I don’t really want to discuss Messrs Poulsen & Ngog again… I think it is clear for all to see that they belong elsewhere! We await the news on Insua, a young player who I feel may still have a lot to offer our great club. As I gather my thoughts, Jordan Henderson has signed… the price not altogether clear, David Ngog may be going in the opposite direction. And so the fun begins….
Our editor has written a piece concerning this purchase, Henderson is essentially a strong, pacey & athletic midfielder who is best used as a central midfielder..surely this purchase will see one or two exits. We are overloading with central midfielders!! Width is still the main concern, Meireles is not a wide midfielder, end of. That lot from down the East Lancs Road look to have secured Ashley Young, so we must turn our attentions to Stewart Downing or Adam Johnson. I really hope the club sign one of these players. Both have Premiership experience, wont take an eternity to settle and can operate on either flank.
I would happily take Gary Cahill from Bolton, possibly ahead of Birmingham’s Scott Dann. The latter would be much cheaper, is a self confessed Liverpool fan and would relish a return to the premier league.
The speculation will continue…. its what makes this time of the year interesting!

Pls try to sign marko marin!!!He was very perfect player….
We have Reina in Goal and now Doni for cover. Galuchi is going out on loan.
TO ONCE AGAIN BE FORTRESS ANFIELD NEEDS A GOOD BACK FOUR……..
At RIGHT BACK:
we have Johnson and Kelly (who can also play at Right Centre Back). Flanagan needs to be loaned out for experience and age.
At RIGHT CENTRE BACK:
we have Carragher. Should get Cahill and Dann. Sell Skrtel and Kiagiakos.
At LEFT CENTRE BACK:
we have Agger. Should get Sakho (who can also play at Left Back. Wilson should go out on loan for age and experience.
At LEFT BACK:
We have noboby, so we must get Aly Sissokho AND Clichy if we can. Sell Insua and release Aurelio
again.Loan out young Robinson.
That gives us defensive options:
Johnson – Carragher – Agger – Sissokho
Kelly – Cahill – Sakho – Clichy
Dann
That is buy 5, sell/release 4, loan out 3
We must also look at DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD to provide cover before the Back Four – we only have Lucas for this role and no one to provide him with cover/competition. If HONDA is available I suggest we get him!Or M’Vila or Matuidi.
We have enough Attacking Midfielders, and Shelvey should also go out on loan (such players are for the future generation)
That leaves us needing to get at least 3 wingers to complete the midfield. For me, we should certainly try for Mata and Jeffren. It looks as though we can also get Marveaux on a Bosman.
That just leaves the STRIKERS. We have Carroll. Suarez and Kuyt. If we get another we complete our squad, and formidable it would be!! If not, we have Gerrard to act as both a Midfielder or a second striker, and Pacheco………
@old times: so u want up to buy 5 defenders. u must be smo**ng something. we might as well sign 15 players.
you actually read all of that…… would not waste my time!!
Please be balanced! It’s true some players take long to adjust but how long did Luis Suarez require? As long as we sign the right kind of players that can become productive immediately, I say Commoli and Dalglish should go out and get them, especially if we are going to be held to ransom by the so called ‘English’ talent.
On the left wing, my preference is Mata if the price is right. That is, if the price we pay for Mata costs us less than the price for Dzsudszak plus Piatti of Almeria or Jeffren of Barcelona. If we cannot get Mata or Dzsudszak, then it is fair to consider Downing plus Piatti or Downing plus Jeffren.
Similarly, my preference for LB is A. Cissokho, EPL experience or not, because this is a player who can compete at the highest levels (CL or France).
YNWA
Like your thinking…However, I’m not sold on Downing and would he prefer not wear the LFC colours. Dzsudszak is a player that we should buy and not have to worry about the huge fee placed on Mata! I said Jeffren about the same time last year with Bojan and for 15m you can get them both! or get Afellay instead of Jeffren if need be. I truly think we should sign Park Chu Young as he’ll be a valuable player off the bench. Clichy is athletic but has so many weaknesses and should avoid it. Bargain with Everton for Baines for 10m and Eccelston and Amoo! Cissokho is fantastic, but Kenny wants more english players in his set up and thats why we’ll see Dann here and Soto and hopefully Dani “I’m injury prone for the rest of my life” Agger out with Wilson on loan. ‘Pool needs to loan out Wisdom, Coady, Ince, Silva, Robinson and Ngoo to Championship sides to gain the experience. Getting Pacheco into Wigan under the mastermind Martinez is a must! That loan will guarantee help him!
Balázs Dzsudzsák just signed elsewhere! yet he has dominated the Dutch league for the past 3 years! Yet we go for overpriced talent like Young, Mata, Downing, Elia, who all have less talent than Balazs! Very very dissapointed Commoli and the King didn’t even consider this player!
If we buy another hardworking english grafter or midfielder…..please kill me
