To be fair though there's a big difference between having £12m to spend and and getting value for it. Would you be happy to pay £12m for someone we apparently valued at £4m - £5m? I for one wouldn't like to go back to the days when all the complaints were about us being taken for a ride with transfer fees.

If I'm being totally honest there probably is a happy medium between where we were then and where we are now. At the moment I'd like to see us splash the cash for a genuine improvement in the first team who fits into our plans - not splashing the cash on someone who's not worth it for the sake of making a "marquee" signing.

for 1 'Marquee' signing you could get 2 to 3 decent first team players. IMO thats where Liverpool need to improve. Currently I think of the Liverpool starting XI only Mignolet, Johnson, Agger, Gerrard, Coutinho and Suarez are premiership winning level players. Perhaps a bit harsh on Sturridge there but he needs to start scoring 15+ goals a season in the league to be considered.

To be honest I don't care how much they spend as long as he's of the quality we need and improves the squad.

I remember people criticising people spending £20m on Torres ffs.

Who here thinks allen will start tomorrow i for one hope not
Iwas hoping to see some willian news but i shoulda known:(

I'd be surprised if Allen doesn't start tomorrow. I reckon Sturridge will as well, and the only real question mark is whether it will be Sterling or Aspas starting on the right.

I reckon it will be:

Mignolet

Johnson---Toure---Agger---Enrique

Lucas

Gerrard

Allen

Aspas

Sturridge

Coutinho

I'd personally like to see Allen out and Sterling in to start on the left with Coutinho playing centrally, but I think the above is what will start, with a possibility of Sterling in for Aspas.

Apparently the Daily Fail lived up to it's name and says that they reckon Suarez is likely to play.

Worrying, if they thought Siquiera was of the standard required then upping to £12m should not be a problem.

25 million pounds will nab him I'd say. Shaktar have said they are willing to sell if they get an offer near what they paid....and they paid around 30 million. Liverpool clearly have around that amount if they were in for Mhikitaryan for 22 million.

It's possible. He going to want around 100k a week though. Bear that in mind.

Only 25% more than we were paying Downing. Or the same as we were paying Reina.

Adding Mignolet, Willian and Aspas, losing Reina, Shelvey and Downing, and we are probably still 20-40K a week better off.

What i think the team will be Vs Stoke

_____________Mignolet___________
Johnson___Toure___Agger__Enrique
_________Lucas_____Gerrard______
_____________Allen______________
___Aspas______________Coutinho__
___________Sturridge____________

i would start Coutinho in for Allen & have Sterling on the left

its probably the first time that a player that has been linked to Liverpool over the course of a couple of years has actually gotten in the door. Pity is wasnt Arda Turan!

Is Arda in the last year of his contract now? Would be worth a punt.

He would be, albeit one that we would know has the potential to be a first teamer.

We do need a couple of proper first team signings, but would not be against bringing in some decent cover at left back should Siquiera be a no go.

For all the big talk, money is not being spent. We are either saving funds for the big 'wow' signing, or else we are generally resigned to not paying what they perceive as too much.

If they are interested in upgrading the LB position they should have identified someone already that is worthy of spending a decent chunk of change on rather than trying to get the best cheap player as seems to be the actual route they are going down. This is unlikely to result in any meaningful actual upgrade unfortunately. There are of course exceptions, but either identify your man and go for him with commitment, or else admit that they are working under budgetary constraints.

Can't see us signing him at all. Would love to be wrong, but I shan't be getting my hopes up.

so were getting the average Cissokho instead of Siqueira
not a great signing unless Cissokho can get back to his Porto/Lyon form

Siqueira is a far superior player to the Cissokho of Valencia, but if Cissokho arrived and recreated his first few seasons at Lyon in terms of form ( his Porto form only consisted of the five or so months of league time) then we would have a beast of a full back who would either force Enrique to up his game or replace Enrique.

Of the two Siqueira would be my first choice, but a cheap deal or loan deal for Cissokho would not be a bad gamble to take. He has the ability and he has age on his side.

SlickRic

and I nearly forgot...1 day to go.

Cissokho would be something at least, but it's not what we vitally need.

CB, player for the front 3, and proper cover for Lucas, IMO, are the 3 positions that need attention.

Willian would be a great statement, but i'll believe it when i see it.

it's still a poor window if someone like Willian doesn't come in. and even with Willian coming, it would only have been a meh window. and that's pushing it greatly. a D grade. passable.

i know Barrett's been full of shi recently, but I tend to believe this.

All he has being doing for months now is reheating stuff other media outlets and journos have put outthere.

The deal agreed in principle thing has been floating about for a couple of weeks now.

Cissokho will be the new boo boy

this is a really poor signing, hes not an improvement on what we already have.

If he signs a permanent deal in the future i'd be shocked
