Vive_La_Villa Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hickey is massively rated isn’t he? Plus he’s only 19. Guessing he won’t be cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget we also shredded Van Dijk and Trent that day. Two of the best in the world in their role. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Emre Can isn’t getting much action in Germany and has history with SG at Liverpool. Option for CDM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 4 years and He's back at Dortmund with only 6 starts this year... Has something gone wrong for him or is he just deputising boy-wonder in Bellingham? If he's near the player he was looking like he could be 5 years ago this would be a great buy and should just be entering his prime.

Yeah really hope we get him. Exactly the type of player we should be after. CDM is a huge signing and if we can land both in Jan that would be excellent. Another CB (hopefully Gomez) would round us off. I think those are the three signings we need to make in January if possible (which is highly unlikely) or in Summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Can would be a great signing if we could get him but I’d expect a fair few top clubs would be in for him. Not sure if the Gerrard link would work in our favour or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but ACL injury is bad luck and so is Ben Mee breaking your leg. I'd be more worried about players who are out with muscle injuries for x games at a time, or hamstring issues (take Bailey and Ings this season as examples of the type of injury I worry about). That shows recurring injuries. Gomez played all his football after the ACL injury so it's clear he's no long terms issues from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I know that January is a difficult time to make signings but I am really interested to see what we try to do. It might lead to very little but the intent is what will make it really interesting. I’ve been impressed with everything that Gerrard has done so far. He is proving to be a really class act but his greatest influence may be yet to come. Gerrard has played at the very highest level. He knows what good looks like and has the pull to really attract a higher level of player than would have been attainable previously. I expect him to show real ambition with his attempted targets. Links to the likes of Gomez would previously have been totally unrealistic but now we do have an outside chance of making this level of signing. The next 4 weeks could prove to be very exciting.

Who cares if Emmanuel Dennis was fairly crap for £3m? Doesn't really matter. Much more of an issue to have a £20m bust like Wes. Once you get over £15m, you really shouldn't be signing any really poor players that aren't going to work IMO. It's easy to not make terrible signings, hard to get the brilliant deals. -- Edit, adding to this. Wages these days do make it an issue to move players on. Even if you've signed someone for pittance, if you've stuck them on double what they can get anywhere else, you're going to have trouble moving them on when you don't want them.
