Prospective Loan canidates?

I think our goal creating & scoring potential is pretty much restricted within Carroll (yet to hit form), Suarez (facing 8 match ban), Bellamy (too old) & Gerrard (just back from long lay-off).

The likes of Adam (too inconsistant), Shelvey (too young) and Kuyt & Maxi (too old) can't be expected to do the job every week.

There is a genuine lack of attacking threat is you consider we are in a five-way tussel for top-4 finish.

I would like to see a goal-threat winger come into the team at some point. A player in the mold of Flaurent Malouda could do wonders in taking the burden off of Suarez and Carroll to score.

Possible examples:
Iker Munian
Xherdan Sahqiri
Lukas Podoski
Marco Reus
Eden Hazard

Roma have been linked with Guarin....They offered 8 mill but Porto want 12mill.......Comolli, u fat bastard, there's our chance, u better be watching mmmmkay. And 12mill is nada compared to what we've paid for Hendo, Carro and Downo mmmkay

You know, last summer I really hoping we would sign some one from German League. Not just Dortmund or Leverkusen, most of the teams have a core of talented young players.

I would've actually liked Renato Agusto but we splashed on Hendo and Downing aready so i don't see it happening.

One of the Bender bros for Lucas' back up would be nice mmmmmkay

by Red Alert Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:22 am

Won't get a Bender brother.

Bent is growing on me. Only way I'd bring him in if he is bought without a player getting sold.

by xYNWA Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:27 am

We should buy Yann M'Vila or Fernando Reges, Jorge Fucile, and Soldado.

Speaking after the 3-0 defeat by Manchester City, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish says he won't be looking to buy a replacement for Luis Suarez after the club decided not to appeal against the striker's eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra.

Smokescreen for Darren Bent.

Suarez (creator); Bent (finisher)

:dance:

by BeautifulGame Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:42 am

We dont need a DM.Spearing is doing a fine job.And if we spend 15-20 on a DM like Bendter or M'Ville what exactly are we gone do with them when Lucas returns?

I would prefer to buy a clinical finisher or a good winger for that money.That would do us a world of good IMO

by Red Alert Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:49 am

Rumours with Hoilett. Really hoping they're true. Fantastic prospect, and would be way more efficient than anyone else in our side as we have no other NATURAL right wingers.

Hoilett + Bent would be orgasmic. Twisted Evil

by iftikhar Wed Jan 04, 2012 12:51 pm

Bent is good player, but I think he is some what over-rated. He will cost an insane amount of money and will be in & out with injury.

But yes, we do need a striker who will fill-in till Carroll hits form.

@BG: you can't expect to go half the season with just one DM. Specially when we are aiming top-4 and already trailing with our competitors.

I don't think Bent is moving anywhere, Villa paid some £20m for him only a year ago, they would not sell for less than that and no one's paying more than that.

I think we have to stick with Carroll and buy no striker. The man cost us £35m, for Pete's sake! Can't afford to buy another striker and put him ahead of Carroll in pecking order.

And I think we can go half a season with just Spearing. Lucas made 33 BPL appearances last season, so I don't see why we couldn't go half a season with one DM.

according to twitter ( red will love this ) Bent is indeed coming to liverpool and will be announced in 2 weeks time.

Although the fee is reported to be 24m..

No way that's happening, why would Aston Villa sell him for the price they bought him for only a year ago? x)

by BeautifulGame Wed Jan 04, 2012 4:31 pm

Aston Villa ITK has been apparently indicating heavily he is coming to Liverpool.Read it on their forum.He also knew Bent moving to Villa from Sunderland last january before the news broke out.

by Red Alert Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:50 am

@ Art:

Bent has had problems with McLeish. Wants to leave them.

@ RG / BG

Great news! Very Happy

by poolsupporter Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:14 am

On the fence regarding a move for Bent.

We're going to need a ton of beach balls at Anfield.

by BeautifulGame Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:41 am

^ I too am on the fence regarding Bent andfee will be the biggest issue for me.We definitely need a goal scorer and u cant argue with his scoring record.But 20-25 mil for a 27 year old.I am not so sure.

So if we bought him hopefully he can bang in the goals.

@Ifthikar

Ya thats why i would prefer buying versatile player on cheap like Vertenghon(Ajax) who can cover DM CB as well as LB.Spending 20 mil on a DM will be pointless im my view.

by Nishankly Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:46 am

I don't mind Bent, He is exactly the type of player we need.
But the fee does make a difference.

by McAgger Thu Jan 05, 2012 5:33 am

I'll support his ass if we buy him but i just hope to whatever high being there is to please not let this happen. He's about to turn 28 and spending anything over 10 mill on him is a loss in my eyes.
