These owners bloody well fork out some serious wonga in the next 2 transfer windows... otherwise I can see some fans starting to grumble. Feel sorry for Rogers. Here he is trying to breathe life into our style of football and yet the owners expect him to essentially turn things around with minimal funds.
i`ve started getting a bit of renewed hope, i watched a clip of rodgers pre chelsea game press conference on sky sports news last night and the reporters started quizzing him on the possibility of torres returning to anfield in january, rodgers didnt answer them, he just laughed and went all coy.
it was the same face that he pulled when someone asked him if we were interested in walcott/sturridge last summer and by all accounts we were.
now i know torres isnt the same player he once was and i know he signed for chelsea but i for one would have him back, i`d rather have torres back than sign the likes of ba, sturridge and hooper.
according to the normally reliable echo huntelaar isnt coming here either so torres looks a decent option at the moment.
imagine if torres was just suffering from a confidence crisis and he hit form again? with an inform torres and suarez the sky would be the limit.
how about this for a team.....
reina
johnson skrtel agger enrique
lucas allen/sahin
gerrard/suso
sterling/walcott torres suarez
if those players hit any type of form thats potentially a title winning side imo, and although i dont think rodgers has worked out how to break teams down with this philosophy of his i think the likes of torres, suarez, walcott, sterling etc would find a way.
torres is very good in the air (some of his best goals for us were headers like the one at old trafford or the one against blackburn where he outjumped chris samba) so we could afford to throw crosses into the area even if defences are back and set.
all this talk of signing the likes of hooper, ba and sturridge got me down a bit but this has given me a bit of hope, i`ve probably been a bit over critical of rodgers (but he has made f**k ups) and i should wait to see who we bring in in january before criticising anymore.
in the press conference he mentioned trying to get deals done in the first week that it opens so he obviously knows himself that we desperately need strengthening.
