Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

Lovren about to arrive for £20mil - appears there will be three more arrivals ( after Remy ) a left , right back ( young Spanish guy ) and a centre mid - rumours of a bid for Vidal and Shaqiri is still hanging around

Could be embarrassing if they turn you over in the 1st game of the season after you've taken their best players.

Thankfully that deal has fell through, i wonder whose next on Rodgers list?

I certainly hope it's a Quality striker and not another "potential" signing.

Some of these rumours of players we're "in for" sounds a bit Everton like to me, remember Everton threw a bid in for Alan Smith when he was leaving Leeds for United.

They were never going to sign him but they let the fans know they were in for and their was finances in place for a signing....

Appears injury has stopped thw signing - shame as he would have scored goals for us
 
yup failed medical. Also heard the Shaqiri one. I reckon we are ok in midfield, just up top/defence needs strengthening.

Not far off a decent squad bar losing suarez.

Think we need a creator in the middle -someone to provide that something extra - think Shaqiri would be a great signing
 
I'd say upto now it's quantity rather than quality, a left back and a top striker is a must.
 
As with last year a lot of the strength will be in the teamwork , the tactics and work ethic - do need a little extra something in the squad but not too worried at the moment

See Torres is getting sharper

Back four would be my worry. I think midfield and forward line has enough about it although I still think the loss of Suarez and the goals he cored and created will be your biggest problem. I think there was a vulnerability at the back that got highlighted in the final weeks of the season and which will be apparent quickly in the CL without a decent signing or two

Just spent £20mil on a CB with a LB and RB in the pipeline to arrive

I agree 100% regards Suarez but defensively I'm no too sure they're as bad as most think.

Because we play so aggressively going forward we do leave ourselves open to attack and that was the majority of what we conceded last year not just the last few games. Also, our defenders are expected to play football and a few times it was a few silly individual errors that cost us.

Who out of all the CB's we've got do you see as the best pairing and which CB do you think can organise and take responsibility?

I see no one.

Spending £20m on Lovren will not be the answer to all our defensive issues.

Stuart

You may be right and clearly have a great understanding of your team. However I wonder how much the PL will have learned from your style and can't see how you'd play that way in the CL where a more measured approach may be needed. Every side makes defensive errors (Fulham made it an art form last year) but I think you lack a real leader at the back like an Adams or Bruce. Carragher was the man but now he's gone it seems to be missing a leader

That was worse than Ronnie Rosenthal's that:rofl:

On a side note its actually sad to see what he's turned into since wearing that shirt.

Think we will see a mix throughout the season but wouldn't be surprised to see Lovren and Agger start and those two certainly very vocal and organised but can also see both Sahko and Skittles having plenty of time on the pitch - the tactics will leave us exposed at times and a lot of responsibility will be down to players like Can , Henderson and Allen to fill the gaps ( especially when the fullbacks go forward )

BR will find the balance and will work out the strengths - we will sacrifice a bit at the back at times
