Well I just spent half an hour reading the Man Utd thread thinking it was the other one and wondering where all the Liverpool posters were...now that's stupid.

If it speeds up his exit from the club it's a good thing. Providing better players are coming in of course

Nah.

With Sturridge being Injury-prone and Borini Out-of-favor, him and Lambert are the only Strikers we have Available.

And even if we did Buy a Striker in January, that will still only leave us at 3, if Sturridge is still Injured by then.

I think we're better off Keeping him, at least until Summer.

But we do have a Global support base that City, Chelsea and Bayern don't really have. It's a selling point...

Sounds a makey uppy word to me

Bayern have a fairly decent reach I'd imagine in the whole globality stakes.

Every word is a makey uppy but I hate whatabboutary.

Liverpool have been given a boost in their pursuit of Porto striker Jackson Martinez after the player's agent confirmed AC Milan have been priced out of a deal.

Martinez has been in brilliant form for Porto this season, scoring 14 goals in just 18 appearances in all competitions.

Since moving to Portugal in 2012, the 28-year-old has netted 74 times in 109 appearances and that has reportedly attracted the interest of several clubs in Europe.

Liverpool are thought to be keen on the Colombia international, while Arsenal also made tentative enquires last summer.

However, one club who are now out of the running are AC Milan after Martinez's agent Peppino Tirri revealed they cannot afford the striker.

"I think it's very difficult [for AC Milan]. Porto want the release clause to be paid (£28m) and they don't intend to budge," Tirri told Calcio News.

"I can confirm that Liverpool want the player."

28m is cheap for someone with his goalscoring record.

Agent Coulson · 05-12-2014 10:54PM

He's a bit like Arda we get linked to him every window.

Now if we had a spare £50m lying around I would myself go and buy Jackson and Arda.

But that's just me.

So annoying that before each of their last moves, we were heavily linked, but didn't pull the trigger - both would have been easily affordable at the respective times too.

Tirri isn't Martinez agent. He's just an agent Porto have used before.

Paging harry palmr

He travelled with the squad to Leicester as well. I'd love to see the likes of him make the bench but I don't think he will.

Harry Palmr · 05-12-2014 11:49PM

U 18s v Man Utd ends in shock 0-0 scoreline.

Its interesting how certain players are given a little bit of a boost by being included in the first team squad for a few games I reckon we will see Ojo for the League Cup tie (but on the bench)

Ya anothet article names his agent as Henrique Pompeu.

Don't see Liverpool shelling out a fee like that in January after what was spent last summer

Nothing to get moist about so:p

hefferboi · 06-12-2014 12:37AM

Looking at January, we need one prolific striker and one excellent, proven centre mid/defensive mid.

As far as strikers go, who's out there that we can afford, would come to us and would suit the way we play. Not a lot of names I can come up with, and even less who wouldn't be cup tied in the CL. Here's a list of all I can think of anyway.

Jackson Martinez, Milik, Doumbia, Luiz Adriano, Lacazette and Berahino.

All having superb seasons so far. Adriano and Doumbia are probably on ridiculous wages, though, Berahino would cost an arm and a leg and Milik hasn't proven himself as much as the rest. I'd be inclined to go for either Lacazette or Martinez in that instince.

Martinez has looked the real deal since moving to Porto and Lacazette is starting to show serious promise and a goalscoring threat this season. Its a tough one as Lacazette has youth on his side.

What do people think?

5starpool · 06-12-2014 12:42AM

I can't imagine us signing anyone for any type of significant money in January. Perhaps if we are right up there close to 4th we might as part of a push to keep us up there but even then I doubt it.
