I'd love to see Rodgers just unleash the Liverpool front line against Barca with no expectations other than to try to win, be great fun!

If Liverpool make the CL and Napoli do I really hope the two meet in the group stage.

That would be mighty.

I really think Liverpool will get CL this season. This is a massive season. We really do belong in the top 4 this season based on performances. Although there have been bad and frustrating performances at times overall we are playing some beautiful stuff. The good far outweighs the bad.

I think with the CL qualification and of course the money that goes along with it, Rodgers will finally be able to nail down those transfer targets that got away from us previously. This season will be a chance to cement our place back in the top 4 for the next 4 or 5 years, probably at the expense of United. The Moyes appointment has set them back massively, much in the way Souness did at Liverpool. I think they will be rueing his arrival for many years.

Made an offer to Bacary Sagna for the summer according to Dimarzio.

mike65 · 19-02-2014 12:37AM

Arsenal will not sell to Liverpool unless its part exchange for youknowwho.

He is/will be a free agent, there is no selling involved.

he is out of contract

mike65 · 19-02-2014 12:40AM

Oh right, 30 years old and free. I guess we could go with that. Kolo out? or the replacement for Agger?

Johnson and/or Kelly I would think.

Hes a rb, although i think hes an emergency cb for em also. Bit of an odd one, we are heavy with rbs at the moment, if its true youd imagine johnson and kelly are goneski in the summer. Still think we should go after montoya, was sitting in the stands again tonight.

mike65 · 19-02-2014 12:51AM

Sorry its late, he's a full back

Johnson is clearly on a fine line as his contract runs down as is Kelly with his injury record.

Sagna/Wisdom/Flano/McLaughlin?

hefferboi · 19-02-2014 01:37AM

Sagna is one of the best rbs in the PL imo. Would be a very good signing on a free and would probably see the end of Johnson at the club.

ManOnFire · 19-02-2014 01:54AM

cant see the logic in Sagna would be surprised if we went for him. An ageing player looking for one last big payday. Don get me wrong i rate him but losing Johnson and getting Sagna wont push us on. We need to get a younger hungrier full back on both sides that'l be a fixture for years. Payers to build around. No short term fixes

I'm usually against signing older players but hes only 30 so he has a good 2 to 3 years at least left at the top. He's been fantastic this season for Arsenal. My only worry would be injuries and wages.

Lukker- · 19-02-2014 03:39AM

Sturridge's fashion sense is worse then his dance

In an ideal world, this is definitely true, but in reality you have to pick your battles.

Fullback is a position where we're quite strong with Johnson and Enrique (when they're not injured). If we can maintain the status quo there, and spend the big bucks elsewhere, that will see the team "push on" as a whole. Young fullbacks who can play at the same level as Johnson and Sagna aren't cheap unfortunately. Putting off the problem for a year or two by swapping Sagna for Johnson, while we consolidate our position with money put into midfield would serve us better imo.

Nuri Sahin · 19-02-2014 07:10AM

Would rather see McLaughlin get his chance next season than signing Sagna tbh, not that I believe there is anything to this Sagna to Liverpool rumour anyway unless he's happy with a spot on the bench.

Also, I've seen people here and elsewhere say we should offload Toure recently. For me... nah. Low wages and his presence is very good for team morale by all accounts, worth the wages alone given all the comments about him by the manager and other players. Not his fault he's played far more than expected this season. Undoubtedly a fourth choice CB at best for us.

ush · 19-02-2014 08:49AM

A lot of work to be done on the defense. Don't get too attached to any of the current defenders.

Morzadec · 19-02-2014 08:56AM

Sagan has arguably been the best rb in the leaguer his year.

Ideally we would spend a sizeable chunk on a younger player, but Sagna could be a decent option if funds are tight. Depends what happens with Johnson, but Sagna is a top player who I would imagine has another couple of years at the top of his game

All I could think of was "imagine Anfield with Barca playing". I remember the games back in 01/02.

And knocking them out when they were holders in 2007

Paulegend · 19-02-2014 09:57AM

i know its unrealistic that everton would sell but i would love it if we just tried to sign coleman. if we could get coleman and shaw for our full back spots next year it would be amazing. then try to get a top class center back like hummels or chellini. a top class name anyway. then we need a strong midfielder who can win possession maybe like pogba basquets or vidal. then we need a winger like lucas moura or draxler and a striker like martinez or even if we signed someone like adeboyour or keane. an experienced striker that could be backup to sturridge and suarez

we have a lot of players who might be sold this summer so we should generate some funding with them. hopefully with champions league football our owners will allow some heavy investment to help us stay where we belong

migs
coleman----hummels---sakho----shaw

gerrard

coutinho

basquets
sturridge

moura

suarez

jones
flano

kelly

ilori----robbo

hendo

alberto

allen
ossaidi

sterling

keane

thats with the possible departures of agger, skrtel, coates, reina, toure, wisdom, glen, enrique, borini and aspas

dont think that so many will leave if the investment IS NOT there though. we will need a much bigger squad next season so if we dont have more than 20 or 30 million to spend i can see us holding onto nearly everyone. bar the exceptions of reina coates and maybe one or two of the likes of toure agger and skrtel. glen could be going but i think he will sign a new contract if we get champions league. some compromise will be made regarding the wage structure with him. he is still a top right back

Vinz Mesrine · 19-02-2014 10:01AM

^^^^^^^^^
WHAT THE GOOD FVCK???

tok9 · 19-02-2014 10:02AM

Sagna would be an excellent signing however I don't believe it either. He'd have no issue getting a much better contract somewhere else.

That said if we were to sign him on reasonable wages and let go of Johnson it'd be excellent business imo.

A new RB to help the younger players coming up and give them another year before they play consistently.

We must sign Sagan. He has been out of this world this season :pac::pac::pac:

I'd have Messi in our 2nd team instead of Assaidi but that's splitting hairs

I think this answers who Bangkok is.

Also took me a second to realise flannokellyillori wasn't some Eastern European player.

Coleman's been the best right back in the league

So it wasn't rarnes in the United thread the other day. It was Paulegend.

All makes sense now.
