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

Forget Sanchez, he can't make his mind up and has made it clear he prefers Arsenal over Liverpool. I do not want him if the only way we can get him is by putting a big pay cheque in his pocket. To me Sanchez is saying to Liverpool to make him a stupid offer he can't refuse, or he will go to Arsenal.

For what he will probably cost we could use that money towards getting Markovic, Lovren and Shaqiri, so would prefer those 3 because at least they are showing an interest in wanting to come to Anfield. I would imagine those 3 combined would be around the £60m mark, I can see Sanchez costing around £40m on his own.

I wouldn't be so confident about that if I was you. Suarez is a loss, but Lallana, Can, lambert, Lovren, possibly Huntelaar, Shaqiri and something in the region of £40m left to spend says that Liverpool are going to be a better all round team with more options next year IMO.

People last said last year that they needed to improve the defence and strengthen the squad with more options and they are going to do that. Untied need to replace most of their team and arsenal need so decent investment so I think Liverpool are still ahead of them at the minute. All Chelsea have done is purchased a striker, lost a LB and sold a CB, so not too sure if they are looking stronger as it stands.

Arsenal maybe your competition, but Chelsea have sold a lb they hardly played and cb who gets trashed on here. Hardly a loss. If costa scores 30 goals next season they win the league. That's what they missed last season.

Thats a big if - he has only managed that once in his career - is Costa a one season wonder or the real deal ?

Watching him i cant see him scoring 20 in the prem

I'm not saying he can't, but if he doesn't, then are Chelsea putting all there eggs in one basket? He wouldn't be the first striker to come from Spain and misfire in the EPL. What about these 2....

Negredo - 25 in 36 in his last Spanish season, then gets 9 in 32 over here. So he went from 1 every 1.4 games to 1 every 3.6 games.
Saldado - 24 in 35 in his last Spanish season, then gets 6 in 28 over here. So he went from 1 every 1.5 games to 1 every 4.6 games.

So both players where prolific goal scores in Spain before moving here, so you can't rely on Costa coming and tearing up the goal scoring record charts. But on the other hand Torres and Aguero were instant successes after coming here so who knows.

But, Lambert aside, thats the only reason any other player you sign or have signed are there. do you really believe if Man U or Chelsea had come in with a better offer for Lallana he would have taken less money to go to you? They're all mercenaries.

He may well be, although not all players are prolific whole careers. Same could be said for sturridge after one great season, or Rodriguez for saints improving dramatically one season.

Have you only watched him for Spain, or couple a handful of la liga games as he's been superb there. There are no guarantees especially with Chelsea strikers. But I still fancy Chelsea to be top 2. Top if he fires.

yeah there'll be examples both ways.

Re eggs in one basket, if they'd gone the city route and bought for 30m strikers they'd of been slaughtered for it.
Pas I said if he fires they'll win league IMO, if he flops I still reckon second as I don't think UTD will increase enough to challenge arsenal and Liverpool for fourth. Liverpool may well be buying well, but atm it has a look of spurs to it. Sell a star for £70-£80m then replace with lots of good potential but if you don't as looks likely get Sanchez, where's the star player that all teams have?

I believe you are possibly mistaken - believe he has offers from three clubs including Arsenal - Juve and Liverpool the other two.

Fees agreed with Liverpool and Arsenal but no talks yet as Sanchez waiting for Juve - believe Juve would be favourites and we are dark horses.

So what makes you believe he is an Arsenal player right now

I don't the right people have been saying the right things he along with 2 further signings will be announced on the 10th we will see who is correct


Do Liverpool remind anyone of Spurs last season. Just saying.

I said the same lol. I think they're in a better position than spurs as they're not so much a one man team although he was still key. I also think they have a football style where people will fit into it easier, but Lovren aside it does seem they're chasing a lot of similar style players. But they do need to add to squad as they're thin on the bench.

We will get Sanchez for more or less the same as you paid for lallana

Wasn't that £25 million I heard quoted? And hasn't Sanchez been quoted so far as being sold for approx £40million? My figures must be out I assume, as that isn't anywhere near "the same". And bear in mind Lallanas price was inflated by 33% due to the clause payable to Bournemouth (thanks liverpool!)
 
Rumours are the Ashely Cole is to sign a £1.8m a year two year deal at Roma. Can't belive Liverpool not gone in for him, those wages are peanuts in today's market.

And how much did carrol cost? All clubs overspend at sime point so referencing one signing to prove an apparent point is mute imo.

Although just seen Freddies response. Ozil worth £80M? On what planet?

Özil has suffered last season and the world cup from a lack of pace and quality in the forwards ahead of him he still has the most completed passes in the final third and is involved more than any other player.

I wouldn't swap him for anyone.
