    If he does that's a name going on the back of a jersey for sure !

    The last 3 years.

    He scored 20 goals in France 3 years ago.
    The last 2 years he scored 22 goals.

    I get what your saying but he's not exactly banging them in either.
    Playing for poor teams with the creativity at lfc I can see him getting 20 goals

    He's our best midfielder but what age is the chap? 32? You can't be asking a 32 year old to be a regular starter with the amount of games we're facing.

    That's why we need another midfielder as well as, as you pointed out, for the likes of Hendo, Allen and Can to step up. Stevie G is at a stage where he can be still be used as an asset, but we need to be smart about how we deploy him.

    Stevie is 34.

    I think Remy could get 20 if you knew he was going to play every game. He'll probably start on the bench for a good chunk of games though.

    Eh.....why is borini starting? If he picks up a bad injury the deal will be off.

    Goals for a forward are vital.

    Many made the same argument when Downing was at the club. 'He provides great cover for the full back'.

    I don't like to rip into players but downing was a coward . When you watched him play you sat there and though get some chalk on those boots and beat a man . Except the ball always seemed to go backwards or Enrique overlapped and tried to make something happen .

    Im assuming its a goodbye game, or the Sunderland deal is smoke and mirrors.

    Why play Fabio since he's as good as gone?
    Surely one of the kids or literally anyone else is a better option?

    Nice send off for Borini today if the deal goes through. He gave us the impression that he would have done anything for the club, and regardless of ability, you can't ask for more than that.

    No agger or tex. The likes of peterson, rossiter and adorjan arent going to the usa tour so i guess it makes sense.

    TBH I wouldnt start him but would be happy to see him centrally if sturridge was injured.
    I can see him starting a lot of games.

    With rotation of our players both out wide and centrally during the game to drag fullbacks and centerbacks out of position and expose spaces for midfielders to run into, i can see Sturridge, Remy and Lambert starting a lot of games.

    I use to do the same in football manager for departing players, usually as a thank you for your service gesture.

    I would say Sunderland have said we want him in tip top nick when he gets here so he has to play to get his fitness up .

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Liverpool consulted with Sunderland and their preference was for him to play x minutes as part of preseason training.

    I'd be fairly happy with Remy, seems a snip at that price, I know his wages might be steep but still good value.

    Thanks for the responses on Agger.

    As people said it was mentioned a few times over the years but Kess and others made valid points regarding mobility and reading of the game which is vital.

    If he read the game better he wouldn't get caught so often at set pieces!!!

    I'm happy with Remy, reminds me of the chance we had to sign Anelka and blew it.

    Hope the deal goes through.

    A fresh Remy and Sterling running at a tired defense for the last 20 mins of a game is exactly the option we need.

    I'll have to look at our games again from last season but I don't think we scored a lot of goals in the last 10 minutes of games.

    Looking forward to seeing Lambert in a Liverpool shirt today. I'd love to see a debut goal and the beaming smile that would follow!

    Unless we sign pogba or Vidal or someone of that ilk he will continue to start. We don't have anyone better currently.

    Sturrigde , Lambert and Remy is a good strike force to have . As good as Suarez was LFC have three proper options upfront now .

    Suarez+Sturridge beats Sturridge+Lambert+Remy.

    32? I wish he was 32. Oh to have a 32 year old Gerrard would be sweet!
