I think the boss at Lens is right. Liverpool need an another attacking midfielder to give our forwards more supply (Owen)
(But not one of his that he's trying to flog).

You can't have loads of guns and no ammo.

As Emlyn is not available, who do think is the best choice?
Maybe we already have the right combo, but under the GH choke , never gave them a chance to succeed. Hell, look at Baros this week.

Let's play our the games in their half of the field!
The term "relentless" comes to mind.

Baraja would be great if we could get him, although the papers are hinting that it might be Angel of Malaga (who he?).

I read somewhere that Baraja is high on Benitez's list and that he is rated at 12 million pounds. A bit too steep in this kind of transfer market. I just wonder how much funds LFC has left if Cisse has been bought for 14 million, which is too exorbitant regardless if he had top scored in the French league for the past 3 season.

hello,
i am from france and all articles in the press here say that
cisse has been sold to you for 12M euros and not 14M pounds.
But it's sure that it is a bit expensive Concerning cisse he is very complementary of a player like owen. Indeed, his style looks like Nicolas Anelka, but he is fastest and has a very very powerful strike. But he doesnt has the technique of owen. I think that he will improve a lot at liverpool like thierry henry did when he came to england.

Je ne parle pas français, et emploie Google pour traduire. Liverpool n'a pas besoin d'un autre Hesky.Cisse doit marquer des buts sur ses propres qu'il doit être un sante de fève d'étoile.

Liverpool don't need another Hesky.
Cisse must score goals on his own and lots of them

Bon sante

TanguyBZH, it has been reported in the newspapers that Cisse cost 14.5 million pounds.

I just hope that he turns out good for Liverpool and that Benitez is happy with this purchase which was done by Houllier. While not belittling Cisse, we all know about Houllier's judgement ability. Too few of his signings have worked out and toomany have bombed.

I believe Benitez will improve the general level of play with a tighter midfield and which should also work hard to create more chances. No striker in this world, not even the very best striker, can excel with a poor service as those afforded by the Liverpool midfielders and the support forwards (like Diouf) over the past 2 seasons. Houllier's rigid and one dimensional tactics did not help either.

Let's hope that the incoming midfield player or players will improve the situation.

Attacking midfielder Baraja may be expensive but what about Rosicky? We've been linked with him before and looked good in Euro Champs anyone agree?

Stoking the boiler,cos without coal, there is no fire.
We really need someone to give Baros/Owen/Cisse/Diouf more ball than they can handle. Relentlessly moving from defence to offense without great holes in the middle of the Park.

Gerrard can't do it himself alone.

id try and get ballack so gerrard can be more offensive knowing he has some one who can pick him out when he makes runs, i think we need a pacey winger aswell wright-phillips or vicente would fit the bill for me

by **taff** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 8:23 pm

Totally agree wth that
Ballack and Gerrard could destroy and attack

by **LiverpoolFC_Kopite** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 3:30 am

I don't think we have a chance at signing Ballack, mainly because he will favour a move to Spain over anywhere else.

About Baraja, I heard it was a done deal, in the region of £8 million?? But Rosicky would be a good bet I reckon after seeing him play at the Euro's he has the skill to create and become the much needed playmaker.

Also Ayala was meant to be on his way as well as he wants a move to England, plus with Benitez being an ex-coach of his it would seem an ideal move.

Corradi and Fiore has moved over to Valencia. Maybe Aimar and Baraja can come over now.

Super Combo :
Aimar
Kewell Gerrard Baraja

if i had to put money on any midfielder coming to liverpool it would be xabi alonso. real sociedad are resigned to losing him and have already signed mikel arteta from rangers as a replacement. he's an exceptional talent and is only 21 years old. real madrid wanted him but only offered 6m. sociedad wanted more like 8-10m.

with benitez currently locked in a legal dispute with his former club, i can't realistically see any valencia players coming in now. ballack would be too expensive due to the fact that bayern are a massive club and would want somewhere in the region of 12m.

by **taff** » Tue Jul 13, 2004 2:03 pm

Then offer Hamman and Babbell and Biscan
