foofighter23 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 i think 18 points is a realistic goal atm for them 10 games and that will put us on 30 points, 3 ahead of what man u are right now. thats ****ing diabolical tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just-Wool Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 We are being done a favour by the fact 4th place is wide open this year and no one seems to be throwing a good run for it. Hopefully we can stay in touch through December and sign a couple of players in January. Then with any luck, kicking on from there might end up being a productive season.

Rafalution Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 i'd say Everton are making a very decent run at it, but their squad is also pretty small, so hopefully they'll mess up somewhere along the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Not denying that, but they are playing soo bad at the moment.

Falahk Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 it is improbable that a jan window panic signing will salvage this season for liverpool, even if someone arrive I dont think it will help the team finish much better then 7th or 8th anyway.......it might even be better to wait for the summer, do some proper scouting and make sure you get the player you need, while giving the youngsters a proper chance until then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalution Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 just because you desperatly need someone in a certain position doesn't mean whoever you get is a panic signing, and no idea why you think signing someone in jan doesn't mean they haven't been scouted and aren't who you want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually feel a bit sorry for Carroll the way Rodgers has just condemned him with out even giving him a chance.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 What about desperately needing somebody, but putting the research and effort into ensuring that you get precisely the right player? By January, Rogers will have had 4 full months to plan his transfer dealings, so there shouldn't be any hint of panic at all, unless the players he wants aren't available at the prices he wants, in which case he may have to go down his list a little. Either way, it's hardly panic buying. Unless he buys Bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluedave Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 A few years ago I'd be understanding of Liverpool fans scoffing at the thought of signing Bent. But where you are now, he wouldn't be that bad of signing. Seemingly not wanted by Villa, suspect they'd want him off their wage bill, potential to strike a decent deal with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 He's a good player, no doubt, but I don't think he fits into our intended system of play at all. We really wouldn't use his strengths at all, and he'd be another big money flop. Used correctly, then of course he's good enough, but it would be too much to the expense of other players in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Select_screen_name: Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I wouldnt be concerned about that. We make enough chances from outwide. All we need is someone to finish chances. He has great positional sense and Suarez outwide would pull defenders in to uncomfortable positions; creating more space for Bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherlover Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 They also need to hold on to Fellaini in Jan.

It's the Liverpool transfer law that we can't even consider transfer targets until 3pm on transfer deadline day. To be fair things have got better, at least our MD doesn't decide to go on holiday during the transfer window and turn his phone off... that's progression.
