Ajax are making the smartest moves here by going for Adam Maher and Marco Van Ginkel. I would take both of them for us.

We'd have to hijack Eriksen's taxi to Dortmund to prevent him from signing. Which we'll fuck up no doubt because they drive on the other side there.
SMOKE SCREEN ... we want Fischer ... We'll take the Danish Van Basten.
What.... We're signing Bendtner????
Or maybe Coutinho has been so good in that nr 10 role that Rodgers feels its a bit of a waste signing an expencive player that can only play in one position.
I'd rather he spent that money on a top winger who can play on both sides.
Jesus Navas will move this summer, I'd love to sign him.

Probably bound for Atletico Madrid.

Catania president Antonino Pulvirenti has revealed the club are in talks to sell Alejandro Gomez to Atletico Madrid.
The 25-year-old has made more than 100 appearances for the Rossazzurri since signing from San Lorenzo in the summer of 2010.
The winger has notched eight goals in 35 appearances so far this season, helping the Sicilian club up to eighth place in Serie A with just one game remaining.
His displays have caught the eye of rival clubs, with Pulvirenti revealing he has received a number of bids.
However, it appears the Argentine will be playing his football at the Vicente Calderon next season after it was confirmed Atletico are close to sealing a deal.
"The negotiations with Atletico Madrid are very advanced, we have some serious bids. I think Gomez will go there," said Pulvirenti.
"How we'll replace Gomez? We have [Lucas] Castro and we have already taken [Sebastian] Leto.
"We will also continue to work in Argentina where there are many players that familiarise themselves very well in Serie A."

That, and bacon.
Seriously?
Is Navas still having "issues" these days? I tend to agree re Countino. Wouldn't be surprised to see us buy one more attacker, but with Sterling and Borini in reserve, we're pretty healthy in those four positions.

I reckon we'll buy at least two attacking players and both of quality to compete from the start of the Season. We need this as much as we need a new, world class CB and a DM imo.
Sterling, Borini, Assaidi, Downing, Suso are all decent/talented but neither of them have proved they have got the quality over the course of a Season if we are to expect a challenge.
We are desperately lacking scoring options when either Suarez or Sturridge doesn't hit form, between the rest in the squad I don't see any frequent goalscorers at this stage. We are simply to easy to close down with so little goal-threats in the squad.

Wouldn't say we were healthy. Sterling is work in progress and borini has yet to show anything that says that he's a decent player. But I'm hoping that rodgers main focus is defence and steel in midfield. That surely has to be a priority over a luxury signing like Eriksen.

At least some fans have got their priorities right, the result of a voting among Dortmund's fans from yesterday:
54,34% -Christian Eriksen (Ajax Amsterdam)
23,00% - Kevin de Bruyne (FC Chelsea)
13,79% - Bernard (Atletico Mineiro)
8,87% -Heung-Min Son (Hamburger SV)

We aren't exactly lacking scoring options - we've scored 70 - we scored 77 the year we finished second.
Borini looks like he has a few goals in him if he gets a run if fitness. Coutinho looks like he'll chip in with some. Shelvey & Sterling have it in them to score a few goals. Henderson has been playing in the forward positions and also chipped in with a few.
I think we need one player capable of operating in the wide areas - and that's all in that department.
Getting a quality replacement for Carragher has to be the priority.
CM, a 2nd CB & LB are also areas that need looking at. I'd only think about a 2nd forward "IF" it's funded by selling Downing & Assaidi.

Haha.. taking into consideration that it was local newspaper Ruhr Nachrichtens that compiled the survey I doubt that many.

Point taken. Suarez and Sturridge have been looking lethal most Season so I tend to agree that we are not lacking fire power upfront. Having said that a lot of our goals has fallen in games where we are winning 4-5-6 to something why there are also quite a few goalless draws that paints a different picture, than 'enough goals'.
Yes, when we play against weaker opposition we are now great at exploiting it, but we struggle as soon as we play the better teams and defenses imo.
We may have the firepower needed but we are desperately lacking creative options when our two strikers are closed down, and preferably creative options that will also chip in now and then making us harder to close down as a team.
Yep - we need our youngsters to develop a little bit more & we need one top quality forward who can operate in wide areas.
We conceded way too many last season - that's where we have to be tighter without sacrificing numbers in attack.

We've only failed to score 3 times in the league since january. And the stats show that if the season had started in january we'd be 3rd(arsenal 1st surprisingly). Scoring isn't our issue, our issue is stoping the ball going in the other end. Rodgers needs to not only focus more on defensive players in the summer but heavily work on our defensive system. A simple cross comes in and we're all over the place. We need better than lucas because he doesn't offer enough protection. Eriksen isn't what we need and Dortmund don't have defensive issues so they can go for him and they need him more.
Won't be surprised if they sign at least 2 of those 4. Kevin de Bruyne already looks like a certainty (if Chelsea don't force him to Leverkusen).
