re: OFFICIAL Liverpool FC 2014-2015 Season Long Thread

IMO he's technically superior to Sterling (even now)... He needs to add more goals to his game..

I think he'll see more than spot duty, but it all depends on how well he acclimates to the EPL.. He's a bit small so there is no guarantee he will straight away, but I can see him having a Coutinho like impact straight away... Anyway, one of those 4 will most likely see the bench every game, no way we can accommodate all four... again, nice problem to have...

I'm really anxious to see who we bring in at CB and LB... I'm thinking RB will be by committee of Johnson, Flanagan and Wisdom. Hopefully Johnson has a fire lit under him in a contract year, so to speak.. I think Sakho really takes it to the next level too and becomes the player we saw in Brazil..

edit: Just read a report saying Wisdom maybe loaned to WBA for the season..

I don't know. I know I haven't seen a ton of him other than mostly highlights, but a lot of what he shows is pace on the break where he'll certainly fit in well with us. But I thought Sterling showed a lot this past year. I know I was very skeptical when BR moved him to the hole, but he really impressed me with his ability to maintain position in tight spaces and pick out passes. That said, I still prefer Coutinho in the middle.

And I think we'll be fine without Wisdom. I'd like if he got games at CB though. I know Glen can be frustrating as hell sometimes, but he's still prolly our best fullback in the squad. Plus Flanagan and Kelly with McLaughlin from the academy able to cover in if we're desperate. Still think we need more cover at LB. I'm perfectly ok with Enrique being our starter if he's healthy, but that's no guarantee and Flanagan was fine there, but I'd prefer a true LB.

The preseason tour will be interesting to see a lot of our fringe guys trying to fight to see if they deserve time in Cups or all the extra games we'll be playing in or if their time's up. Kelly, Robinson, Coady, Yesil, Coates? and of course the younger guys like Ibe, Rossiter, and whoever else we may bring.

I'd love to get Lukaku... I just wonder if CFC would sell him to us?

Be nice for the Rodgers -Mourinho connection to bear fruit. I'll take Hazard and Schurrle while we're at it.

Lukaku.... Just came everywhere

So, I'm sure you've all read the rumors late yesterday and this morning saying we are going all out on a £45mm bid for Reus?

I believe it started with someone named Kike Marin (not familair)

Tony Barrett came out this morning and said the club don' know where these rumors started... which makes me believe there is some truth to it, since when do they really comment on rumors...

Anyway, def not thinking will sign him, but we'd be stupid not to sound out him and Dortmund... would be an excellent replacement for Luis (meaning Marquee, not like for like).. and make us forget we lost out on Alexis..

I'd really like to see the Moreno deal work out. I think that could potentially do just as much good for the team as a deal for Lukaku.

frick me they just changed 10 fixture dates and times including opening day... Instead of Saturday the 16th it's now on Sunday the 17th... The day I'm leaving for California

Looks like Ayre is in Spain looking to close out Moreno at 18 which would be huge week along with Markovic. Reus....................make us dream.
