good player but we have more than enough defenders, we should be looking at center mids.

Wasn't Richards used primarily as a Right Back in his early career ? I seem to remember him marauding down the right flank a lot.

He is mainly a right back I think - seems a lot more at home at right back

In that case I think I'd rather have Richards vying with Johnson for the RB spot over any of our other current alternatives.

Ability wise I would agree - think he is a monster on the pitch, very powerful player. Just would be worried about fitness issues.

I would really like to see young McLaughlin given a go - think he has the potential to be as good as Jones

Agree about mcloulghlin. Looks like he will be a player. I'd have him on the bench now me.

If he can picked up at a bargain price Richards is a no brainer. If he is through his fitness issues. Still young and is English which fits the clubs transfer template.

I remember a few years ago before his injury problems, the man is a beast. He can play right back or as a backup Central defender and has power pace and a good head on his shoulders.

You know what, i'd take Richards and move on skrtel if a big offer came our way. Rumour is Zenit want him back and will offer £16 million in January...i'd snap their hand off.

"In the January window, you will see another great name come to Liverpool.

"I’m not going to give any clues about who it’s going to be, but there’s a big name coming to Liverpool"

According to Bruce Grobbelaar

Exactly how clued in does ANYONE think Brucie is to our transfer dealings, eh?

Missed this, in the Express the other day.

Valencia ready to offer Liverpool's Tiago Ilori January exit route

VALENCIA are plotting a January loan move for Liverpool's Tiago Ilori.

Reports in Portugal suggest that Ilori could be on his way to Spain after failing to win regular playing time at Anfield following his £7m summer move from Sporting Lisbon.

According to A Bola, Valencia are willing to offer Ilori more regular playing time during the second half of the season and hope that the presence of Portugese players Ricardo Costa, Joao Pereira and Helder Postiga will work in their favour.

While fellow new arrivals Kolo Toure and Mamadou Sakho have quickly established themselves in Brendan Rodgers first team plans, 20-year-old Ilori is yet to feature for Liverpool this season.

Valencia are in need of defensive reinforcements with French defender Adil Rami set to join AC Milan on loan after falling out with Los Che management.

However, the financially challenged club are in no position to bring in a permanent replacement, making the prospect of taking Ilori on loan a very appealing one.

Spend £7 million on a player, don't use him then send him out on loan !

If the rumour has any substance and we accept it you have to ask WTF is going on with our transfer strategy ?

Are we just splashing cash on young players hoping that we'll unearth another of Coutinho's quality and if they don't immediately impress we move them on ?

I don't see the club saying he's going on loan....2+2 making 17, perhaps?

Yeah you're probably right, but then again this is the Rumour thread :;):

by **redno7** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 3:10 pm

ilori will be the one that got away if he goes. although I don't see him week in week out on the training ground I did see him play a few times prior to moving to Liverpool and I was very impressed.

Given the game time he will become a massive player.

by **Benny The Noon** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 7:26 pm

If he isn't going to play and it appears that way then a loan deal giving him game time wouldn't be a bad thing but to a club in this country.
