i know its unrealistic that everton would sell but i would love it if we just tried to sign coleman. if we could get coleman and shaw for our full back spots next year it would be amazing. then try to get a top class center back like hummels or chellini. a top class name anyway. then we need a strong midfielder who can win possession maybe like pogba basquets or vidal. then we need a winger like lucas moura or draxler and a striker like martinez or even if we signed someone like adeboyour or keane. an experienced striker that could be backup to sturridge and suarez

we have a lot of players who might be sold this summer so we should generate some funding with them. hopefully with champions league football our owners will allow some heavy investment to help us stay where we belong

keane

thats with the possible departures of agger, skrtel, coates, reina, toure, wisdom, glen, enrique, borini and aspas

dont think that so many will leave if the investment IS NOT there though. we will need a much bigger squad next season so if we dont have more than 20 or 30 million to spend i can see us holding onto nearly everyone. bar the exceptions of reina coates and maybe one or two of the likes of toure agger and skrtel. glen could be going but i think he will sign a new contract if we get champions league. some compromise will be made regarding the wage structure with him. he is still a top right back

Even Football Manager would tell you to fuck off if you tried to do that.

Sagna would be an excellent signing however I don't believe it either. He'd have no issue getting a much better contract somewhere else.

That said if we were to sign him on reasonable wages and let go of Johnson it'd be excellent business imo.

A new RB to help the younger players coming up and give them another year before they play consistently.

I agree. Not sure Wisdom has the attacking ability to be first choice for a CL team (please God), but will definatley have a part to play. McLoughlin still need more proving at a higher level than U21. And Kelly looks as though he might NEVER fulfill his promise -I see him going the way of John O'Shea.

I think we need to invest in two players of experience for next season, but not over 30 unless it's too good to turn down. We want players with CL experience beyond the group stage. We have enough youth that we are building from within, cannot keep buying players for tomorrow...

Maybe I missed the budget meeting - Hummels, Shaw, Basquets (sic), Maura, Keane??? What the hell?

how much will we generate through player sales though. im sure we would cover most of it. probably not get moura but the others are getable. barca look like they are screwed cash wise. they would have sold cesc to united last season if cesc would go there. they sold thiago to bayern. hell theyve been doing it for years. look at toure to city. i think we could get basquets from barca. maybe we could get him in exchange for reina. we could get a few million aswell.

shaw we could just offer them glen

hummels would be expensive but if we offered them agger we could get him

moura would be class so i think aspas going the other way or maybe alberto on loan or something.

keane would be cheap

summer sorted

and why is that now? because i didnt go after sagna??

yea the signings are so unrealistic aswell. every player i mentioned has been linked with moves away from their respective clubs within the last couple of years.

as p;remiership champions and champions league contenders i dont see why we shouldnt be aiming for these type of players instead of feckin sagna

With Enrique coming back, would it be a good idea to keep Flanno over on the far wing for good?

Because fcuk Johnson....

Glen Johnson wouldn't "just go" to Southampton.

And Robbie Keane?? I'll need that one explained

Seriously I think we have targets in mind and a set budget Hummels + Shaw alone would blow that away and thats including player sales.

Suggesting a swap for Reina and busquets, honestly if you think we could get Busquets for £5m wouldn't we have done it in the last window, or last summer?? (notwithstanding his £150m buyout clause)

shaw we could just offer them glen

Not a hope, Shaw will be in a bidding war in the summer (if the rumours are correct it will be £20-25+ as astarting price) and is almost nailed on to be at Chelsea. Even offering Johnson on his inflated wages, Southampton wouldn't want him

hummels would be expensive but if we offered them agger we could get him

Again...Hummels will be in the £25+ bracket and would most likely be a target for Bayern , Borussia would be looking for cash not a player deal (they rarely happen to be honest)

moura would be class so i think aspas going the other way or maybe alberto on loan or something.

Offering Alberto/Aspas on loan to PSG ..oookay :rolleyes:

keane would be cheap

Keane is not up to PL challenge and is not the type of player we want or need. Too old, too slow and wouldn't fit in with the type of play we are going with

course he would. they are paying ridiculous wages over at southampton these days. if he isnt willing to stay at liverpool for reasonable wages im sure southampton will offer him a better deal

whats wrong with robbie?? he scores goals and he is an experienced striker. he would be cheap, on not so high wages and would be a great backup striker. he didnt work out the last time but with different tactics and a new manager things could be different

Paulegend wrote: »

No they are not...they have a very set way of doing business there, everything is done within their means. Plus FA PL rules for next season would see Johnson's wage ALONE bust the £4m cap

Football Manager syndrome going on BIG time here! :pac:

Busquets is 'gettable' with Reina and some cash from Barcelona...

Tops it all off then by playing him in front of Gerrard. :pac:

id say with the sales of agger and skrtel we could get about 30 million easily. thats just both of them. im sure we will have another 30 or 40 on top of that to play with

Devilman40k wrote: »

sergio wouldnt have come here last year with lack of champions league

buyout clauses mean nothing. how often do players leave for their buyout clause??

IF basquets does leave if will be around the 10 million mark and reina could fetch about 15 from barca so im sure we would get cash and player

there will be 4 clubs that shaw will consider and they will be the top 4. to be fair he wont be going to united. glen is a top class right back and im sure southampton would love to have him. wouldnt want him? course they would

Devilman40k wrote: »

agger was looked at by both bayern and pep when he was at barca. i think agger could be a player they would consider. hummels isnt as much of a ball player but is a top class defender. not sure if bayern will be after him unless they consider getting rid of badstuber. pep likes to have at least one of his center backs that can pass the ball.

borussia will need a top class defender to replace hummels so maybe we could get him for 20-25 or maybe skrtel might bring that fee down

aspas and alberto are very good players who just havent settled yet. im sure psg would be honoured to give them first team football

keane is the best striker at international level in the uk isles. im sure he can make the step down to the premier league. as a back up im sure he could make a contribution. he knows where the net is and other pacey players like sterling and sturridge and ossaidi will take the pace pressure off him

noodler

I like Keane as much as anybody but even I have to admit he is too slow for our setup.

He'd have to play very deep and we have Coutinho and Gerrard for that.

A well-regarded sub for CC games is all he would be.

Paulegend.......are you winding us all up?

We should definitely sign Robbie Keane.

nah just pointing out how ridiculous some people are with these quick fix ideas. was in the fecking pub last night listening to some united fan raving on about how they are signing cesc and ronaldo in the summer. apparently they are going to spend up to 200 million on players this summer. its just ridiculous that people spout this crap. its not as easy as fecking saying lets just sign players x y and z. its not like the liverpool transfer committee are on boards trying to get some sort of intelligent feedback on which players might be available. its like yer man that was in the united thread the other day talking about these kind of transfers. apparently if they sell rvp they will get 30 million:rolleyes:

i think the one for fergie time is "pay webb"
infinite money (but not able to spend it) is "wenger"
make your team the most hated is "jose"
infinite money is "sell to the arabs who make up companies to pretend to be sponsors"

unfortunately i dont think our team is compatible for any of those:D

I honestly thought that was who you were referring to initially. I had to look up if he's been scoring goals for fun in the lower league to make him a top prospect now since I'd last heard of him.

yea by the sounds of it ter stegen could be heading to barca. which leaves to question the future of pepe. a part of me would love to see him come back here and give migs a proper bit of competition. make them both up their game.

all the piss take aside id love to have basquets here. will never happen in a billion years but the guy is strong in midfield. can break up play and can actually pass the ball. he is a lot like de rossi in his early days. he would be a great signing. but will never happen. if it did he would be going for around 40+ million and we donthave that kind of cash

You serious? One of the best midfielders in the world!

We'd never get him though!

Paullegend, you can't actually be serious with some of these suggestions?!

You would turn up your nose at the likes of Sagna, a quality right-back, and then suggest Robbie Keane as a striker? The best striker in the Britisj Isles? He's better than Rooney, Sturridge? 'Make the step down' from knocking in penalties against the Faroes to playing against top defenders in the twilight of his career?

Aspas and Alberto at PSG? Did you see them last night? You do realise they are arguably in the top 5 teams in Europe at the moment, a big club with quality players.

They probably wouldn't even get on the bench!

Absurd stuff

I thought he was very good in his first season, but tailed off big time since. Fairly sure I've seen Arsenal fans complain about his general form this season.

edit - all I see is caugh****ingoffside and the Daily Star yapping on about Sagna to Liverpool.
