That didn't work out so well for Spurs last year. Although that's not much of a sample size.

What positions do you guys need 5 signings for? A striker, a Gerrard replacement (necessary in the medium term), a left back, what else?

But for next season LFC will need to have a bigger squad . So I can see why the club will needs more players . Your only as strong as your bench and last seasons bench was pretty dire .
Lambert will more then likely be on the bench but he is an option so is Borini an option too . LFC need more of these type of players aswell as first team players .

True, and I was the first one saying you'd need to extend the squad back in April. Though I don't think those bench options will be causing much worry too be perfectly honest. (At least, not compared with City and Chelsea, and to a lesser extent Arsenal).

I was just asking in which positions you'd be expecting those signings, and noting that it could have a negative impact on the team itself, but I guess that can't really be helped.

They were only 3 points down on the season before. I would take that right now for Liverpool.

Remy for £$€8m is a no brainer really.

For sure.

Think it was one of the echo lads had a webchat a while ago and said if a keeper comes in it will more then likely be a young understudy sort of keeper.

I'm hoping against hope it's an improvement on Mignolet.

ie. I've said it before, a few times. I could find you a post to that effect, though I'm sure you'd trawl through them and find one from the day before just to prove your "point".

I'm not sure what your pettiness is about.

Early days yet and there was chat Borini could go. Put it this way Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho, Lallana, Markovic, Remy and Ibe gives us more squad options than last year when we had Moses and Alberto. I do agree that we can't compare with Chelsea or Arsenals options but we badly need to add to the squad. We only really had 13/14 players we could rely on last year it was that bad. So it is different to what Spurs did.

Hollister11 · 17-07-2014 10:22PM

We paid 18M for lallana
Madird paid 20M for kroos

I think that doesn't fully sum it up though. They were down 9 points relative to what they wanted to complete for (the Cl places, they went from a point away to 10 off 4th).

Kroos was never a viable option!

Lallana on probably £70k a week.

Kroos on probably £150/200k a week.

That web chat was surprising saying the club expected more from Mig. Remy makes sense but as mentioned wages could be a problem, he's on 75k or so. Still one quality attacking addition for me.

I don't think strenghening the squad will have a bad effect . I think it will have a good effect .
I mean you can see last season when a player was injured it would leave you scratching your head and thinking who is going to come in now .
If Suarez and Sturrigde had of been out at the same time it would have been aspas leading the line an I don't think that would have worked at all .
Plus competition for places will also make your starting 11 perform better because if they don't perform you can drop them or rotate them .

The wages part makes up for getting him at half price really.

Didn't someone post the other day that for a top 4 club to buy him it was £8m and anyone outside the top 4 it was closer to £15m.

ManOnFire · 17-07-2014 10:28PM

Drives me crackers when people do that to have a pop at the club!

I only trawl through my posts if I want to laugh at a bad prediction or bump something.

You say first one like Liverpool fans are unaware that strength of depth was a massive issue for what, last season, even longer that that, that's what it read like.

Yeah I did. Think it was £8M for us. £11M for Everton and Spurs. £15m for those not in Europe.

I maintain Mignolet was an improvement on Reina over his last 3 seasons, but I lost count the amount of times I shat a brick when the ball came back to Mignolet during matches. I've never seen a goalkeeper so nervous on the ball since playing under age level. The sweeping part is vitally important too and something he completely lacks. Lloris would be ideal in that regards.

That really is great work by his agent I think getting him that kind of contract.

Kroos had 1 year left on his contract and will be on a minimum of 200K P/W.

‏@TonyBarretTimes
Rodgers also put Alexis Sanchez's decision to join @Arsenal ahead of @LFC down to "geography." "The player wanted to live somewhere else."

Osmosis Jones · 17-07-2014 10:39PM

@TonyBarretTimes: Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that @LFC are yet to dip into the proceeds of Luis Suarez's sale despite spending £60m already this summer.

There we have it, plenty of money still to be spent.
