If I may answer

Lallana - he is talented and is very good on the ball - price tag is too high by a good £15mil and think he will fit in nicely

Lambert - cheap back up who loves the club - will give us an option

Markovic - highly thought of very paced winger with great skill - he could be a brilliant signing

Origi - young and raw and going back to Lille on loan but in patches looked very good

By all means you may.

Markovic aside, the others (and the Swansea left back) are not going to make a difference in a title winning/ CL campaign in my opinion.

Shame you couldn't get Sanchez, blinding player and the calibre I'd be looking for as a Liverpool fan. (Btw, I am not anti or pro any English team, other than Leyton orient!!)

Yes Sanchez would have been a cracking signing but he was always going to go to London - we tried.

At the moment we have bolstered the squad so I agree we haven't improved that much since last season - just made us more capable of playing more games - need one or two top quality signings.

Only Sturridge is his one signing that has worked

Long list of signings that have disappointed - but where they signed by this committee ?

Certainly lots better have been scouted.

Got £75mil burning in his pocket ( even after the Markovic and Origi deals ) - would like to see one top class player and two potential youngsters signed with it

Who says he will get all that to spend?

The signings so far Stu, what's your take?

I'd be a little worried that you are buying/targeting players from Southampton/Swansea (with all due respect to those sides) to take you to the next level?

Honestly, I'm worried.

We need world class proven players rather than potential or one season wonders.

Quality wise we're 5 or 6 Top players away from having a squad you could compare with Arsenal,City Chelsea etc.

Potentially we'd need to spend 130-150m on players to get back level.

Lallana- A very good player at Southampton but inexperienced at CL level and at £25m I'm not too sure. If he struggles to settle the press and "some" fans will be right on his back.

Can - I don't know enough about him to be honest so i'll keep my opinion until i've seen enough.

Lambert - I was amazed we'd signed a 32yr old striker and i can't see where he fits into Rodgers "style". That said it'll be nice to see a scouser wearing #9 than Aspas!!

There's no point in getting CL football and going into the comp with a squad full of young potential.

Coutinho??

Markovic is a very good player but i don't see the point in buying Origi if he's not ready to go straight into the side and score goals.

Pretty much my view aswell. Aspas, forgot he even existed! he still at Liverpool?!

Any chat about a forward "replacement" for Suarez? Not that you can replace him but guess you'll be after a striker?

He has been too in and out so far but certainly one of the more positive

Origi is one of those players that if his potential keeps improving will be worth double the £10mil we are spend - so you get him before that , he will get another season under his belt and polish a bit of the rawness away.

The "rumours" are Bony or Remy but straight away any of those two are not good enough.

We need a 30 goals a season striker and those 2 are not that.

Aspas is still there and to be honest he's an embarrassment.

Arsenal were in that position hence the new stadium and now they can , dont talk about city or chelsea , they got owners with deep pockets and willing to chuck it around but even chelsea sold a few before spending , years ago they just bought everything , FFP has change things a bit , to keep up you need a bigger stadium , liverpool , everton, spurs Aston villa , all need to do it but know if they do they will not complete for years , arsenal did but never won anything because wen they needed to spend they could not , those that know business can see what a great job Wenger did at Arsenal and now i hope he gets the chance to make those that rubbish him eat their words , why , because he has earn that right

I wouldn't count out Remy. Looks a good player & he wouldn't cost too much.

With the funds available I think Rogers and Liverpool have to be looking to strike a balance. They need younger blood but they'll need experience to especially for the CL or they'll get found out very quickly. Nothing wrong with a buying someone a little bit older that's been around the block a bit to help the more inexperienced players.

What are your thoughts on Borini? I honestly thought he looked decent last season.
Click to expand...

When we signed him i wasn't too impressed tbh but after watching him he looked like he's got lots of quality and can finish.
In his 1st season he was out injured for a few months which didn't help.

I was amazed that Rodgers sent him out on loan last seson and bought Aspas instead, still can't understand the reasoning behind it:confused::confused:

Borini was his 1st signing and he made a point of buying him.

I'd rather keep him and bomb Aspas out.

Remy wouldn't be too bad an option to bring into the squad

Borini isn't good enough - nowhere near good enough.

Sunderland looking to bid £8mil for him - snap their hands off
