ServedI think he needs to work on a few things first. For instance the weight of his pass, sometimes he puts so much force behind a pass not even top top players can control the ball without it knocking them off balance.

That's what Adblock is for, my friend!Mods: Can you remove the Gerrard slip gif please. I find it highly disturbing, not to say quite distressing.
Thanks in advance.

Are you a City fan?Incoming Bertrand, to join new acquisitions Can, Lambert and Lallana. I shudder at the thought...
For a club with 80mil to spend it seems odd that they can't come up with the money to buy Moreno.Incoming Bertrand, to join new acquisitions Can, Lambert and Lallana. I shudder at the thought...
It's about not paying what the club considers an inflated price.For a club with 80mil to spend it seems odd that they can't come up with the money to buy Moreno.
I expect Henderson to be made vice captain and eventually captain. If he can put in a performance like Spurs away in more often (not necessarily the goal) then I see no reason to force him out of the best eleven either.Allen is decent, not average. Lucas is up in the air since his injury. Might be good by now, looked average coming back from injury though.
The important part for all of them is that they are all capable of performing the job asked of them in midfield. They are a very well integrated unit.
At length, we'll want higher quality in there. Henderson may be doing well, but ideally he shouldn't be able to get a starting berth.
But midfield is not a big concern for me. They delivered eminently last season.
They'll only be average signings if the side's performances are average on a regular basis. Seeing as none of them have kicked a ball for Liverpool yet, I think you're being a tad premature in writing them off just yet. They'll be playing for a very good manager who's style of football got the best out of Luis Suarez last season. I think a lot of people tend to overlook that fact.Can, Lallana, Lambert and possibly Bertrand and Lovren while losing Suarez...after finally getting back in the top 4 they aren't half making some average signings. I mean the 3 Southampton players will probably cost them over £50m, that's a lot of money.
I am not, I think Lallana is an excellent player who will be suited to our style of play, Lambert is a good all round footballer who gives us a more physical presence up front and quality in his link up and set plays.The majority of reds I speak to are worried about there dealings in the transfer market so far. I just hope they sign Lovren for 25m and Bambi on ice whose been upfront for Belgium.
Think Allen is very limited Gerrard is done the best two you have is Lucas and Henderson they are water carriers. Not great IMO we are in the same boat to be fair.Allen is decent, not average.

Lucas is not better than Gerrard or Allen. Gerrard is lightyears ahead of him and Allen is better as things stand too.Think Allen is very limited Gerrard is done the best two you have is Lucas and Henderson they are water carriers. Not great IMO we are in the same boat to be fair.
Hearing on Portuguese radio that it's done. Pleaer be true.Markovic apparently is getting closer.
A young attacking player from Benfica.Hearing on Portuguese radio that it's done. Pleaer be true.
Ps. Who is Markovic?
Wasn't much in Portuguese press on it today other than you're still interested and that he's back in training as normal with Benfica tomorrow. Cracking signing for you though if it happens, he's inconsistent as feck at the moment but he's a great player.Markovic apparently is getting closer.
Majority of reds are typical transfer whoppers.The majority of reds I speak to are worried about there dealings in the transfer market so far. I just hope they sign Lovren for 25m and Bambi on ice whose been upfront for Belgium.
I agreeMajority of reds are typical whoppers.
Won't help you much if 35 of them are for Barcelona5. I think Sturridge, Sterling and Suarez will fetch 60 goals between them providing injuries go their way.
Think Lucas is better than Allen plus Gerrard was a better player than any them but he's had a serious loss of engine and energy.Lucas is not better than Gerrard or Allen. Gerrard is lightyears ahead of him and Allen is better as things stand too.
No signings that make you say "man, they're going to be hard to beat next season."Lallana
Lambert
Lovern
Lazar markovic
Emre can
Origi
Anyone else?
Liverpool should just buy southampton and be done with it. These are good signings and i think all of them would have signed without champions league too. Liverpool havent bought what you would call is a champions league quality player yet. Sanchez is going to arsenal and Reports have linked Pool with huntelar who is decent but his style of play is much more lambert than say suarez (poacher vs Attacking goal scorer).
You could have been saying exactly the same thing this time 12 months ago.No signings that make you say "man, they're going to be hard to beat next season."
A leftback and an attacker more I expect.Lallana
Lambert
Lovern
Lazar markovic
Emre can
Origi
Anyone else?
Only Chelsea have made any signings so far that make you think that. It's only July though.No signings that make you say "man, they're going to be hard to beat next season."
We'll bring in another attacker as a Suarez replacement.So Liverpool fans are you stronger next season or not?
It seems Suarez is being replaced by Lallana, Markovic, Lambert, Can, Lovren and Maybe Bertrand and Origi........
Those players are not replacing Suarez, they're adding a bit of quality/depth to the squad, which was always the intention anyway, with, or without, Suarez. Our bench was piss-poor last season, containing the likes of Aspas & Moses. We'll hopefully have a few more 'game-changers' at our disposal next time around.So Liverpool fans are you stronger next season or not?

People said the same in 1977 when Kevin Keegan left. We won the European Cup the following year.Just can't see any way they get a sniff of the title with these signings. A bunch of solid, decent players that would've been very good signings in addition to Suarez, but I can't see them making up for such a massive hole he's going to leave.
Had Suarez stayed another season and carried them to another CL finish and then left then I could see some top class replacement saying to themselves "yeah, it appears that Liverpool may be a side that will consistently be in the CL and if I come here I can be the last piece to the puzzle." But they can't attract that type of player now. They now have the 5th strongest squad in the league in my opinion.
Yet to be seen. Once that happens we can discuss.The more I think about it, the more it looks like they are trying to build a squad that can hopefully consolidate a place in the top 4, and aren't even thinking about winning trophies, in the short term at least.
Problem is with United and Arsenal you are expecting them to be adding world class quality to squads that on paper should have been top 4 teams.
Luis Suarez directly contributed to around 45 goals and who knows how many just due to his mere presence and menace. Who could you possibly sign to make up for that? It's not like Rodgers is going to turn good players into world class ones just because you had a brilliant season last term.People said the same in 1977 when Kevin Keegan left. We won the European Cup the following year.
People said the same in 1987 when Ian Rush left. We won the title the following year.
People said the same in 2004 when Michael Owen left. We won the Champions League the following year.
The performance of our promising young manager will have a far greater bearing on what happens to us than the loss of Luis Suarez.
