Poll Striker Links...Who for you?

[doctor_mac]

So we have been fairly heavily linked with a number of strikers and forwards, all of whom may have pros and cons. Walcott and Sturridge will have inflated price tags, and Walcott appears to want to dictate the position in which he plays. Ba has a 7m release clause, but has knees that some fear may crumble to dust as soon as he pulls on the red jersey. Michu has been linked too. Is he the flavour of the month, or is he worth us paying Swansea 5 or 6 times what they paid for him a couple of months ago? Some links like Sanchez and Llorente, just seem like pie-in-the-sky.

Who should we go for?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

No Shane Long on the list?

 

[cloggypop]

Wilfried Bony.

 

[doctor_mac]

No Shane Long on the list?

'Other'

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Well there's more chance of us signing Long than there is Llorente, so maybe the Spaniard should be in the 'other' category.

 

[doctor_mac]

Nah.

 

[Hansern]

Sanchez, Walcott or Sturridge. I'd be happy with any of them or maybe even two. 😉

 

[Mersey86]

As if we'd get Sanchez!

 

[Red Astaire]

Who's Sanchez??

 

[doctor_mac]

As if we'd get Sanchez!

If it is good enough for the Daily Express....

 

[Mersey86]

I thought that at first - looked up links and saw a link on CaughtOffside months ago for Alexis Sanchez of Barcelona.

 

[doctor_mac]

Who's Sanchez??

Alexis Sanchez. His footier is sexier than one of those gifs that Athens posts with women showing their bits.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

A bid of 10 mill will get Llorente ... Him leading the line with Suarez and Sterling buzzing around him would be fantastic.

 

[Hansern]

I wouldnt mind Remy either, doesnt get games for Marseille and will probably leave in january.

Why isn't he playing for Marseilles?

 

[Hansern]

Why isn't he playing for Marseilles?

Not sure mate. Think he's been injured.

 

[Wilko7]

As if we'd get Sanchez!

Is he still sumersaulting after scoring?

 

[Red Astaire]

Alexis Sanchez. His footier is sexier than one of those gifs that Athens posts with women showing their bits.

Ahhhh You fellas know way more about footy than me. I know nothing about any players outside of the PL for example. I quite like it though. It means when someone like Suarez or Torres turns up it's like a magical surprise. 🙂

 

[Oncy]

I think we'll get Sturridge or Long.

I would like Jovetic or Walcott.

 

[LarryHagman]

Reports I've read said ManU are now interested in Walcott. If true, that's the end of that one.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Whichever one can score goals, play alongside & complement Suarez & preferably good at & doesnt mind working as PR director as well.

 

[Red Astaire]

Reports I've read said ManU are now interested in Walcott. If true, that's the end of that one.

Ha! If he goes there he's a dumb as he looks.

 

[kingjulian]

Piers Plowman

 

[Mamma Mia]

We're getting Villa and Long.

 

[doctor_mac]

Piers Plowman

Piers would be a fine acquisition for any team

 

[dmishra]

Not sure mate. Think he's been injured.

He's been woeful since his injury though. 1 goal in 12 games or something.

SUAREZ AND STURRIDGE TO SHARE CENTRE-FORWARD ROLE

Liverpool's plans to right the wrongs of their late August transfer business are increasingly advanced.

Brendan Rodgers' priority is to increase his attacking options and the best part of £20 million has been earmarked for Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge and Blackpool’s Thomas Ince.

Rodgers remains keen on Arsenal contract rebel Theo Walcott although Liverpool

face​

​

strong competition for the England international from the likes of Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs should he fail to agree new terms at Emirates Stadium.

Pepe Reina and Stewart Downing are the two senior

players​

​

most likely to be offloaded to help fund the new arrivals, who could also include England goalkeeper Jack Butland.

Goal.com understands that Liverpool's swoop for Sturridge has progressed this week as the Merseysiders close in on an agreement with Chelsea.

It is believed that Rodgers' plan is to use the versatile attacker in a fluid attacking system headed by Anfield talisman Luis Suarez.

"Sturridge wants to go down the middle rather than out wide but he will not be permanently handed the No.9 position that he craves," a Liverpool source told Goal.com. "Brendan wants fluid strikers who can play in a variety of positions. You will not see Suarez or Sturridge playing up front all the time.

"It will be a case of keeping the defenders guessing by the players interchanging positions, from game to game and often within the

matches​

​

themselves. That's why Andy Carroll was loaned out, because he can only play one role. Brendan likes forwards who can play wide or through the middle."

LIVERPOOL WANT BUTLAND TO BE THEIR JOE HART

Liverpool are frontrunners in the chase to sign Jack Butland in January as they eye a replacement for Arsenal target Pepe Reina.

Sources have told Goal.com that the Merseyside

club​

​

believe Butland "can be their Joe Hart".

This is a reference to how Manchester City snapped up the England No.1 from lower league Shrewsbury Town as a 19-year-old - the same age as Butland is now – and nurtured him into one of the finest goalkeepers in Europe.

Liverpool are wary of overpaying for potential, and will not be held to ransom, but there is a growing appreciation among club scouts that the Birmingham City keeper is an outstanding young talent.

The Merseysiders are likely to offer a structured deal, with an initial payment of around £5m supplemented by performance-related add-ons.

 

[Mystic]

So we're gonna play with interchanging centre forwards like we have all season. Well done goal.

 

[Hansern]

Dont rate Butland for some reason

 

[Silver Sean]

Reports I've read said ManU are now interested in Walcott. If true, that's the end of that one.

Agreed. If they fuck that mincing tool Nani off then Walcott would seem an ideal buy for them. Not really that bothered to be honest. Would rather get a proper 'in off their shin from three yards' type striker myself. Attack the box, finish off some of these attacks.
