We won’t be getting rid any time soon True, I do not see it. Because he also is HG. But FFP wise that gives more boost. Almiron is most likely I would say.

nufcnick Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I think a quick left back is the no 1 priority now, all 4 of Liverpool’s goals last night came from the left back position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 No mention of it being a loan, so potentially looking at a full on transfer. They recall him from Forest, we buy him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 28 minutes ago, PauloGeordio said: The Howe factor! A grand total of 80 minutes between now and the end of the season as he’s “eased into our system” and “learns to understand what we demand”. Unless they’re battle ready, save them for the summer.

Unbelievable Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 We know how we roll though: we’ll try to secure long terms targets when they become available over short term needs, rightly or wrongly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Just now, r0cafella said: It’s the correct approach in this window without doubt imo. Absolutely. We’re not going down and CL seems out of sight sadly, plus the schedule is easing and players should return, so this season is now about learning lessons (squad strength and managing fitness levels) and getting ready for another push next season.

Yorkie Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I don't think it's a big deal if we wait until the end of the window and/or we only sign players based on opportunism/long-term aspirations. The fixtures between now and February aren't going to define our season; December has already done that, so tbh I don't really see the point in being reactionary.

The College Dropout Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 For back-up positions - we need to do the Brighton thing of signing cheap young players. Or even cheap older players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even cheap older players. Wanted us to do this forever now. Ashley's policy of no signings over a certain age was crazy, given some of the smart transfers we've seen over the last 15/20 years (Milner, Thiago Silva, Lallana, Ashley Young esque deals) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have provided the balance of physicality and pace which we are missing up front right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 We are in a bit of pickle tbh. This latest run of bad performances and results has really fudged up our season. Everyone knows it's down to injuries and fatigue (mostly) but this really puts a dent in our future business as well. As I've mentioned before - I'd be surprised if our new sponsorship deals does not include incentives based on CL, EL, Cups and so forth. Probably even league table. We'll have no choice IMO but to sell one or most likely two of our better players this summer to be able to give us the required FFP space to strengthen accordingly. It's a shame, and FFP is a bitch but one "bad" season really can set us back bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One ‘bad’ season shouldn’t set us back and we’ll have plenty of FFP wiggle room in the summer’ Better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think we should be singing the next JP for £5-20m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
