Good point.

I think we might find thst Sturridge recovers a lot quicker if his position is under threat.

Need to spend 30 odd million to find another Sturridge ... or ... 8mill for a guy that seems like maybe he could just be another Sturridge ... wonder which one FSG will invest in.

Would be foolish to not go for another striker, for all the other options we bought in the summer having no Striker can be the sole reason for not making a proper run at 4th.

Be it Janaury or the Summer if we sell Balotelli & Borini and add that 8 million to their sale price we probably buy Lacazette.

So starting next season you could have Lacazette and Sturridge fight for a starting place or playing together with Origi as 3rd choice and Lambert as plan B 4th choice and what he was bought for in the first place.

The Rodgers out crap reached a peak after the 3 straight PL losses, as you'd expect, some people maintained the tide would turn etc, 7 games on we have 14 points and are playing relatively well. Some of us anticipated this, some didn't.

The tide turned after we were brought to the brink of collapse, dumped out of CL ignominiously after drawing a dream group and languishing in PL mid-table. While I didn't call for Bren's exit, I would fully expect the owners to have been scouting replacements at that point (if it was your money in the club you would be doing likewise).
To a certain degree every manager is walking a tight-rope, if this welcomed gradual recovery continues we may see FSG spend some money in this window. Otherwise they will save their dollars for a new broom in the summer, imo.

Happy New Year fellow reds. Have a good one!

Tomorrows bumfluff - Ibe recall, Gerrard to be given every chance to consider his future at the club, Balo to Napoli on loan

I only signed up at the start of the season, been reading this little section of boards.ie for years, apologies to anyone who I've disagreed with who has been irked

I think we have a manager who can consistently get the club punching above it's weight on the field, I think it's never been as hard to do just that.

At times the ole query of "how many will we win by today" has crossed my mind, I got that feeling last Monday and I expect to see more of the same in 2015

Great performance from Ibe the other night. Some rumours that we might recall him but I would like to leave him at Derby as he is progressing well.

Jack Dunn, Lloyd Jones and Kevin Stewart have joined League 2 Cheltenham Town on a months loan.

Sell Borini, recall Ibe

Sell Allen, promote Suso as backup Midfielder

Sell Balo, buy Bony or Lacazette

This is more like it, as I said yesterday i'd love to start selling players in order to fit others in.

Why on earth would we sell Allen?

He's on low enough wages, he has never grumbled about being a squad player and he is more than capable of performing at PL level.

Re: Ibe - leave him at Derby, pray they get promoted and then leave him there next season too. Throw in a contract extension to secure his future.
With Sterling, Lallana, Coutinho, Origi, Sturridge and probably another striker here next season his gametime may be limited.

Agent Coulson

I don't mean this as a dig at Rodgers but it will come across as much to some.

Rodgers really doesn't do himself any favours with quotes like this.

"When I came in here, there was talk about whether he could play my type of football, whether his legs had gone. But he was arguably the player of the year last year.

He definitely wasn't in our top 3 thats for sure and arguably wasn't even in our top 5 five players last season. .

They have a job on so! Chelts are 19th in that division with just 20 goals scored all season. So they get in two defenders! That said Jack Dunn could make a difference up top with his pace and shot.

I think Allen has done ok at LFC. Good on the ball, etc. However he was more suited to the 'death by football' type approach which has since been abandoned. He doesn't really excel in the current setup. Not as good as Lucas in a DM type role, not as energetic or athletic as Hendo at CM, doesn't have the range of passing of Stevie, doesn't have the ability of a Coutinho or Lallana to play that AM type role either. Selling him and promoting Suso wouldn't hurt the team IMO. Recoup some of the investment in Allen and give Suso a chance to shine.

Re Ibe, if you're good enough you're old enough. If we sell Borini, which I think we should, we'll need cover.

I'd have Stevie in our top 3 from last year - miles behind Suarez, a good distance behind Studge, but ahead of all the others. You're right tho - a bit of an exaggeration from BR!

Top assisting player last season was he not?? Scored some vital goals as well. Suarez was the main man last season but Gerrard was in the bracket behind him with Sturridge and Sterling

Agent Coulson

I'd have him behind Suarez, Sturridge & Sterling.


I would arguably have him behind Henderson.


I know what Rodgers is doing by saying that thought Gerrard is free to talk to clubs from today.
