The clue is in the title! I get fed up with reading Tiger Woods threads, but I do not go not them to tell everyone I am, I just use my brain and avoid them. Not too difficult is it..........
Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

We are being ripped apart!
Lambert, Lallana, Shaw, Lovren and Schneiderling all heading out the door. All the official talk is that the money will go back into new signings but they take time to gel. I was hoping that after last season we would push onwards and upwards but we could very well get drawn into a relegation battle
Have faith, in targett, clyne and chambers fullbacks are fine. I see a midfield 3 of cork/Davis/wanyama. Front 3 of j rod, prowse and Ramirez is still a lot better than we have had in the past. Cb and new keeper needed for first team then if rumours are true. Close tom£100m of replacements on top!

Oh, the irony.
The obsession thing again
Maybe look at the reason/person as to why Liverpool get discussed so much.
It's no coincidence that they get talked about more than utd/Chelsea/arsenal/City.....
& no there's no vendetta towards Liverpool.
Oh, the irony (2) - The vendetta returneth.

Lallana has completed his transfer to us
Maybe a bit pricey but think he can really flourish in our team and system - great step up to the next level for him

Can't make my mind up about this. Assuming Suarez stays, and he plays alongside Sterling and Sturridge this seems an awful lot to fork out for a regular bench warmer. Can't see him forcing himself into the starting line up on the basis of those three and in the CL chances are you'll play one or two up front and put more in midfield especially away, and that's going to limit chances even more.
I wonder if this signing is an early replacement at a cheaper price if and when Suarez goes. At that time, clubs will obviously add a few more million onto any price so it might be a good move. Of course if he doesn't (I still think he will though) its a lot for a super sub

It's no longer an 11 man game - there are lots of games to be played throughout the season and teams need big squads - starting line ups are never the same 11 - Lallana will start his fair share of games and will be more than a super sub - regardless of if Suarez stays and when we add more reinforcements to the team.
Lallana can play either wide or behind a front player and even I suspect in the midfield.
Sorry. Forgot that all things Liverpool are gospel according to you. I'm sorry but I disagree. Lallana is far more effective as a striker and think his England showing has proved that. With the current line up he won't get too many starts and even less when Rogers has to pick more conservative sides in away CL games. It's an opinion! I think Sterling and Sturridge will be the wide players with Suarez through the middle like last season. He may get a game replacing one of the wider men but IN MY OPINION, that isn't playing to his strengths

I think he may play left centre in a 4-3-3, or even if in a diamond four, as Rodgers used a lot towards the end of last season. Lallana seems adaptable.
Homer, we only had 13 good players last season and no Europe. If you want to challenge City, Chelsea, United, Arsenal and compete in the CL, you need 18-20 good players, and a few decent youngsters coming through for use in the FA and Carling early rounds.
On the plus side if Suarez goes and he does play up front I think he will be an asset and I like Liverpool's statement of intent. Good that they have depth as City United and Chelsea have shown in recent years

I'm still concerned that Liverpool haven't made any significant signings in defence.
This was, arguably, the only part of the 11 that let them down over last season.

Good addition, if expensive, for the premier league.
Having watched him for England recently I'm not sure he's quite at the level to make a difference in the CL but could be wrong, not seen much if him before.
Liverpool will be lucky to have as few injuries as they had last year so need players everywhere, defenders more required for the team than anywhere else I'd say.

Re: BIB. What's with all the drama? I didn't see anything in the post you responded to justify you getting on your soapbox. Stop being a big girls blouse! It's not the first time you've overreacted to a nothing post from Phil.
BTW for the Liverpool fans, I have to agree with a couple of the other comments above, when are you going to buy some defenders?
Maybe right, although I think Liverpool could sign any defender in the world and that aspect if their game won't improve as Rodgers doesn't respect the defensive side of the game IMOIMO

No idea where that reaction comes from but the Southampton lads will also tell you - Lallana is not a striker. You may have that opinion but he didn't play as striker for Southampton and he didn't play as a striker for England - he played either in a wide forward role or supporting from behind.

I'm not overly concerned TBH.... I saw yesterday that Enrique is back in training, Skrtel and Agger in the middle with Johnson at right back....I know Johnson gets slaughtered by many but personally I don't agree.
For me I think we have the right personnel....but I think something is obviously lacking in training rather than them being bad defenders. I'd be happier to see a new defensive coach employed rather than making the squad bigger. After all we have flannagan, Kelly, Kolo, robinson etc all waiting in the wings.

Defenders, DEFENDERS - We don't need them, defenders are for weak managers.
Anyway, we only need two in our 2,3,5 formation!

Trouble with that is :-
Agger has chocolate legs.
Johnson has a faulty sat nav.
Kolo Toure is an absolute mule of a defender.
Skrtel is aggressive in the fact he wants everybody's shirt but he doesn't seem to be much of a leader or consistent.
I think just changing personnel to better players would have saved a fair few goals last season imo.

What are you saying about Kolo?
