I do love your eternal optimism

I would prefer Torres to go .... anywhere at all just go but I fear we are stuck with him for 2 more seasons.

That is very true he has his snack box at home

I suppose it would be nice to have him around to collect his PL medal next season to complete the set, ok you have convinced me lets keep him.

1 CF, keep Lukaku, sell Torres/Ba, sorted.
1 LB,

Celebrate in May.

Less of that craic.
If we're home and dry having 4 games left and being 11 clear, then we can go on like that.
Until then let's try to be cautious :pac:

TBH we should sign Messi or Suarez. He'd be hated even more if he was a devil from SW6.

That article is pure sh*t, says he burst on the scene, which he did but also said hes a 24 year old. :pac:

Hes only 18/19, not many 24 year olds burst on to the scene :pac:

No room for him as Matic and Fab will be our main midfield, and cant see Jose using a 3 man midfield. Plus not a Jose type player, not defenisve or hard-working.
Would love him but just cant see where or how he would fit in

I'd say he's more of a Jose style player than Fabregas. He can comfortably play as a deep-lying playmaker, in the hole, or as a box-to-box.

I could see us going back to a 4-3-3 even if we don't sign Kroos to fit in Fabregas.

GavRedKing

I dont think fabergas is good enough defensively or hard enough working as a CM but if we can get Kroos it would be a no brainer, IMO.

GavRedKing

Cesc could work in 4-2-3-1 if Matic does nothing but sit back and anchor CM, take the ball from the CBs and FB's and start from deep, Cesc can be given more freedom than Ramires or Lamps when theyre in CM next too Matic as long as Matic is very disciplined which he can be.

Although a 4-3-3 with an anchor man of Matic and allowing Cesc and Oscar to join the front 3 would be excellent.

slingerz

4-2-3-1 is Jose's formation of choice though traditionally.

reckon he'll keep that shape and it'll be

Matic - Fabregas
Willian - Oscar - Hazard
Costa

Suarez 1st bite - 8 game ban
2nd bite - 10 game ban
3rd bite - 4months or 9 EPL games.

Different authorities. I'm shocked he's even banned from the domestic league. We've never seen such a wide-reaching ban before. He's not allowed to train with club or country or attend their matches or be in a football stadium.

hullaballoo

According to the FIFA website, it's 9 official internationals and four-month worldwide ban.

That means he'll miss the rest of the WC with Uraguay but (say) if they get knocked out next round, he'll still miss their next 8 official internationals.

Also, the four-month woldwide ban means he'll miss ~13 games for LFC, 9 BPL, 1 (maybe 2?) League Cup and 3 UCL matches.

It's pretty far reaching. There's also a lot of confusion around the decision's exact remit re training and transfers etc.

LOLOLOL

They should have taken into account his previous and given him a longer "domestic" ban, IMO.

GavRedKing

We could always low ball Liverpool now, 50million for Suarez. :pac:

Costa and Suarez upfront would be comedy gold for bans and suspensions.

kev1.3s

I had no idea they'd be that severe with the punishment! Don't get me wrong he deserves a ban but that's very thorough, it'll do either of two things 1 reduce his value considerably in any sale or 2 scare off any suiters leaving him to stay at Liverpool.

If hes not allowed to train with Liverpool for the next few months, it'll take him a few weeks to be back up to speed, match sharpness, we paly Liverpool about 2 weeks after his ban is up. :eek:

so because you're a mod it must be ok for you to fill the chelsea thread with Liverpool related topics. I see the consistency is back to the soccer forum.

Yeah he could well come back with a point to prove. I'd say his punishment will be reduced on appeal.

Chill out Hangballlouie, first i've seen of any sort in this thread for a long time and unless you're a regular reader in here i'm sure you'll have seen that it's widespread in other threads in comparison to this one.

Disappointing but it's obvious Jose doesn't rate him.

GavRedKing

Heard that too, at 30-40 million theyre more than welcome to him.

GavRedKing

They require a LB more than we do right now.

Rumored to be £31m plus add ons. And they were saying in the United thread today that we overpay for players :pac:

Utd need him more they'll pay more.

If we paid 30 + Millino for him I'd be freaked too but at the end of the day nobody in the Utd thread is out of pocket if they spend 100million on him so they wont care.

Shaw having medical in the morning, its one of those that in all likeliness looks overpriced now but will have been well worth it in 3-4 years time...

Ah we got Cesc for cheaper than they were willing to pay last year and cheaper than Herrera.

Happy days, I'm glad Barca sold for that value now.

Although that being said, Barca have got good replacements and Herrera is a good player too.

United will put up a serious challenge next season with no Champions League football, im prepared to say Liverpool are fcuked, their squad just isnt good enough and with Suarez missing 9 games, im ready to rule them out...
