Be the boss.. January window ITK transfer challenge (Just for fun)

Let's let our hair down a bit, sometimes it gets too serious, so just for fun and to be the ITK for a few months lets be Brendan for a few weeks leading up to January.

1. Who would you sign? If you were in charge of the transfer kitty and you could bring one player in who would you bring in? Serious, no Messi please.. Think of the way Brendan likes to play and who would suit that.. And someone who we could realistically get.

2. The ITK bit.

How many do you think we will sign?
Name names, who do you think will be our new signings come the end of the window.. Max choice 3, 3 pts for each of the ones you get right that signs.. Most points is the new LFCREDS ITK..




For me if i could sign one player it would be Walcott, i think he would suit Rodgers way, he could play off the right and centrally of the front 3 if and when needed or even within games.. Id be happy if we could pick him up.






Ill add the others later for my ITK


Who will take Exileds crown as ITK?

1. I want Huntelaar.

2. I think we'll sign 3 - Ince, Walcott, and Sturridge.

1. Huntelaar

2. Walcott and maybe Leandro Damiao

1. Walcott - was close to saying Cavani but whilst I think that could be a slight possible it's not really that realistic

2. Will add ITKs later

1. Cavani

2. Sturridge, Walcott and some GK (Begovic?)

For me if i could sign one player it would be Walcott, i think he would suit Rodgers way, he could play off the right and centrally of the front 3 if and when needed or even within games.. Id be happy if we could pick him up.

 I agree entirely but you did say who would i Bring in

1 Walcott.... I would like Iker Muniain, but you said be realistic.


ITK
2 Ince and either Walcott OR Sturridge, just 2 signging

PS: Thanks for this thread Paisleydalglish, a bit of lightheartedness. Its been like WW3 on here lately.

Cavani or Ba

Huntelaar
or
Falcao. Go on FSG   Break the Bank ..but you wont.

Dont want Sturridge ...if that good RB will keep him    .. if Walcott was that good ...why don't Arsenal keep him ? Ah? Por Qua Mr Podolski ? Another one we missed.

Will throw a sneaky one out there David villa ,not getting game time at barca and not likely too with Messi ruling the roost. Would think Walcott would do well for us him one side and Sterling the other would give us some serious pace going forward, cant see us adding any defenders ,the kids are showing up well and will only improve with the experience around them,

1. Cavani

2.Bent
3.Ince

1 Hueng Min Son

2Just to see the headline GOALS BY SUAREZ AND SON

Messi


No but seriously

1. Walcott
2. Bent
3 Sturridge

I'd have Lavezzi to play left of Suarez and Sterling if I was boss.

Who I think we will sign?

Sturridge.

Who I think we will sign?

Sturridge.

Lavezzi isn't getting regular footy at PSG as well but would need a big bid

Sturridge.

Lavezzi and Cavani, Uruguayan front 3 would be awesome, of course it wont happen despite me trying all kinds of rituals.

ITK

Sturridge
Ince
Son

Great thread nice to change the mood.

Isn't Lavezzi from Argentina ?

He is indeed.

He is indeed.

Has he been injured or just not playing enough at PSG ?

South American Shmerican, go and learn your Italian / French before you pull me up on more obvious mistakes, ok bonjourno!

It's Greek I will have you know

If we're going to get it right it's buongiorno

1. Yarmolenko

2. Think we'll sign three players - Ince, Walcott and Ba.

Er none, no value in transfer market, that'll be the excuse again!

Walcott and Cavani would be sooooooooooo sweet!

Who would I sign - Cavanni

Who might we sign  - Walcott and Bony

Would love Cavani but realistically

Walcott Bony and a long shot of Tello

If we get any two of those ill be happy

Er none, no value in transfer market, that'll be the excuse again!

We have our winner 







Just to check those who have said Bent... Is that Darren? Marcus? Phil Neville?

 John Henry on the phone to Brendan when Brendan told him he could sign a topline striker and would John authorise someone to sign the cheque,John's reply was who the fu*k do you think you are Bill Shankly.

Honestly, don't think anyone will agree with me but I would sign Charlie Austin from Burnley in a heartbeat.  Been a fan of this guy for a long time and as he keeps moving up a level he is still banging them in.  In fact I think he's getting better and better and would score goals for us.  Wouldn't have to pay over the odds to get him either.

As for who I think we'll sign, I reckon it'll only be one - Daniel Sturridge

1. Cavani.

2. 3 signings Cavani included
Walcott, Huntelaar

We have our winner 







Just to check those who have said Bent... Is that Darren? Marcus? Phil Neville?

Liverpool sign Bent!!

I'd sign Max Clayton.

Who I think we'll sign Redmond, Butland, Zaha.

Walcott, Sturridge and one other player ( I'll name later )

Right watch this folks...

I predict we'll sign no one from the Premier League at all. I predict we will sign someone from the Bundesliga, but not Huntelaar.

And someone from Holland and someone from Russia.

Three signings, no big names.

Seeing Ince floated around... we're linked with him? Or do we have a clause to get him back?

He has looked very good for them this year

Seeing Ince floated around... we're linked with him? Or do we have a clause to get him back?

We're linked with him for 5m.

1. "Who would you sign? If you were in charge of the transfer kitty and you could bring one player in who would you bring in?" - Falcao
2. "The ITK bit... How many do you think we will sign?" - Three.
"Name names":
Walcott
Huntelaar
Ince

We're linked with him for 5m.

We get part of their sale value, so will work out less than the quoted figure.

Realistic "dream signing": Jovetic
(Not a chance will will fork another 35 million on a striker - Cavani,  until we a) Sell Carroll b) have a good season, where FSG know they wont fire the manager at the end of the season.)

Realistic 3:
Dzeko
Walcott
Zaha

1. Gaitan

2. Beric
    Hooper
    Ince

1) Isco, Jovetic, Walcott

2) Ince, Sturridge, someone from Holland

Liverpool sign Bent!!

I've looked at this picture 20 times and just now realized why you posted it.

Yes, I can be thick at times.

Honestly, don't think anyone will agree with me but I would sign Charlie Austin from Burnley in a heartbeat.  Been a fan of this guy for a long time and as he keeps moving up a level he is still banging them in.  In fact I think he's getting better and better and would score goals for us.  Wouldn't have to pay over the odds to get him either.

As for who I think we'll sign, I reckon it'll only be one - Daniel Sturridge

I'd sign Charlie Austin mate.

Austin, Walcott and Ince would do me.  In fact 2 of the 3 would do me.

Cavani would be me dream signing (think we have a slight chance of getting him in summer but it is only slight I'm affraid!)

As for how many we'll really bring in think it may depend on if any leave. I'll say this I think we'll av 2 or 3 more players on our squad list than is currently there. So if two leave think we could see as many as 4 or 5 coming in. If that's the case I think at least 2 will be loanees.

1. Long. Throw him in as I thought we should have gone for him when he was with Reading in Championship, has proved to me what I thought in the highest division. Knows where the back of the net is, good in the air as well as on the floor. His movement is impeccable and I think amongst better players he will thrive. Only year and half left on his contract.

2. Lallana. I see lots of quality in this lad, it's a position we need a player who can not only unlock defences but also add 10-15 goals a season from. I believe in a few years he will be at a 'big' club and would like us to steal a march on others. Can operate on left side or behind front man. Two and half years left on contract come Jan.

3. Lescott (people will  hate me with him being an ex blue nose), but out of favour at current club. Would come in and give good competition to Agger/Skrtel (not enough true competition to make them think they'll be dropped). Would provide quality 3rd cb if we go with wing back formation like we've been toying with this year. Year and Half left on contract come January. Negative point on him is his age.

Others I considered in terms of squad strenthening James Forrest, Andre Ayew, Mathieu Debuchy.

I don't see big names coming in January, I think the summer will hopefully bring in the players we crave. I doubt very much any of the above will sign. But was getting bored of the different posters choosing 3 of Sturridge, Huntelaar, Walcott, Ince! So thought I'd spice things up a bit.

 

1. Huntelaar

2. I think we will aim to sign Sturridge (although I don't particularly want him!) and Walcott.
