Kenco Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 BBC reporting that he has a slight groin strain. Not that his participation in the game would prevent him from playing in the group stages with a different team anyway but perhaps it's an excuse for him to stay behind and discuss terms with another club?

Divinity Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Honestly not fussed if we only sign another one. Think Rodgers will improve the side enough for there to be a visible progression, then we can replace through attrition with 2-3 players a summer. I'd be more happy to see one or two leave. I've come around on Dempsey a fair bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulliner Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The key on Dempsey is definitely the price - if we got him for 5-7m I'd be happy, 8-10m not happy at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yeah £7m or so plus Dempsey I would accept that but not a chance I would sell him at over half the price from what we signed him for a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divinity Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'd do a straight swap. We're going to be taking a loss on him anyway, so the timing of when it occurs makes little difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jep Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 7mill for Dempsey - very good business, good player. 8mill for Dempsey - ridiculous price, overpaid again, not good enough.

SRL88 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We should give some of the youngsters a chance tomorrow.

cyclonus1010 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Looks like Suarez and Coates are coming home early at least. Not exactly covering themselves in glory though are they? Coates been very shaky and that was a bad tackle on Cleverley. Suarez makes me wonder how many chances he needed to score those 49 goals for Ajax. I'm guessing around 250. £8m for Dempsey is a bargain IMO and think he would offer a lot more than some of the current midfielders there £8m for a 29yr old in the last year of his contract??

benkeat Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I don't think Sterling is going to Spurs because a. There's no evidence that Spurs want him, b. He's closer to our first team than he would be theirs and c. We don't want to sell him and I doubt Spurs would want to pay so much money for a child. Brett is coming from the angle that Spurs can take Liverpool players/sign players over us. Might be true at this moment in time so happy to sit back and let him enjoy the feeling.

Well yes some of it is true, and he recieved torrents of abuse originally and because he was on another level to most people in the reserves but still not being recognsied it began to frustrate him . His whole family also moved from NW London up to Kirby so that in itself shows he is staying. He realizes that if he focuses on the football and clean up off the field problems at Liverpool he can be a legend there. Surprising that because when he was at QPR he was knuckled down and I never thought he would allow anything off the pitch to interrupt with his football, guess I was wrong but neither the less still has performed brilliantly and believe he is knuckled down on his football now. Despite his small frame which decieves people, his balance is brilliant though and believe he will have a huge impact I reckon with the addition of Dempsey and Ramirez from what I have seen will be a top signing will help Liverpool for a top four challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I don't doubt sterling will be a great player he reminds me of John Barnes I the way he plays.
