Marveaux should have the ability to do a lot more. Too little support from Gosling may be?

Raylor!

Gosling is even worse than Obertan, I am serious.

Gael has been very very impressive offensively. His passing is superb at such a young age. What a discover.

Santon is not a good comparison imo. Taiwo would be a better one.

I can only say he is the best French players we have had all time. Robert's second and Ginola's third. Hard to compare with Shearer, different position, different style and different characters.

I believe we do have better alternatives if we are to splash out 12m on a back up striker.

That is arguable. Both Sergio Ramos and Pepe aren't THAT reliable even though they are great centre backs. If you need experience, Carvalho is the only choice. He is a liability occasionally but sometimes he also contributes something that other RM defenders couldn't offer. He is still a useful sub. Khedira is shit btw. Useful squad players but not up to the pace during any important matches.

He wasnt that poor last match. Clearly not a starter but I'd have no problem to have a sub who has pace to pose some threat.

Our second best player today, well done Stevie

I think the correct definition of "resale value" is not the market value of the player during the end of his contract, but the market value of the player if he fails miserably 1 year after joining us. Take Anita for example, even if he is a miss, we can still easily recoup 4m since he is relatively young and is still a Dutch international. On the other hand, if Debuchy is a miss, he actually worth nearly nothing since he is already 28 years old with the risk that he may not perform that well again. I am with Ashley this time. Too much to take if the fee is anything higher than 6m.

His primary position would be left back, and will instate as holding midfielder when Tiote is injured. I really can't see us going for Debuchy again. A new CB e.g. Douglas and another striker would be more likely IMO. Remember we still have Simpson and Raylor as back up this season. good signing anyway.

That's it for Debuchy. Obviously it's 1 out of these 2 for the right back spot.

"Good old days" FFS.

both Cisse n Carroll has to play as a main striker and the fact that one has to sit on the bench already make this a bad deal.

This is a disaster, both for the club and for this thread.

Please, God, no.

28m and we can start prelim discussion.

No problem for us. Just plain stupid imo.

The problem is AC Milan wont buy him after the loan deal. He is just a signing to please the fans now. One year later his value would drop even further and I don't think this will bring Liverpool any good.

Only Manchester United would suit him well in EPL.

i am pretty sure de jong can only join them. We definitely would not meet the 15m demand. That's crazy.

No problem, Gameiro again. Next.

But that's a team in Bundesliga. Other than Bayern they rarely spend such a large amount on 1 player.

I simply don't think they will spend 10m on a player.
