jacketspuds Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 As unrealistic as it sounds, the links to Pau Torres are very exciting. Sadly I think he will end up at a Champions League team, but hopefully it's a sign of our ambition. The thing we have on our side is that there must be some really good players out there that want to play for Gerrard. He was probably a bit of a hero to some of these players.

wilko154 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 For me the priority in January is now a left back and a central midfielder. I would say we now have the luxury of not having to bring in anyone if we can't find someone who fits. We don't need to rush into making a panic buy if they aren't the perfect player for the team. As brutal as it is we now have to start upgrading the first team one piece at a time. Targett could do with some competition at left back, and we should be looking at buying a player better than him. Central midfield is then another area where we could do with a real quality defensive midfielder. The tough part of the next few windows will be selling players; we need to start selling players for profit to become the sustainable football club our owners have talked about since buying the club.

Mazrim Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Selling players we don't want for profit, sure. There's not much future in selling players you'd ideally want to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say we need competition for both fullback positions. Should anything happen to Cash we’d probably have to move Konsa out wide, which weakens us centrally and decreases our attacking options down the right. I guess Young could fill in at FB on both flanks but we are very light. Edited November 28, 2021 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many are hoping that Kesler could be the answer to that problem; and I imagine the club see that as a huge step in their academy to first team plan.

VillaFaninLondon Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Based on players previously linked or mentioned that would improve us, in an ideal world: IN Julian Alvarez - £20m Ibrahim Sangare - £25m Wijndal - £25m OUT Davis - £2m El Ghazi/Trezeguet - £10-15m Sanson - £15m Matchday 18: Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Wijndal McGinn Sangare Luiz/Ramsey Bailey Watkins Alvarez Subs: Steer, Targett, Hause/Tuanzebe, A.Young, Nakamba, Ramsey/Luiz, Buendia, Traore, Ings I quite like Sanson but it seems like something is up with him as he never he comes off the bench even yesterday when we were crying out for another ball carrier who could keep possession. AEG divides opinion and again I quite like him, but he would probably generate some funds and we've got quite a few wingers now. Much rather sell Trezeguet but I think he'd be harder to move on. This is obviously quite unrealistic for January, but where we need strengthening. My preference for DM would be Zakaria but I think he'll end somewhere like Manure. We really need to tie down Luiz and Martinez to long term contracts too, otherwise Luiz needs to be moved on next summer so we get some money for him and we need to start thinking about Dibu's replacement in summer 2023 if he doesn't sign a new deal either. Not gonna be an easy replacement of course, so hopefully he signs a new deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytenjobs Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 From the Last two games, I’d love us to sign bassuma, lampty. Both significant upgrades on what we have in those areas. But doubt we would get either in a Jan window. thought Gallagher looked class yesterday, but again not going to leave Chelsea in Jan. I can’t really see much coming in apart from left back competition until we’ve trimmed some central mid fat. Too many similar players competing for 1 slot as McGinn and Luiz seem nailed on starters when fit. Sanson, Ramsey, Chuck, nakamba all looking for the third slot is prob a bit too much depth of similar level players. (If we ever get to see how good sanson is…he should be the third starter I would have thought…) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I don’t think we need to be signing anyone to be honest. We should be bringing through the youth prospects, we have players across all positions potentially to try out, perhaps save for a genuine DM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids we have are a year or two too young at the moment for making their mark on the prem. We also have a lack of talent at left back in the youth system. We have loads of centre mids though. Lindley 19 Raikhy 18 Ramsey 18 Iroegbunam 18 Chuk 18 Chrisene 17 Bogarde 17 plays DM equally good as cb Jacob 20 I think even though we have this we do lack that one special midfielder in the short term. I think Luiz might go as he has shown no interest in signing a new contract. Maybe agent Elisha has been given a remit to settle him down here ! If we were to sell Luiz and end up with a replacement of the quality of Bissouma then i would be really happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankle rather than knee I think but yeah exactly the same, won the ball absolutely smashed the man, don't think it was even a foul Now gomez is struggling to get back to starting for Liverpool, don't think he's as finished as Wes is but he's not getting no 2 CB up there again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
