      If money was no object -

      Dossena - easily our poorest player.
      Voronin - sell him to a German team - he always does well there.
      Lucas - does not fill the boots of Alonso and we need a player of that quality in midfield.
      Riera - flatters to deceive, occasional fancy trick hides generally doing F**k all.
      Babel - see Riera.


      Sell that lot for around 300 million and buy a good DM (to fit Rafa's 2 holding midfielders) , a proper left winger and another striker to back up Torres.

      That'll do me.




      Oh, and build the F***ing stadium with the profits.   ;)

      Voronim and Babel to go, surely there are some better strikers out there to offer support for Torres.

      Sell Dossena and Voronin - would get around 8-12m for both I would imagine.

      If that happens I'm sure Rafa will try and bringing in another striker, who though......I got no idea

      Stuart Holden or Landon Donovan, both are good wingers, Holden is young, and has a UK passport (Dads from Scotland) he is quick fit and has a sick cross, Landon is very similar, both would be cheap options and add cover... both are international players, the only reason I would go with Holden is because of the price tag and the passport and age

      I'm going to stick my neck out and say this isn't a bad suggestion.

      Ok so he's knocking on a bit but his fitness is top notch and his range of passing is still second to none.

      His dead ball ability also speaks for itself.

      Said exactly the same myself in the summer window, I also mentioned Viera to add some quality and depth to our squad and maybe do a Gary Mac, alas he's going to Arsenal, but I would not Complain if Beckham came even if just to rub the Manc's noses in it :)

      If you ask me, we need to keep the players we have at the moment. It's not what we want but it's probably the only choice we have unless we have 50 million to spend in January.

      There's no point is saying 'Sell Voronin, Babel, Riera and Dossena for 15 million and buy another player'. Mainly because we're gonna to lose four players to get one. I know, most of us wouldn't cry if four of them left but they're the only covers we have at the moment.

      However, I'd listen to offers for them, especially Dossena and Voronin next summer.

      Surely it should be who should we buy not who should we sell? Sums up our mentality at the moment.

      There's no point is saying 'Sell Voronin, Babel, Riera and Dossena for 15 million and buy another player'.

      I thought about this a lot and took into consideration the 12 million or so it was reported we would receive in January.

      I would not sell Babel as at the moment he could provide cover on the right hand side and as back up striker.

      Riera I'd offload for 10 million

      Dossena I'd offload for 4 million

      Voronin I'd offload for 4 million

      Add that to the 12 million we are supposedly receiving thats 30 million.

      Buy a wide left player to replace Riera ala David Silva or some one of his quality.

      Dossena would not be missed as we have Aurelio and Insua in that position.

      Voronin would not really be missed as we have Babel N'Gog Torres and Gerrard in that position and he's hardly a massive goal threat is he ?

      So in theory you are selling two players where you have adequate cover who in all fairness won't get much game time or be hugely missed, then when it comes to Riera all you are doing is upgrading him for a better player.

      I don't believe in this 12m figure. Since when did Rafa have a figure to work with? And since when has anyone from the club mentioned a figure at all?

      Doss, Riera and Voronin are the only ones i'd listen to for offers.

      Voronin and dossena combined for 6-8 mil plus the 12 mil transfer budget thats about 20 mil... Is that not enough to get two quality players?

      Ridiculous - I love these posts where fans say just sell him without giving any thought as to the replacement or the discruption / balance of our team etc.


      Good.

      Sell the lot.
      Sell Anfield for developement.
      Look down our sofas for any small change.

      When and if enough ...then pay off the Yanks.


      Buy some old transit fans and ferry everyone to Valerie Park Prescot .

      There's been a lot of talk about offloading riera. Why Riera, IMO he's been brilliant since he arrived. I think sell Dossena and Voronin - that's all. Insua should play left back while Aurelio Left mid.

      Hicks and Gillett sold first.

      After that - I don't think we're in any position to deplete our squad any further.  Sure - if somebody wants to give us a fair few million for Babel he can go. Voronin is also surplus to requirements.  Degen - Donate him to medical science?

      I'm more interested in us bringing in a couple of players who will tilt us the title - the kind of Ronny Rosenthal/David Speedie buy that did the jobs all those years ago.

      Sell Torres and Gerrard. Buy Tranmere. Rename it Liverpool B and get Rafa the proper way to bring on the young players.
      Plus when the first team goes bust we might have a good young team playing attractive football >:D


      Oh wait, this isnt the knee jerk thread.
