Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 11/12 (End of March 2012 onwards)

IBTLiverpool sign Bent pic...I think we could still get a decent striker with some proper scouting, I am sure people are sick hearing of Newcastle at this stage but look how they have done. There are a lot more decent players outside the CL than in it and we shud be targeting them.

Money will attract a top class striker regardless of CL for a season or two. Footballers at the end of the day are all more or less no different than the ordinary Joe.

That said i don't see our current owners taking that risk without european cup football so Darren Bent it is.:D

Chucky the tree

Torres every day of the week, even if we could get him to half of what he was when with us he'd be worth it.

Torres is a £10m player now.

I'd like to see us move Gerrard out in the right next season. He would provide decent service for Carroll. We don't use the wings near enough.

And Downing could provide a threat on the left.

Then a box to box midfielder along side Lucas and that would sort alot. Some one similiar to Essien, Ramires, Yaya Toure.

And we need to sign someone with pace on the wings and a new striker.

It is possible that his injuries have taken their toll on him but it would be a huge coincidence that they did so at the same time as his move.

As for Carroll I think what he offers is very limited, might do a job in some premier league games but could you imagine us progressing in the CL with him as our main striker?

It's not beyond the bounds of possibilty that Dalglish had a look at him and thought whatever it was he had at one stage had gone. I know he was scoring goals still but he had a long run of bad injuries that could have ruined him going forward. Not that Kenny or the LFC medical team would ever get praise for spotting that if true.

No not in the CL but I don't think Torres would either.

I'd imagine we'll sign another striker to compete with Carroll.

I don't think we will ever see the old Torres again. His acceleration and pace are gone which were vital.

If Carroll keeps improving, he will have far more to offer than Torres in a year or two IMO.

This. It's the one thing he had in spades that is gone forever imo, pace. The lack of it plus the lack of confidence makes him look average instead of the fearsome player he once was. Honestly i'm happy he's gone because we would be looking at a 20m sell on price now instead of the ransom we recieved from the Russian.

Don't want him back at all. 50m was a fantastic piece of business tbh.

Sorry, but I thought it was Carroll +£15m?

He's also 28.

Could well be gone from Chelsea in the summer, back to Spain I'd say.

Torres for me.

I don't think he is finished... He was scoring right up until the move. I think if we had him and Suarez playing together now it would be a very effective partnership.

I'm refraining from slagging him off, in fear...

i don't think he is finished. in fairness, he has played pretty well in spells this year, without finding the net.

i think he will prove himself again, but hopefully not at chelsea.
