Maybe I'm in denial but I'm just hoping that before the summer is out that we go out and bring in 2 or 3 quality players like Kovacic and Yarmolenko to add a bit of creativity to the side. At the end of last season we just looked desperately short of idea's and it seemed obvious that the thing we lacked most were players who could turn a game and pull something out of the bag. In short we lacked quality.
That's why it's so surprising that our first signings this summer have been yeomen like Milner and Ings, english players aren't renowned for their creativity at the best of times and those 2 aren't even top, top english players (like Barkley, Rooney etc).
With Gerrard gone (and Sterling already having one foot out of the door) surely to Christ the club have to address the lack of creativity in the side? We didn't have much to begin with anyway and now with those 2 going the situation is becoming critical. I just hope Brendan and this transfer committee know what they are doing.

That's the thing Yakka, they don't know what they are doing. Because of the money spent by BR last summer (he went for quantity over quality as we all know. LFC only needed 2 or 3 quality with that money but we all know what happened), there is nothing left. It is still a 'sell to buy policy' at LFC because of it.

From what i've heard, Kovacic fee has been agreed, but nothing else has been finalised. BR seems to be collecting Midfielders. Anyway, Lucas is 'likely' to go as a result as BR does not rate him.

"From what I've heard..."  you've heard 'fek all' you numbnuts. Just about every post...  "From what I've heard..."   where are you hearing this cack? down the pub?

stroll on sunshine

Right, you are a F**King ******** and an idiot- just accept that alright sunny. Now you go ahead and stroll you Pr*ck.

Just about every one of your post shows that you constantly leave in cloud cuckoo land, with rose tints.   Just like you, I have an opinion, and have accepted other members opinions, without name calling etc. But you step over the line today. You are a total F**kwit.

And yes, i have contacts that are in the game and share info as much as i can. The likes of you though are incredibly stupid. Says much about the 'new' LFC fan, so just go screw yourself.

Kovavic really gathering pace mate, rumor is we have scouts at his international match tonight, that Inter want to sell him to raise money to buy players for other key areas of team

He'd be a great signing.
Surely the club will have to bring at least one exciting name in even if it's just to appease the fans after losing Gerrard and Sterling in one window.

Forever the optomist me, still hoping we will pull a real big name striker out the bag (not benteke), that is what we need, everyone knows it, so fingers crossed

[Buck Rodgers]

Kovacic is a bright player - bags of ability but will take time to settle

There are a number of young strikers around Europe that would be very good buys without the need to spend £30plus mil

[damjan193]

Kovacic is a good player but I think some of you are overrating him a bit. But, like I said, he's a good player and the fee seems about right I guess, so he'd be a good signing.

Hopefully it won't be Lucas who leaves the club and it's going to be Allen instead. But since BR is probably Allen's adoptive father, that's unlikely to happen.

What puzzles me about the Benteke link is that we have seen that target men CF's aren't really a great fit for our system. Carroll and Lambert are both good players in their own right but they struggled to fit in here.
A mobile skillfull forward like Suarez on the other hand not only fitted in perfectly but also became a Kevin Keegan type catalyst who lifted everyone else's game around him.
I know players like Luis Suarez don't grow on tree's but surely that type of mobile skillfull player should be the profile that we are after. In fact we nearly won the title so it's obvious that is the way forward.
Benteke is a decent player who knows where the net is but I just don't see him fitting in here, not unless we have a dramatic change of style anyway.

[Buck Rodgers]

Benteke is a bit more mobile than just a target player

He has bags of but at £32 mil there are a lot more suited players around

For that sort of money you could look towards players like Dzeko or Augyemng or Jackson

Even look towards youngsters like Fisher

Good player Aubameyang, however he wants a CL club and would prefer a move to Italy by the sounds of it. Dzeko another who knows where the net is but relies on service and not the most mobile of strikers around.

Benteke's pass completion ratio is particularly poor though, yes he's a handful and yes he gets on the end of things but his build up play leaves a lot to be desired.

The last thing in regards of stats I would at in regards a strikers would be pass completion - false impressions as things like knock ons etc get included

True but you only have to look at him to see he isn't the best on the deck, Carroll had more ability than him (granted Benteke is more mobile)
