Linked with Liverpool this week, St Etienne’s Dimitri Payet is a winger with a capability to score a fair few goals. During the current Ligue One campaign, the 23 year old, best described as a right forward, has scored seven goals in as many games, topping the goal scoring charts in France’s top division. In the process, he has helped guide St Etienne to the summit of Ligue One for the first time in 28 years. For his efforts he has also been rewarded with his first call up to France’s senior squad by Laurent Blanc.
Payet was born on the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, making his way to the French mainland to make a name for himself in European football. Starting off life at Reunion club AS Saint-Philippe, he moved to one of the island’s biggest club’s AS Saint-Pierroise after three years, spending a year a the club before moving to Saint-Pierroise’s parent club in mainland France Le Harve. After spending 3 years in Le Harve’s youth academy, he returned to Reunion for a brief spell with Reunion Premier League side AS Excelsior before returning swiftly back to France again with Ligue One side Nantes.

Sell :
– Brad Jones for 2M (Sell only in the July transfer window 2011)
– Charles Itandje for 1M
– Sotirios Kyrgiakos for 3M
– Fabio Aurelio for 5M
– Christian Poulsen for 5M
– Lucas Leiva for 6M
– Maxi Rodriguez for 9M
– Ryan Babel for 6M
– Dirk Kuyt for 15M
– Milan Jovanovic for 7M
Buy :
David de Gea for 10M – Only 19 and already seems like a Casillas. Plus he has a desire of playing on the same team as Torres, this is his chance. His chance to do as well as Pepe maybe even better, his chance to shine at Anfield, his chance to play with Torres.
Frank Fielding for1/4 M – To replace Brad Jones. Plus, he maintains the number of English players in the squad.
Fabio Coentrao for 10M – He is a superb left-back, full of pace and is capable of running pass defenders. He’s like a left-footed Glen Johnson who loves going forward with the ball and getting shots on goal as well as supplying good balls into the box. We can get Mereiles to persuade him to sign for Liverpool.
Javi Martinez for 18M – Young, has a great eye, really fast, good in the air(excellent for set-pieces), could be the next Xabi Alonso(a void that couldn’t be filled since Xabi left) and at 21 he is a heck load better than Lucas.
Juan Mata for 10M – He’d be the solution to the lack of depth on the left-wing(something that has been missing for quite sometime now). He has the pace, the ability and a great mind . He is one talented young man. Plus he will cope well with Torres. It’d be fantastic to see him in play for Liverpool.
Valter Birsa for 2M – An up and coming player. He still has many more years to come and I’m sure he would like a switch to Liverpool as two seasons ago, we were known as one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs. By making the switch, he gives himself a bigger challenge after succeeding to help Auxerre qualify for the Champs League but this time for Liverpool.
Adam Johnson for 8M – It’d be better if we had some competition. This will make the players do even better to get first team action. Therefore, Juan Mata, Valter Birsa, Joe Cole and Adam Johnson would have to fight for their place in the team. By signing him, we wont only have a great first team but we’ll have super subs too ! Adds to the number of English players in the club.
Eljero Elia for 15M – Forget Carlton Cole, N’gog is almost as good as him. If we want a quality striker, Elia is the man for the job. He’s really fast and talented. I see a bright future for this young lad if he was placed under Hodgson’s wings. With both Torres and Elia’s speed, no doubt this two will cause a heck load of havoc to the opposing teams backline.
Problem solved. Torres and Gerrard will stay. Plus we get more quality additions to the team.
Final team :
Reina, De Gea, Fielding
Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Wilson
G. Johnson, Coentrao, Konchesky, Kelly
Gerrard, Martinez, Mereiles, Spearing, Shelvey
Mata, J. Cole, A. Johnson, Birsa
Torres, Elia, N’gog, Pacheco
Rogue,,,, you have obviously started on teh Friday night drinks a little early!!!!!! Or just playing too much fantasy football,,,, big old mate Roy could not even buy a forward,,,, forget your big list. Law
ROGUE – stick to champ man, this is the real world
i want to respond to rogue but……………the words escape me!
Impressive list Rogue, one drawback, the whole list you have up for sale would probably leave you out of pocket! plus most of these players would turn us down because of our poxy money grabbing owners, so pure fantasy, still we all dream a little. Now back to Payet, yes, it would be nice to see players like him interested in playing at Anfield, But i’m becoming increasingly fed up with all these players being linked to us. Mostly there’s little or no truth behind them, looks like Owen’s comming back too! why? he can’t get in the spastics side, unless Fergie plays his reserves! Mind you probably another load of crap that’s doing the rounds.
ROGUE-: r u mental.we have just signed jones,he hasn’t hardly played a game and you want to get rid of him?also 9 mil for rodriguez ?pure fantasy.let’s just concentrate on getting in champs league this yr and go from there.
List of players that need to be offload this January :-
1.Lucas Leiva
2.Maxi Rodriguez
3.Ryan Babel (even in europa league he didnt play much)
4.Alberto Aquilani
————–
Then buy :-
At least 1 natural winger (Arda Turan/Dimitri Payet)
Buy another striker.
Also:-
Promote Jonjo Shelvey to 1st team, replacing Lucas Leiva ( save money and he’s good too ).
lol @ROGUE-this is not Fooball Manager 2010!hahaha!
Hahahahaha true. I’m dreaming but really Liverpool needs a total revamp. 99.9% unlikely to happen but there is still a possibility but like @Law said Hodgson couldn’t even sign a striker. But I can dream, can’t I?
the best transfer for us is not a footbal player.
the best transfer could be the new owner 😉
sell jova,lucas,poulsen.buy ardan turan,payet,eva benega… livpool dream will come true.or bring back xabi alonsoooooooo.
