There's no link, I just needed a 4th name to add to Ings, Sturridge AND Origi as a possible forward quartet. People have mention Lacazette and a few other young foreign players, who I know little about, so I threw in a name of a player I do know and like.
If we don't finish top 4 this season what strike force would you envisage for next season Hal?
I'm not against signing Ings at all but every time we are linked to a striker of his ilk I always seem to add a caveat to his hypothetical arrival. As in, I wouldn't mind Ings joining as long as we also signed a new superstar in the summer as well. Last year the superstar didn't come, hopefully he will arrive this summer. I don't want to be left with just Sturridge as our main striker with Origi and Ings as back up. Anyway, it's way too early to panic about the next transfer window when this one is still active so I'll naively sit and await Lacazette to arrive (insert new shit hot player here).
Except Borini is worth 14M, so can't be a straight swap.
Just as an aside, I was amazed in 2010 no-one was in For Suarez after the world cup. Couldn't understand it. You'll find a post from me on that.
That being said, I had no clue he would be that good.
It's a safe bet our next striking gem will just "look good" but not be the finished article. We don't sign them blokes. Their agents send them to a blue or a red club other than us or Everton

None man. Only Sanchez really.
I just meant I'll naively wait for one to come like I do every year.
I can put together a Youtube collection that can make even Borini know where the net is if you like..

People at the start may not have thought Sturridge was world class as he struggled to get a game and then comes to LFC and we make him a beast. Give the lad a chance if he comes. More chances to score, he's quick and is better than the rest we have (besides sturridge and Sterling, if you call Sterling a ST). Watch the Burnley games, he's defenitely worth the risk at 3 mill.
Maybe, just can't see it, sorry
Oh well that's an entirely different question. I actually don't think Ings and Austin are bad players as such, but are the types of players that we have signed over recent years that have seen us slip from the top 4. It would be a case of buying at our level now, instead of trying a bit harder (I understand this is more difficult) and finding the next top talent. We've shown it can be done. Look at the likes of Sturridge and Suarez. Again, it comes down to opinion, but I don't think the likes of Ings and Austin are the step forward, merely a step sideways.
I'll add further to my point. There is obviously affordable talent out there. I wanted us to go for Lacazette last summer and he's delivered on his early promise this season. I liked Suarez for a few years at Ajax and was firmly in the "SIGN SIGN SIGN" camp after the 2010 world cup. I'm not saying I'm some sort of super scout, quite the opposite. If I can see that these types of players represent better value and less risk than the likes of Andy Carroll, Balotelli, Andriy Voronin, Jovanovic and whatever other lumps of shite that has been lazily plumped for, then why can't people who are paid to do the job 24/7 do a bit of research? It's not that difficult. Other clubs do it all the time, on smaller budgets and arguably with less of a pull. When it comes to signing people our club is lazy and unambitious.
Anagram of INGS INGS INGS, obviously a subliminal conscious decision that you wanted Danny.
Only Liverpool fans could turn this into something against the club when the deal was a no go.
Player, club and manager has said he'll be at Burnley for the rest of the year. But we fucked up....
Will be interesting to see him these last 16 games.
As said earlier Ings for 3 mill added to Studge, Origi and a new versatile forward would be ace.
Lacazette in particular.
Borini, Lambert and Balo could raise a bit of cash at least. 15-18 millish.

Not with him in a Liverpool shirt, you can't
but if we loan him back surely its a win win scenario?
Apparently it's a Premier league rule violation so this is not an option…………..see Counts post #78
Yeah sorry saw that. Bit of a bummer, that would have been perfect.
