Poll Which positions do we need to strengthen?

[Modo]

Let's say that none of our best players will be sold. Reina, Johnson etc stays.

Where do we need strengthening? ( maximum 4 votes)

No need to write anything (potential players etc), just vote. It'll be interesting to see which positions you consider are most important.

 

[Modo]

So far it's:

1. LW/LM
2. CB
3. DM
4. RW/RM

So we need 2 wingers interesting.

Where's goalkeeper?

I think it's common sense that if Reina stays we won't need another keeper. Gulasci seems to be good enough to be his back up.

 

[Fox]

I would say CM is ok now with the new improved Lucas and Spiering/Gerrard/Ming

I would say a LW, LB, CH to cover for sicknote and maybe a RW/CF backup like Dirk

We don't need much now that Ming, Suarez and Carrol are in our 1st team

Ok, well seeing as this thread is all about what you think, why not just tell us who to sign and then lock the thread?

Apparently Kenny went to see Lloris play this week btw.

 

[spider-Neil]

I'm wondering if the performances of flannagan and robinson have changed the priorties of positions we want to strengthen.

without tempting fate I think pepe's recent press qoutes means he'll give us one more season to get our shit together, so 'goal keeper' is something we can tick off the list.

No. You never can.

Every position is covered in the poll options, except for goalkeeper.

Odd.

obviously it isn't relief but if pepe does fuck off we have to just get on with it. if he expresses a desire to leave then it's about getting as much for him as possibly (even if it's to a rival) buying the best replacement we can and moving the fuck on, exactly like we did with torres.

[/quote]

keeper is always a difficult position to buy cover for, more so if that keeper is any good.
an experienced number 2 isn't going to be prepared to warm the bench and a talented youngster needs to be playing to gain experience especially with regards to improving concentration.
we can sound keepers out, sure, but as a replacement for pepe if he leaves not cover if he stays.

 

[gene hughes]

That's why I think we'll just replace him. So we can have a keeper who doesn't flirt with Man Utd when things aren't going as well as he'd like.

It's not cissokho because we're getting Enrique, apparently.

 

[RolandG]

1.LB
2.LW/LM
3.RW
4.STR

1.Robinson as back up LB.
2. Marveaux as first choice/back up LW/LM
3.A pacy RW
4. Kuyt can be our 3rd STR

 

[Modo]

One signing confirmed:

LM/LW: Sylvain Marveux

From wiki:

On 29th April 2011, Marveaux agreed terms with the best team in the world Liverpool fc on a four-year deal contract. The deal should be completed during the summer transfer window, should Marveaux passes a medical at the club.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvain_Marveaux#Rennes

Haha..

 

[Mistadobalina]

Defender. A commanding Hyypia like central defender.
Midfielder. A Grahame Souness like not to be fucked with type with class.
Forward. A Goalscoring forward happiest out wide in a front 3. New Barnes!

Great success in those 3 transfers would make us challenge for the title I reckon.

Obviously naming 3 of our greatest ever players is a bit of a stretch but they represent the perfect type of player I'd be aiming for, aim high Kenny!
