Agreed, getting rid of Skrtel and Balo would piss me off. Especially Skrtel. He still has a lot of value and has been loyal to the club. He's a top CB, I don't care what anyone says. He's not a sexy choice, but he gets it done.

Why aren't we ever linked with Benteke? Why isn't anyone for that matter?

I'd sign him for 30M in a heartbeat. He's way more than just a dominant force in the air. Dude has added a lot to his game the last 2-3 years.

I like Origi, and would like to see him get spot time, but that is about it. Let Borini/Lambert go, get another striker, and then focus on defensive players. I always forget Can is a MF guy. I also enjoyed Lallana and Allen's play, but Allen I don't think is our answer to the midfield woes.

If we could put Sterling (if we pay him) on the left, Hendo and Can in the middle two slots, and Lallana on the right (or Ibe), with Coutinho/Balo/Studge up top, I would be a happy man.

Of course that depends on how many defenders we bring in this transfer window. To me, that is our most glaring weakness right now. We have 2 guys that are usually solid (Skrtel/Can), one of them always being an anchor for the defensive end (Skrtel). Everyone else is absolute garbage on the back line.

Sakho is crazy and makes stupid decisions. Toure? Lovren can't shoot or defend, but has played better than normal the past two games. Johnson is terrible unless he pushes forward (he is generally good when he is high up and making runs). Who else do we have to defend? I don't even consider Manquillo a part of the squad...

It is abysmal, and I consider it to be the PRIMARY reason we play so many people out of position, i.e. Hendo.

Spurs fans seem to think he's a target for them

Benteke is a fricking beast. Belgium may have made a run to the WC final with him in the lineup.
