January transfer window

[the_khl]

Young, Hazard and big airhead Bendtner and we'd be awesome.

Ready, set, go buy them Henry!!!

Hazard did an interview a couple of days ago and said he won't leave in january. Maybe next season though

Damien Comolli, Liverpool’s director of football strategy, believes he has identified potential bargains in the January sales, with Europe’s financially stricken clubs desperate to sell their best players.

“My feeling about it is that in this economic recession there are so many clubs that are in trouble abroad, more than England. These clubs are under enormous pressure to sell. So this January window could be a very different window from what we have seen previously.

“Players that we would never have thought would be available could be. So that’s why we are working away, thinking that if there is the right opportunity we should do it. Strange things could happen,†he said.

The January window has proved a poor time to invest in the past and NESV, Liverpool’s new owners, are cautious about making promises.

Comolli is keen to stress that the club will not buy a player just to make a statement of intent: “I think the owners are clear minded enough to step back from that pressure. We are going to do what is right, not just for now, but what is right for the club in the next three or four years.

“Roy [Hodgson] is totally onside with that. Why do it if it’s not right? If it’s right in the summer we’ll do it hen.â€

haha we're not shopping at harrods this january

are Bilbao in trouble at the moment? i remember reading that somewhere - Llorente and Muniain please

 

[Squiggles]

I would prefer Young to N'zogbia because it's clear he has a better attitude.

Problem is, Young hasn't built on that one good season. In fact he's going backwards, so I would prefer to look elsewhere if we're going to be spending £12M+

Pick a club that's been successful in the past three years. They're virtually all going to be in breach of the UEFA financial fair play rules unless they make some changes.

That's why I was of the opinion in the summer that we should have torn up the squad to give us the flexibility to add these player who inevitably will be available.
