As stated in my post here a little while back, I think Remy would be the perfect striker to "lead the line" with Rodgers. He has pace, skill on the ball, and he knows where the goal is. He is even quite capable of scoring with his head (to satisfy those proponents of a "Plan B".

However, if we're going after strikers in the mold of Remy, we should really be looking at Aubameyang. The kid has pace to burn, an eye for goal, decent aerial threat, and very nice skill on the ball. He's also still relatively low-profile, which I think will be a big boost to us. He wouldn't command the high price likely for Remy. Moreover, we really don't need another protracted, high-profile transfer saga. Offer Saint Ettienne the money, sign the man, and let's all be home in time for tea, sans drama... (If only it were truly that simple.

Doubt we'll be in for Drogba. It would be funny to watch Suarez and Drogba week in week out on the same pitch though. ha

I personally wouldn't bring in Eriksen myself. We have other priorities (which is bringing in a goalscorer) and our midfield is quite stuffed. He's a great player with a lot of potential but I wouldn't splash the bank for him.

completely agree with above posts about drogba...Drogba might be forced to fit in BR system, but short term solution of Drogba, will not be good because who knows it might affect the money we will spend in Jan for our preferred target...plus unfortunately if he gets injured it might backfire
instead I will prefer giving chances to players like yesil, ngoo and morgan for the all the matches till we buy someone else in January...

speaking about Jan target, after reading about remy in this thread I have alsó tried reading about him, I also think he will be a good choice because of his pace, ability in air and can create his own chance by himself...scoring 20 goals in 42 games when Marseille did not have such a great season last year, 13 winless games in the second half!!!

Who do you think will be sacrificed if we buy a new striker.

Suarez on the right/left wing?
Cut out a center midfielder?

Why do people go on about Demba Ba's knee issues like it's a fact he has issues Laughing

He has hardly missed a game since joining us for anything much less being a "ticking time bomb".

Anyway Ba is very egotistical and will want to be a central striker and that would mean Suarez moved out wide would you want that?

Also you was linked with Cisse today with the report citing lack of playing opportunities rofl

He was benched for one game Laughing not to mention you can buy Ba for 7m and Cisse will cost what ever we deem necessary.

Ba is egotistical Laughing

How can someone with such a cherubic smiles who recites nostalgic stories about the origin of his love for syrup be egotistical?

No one is stopping Pardew from benching him or selling him. He stopped playing him on the wing because that was a massive failure.

Yh 7 wins in a row was such a huge failure Laughing

Why you think we play 4-3-3 in Europe when Ba is rested and 4-4-2 in the league when he's back?

Since Ba started moaning about playing on the left he hasn't played there since Pardew has admitted that he doesn't like playing there and he promised he would play centrally in the summer to get him to stay.

He's far from the angelic figure he portrays himself as...... also in that 7m get out clause there's another clause that 3.5m of the 7m goes straight to him.

Also he can't really drop him when he's scoring all the goals atm but in the process he is restricting our best players and making us play like crap.

We know we can't afford Cavani. That's why we don't even discuss it Very Happy . As for JoJo, I think around €30m should suffice and that's something we can afford. So far it's only a personal wish to see him at Anfield, we haven't been linked to these guys in any way, shape, or form.

Loic Remy would be a fantastic signing for Liverpool if you guys are in need of a CF, and it seems you are. A very well rounded forward, would fit right in with Liverpool IMO.

Just 2 weeks ago by the way, not sure of the credibility however:

Loic Remy may be way forward for Liverpool

Because we've had a bit of a history with players that seem to be fit suddenly having relapses/freak incidents with their injury problems after signing for us. We're (or at least I'm) not suggesting he's a "ticking time bomb" injury-wise, I'm just playing up out previous poor luck.

We all talk about in here how we would rather see Suarez played on the wing cutting in, because it gives him more space to work with and lets him avoid the big CBs that can bully him off the ball. Rodgers doesn't do it because he wants to have Suarez run the attack and get as many touches as possible, but a CF wouldn't disrupt the team that badly. Look at the list above, there are many CFs that we're discussing and have on our wishlist.

Secondly, talking about Newcastle's record to defend one player's performance is a non sequitur, as you very well know. Not having watched many of Newcastle's games while Ba was on the wing, I can't comment on it myself - but I do distinctly remember you complaining for the entire second half of last season about how Ba had been ineffective after he was moved for the sake of Cisse. If you want I can find you posts. The point is that Newcastle could most certainly have won 7 games in a row while having one player in a run of poor form. The argument was fallacious.

Ba was poor in front of goal but his all round play was arguably better.

Also i was never complaining about the ineffectiveness Ba i was complaining about going back to 4-4-2 to get him a goal when it was obvious 4-3-3 suited the team as a whole.

It allowed us to play 3 in the middle, push Cabaye and Ben Arfa forward while having a perfect balance with Tiote and Jonas in a pivot and Cisse the freedom of the front line.

It was perfect for the team even if it wasn't for Ba and it's not like he didn't get chances to score he just missed them.

I'd love us to go back to that tbh as despite Ba scoring atm the rest of the team is unbalanced and restricted and quite frankly it's like watching shit on a pavement go hard atm.

Anyway i'll leave that now and you can go back to your transfer rumors Razz

Take it with a grain of salt, guys, but there's a user (who has been confirmed by the mods) on the subreddit /LiverpoolFC who is a former youth player at the club. He's answered quite a few questions while remaining anonymous; apparently he got an injury and retired from playing, but is still around the game a lot and knows people working at LFC still.

He says that Walcott is at the top of Rodgers' wish list, and that everyone he knows around the club is of the opinion that the signing will either happen or BR will be rebuffed trying VERY hard. Apparently Cole, Enrique and Downing will all look to be sold, with Cole very much so heading up that list. Again, seeing as how he's an "anonymous source," feel free to take it however you want, but from what I've seen he's been pretty well confirmed in the past.

If any of that is true then it's FANTASTIC news.

We all want to get rid of Downing and Cole. I rather play with 10 men than have these guys playing at all. As for Enrique, I'm very much indifferent. Couldn't give two f*cks if he's sold and vice-versa, he's been so average after that great start for us that I have no attachments to him and we would do well to sign a better LB.

And Theo hasn't signed a contract extension with Arsenal, so he would be around 10m, which is very cheap for his quality. I would love him at Anfield but not for anything more than that.

I don't understand why we'd sell Enrique.

He was overplayed last year and was fatigued come the end of the season resulting in a bad slate of form. He's picked up an injury in pre-season and is currently getting back into the team.

Robbo isn't ready and Glen is a lot more effective on the right. Don't really want us to sign another LB either (even if he is sold) as we do need players in the final third to help support Suarez.

Pooi whatever money we sell Enrique for we can use it to sign another LB. It shouldn't really be a problem of money. I'm sure BR has scouted multiple LBs already and they could even be cheaper than Jose.

Huntelaar is WC finisher. We could do younger but if he comes cheap than I wouldn't mind really.

It's not about the money though. It'd be a waste of time looking for another player when it's not needed. We need to go out and find an attacker and focus on the games in January. There are more priorities than finding a LB. We can't spend too much times looking for potential targets as the season is still on. If Enrique is to be sold, it should be done in the summer.

I'm not too sure why Enrique is single handedly at fault his performances from the second half of the last season. EVERYBODY in the squad was below par and Enrique was getting tired due to him not being rotated and playing nearly every game when available last year. I mean, last year people on this forum and people from other clubs regarded him as arguably the best LB in the league.

__
I'm personally sitting on the fence with Huntelaar. Whilst he has a great game to goal ratio, I do feel he is abit over rated by people on this forum.* Granted the forum has probably seen more than I have, I don't feel Hunterlaar can play as a "link up forward" that Rodgers wants from his forward. He does get into great positions and he's movement is good, but I'd much rather someone that would suit Rodgers playing style and be able to score. Feel free to educate me if you've seen him play and he can be able to adapt to a passing type forward but from what I've seen (it's only 4-5 games; not a good way to judge a player) he doesn't seem like one to me.

*I am not saying he is a bad player - he is very good.

His real value is around £15-20m, but with his contract is running out in the summer, Schalke will have to let him go in Jan for a very cheap price, I'm thinking £8-10m. Which we should jump for if presented with an opportunity. Heck for £8m he could chill out on the bench and I wouldn't give 2 f*cks.

Charlie Adam and Jose Enrique cost us £7m each ffs. Don't tell me you wouldn't take the Hunter for around that price even if all he does is sell shirts. Thumbs up

Same with Walcott by the way. Contract issues so we could possibly get him for less than £10m and be happy with it.
