This is of course usual for rumours to start flying around as we head into the final stages of the season, but what is most interesting is there seems to be complete confusion in the rumour mill about whether Damien Comolli or Kenny Dalglish will be the one having the greatest influence on transfers. In one instance you will read, Kenny Dalglish’s name linked with a British player, while it will always be exclusively reported that Damien Comolli is interested in a foreign player.
No one can really know what the summer will hold for LFC. If King Kenny does get the job full time, he will surely have a final say on transfer targets but the collegial strategy which FSG are going for in regards to transfer decisions means that Damien Comolli will surely have some say too. At the moment it looks as if Kenny is favouring players proven in the Premier League, while Comolli is doing his job by scouring Europe for young talent. Hopefully it means that we get the best of both worlds. While we get some good players from England, perhaps such as Ashley Young and Phil Jones, we will also be hopefully looking at the likes of Eden Hazard and Yann M’Vila.
When John Aldridge named his transfer targets of Young, Adam, Cahill a couple of weeks ago, there was some concern among Liverpool supporters that these players might not be good enough to improve the team. In Charlie Adam’s case especially, I would be very concerned if we opted to buy the player for a sizeable fee, if it was at the expense of a younger, more promising talent from abroad. Of course, only time will tell what sort of strategy the Reds will employ. If we go for player’s purely based on ability, rather than any preconceived notion about home-grown talent, I will be happy.

if we just go purely for english, home-grown, players such as connor wickham and charlie adam, i will be very dissapionted and will not be expecting a top 4 finish. You can’t compare the difference in talent over the likes of eden hazard, alexis sanchez and falcao with charlie adam (i know there in different positions). Go for abroad young talent, it’s the way forward!
I think downing and perotti are the best choices for the wing area because both downing and perotti have everything wingers need and plus they can deliver quality crosses with their weaker foot aswell as dribble past players without cutting inside too much. Downing is english and we can use him untill sterling breaks through into the first team.
We should also buy Wickham and Munian for the future
Kenny has been quoted as saying that talent is more important to him than where they were born. If this is true then this article is useless!
They’ve always said they aim to get young quality players. And often it is better not too buy everey big player that is out there. A player like Downing could do really well. I believe he only has 1 assist less compared to Young this season. But besides downing there are more quality young players. We could actually get Jarvis for a small amount of money. These kind of players can only grow if their potential allows them to.
Maybe 1 or 2 big signings along with 2 or 3 smaller signings would do the trick.
There are a couple of weeks to the end of the season, why not wait and see, instead of believing everything written by lazy gutter press hacks.
sorry guys but im all for buying proven premiership players, btw gary cahill is awesome and a perfect addition to the squad and can definitely fill carraghers void when hes out. we have a patchy record of foreigners that cant play to our style
Charlie Adam is not English – for those who don’t know..
He is British though as the article states
