Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 *mod warning linked in OP 26/07*

Agent Coulson

Could be a good time to look at Juve players.


This will sound crazy as fcuk I know I don't even know why I thought of it but anyhow what about..


35 year old Pirlo for 1 season even if he just plays a hand full of games letting the younger players train and watch and play alongside him would be amazing for them.

Also jersey sales lol

No smoke without fire, I'd say it's a formality now.

Himself and Griezmann in the same team should be fun to watch.

I presume Agger will get the full game, maybe even as captain? Great game for him.

Hopefully illori gets a decent amount of time too, interested to see suso too. Will miss the game myself.

You need to be on and waiting at 8.15 to have any decent shot of getting tickets

Can you put yourself into the queue before 8.15 or do you have to log in by 8.15 sort of thing?

Provided he can hold down his place against stiff competition from Bertrand.

Would also love us to hijack any Vidal move so long as he proves he's fast enough.

Really? So Davies would be a good signing for the LB slot so even at around £10m

Davies has two full season playing for a team that plays similar to us compared to Bertrand who has played less then 40 PL games and is 4 years older than Davies.


So yes Davies is worth the extra £2m compared to paying £7/8m for Bertrand.

If we weren't willing to go over 16 mill to 20 mill for moreno then we aren't going to be in for Rodriguez, he would cost more again.

no you're looking at iit the wrong way. It's not that they are not willing to spend 20mill on a left back. They are not willing to spend 20mill on a left back they believe to be worth 16mill.

As much as I love Pirlo, I really don't think he would suit the premier league. The high pressing teams aren't going to stand around and watch him play. Italian league is much slower IMO.

He'd have to be at least as fast as Johnson if he wants to take the RB slot.

Todays squad...


The Reds' squad in full is: Jones, Agger, Coutinho, Lucas, Allen, Ilori, Borini, Suso, Ibe, Kelly, Coady, Skrtel, Flanagan, Adorjan, Smith, Phillips, Rossiter, Wisdom, Jones, Ward, Teixeira, Peterson, Stewart.

Thought adorjan was gone, only one striker too by the looks.

Wheres Can? He has been training with the squad.

Oh ya I know that but ability wise does he have it in his locker to go on to the next level?

Over Bertrand yes.

But that is why I said Rodriguez over both of them.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek saying Pirlo.

Could you imagine those who said Gerrard's legs are gone (myself included) saw a high paced Liverpool team with Gerrard and Pirlo in it :pac:

They would break there keyboards giving out on the internet about it.:D

Few notable absences there. Enrique, Robinson, McLaughlin, Yesil, and Can. Enrique has been out of the squad for so long you have to wonder will be ever be the same player again! Probably expect Can to get his first game on Saturday.

Borini will get a chance to start upfront, so it's vital for him that he can grab a goal and use this chance to play his way into the team. There's also going to be some interesting battles between some of the younger lads. There's not room for all of Teixeira, Peterson, Adorjan, Ibe and Suso. For a few of the older lads, this pre-season will be their last chance to make it at this club.

Keep an eye on young Adam Phillips if he gets some game time. He's only just joined as a highly thought of scholar and he must be impressing if he's going into the senior squad.

Vidal is a superb player and better than anything we have in midfield tbh but I still wouldn't have an interest in him. We have Hendo and lallana to do the box to box job. The money could be spent on more pressing needs. Vidal as a deep lying playmaker/dm Would be a waste.

Well said sir.

I think any Juventus player who has a bit of respect for the club and their fans would find it incredibly difficult to make a straight move to Liverpool unfortunately. That being said they completely stitched us up with Poulsen

Money in:

-CL = 40M
- Suarez = 75M

All the new sponsorship deals for the club last season too .

Money out:

Markovic = 20m
Llalana = 25m (lets say)
Lambert = 6m
Can = 10m

Leaves us with 55m left to my mind assuming the owners don't fund anything using thier "own" cash.

[\quote]

I think there is close to 100 million left for transfers at this stage . Didn't FSG say a lot of the loss where put on the books over the last few years so they could comply with FFP when LFC got back into the champions league .

Chelsea with Felipe Luis now.

we need to shore up our backline, and pronto.

joe123

Another stellar signing from Chelsea getting in Felipe Luis. Great player.

Liverpool have fallen way behind already for next season and not a ball kicked. Especially if Arsenal end up signing Khedira.

Such a shame that we aren't capitalising on last season. The time to bring in proven quality was now.

There's roughly 45 days until the window closes and we've barely scratched the surface in spending the Suarez cash. Just cool your jets and relax, things will happen.
