Yep always wondered if Ozil had so many assists by giving Ronaldo a 5 yard square pass on the halfway line, who then beat 3 players and scored.

Still an assist?

All round good keeper - Vorm, would do it for me.

Striker (cant survive on two only). Bony would offer a different option and still scores goals. Remy if not.

LB - Cole for a season, whilst we invest elsewhere, or another top left back. Think Shaw may go elsewhere though, or cost too much (for us). Did he work with Rodgers when at Chelsea - it may be a factor.

Lallana or that type of attacking midfielder, (doubt we can afford Barkley or will come here being a boyhood blue).

Micah Richards/Caulker/Fonte.

Konyplanka or another out and out winger.

This season we have the worst bench in the top half, if not all of the premiership.

They may cost us £50-80 million, hopefully with a few sales, CL money and a bit more investment by the owners, we'll have this to spend.

We need to fill out the first 17 spaces with another 4-5 first class, proven players. The rest of the squad can be filled with loanees returning such as Suso, Wisdom, Ibe (watch him next season), Illori, Borini.

Maybe LFC and Soton should merge.......... make a great team.:thup:

What about Ashley Williams at Swansea. Knows how to play Rodgers style of football, comfortable on the ball, and wouldn't cost too much.

Saw Danny Ings playing for Burnley. Looks a top goal scorer, and their fans rate him above Rodriquez

it goes down as an assist but I thought I had heard of a key run/ pass stat. that would be much more revealing.

He only played 8 times for England, no goals. Unfortunately at International level you don't get time on the ball 35 yards out. Took a mean penalty though. Nearly a third of his goals for Soton were penalties. Trouble is he didn't fit into most teams. Wasn't a striker that got into the box, and scored from close range. Wasn't a winger that tracked back, and tackled. Even at Soton he got left out, especially when playing away.

Nothing wrong with loyalty to one club, especially to that clubs supporters. Just about every other supporter would have liked to see him go to a top 4 team, to see if he could turn it on in big games, Europe etc. We will never know. As I said before some players suit being a big fish in a small pond, and Le Tissier in my opinion was one of them.

I agree that he preferred being the main man, and so maybe he didn't have the personality of top "team" player. I think when you bang in countless penatlies and save a team from countless relegations that proves he had the skill and bottle for it.

He was never really a striker at saints. Played in the whole and did damage from their. He was only really left out away towards end of career, but like you say we'll never know. But you'll be hard pushed to find a saints fan who wouldnt take him over many others. I still youtube his top 100 goals, not sure anyone else has that many to their name.

Yes, Williams is good, but we need more dominance in the air.

Lots of goals we give away are from set-pieces. Weirdly enough we've scored most from them at the other end. Does that mean we're good in the air or bad then? Or is it all about delivery? Stats, eh?;)

They can merege a few times a year for intl games lol

I think bony is a good shout, but how much will he be? 14m to swansea wasn't it and had a very good season. Think he could be pricey. Benteke was quoted at 40m last year and look at this season.

Hands off fonte too! More likely lovren to leave for 15m or so.

I think Richards is a good shout, proven and versatile. Still think he's treated badly at city.
 
Sounds like the Fulham clear out is imminent. Stecklenburg is off allegedly and a keeper with CL experience should get a few PL clubs sniffing. I know Arsenal were keen on Hangeland but after the season he's had I reckon his stock has gone down.

Disagree. I thought Torres would struggle at Anfield. Shows what I know. I think with Chelski it will come down to the level of service he gets and the way they play. If they play like the CL performances and he gets isolated up front then he'll definitely struggle. Get some pace and play in a way City and Liverpool have, and Man Utd use to pre-Moyes and I reckon he'll be a great asset. Depends entirely on Mourinho and the way he wants to play

I dunno, maybe he has good defensive qualities.:whoo:
 
I can't get excited about transfer Windows. We have about 142 millions in the bank, and will be linked with hundreds of players, and then buy a French 16 year old who is a midget, and always injured. There will be no value in the market place, yet again.

If we do buy anyone, Wenger will break them inside Christmas. So what's the point?
 
Does anyone think there will be much activity prior to the World Cup? I reckon most of the big deals will be done when it's over.

Some clubs might fancy trying to get some business pre world cup. Take someone like Lallana who a fwe clubs are looking at, if he has a good world cup then it could add a substancial amount to his value. The other problem is that a lot of players will still be there until mid July, then they will have a couple of weeks off to go on holiday. That will make it difficult to liase with players regarding moving and working out contract details.
