"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!

"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. "
Luis7Sturridge15
27th Dec 2012 16:46
"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. "
Luis7Sturridge15
27th Dec 2012 16:48
"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. "
OldVic
27th Dec 2012 16:50
"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."
OldVic
27th Dec 2012 17:07
"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."

""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."

"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."
Quens
27th Dec 2012 18:37
"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."

"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."
