I hope Barrett is right in what hes reporting. I honestly believe some guys in here have rose tinted specs on when it comes to Liverpool.
Im not one to go for knee jerk reactions (hell I defended Hodgson for a time), but seriously anyone that thinks we don't need to add to Sturridge, Lambert and Borini are kidding themselves.
I feel people are really underestimating just how big of a loss Suarez is. Not only his goals, his assists, his ability to keep defenders distracted freeing up space for the likes of Sterling and Sturridge, his aggressiveness and will to win. He is an astronomical loss.
If you look at the squad, an injury to Sturridge, a drop in form (no one there to compete against him) we are in serious trouble and definitely a side that does not resemble a team going for the Premier League.
Borini and Lambert are sound players to have on the bench, but could you imagine having to rely on those two over the course of 5/6/7 fixtures?
Bony at 20 million definitely isnt the answer. Hes a good finisher but does not fit our style at all and to be honest I am not sure who does. I loved the idea of Remy coming in but thats done and dusted. The only two that realistically come to mind now are Lacazette and Martinez.
Its times like this you would miss Nuri around these parts to throw up a good list.
As far as Full backs go, anyone that watched the match last night will see that Johnson is still awful.0 -

A list you say, here are the main players we have been linked to in that position on twitter.
Lacazette
Vela
Bony
Shaqiri
Heung-Min Son
Volland
Aubameyang
El Shaarawy
Muniain
Ljajic
Muriel
Dos Santos
Icardi
Ferreyra
Also not sure why you think anyone would be happy with the 3 strikers you have mentioned. Everyone on here and BR have all said we need a third striker who has quality. Borini wont be at the club in a month and we will have a 3rd quality option instead0 -

Would it not be a good idea to wait until the transfer window closes until passing judgement.
A deal has just fallen through and no doubt another one will be lined up.
Sometimes it's just best to wait and see.0 -

It wouldnt be much of a discussion forum if we all just followed the "wait and see" line.
Secondly, its not very progressive if you take a wait and see stance on these type of things. Imagine if we decided to "wait and see" on Suarez and someone came in and signed him at the time?
Of course Im speaking as if we dont bring in someone or sign the likes of Bony. Sure for all we know we could go out and sign Reus tomorrow.
We are signing Reus tomorrow. #Believe0 -

A united squad that finished 7 last year have signed 2 players despite losing most of their defence
We finished second and have signed 5 players and are likely to sign 3 more.
Im more than happy with how the window is going so (ignoring the giant elephant in the room that was the Suarez sale)0 -

I think the same people who are against Bony were probably against Sturridge signing too.
Well you have definitely just pulled that from your arse! You really love assuming things.
Anyways my reasoning for not wanting Bony is mainly down to his pace. He is a great finisher and good in the air, but he is one slow slow man. Painstakingly slow anytime I have seen him. In my mind he just doesnt fit in with what Rodgers has built this team into, an aggressive, high pressing, fast team that can counter attack at will.
Bony at 20 million would look like a square peg being put in a round hole. We have Lambert to play that type of role for us.
Another issue I would have with Bony is that for any game that Rodgers would want to play a 4-3-3, Bony would either have to sit on the bench or Sturridge would have be pushed out wide.
So much of what makes Liverpool dangerous is that our front three can switch positions with each other. Bony definitely isn't a wide man.
At the end of the day I have every faith in Rodgers doing the right thing so if he believes Bony is right then Ill back him. You would always worry that its another committee signing though.0 -
