you really believe that? Lambert and Borini?

I'd definitely take Lambert over Hernandez and Welbeck, not sure about Borini but I think he'll come good this year.

Welbeck is useless, wouldn't look out of place in the Airtricity League.

I do agree with you thought we need another top striker as I think Aspas and Borini will be off.

Aspas will definitely be off. Rodgers wants 4 strikers though so I think Borini will stay for the time being.

Borini will join Sunderland at some point I reckon.

I think Bony would be a great addition. Proven goalscorer, since he broke into regular first team action he's got 20+ goals per season.
I can only think that with the service that our midfield may offer that that tally would increase with us.
He's also used to faced paced passing attacking play with Swansea.

Top-4 teams need players of Bony's calibre as back-up. It's not really enough to go into a season competing on 4 fronts with Sturridge, Lambert, Sterling and Aspas as our centre-forward options.

This is what we're competing with, with the likelihood that Chelsea and Arsenal will further strengthen up-front over the summer:

City: Aguero, Negredo, Dzeko, Jovetic
Chelsea: Costa, Torres, Ba
Arsenal: Giroud, Podolski, Walcott
United: RVP, Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck

The return of Ivanhoe!

I'd also like to see the re-signing of Owen, for the sole purpose that it will keep him off the commentary on BT Sports.

To echo the sentiments of others, I do rate Bony, I thought he was quality last season, but I just don't see how he fits in to our squad at the moment. Presumably Rodgers will play with one main striker and that'll be Sturridge with Lambert as back up. I would have thought we'd be looking for a more flexible WF type player.

I do like how the squad is shaping up at the moment, will be so nice to have a bit of quality in reserve next season, or even being able to mix up the team depending on opponents, last season the team pretty much picked itself week in week out, I look forward to Rodgers hopefully giving a few tactical masterclasses next season as he will have more tools to be able to do so.

Praise Lord Victory Moses, as the prophecy of Bony2K134 shall be fulfilled with the lethal accuracy of one Iago Aspas corner set piece and a single Charlie Adam penalty kick.

Bony is a good player but I find it hard to see where he fits in at Liverpool. He can't really play as a wide forward so he can only really be played right up front through the centre. Lambert kinda fills his role already even though Bony is younger and better. Sturridge wants to play through the centre so do you play him and Bony together? Would have thought Rodgers would have been looking more for a versatile attacker who can play up front but out wide as part of a front 3 as well.

Agreed, good player but I don't think he's right for us at all

Agent Coulson

I can see a lot of rotation with the starting midfield and forwards.

The bench will be a lot stronger this season which can only be a good thing.

Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, Lallana, Can, + probably 2 more.

Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge, Markovic, Lambert + two more.

There is a lot of legs and speed there.

Time to sort out a solid stable back 5 now.

Would be absolutely fantastic if the club made a move for someone like Marco Reus. Guaranteed goals from a wide position.

Long term I think Markovic will play more centrally. Would also prefer to see Lallana playing as one of 3 central midfielders alongside Gerrard and possibly a more robust box to box midfielder (possibly Can).
Mignolet

Aurier
Lovren
Sakho
Moreno

Gerrard
Lallana
Can

Markovic
Reus
Sturridge

The above team is fantasy stuff of course, but has great balance to it.

Yeah, talk of pandas and the like > complete and utter fantasy over Reus.

And to think, I was gullible in thinking Liverpool fans here at least wouldn't be so silly to suggest him like Arsenal and Man U fans have been doing in the past.

Hate these "fantasy" lineups, but in fairness I do like the look of that XI. Really good balance in midfield, the only downside being Gerrard really who I don't think is disciplined enough week in week out for that role. Still does a good job though, but in Europe we will need more.

Can and Lallana playing either side is intriguing, I think Can is going to pleasantly surprise alot of people, he has all the tools to be a superstar and has a high ceiling in terms of development.

I have also mentioned Reus, and although I'd LOVE to see it I don't think it will materialise unfortunately.

May as well have Messi as Reus, but it's fairly viable other than that.

I'd have Henderson ahead of all three of those midfielders for the job he does though. Not sure if it's a future team or one for the coming season, either Gerrard or Can would be out depending on which.

So for now:

Gerrard
--Henderson

Lallana

In 1-2 years (additional signings notwithstanding):

Can
--Henderson

Lallana

Hopefully we can push on and add some top top players but if Can delivers and Henderson and Lallana keep advancing as they are it could be a very strong side.
