      Individual players aside, what the team (not the squad) desperately needs is some power and physicality. I don't watch much foreign football, so I'll keep my suggestions to the Premiership.

      We obviously need a striker and I'd move heaven and earth to get either Berahino or Bony. Both would score heavily in a red shirt and are made of the right stuff.

      We need a midfielder who can step straight in. Morgan Sneiderlyn is the obvious pick, followed by James Milner.

      We need a keeper, and if it's doable we should get Cech, if not Begovic.


      Do I think any of those will happen? No.

      Still pisses me off.
      How the F**k did we raid Southampton and not come away with Schneiderlin?
      F***ing morons.

      F**k me, the more I think about Schneiderlin, the more I question Rodgers and the committee. Seriously, Schneiderlin was the only player we needed at Southampton.

      Lacazette, Pogba, and Cech would do for me, but we won't get any of them. More realistic options that I'd be happy enough with are:

      Huntelaar/Soldado
      Cabaye/Khediera
      Leno/Adler

      Valdes (free)
      Khedira (15 mill)
      Cabaye (loan)
      Origi (give Lille lambert or Borini in exchange for releasing Origi early)
      Vlaar (6/8 mill)
      Recall Illori and Coates from loans.

      he has already had a guts full of owners like these and he wouldn't come here just for the sake of it ,it would have to be on his terms so bye bye committee bye bye Ayres.You know how much I want him back but not at any cost I don't want his legacy tarnished we saw what they did to Kenny and that for me is still unforgiveable

      This is what really annoys me, how dare you compere FSG to those despicable cu*ts Hicks and Gillet!! FSG rescued us from going under as a club and have pumped plenty of money into the club, the fact that its mostly been squandered by Kenny/Comolli and now Brendan is not directly their fault.
      I would welcome rafa back with open arms and why would he not fit the bill, he has demonstrated before that he can work miracles with a limited budget but Liverpool do spend money , its a myth that we don't.

      I`d take Asmir Begović the keeper and Shawcross from Stoke ,then Cheikhou Kouyaté from West Ham dont know if £25Million  would be enough ?
      TBH the players we need dont cost £25 million we would have to spend mega bucks and sell our duds to boot

      I think 3 signings at 8m each is the LAST thing we need. 8m gets you a relegation team player, or even a Championship player. And players make teams.

      This is especially true given Fenway's vampire like view of cutting wages... for their own arsepocket.

      Begivic has been poor this season and the other two I wouldn't want next or near this club. Awful small club mentality suggestions.

      Origi (give Lille lambert or Borini in exchange for releasing Origi early)
      Vlaar (6/8 mill)
      Recall Illori and Coates from loans.

      Would rather we just play Lucas than sign Khedira. Cabaye yes but only with an option to sign permanently. Valdes too much of a risk. Disagree on the other suggestions too.

      A new striker either Bony or Jackson Martinez should be our top priority.

      A new keeper to replace Jones or else two to replace both Jones and Mignolet.

      A winger with pace... Shaqiri.

      A new right back to replace Johnson... Martin Montoya.

      Buy:

      New Gk or two
      Montoya
      Cabaye (loan)
      Shaqiri
      Bony or Martinez

      Sell:

      Jones and Mignolet
      Johnson
      Allen
      Borini

      I don't think I'd sign anybody with the Jan. tax to deal with.

      And can we first see the players we've bought in the summer...

      I want to see more of Can, Markovic, Lallana. Sturridge should be back soon, and Balo needs a partner so I'm content there.

      A solid GK would be be great though

      sometimes people need reminding this club is a 5 times winner of the CL the most successful club in English football history so we are linked with John Ruddy.

      If Brendan remains in charge, no money should be wasted on transfers.
      No money should be "wasted" on transfers regardless of who the manager is! How about letting Brendan sign a world class players for once , then it wouldn't be wasted would it?

      Are you a Liverpool supporter, or are you just a Brendan hater?

      There's one or two for whom one of those options is sadly beginning to take over the other in terms of importance by quite a margin.

      To be fair Rodgers wanted Bony, Sanchez and Eriksen here. But the committee dictated otherwise. I trust him to be given license to sign a striker of his choosing. But I never want him to have control over a defensive signing ever again!
