LFCMike Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 1 hour ago, LFCMadLad said: It’s now becoming embarrassing that some of our own fans, after 2 years of being told, and after witnessing our style under Klopp, are still hoping for a DM to be signed. KLOPP DOESNT PLAY WITH ONE! HE DOESNT USE A DM! HES ACTUALLY SAID IT HIMSELF! Are you trying to say that he's never played with one, even before here? Because he has, so it's not unreasonable to think, or hope, that we will eventually sign a proper midfield destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 20, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 20, 2017 Left back to replace Baines by the start of next season. Centre back with some pace to partner Keane. Defensive/ball playing midfielder to replace Barry if Schneiderlin can't get his shit together. Attacking midfield including wide players I have no clue because we already have too many players there but none that can consistently deliver. Striker most of all obviously. A bit of this could possibly be solved by fixing Coleman, Bolasie, Funes Mori and Barkley if he ends up staying whilst also recalling Dowell and Onyekuru if they keep impressing.

Dave Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 For the third time in the last four years we now need to pay a premium to sort the problems we were meant to adress in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 @Batard I genuinely thought the opening post about Van Aanholt going City was a joke. Absolute scenes if we can make a profit on him. Good player when focused but throws his toys out the pram too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted November 21, 2017 Administrator Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just now, Batard said: Where would Redmond fit in, unless he’s selling a forward or two? On the wing. Puel has played Mahrez more centrally at times which then leaves only Albrighton and Gray as our wingers. Something tells me he's not too much a fan of Albrighton as Chilwell has played on the left wing (albeit for only one game) ahead of him. Having said that, we need to get rid of Ulloa anyway. Should have been gone on the summer when Iheanacho was signed. He's like our 5th striker now after Vardy, Okazaki, Iheanacho and Slimani. I've said for ages that Ulloa and Musa need selling. The latter made our u23 squad last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter made our u23 squad last night He played Redmond centrally in a diamond at Saints but I make you right: shoe in for Albrighton. He’s not as quick as he was and Redmond is the better finisher and potential to be so much more. I would say Albrightons delivery is better though. Speaking of Musa, I completely forgot he was there! Talk about bombed. Surprised he hasn’t orchestrated a move away yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted November 21, 2017 Administrator Share Posted November 21, 2017 Albrighton's crossing is superb. But we don't play to his strengths in that crossing in to Vardy and Okazaki against tall centre backs isn't too effective! Musa nearly got a move to Hull. Sadly didn't go through.

Don't think he's a particularly high quality player but generally a solid 6/7 out of 10 a game player, bit of a Milner. He isn't producing enough this season though and Puel's been vindicated in his decision to play Gray over him already. Absolutely no idea how Ulloa got a new deal. The bloke's finished at this level. Musa's been a laughable signing. He's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted November 23, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 23, 2017 Musa, Ulloa and Benalouane all leaving in January supposedly. Agree on all three. Musa has been a shocking signing, Ulloa's given us a fair bit but is well past it, Benalouane is a bomb scare. God knows what we'll get for all three. We're apparently in for Jack Harrison of New York City for £6mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be against us signing Ulloa if the price is reasonable given he will have no sell on value for his next club and that he's in a similar mould to that of Benteke and Wickham. Musa is another too if it was the summer as due to his raw pace i reckon we could nurture him over time in to a good player when you factor in our team strengths but given we've got thirty days I think a new striker and a new goalkeeper have to take precedence.

I did think if any club in the league went for Ulloa it'd be you - given your desperation for strikers I could see it happening, I reckon you'd give us £5mil and I'd be happy with that. God knows why we gave him a new deal in the summer. Musa's shown the odd glimpse of quality but it's like a couple of stars in a pitch black sky. His all-round game is appalling and I can't tell if that's just what he's about or if he's got a serious confidence issue. Again, baffling how he stayed here in the summer when it was set up for him to re-unite with Slutsky on loan at Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 We have history with trying to sign Ulloa. I think we've enquired or made efforts to sign him twice at Brighton and once with yourselves. That's a similar approach we've taken with quite a lot of our signings in recent years (Mutch, Wickham, McCarthy and Puncheon immediatly spring to mind) so our scouts do like him. I think five million is more than reasonable in todays market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
