"We need at least one top notch signing, not an existing young prospect, the owners have got to be willing to splash some cash for proven players or we will get nowhere"
"Buy good players and with 40m in the summer we can finish top 3..8m-dries mertens..5m+carroll-hatem Ben arfa.7m-Gary Hooper..10m-isco..llorente for free...8m-iturbe and deulofeu.."
"I knew it, Sturridge £12m, Ince £5m, Butland £5m and hopefully but not so sure De Vrij/Mirin for the back! Not the overhaul which any LFC supporter would have hoped for after this problematic first half of the season!"
"Man Utd. buy one player Van Persie and what a difference he makes, £25 million well spent i think, we want to spend £5 million/£15 million on two players, will they make a difference? or will it be just more average mid table fodder,we are told it's a gamble,are we so poor we gamble with our status? i'll give it 6 months, then we shall see! "
"King kenny and steve slarke were doin a much better job during their reign. BR cannot manage LFC, we beat stoke away wiv kenny and suarez came on to score his debut goal"
"Same Old, Same Old.
we'll sign someone Cheap but ineffective
PLEASE FSG out and take that Muppet with ya
This is LIVERPOOL we expect alot more,
And by the way when you go FSG dont sell to any Yanks!"
"This club has a terrible record in the last few years in the transfer market, buying mediocrity for inflated prices and missing out on good buys and it doesn't look as if anything is going to change soon. Man U. got Van Persie for not a lot more than LFC paid for Henderson and Downing. They could have had Sturridge thrown in for peanuts + cash for Torres but prefered to pay £35M for Carol. "
"Most of you will have egg on your faces. Sturridge and Ince are both attacking minded players which will add to the very few we have in the squad. Remember, it only takes 3 wins in a row for us to be in the top 5 and we can take it from there. I expect a strong finish if these 2 players are signed. "
"Sturridge is better than Carroll and Ince is better than Downing. Looking forward to a much better attacking lineup with the three "S's" up front and Gerrard just behind. The bench will also look better with Ince, Assaidi, Suso and Borini. "
"Ba is available for £7m and is a much better striker than Sturridge and has less of an ego problem. I believe Defoe was available in the summer, what a signing he would have been. How come LFC never find the Michu's of this world? LFC just don't seem to have the scouting team they need."
"LFC buy other clubs "services not required" players at inflated prices but can not find the undiscovered talent other clubs seem to find. I bet there are plenty of briiant "undiscovered"
players in the lower divisions or on the continent which other clubs find but we don't. The only descent signing we've had in the last 5 years is Suarez, and if it wasn't for him we'd be facing relegation."
"grt again no money i thought the yanks wanted to make us grt this day and age u have to spend to keep up with the big boys we will never do that what r we playing out win a game lose a game is not the liverpool way i am losing my head"
"OldVic - What about Sterling? Johnson? Add to that Assaidi for under 3M. All of these were great signings. BR is a fool though for not having Assaidi even on the bench. "
""If its not the right availability" .....what does that mean. I don't speak BR. If finances are not an issue and the player is available and wants to come if required, then why not get him. Please stop pussy-footing around. Sell Cole/loan Shelvy, Suso, Morgan, Asaidi, Yessell.
Send Carrol back to NC and please buy Ba...got pace, height and nothing to prove
YNWA-JFT96"
"Lets get this right.....Ince is NOT a PL player as yet. He will come along as another part of the building block ....."for the future". The Yanks have made the intentions very clear. THEY WON'T BURN THEIR FINGERS AGAIN......meaning they won't spend big again. They are prepared to give BR time to build just like Fergie did all those years ago. This is supposed to make us understand...yeh right."
"Here we go again, never mind the quality, feel the width. We need quality, quality player or players, not more of the. Same.Oh Kenny, what fools they were to get rid of you so quickly."
"Come on guys stop being negative. AC was bought in January when prices are inflated. Lets not make that mistake again. Sturridge and ince will add much needed attacking options. BR needs time to build his team and play his way. Come the summer I believe we,ll get more players and sell a few. Until we get cl we won't attract the big names unless we pay stupid money. FSG are not going to do that."
"If we really want to build, then we should buy 1 or 2 good players between 20-30 pounds in each transfer. That's what Barcalona did. It does not help we do what QPR did. They bought a new team with average players, now they are at the bottom."
"There are reports that MU is getting Lewandoski-is there some reason we can't get someone of that quality? Yes I know they would require increased wages to get them here, but the payoff in Cl money should oet the outlay. "
"Sell off Joe Cole and Andy Carroll who are big money wasters! From the money gained buy at least one very good striker! Our club will remain as it is right now if we are not given serious transfer money to spend! YNWA!"
"Oh dear hear we are again the budget wont allow it but it seems we are about to spend 12 million on a player who cant get anywhere near the first team at Chelsea this on top of the waste of 8 million payed for Borrini makes me sick all we are asking for are quality players not second string cast o and Joe Allen was also monet wasted as he is not strong enough."
"Have said it before,i dont blame BR,I blame FSG.Why did they buy us,if they did not intend to provide enough money to compete? We wont go forward until these useless yanks are hounded out off our great club.no ambition."
"LUIS79 well said but think assaidi coming back from knee injury. dont know why we are not being told. 3pts against QPR is a must to end year with a win and then kick on in 2013. i believe and support B.R and LFC. YNWA & J4T96"
"Been a fan from 1970 and never before have I seen this great club looking bad and performing so poor, for the SSturridge money we could have had Ba with cash left over,, God help us if Pepe goes,,, Still love the club, the best in the world,,,,YNWA"
""I won't spend money just for the sake of it". I hope you'll keep your word Brendan. But somehow I am not convinced - look like we are going to sign to make up the numbers (high wages as usual) while I would prefer real quality or nothing."
"its not br s fault he got the job .even the f times said fsg had a big sports portfollio and would be fit and proper owners . they have made it clear time and time again they have not got a clue .have they even put tendirs out for the work to redevelop anfield"
"Technical commitee please think twice before you write because you seem you like Dalglish transfer policy as for Steve Clarke yes he is a good coach and I wish the owners did convince him to stay at the club in some capacities."
"give over no top player is going to join us, we are mediocre at the moment with no Champions league. Ince im not sure but Sturridge definatley, loads of pace and strength and knows where the gosl is, has a good record as a winger for Chelski"
"sturridge and ince would be great additions to the team in my opinion. the onlypeople to get sacked are the so called footballers not being funny but its the players kicking the ball around not br. we need players who are willing to perform not money hunters like RVP . BR keep it up i know we are going in the right direction!"
"Summer what a plonker by the summer we could be out of the prem with a idiot like this and crap player were going down the pan very fast he's a grat big joke like the owners "
"Top ten is okay this season as we're in transition. But firepower is needed up front, and in the summer BR really needs to sort out our midfield. £15 mill for Joe Allen looks a joke now!"
"Why are people giving br a hard time he's not long in and he has done a great job with the squad he has been given,this team will only get better in time. Liverpool fans used to be known as the best supporters around where are they now?"
"'Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says supporters should not expect a major influx of new faces during the January transfer window'...which is good as I don't expect anything really from Rodgers. His track record so far is a 'missing' Borini and a struggling Allen!"
"Just give BR some time. If we keep change manager, thing will be more worse. Every time we change a manager, its will be more worse. New manager, new player. Just take lesson what happen to us before.
We just hope and pray that's BR will be more creative in positioning a player. get rid few rubish player like cole, downing, henderson, and carol."
"It would be better not not to sign anyone than waste more money on another two players that wont fit in.Rodgers signings have been terrible so far.The club is going backwards, the management needs to be changed.Transfer Ayre and Rodgers! "
"So we've only £27m to spend. Imagine what teams like Stoke or West Brom would do with that amount.
David Moyes would be over the moon with half that amount. We never seem to buy the right players, and BR's record is terrible with Allen and co."
"INCE nad STURRIDGE is not bad signings, i think sturridge will get us goals, and dont forget walcott still hasnt signed a contract and he is a option also there are talks that david villa is set to leave barcelona, why not put a bid in for him?"
"BR never gave Andy a chance, and the chances are we will sell him to a manager like Harry who knows how to get the best out of his players and introduces a style of play to suit the players he has. I dont expect the QPR gaame to be an easy 3 points"
"Top players are never available in January, so wise not to panic buy, gamble and waste money, were not going to win anything this season so use it to have a good look at the squad and get and see where we are week and get the signings we need in early for next season!"
"Liverpool will continued to struggle as long as we failed to spent some cash. What can Sturidge and Ince do to uplift Liverpool night mare? Are these two players the solution right now? i don't think so. BR and John Henry are still joking around here."
"said it b4 and i'll say it again, some fans on here are mentally drained. We are a team in the making with limited funds available, y can't u just accept the fact that there is no quick fix. Leave your negative opinions elsewhere. "
"I am still hopefull that we can sign a few BIG names. Whether we do or not is another thing, however, all those saying we cannot now attract big names, let me remind you again for the umpteenth time. West Ham signed Tevez and Masch and couldnt offer them anything more than league footy. Lets hope. YNWA.""
"So there is a limited budget. More reason then to pay 12m for a player no-one else will touch. He is worth 6m at the very most. No better than sterling, suso, downing and is only going to play out wide. Rogers signings like this is what have made this club an overpaid joke."
"On paper our squad is pretty strong, but BR just does not seem to inspire the players. Instead of shippimg out half the teamhe should havemoulded his tactics to suit what was available.
Carrol, Downing and Hendo were damn good players at their previous clubs. Get Andyy back when he is fit and PLAY him "
"Dont need to buy, our season have a lot of downs than ups...play the reserves, give them a chance to prove their worth this second half of the season...since we are so tight on the money..might as well sell rather than buy..."
