Many Reds fans would like to see Baines at the club for his attack minded full back play but Everton are likely to give any Reds approach for the player short shrift. In regards to Jose Enrique, Alan Pardew yesterday suggested the Spaniard wants to move to a club in the Champions League. This would suggest Arsenal would be in pole position, although it has been reported anyway that the Reds have cooled their interest as they are not convinced by the player’s defensive ability.
So where does it leave Liverpool in their left back search? It leaves them looking abroad, but it is apparent that there is a dearth of talent here too. If we look at all the top European leagues, very few quality full backs come to mind. Fabio Coentrao has moved to Real Madrid, rumoured Liverpool target and Spanish international Nacho Monreal moved from Osasuna to Malaga, and the only real quality target left is Aly Cissokho. The Frenchman has not had a particularly good season himself in regards to form and has fallen out with Lyon fans. I still feel though he would be the best target available. Are there any other names the Reds should consider?

Toulouse’s m’bengue…
Indeed we seem to be buying good but not top class players. Would it be enough to catch up with the top four who though better than us last season are still strengthening with top class players. Also vilaa and spurs bought good/average british players but how did they go .
only play top 4 sides six times a season. kk is signing guys to beat all the other sides in the league. if we go 3-5-2 in the big games we’ll be fine. really happy with who we’ve signed so far.
marcelo from real madrid. Very impressive going forward AND defending. Plus real madrid signing coentro we could get him on the cheap ( 10-15 million pounds)
Marcelo can’t defend
Mourinho would be insane to let Marcelo go. With the exception of Ronaldo, he is their best player. I ought to know – I saw at least thirty to thirty-five of their games last season. If Kenny can get him he can walk on water.
he’s an explosive fullback, very agile n fast, but vile most attacking fullbacks, his defensive abilities are questionable.
He’ll be a coup though
we should go for BASTOS OR ALY CissokhO .I WOULD RATHER ALY …BUT AT THE SAME TIME I REALY REALY DO FEEL OUR OWN JACK ROBINSON COULD WELL OWN THIS SPOT..i kno he is young n inexpeirence but he is very very impressive though .give the young boi a chance n keep insua n fabio orelio for back…
We need a back up striker not necessary because NGOG might be leaving but because we can build a team around carrol.
I hope he(carrol) start perfoming before fans start getting on his back.
