"Now this is news! I really hope we get him. Yes we need a goalscorer, but we also need some depth in quality in the middle of the park. Tonight showed that. 2/3 of the players were really not up to the task in the middle. Get Sahin and hopefully a goalscorer and it'll have been a decent window given the budget we've had."

"Yes. Adam out and Spearing on loan. I don't want to sound harsh, but I don't think Adam will be anything other than a decent squad player. Creativity is what we need plus someone on the end of things. I actually think we are playing ok and can see the philosophy taking shape. We need time folk.........and dare I say it, but someone like Owen."

In gerrard place?lucas?rodgers 19millions friend Allen?or average hendo,Adam on the bench ? We need a attacking player who could beats defenders score and create chances"

Send them Spearing and Henderson, but please just sell Adam he's starting to annoy me. He just hasn't brought his Blackpool form with him.

"Dempsey would be ideal for a couple of years at least until we get back into CL and can attract really big name strikers.Keep Carroll. Midfield needs a major clearout and we should be grooming Stevie G's replacement from now as this will take at least a couple of years. I still think he has two to three years at his best at the most.YNWA"
LucasDaWarrior1
23rd Aug 2012 22:57
"LFC1958- I agree Dempsey is the type of player that'll do well for us until are long-term objectives are met. For any player to get 23 goals for a club like Fulham must be somewhat decent..and lets be honest he's probably more of a goal-threat compared to any players we have atm."

"If Sahin and Dempsey sign I reckon this looks tasty; Reina - Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Kelly - Allen, Gerrard, Sahin - Suarez, Dempsey, Assaidi. With Coates, Enrique, Lucas, Shelvey, Suso, Sterling & Borini on the bench. No second goalie but we could just put Dempsey in - a tough, experienced, above average player who takes no sh*t!"

I say Nuri is a good option and coming on loan is even better. All we need now is a striker. sahin second position is defensive midfielder and can also play on the left... that gives backup for gerard and lucas."

AND WAS BORT IN AT MADRID TO RIVAL XABI WHICH IS WHY HE HAD NO CHANCE AT MADRID. PLS IT IS IMPORTANT YOU 1ST STUDY AND KNOW YOUR FOOTBALL BEFORE YOU START COMMENTING AND POSTING STARTING 11s "

"Ani-road (3). Totally agree. As each season passes we seem to be accepting more and more mediocrity. However, Allen looks a good player to me. It's the stark reality that the shocking mismanagement of our club from 2007 til now has resulted in our fall. You are right though the non Liverpool persons don't even see us as a threat anymore."

"I SAID IT BEFORE WHEN WE SIGNED ALLEN THAT IT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE AND A WASTE OF FUNDS, CONSIDRING WE HAVE A FEW SIMILAR MIDS. 15MIL COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SPENT ON A SKILLFULL ATT MID (G RAMIREZ), A WINGER (A jOHNSON) OR A STRICKER INSTEAD."
American Scouser
24th Aug 2012 6:39
"AND NOW THAT SAHIN IS RUMOURED TO BE COMING IN, THE ALLEN SIGNING IS MORE AND MORE A MISTAKE COZ THERS NO WAY ALLEN CAN START AHEAD OF LUCAS, SAHIN AND GERRARD IF RODGERS IS SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING US SOMEWHERE N PLAYING THE BEST PLAYERS ... AND A 15MILL SIGNING SITTING ON THE BENCH IS TOO MUCH MONEY"
American Scouser
24th Aug 2012 6:41
"WE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OF BUYING RAMIREZ (CHEAPER) OR A JOHNSON (CHEAPER) WITH THE ALLEN MONEY AS BOTH CAN PLAY ATT MID AND WING."

"WELL RODGERS HAS MADE HIS DECISIONS NOW AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO AND WILL WITH SO MANY HOLDING MIDS (GOD I HOPE HES NOT DUM ENOUGH TO BENCH LUCAS, SAHIN OR GERRARD FOR ALLEN) ... HIM AND HIS FANS TALK ABOUT THE BARCA WAY TIKA TAKA, BUT THE LAST HIM I SAW BARCA PLAY (WHICH WAS 9HRS AGO AGAINST MADRID), THEY HAD WINGERS SANCHEZ ON THE RIGHT AND PEDRO ON THE LEFT"
American Scouser
24th Aug 2012 6:42

"South African scouser - ramirez is completely overrated, anyone looks like they have blistering pace and skills on you tube, but in reality... Why do you think lfc, inter, city and United have looked elsewhere. Johnson would be good, I hear that we've enquired..As for Allan, 106mins,100passes,96completed,at 22,gonna make us tick. Sahin in his youth played as n attacking midfielder... "
redace85
24th Aug 2012 6:54
"Cont...So a mid of Allen, lucas, sahin would be young dynamic, fit, and with a high pass completion rate. I fully expect an inter changing front 3of suarez, borini , Gerrard... Tiki taka is all about multi positional play awareness and dynamics. Rodgers has been a student of the game for 20+years so give him time to shape his masterpiece. "

"He's quite a good footballer alright but: 1. One we could have signed last year for six million in stead of spending 9 million on Allen; 2. One who plays in the same position as Lucas and Allen 3. One who will expect to be playing 4. One who is moving here against his will Expect trouble."

Annoying that LFC is apparently on the verge of having to beg for players to come. Cuz that's the case despite the rhetoric about pedigree and history. "
