Where do we need to finish for a europa league spot? 6th?

Wondering the exact same thing.

Could it get to a point where we need to win the Europa league to qualify for it?

Without Torres that's 50% of our goals (threat) gone.

I couldn't give a shite at the moment. I'd like to see some of the young lads come in to show these moping shitheads what it means to play for Liverpool's first team.

Well to be honest we need two strikers now, we needed one anyway.
Kenwyne and RVN get your bags packed

I'm afraid I haven't the slightest idea how to, Fabs.

Then all hope is lost 🙁

I think longer term we need another solution other than Gerrard/Torres. Clearly we can't challenge for the league with them as our principle weapons, they can't stay fit enough for long enough. Injury prone, both of them.

 

[Richey]

Is there any chance at all we will sign anyone who is any good and might score some goals? Or are we more likely to get someone who is slow, never scores but works hard?

It's a massive problem. So here's a quandary for people. If Torres and Gerrard carried on the rest of the season with injury problems and a team came up with a combined offer of £100m that would be guaranteed to be spent on players would you accept it ?

Doesn't matter. Just answer the question, go on.

 

[Richey]

I don't think so. Don't think I'd trust Benitez to spend 100 quid let alone 100 million right now.

Thats a superb question. I think I would. We need rebuilding. David Villa, Sergio Aguero, Silva, would all be gettable.

I would too. Gerrard, whilst talismanic, is onthe downward spiral. Torres i would be upset by, however he seems to be quite injury prone recently

It usually helps when attracting World Class talent, to already have some world class talent in the team.

If we sold Gerrard and Torres we would have Reian and Masher and the rest of the team would be made up of fucking flids like Lucas, Insua and Eggnog

Selling your best players isn't the way to build a good team

in essence i agree, but i'd like to think we'd still have enough pull if we lost both.

Notice i said like to think. It prob wouldn't happen and we'd be left with signings like marcus bent and nigel quashie to replace.
Still, might get the stadium built quicker

 

[King Binny]

Surely we should push for a striker signing now? 😛olice:

Only tenuous links with RVN and Chamakh. I still think fat, mental adriano would be a decent option. Only because he'll prob be free or cheap

I agree to an extent, but I think the essence of the question was that the £100m would be spent on other top class players, the ultimate aim being to improve the team.
So instead of relying on the Torres /Gerrard partnership we could have two £30m forwards and still have £40m to spend on another top drawer player or a couple of very decent players. Therefore improving our forward line, the squad and also not being reliant on one player to score goals.
