Starting XI - if we have £50million to spend in the summer

would you sell Aquilani if we could generate £12-£15mill from him after this season?

Ermm...

1) We still owe Roma money.
2) They get a percentage of the transfer price.

All the money made on that transfer would go to Roma and we'd have wasted money.




p.s. I'd try bring in Silva, Turan and Alves if possible.

F**k me a whole £50m to spend, Rafa will be doing some brown nosing to get that   How about this then....

                                 Reina
               Johnson/kelly    Carra   Agger     Bale
              Maxi  Gerrard  Masch  Silva/De Maria
                         Jojanovic   Torres                             Bench; Cav Kuyt Lucas Babel Pacheco skirt the Greek

Ideally:
                      Reina
Johnson     Sotis       Agger      (Some left back)

             Gerrard      Masch
Maxi                                     Silva

              Dzeko        Torres

Not sure if £50M would get us Silva, Dzeko and a left back, though.

I would buy " some left back" as well, top player!!

Reina
Johnson - Skrtel - Agger - Vargas
Mascherano - Aquilani
Maxi - Gerrard - Suarez
Torres

That'll do.

What's Dzeko going for 20 something million? I say bring in Silva, Dzeko, Turan, Wijnaldum, and maybe Joe Cole on a free and call it an off-season.

Yeah! I'd like Joe Cole on a free. If my wish comes true and provided we don't sell anyone, we'd have a bench looking like this :

Cavalieri, Kelly, Aquilani, Lucas, Kuyt, Cole, Benayoun

I think Benayoun is going to go, he was very close of leaving in the January transfer window. I think he feels like Rafa isn't playing him in the big games. He could go for as much as 10 million though.

Always though Benayoun deserves to start games. He's one of our most creative players, IMO.

But as it's said, he's not getting younger.

Yeah, agreed. Injuries haven't helped him this season though, he was getting a good go earlier in the season wasn't he? I'd hang onto him for another season at least if we could, definitely a good impact player when he's on form.

We definitely need a left back 50 million or not, I like the look of Kolarov, Warnock is a good player but I can't see him leaving, another centre back would also bolster the squad, Simon Kjaer is a good prospect at 21. I'd be happy with our defense if we signed those two and it isn't too unrealistic.

If we did have the so called 50 million then Silva or Mata would certainly be one of the best signings possible and of course we need that second striker to partner or back up Torres, my personal choice would be someone like Chamakh or even Dzeko who's also been mentioned, I'd be happy with anyone of these.

Joe Cole is also worth a go, I'd like to suggest Jamie O'hara too, he's a talented English player that would really strengthen our central midfield and clearly he'll be looking for a club in a couple of months!

Left back and a striker would be my main target.

EDIT: Forgot Higuain, he'd be top of my list!

Would definitely not sell Aquilani ,the lad is talented and as yet has had a rough time with injury /fitness,i'd probably go for Mata and look for a good left back,then hope our academy gets it's arse in gear and promotes stars for the future

GK - Reina

RB - Johnson
CB - Skrtel
CB - Agger
LB - Insua

RM - Lennon (Spurs)
CM - Gerrard
CM - Masch
LM - Silva (Valencia)

AM - Ireland (Man City)

CF - Torres

Bench - Cav, Kelly, Carra, Aquilani, Lucas, Pacheco, Doyle (Wolves)

Lennon for the fact that he gives us blistering pace which we simply don't have other than Babel but he forgets to take the ball with him.

Silva for the fact that he's very creative and gives us options as he can play in a number of positions.

Ireland for the fact that it means Stevie can drop back and we will have another goalscorer in the side. Plus he can't spread it around the pitch like Gerrard, so that's why I'd have him behind Torres and not in the middle of the park.

Doyle for the fact that he knows how to score in the Premiership and with Nando's injury record we need somebody proven in this league and not another expensive flop like Cisse. Doyle is in the Nando mould, an honest worker who knows where the net is so we probably wouldn't have to change our system if the Irishman came in for our number 9.

-----------------Reina

Johnson-----Skrtel-----Carragher------Agger

--------------Mash-----Gerrard

Babel--------------Yossi---------- Ribery

-------------------Torres

What about Darren bent? If he goes for less than 10 I would love to see what he would do here.

               reina

johnson carra agger david luiz

        gerrard   masch
  
maxi        aquilani       mata

                

bench: kuyt, jovanovic, aurelio, lucas, skrtel.

I realise this might appear controversial. But, I'm starting to wonder if we should cash in on Torres while we can. He's been plagued by injury's this season and last. We don't have a squad big enough to give him the rest he quite obviously needs. He's an exceptional talent and one of if not the best when fully fit. That's the problem he hasn't been since our first season. If we can get any money out of our owners. That along with potentail Torres money. We might possibly gain four world class additions.

No.

would you sell Aquilani if we could generate £12-£15mill from him after this season?

sell him? In his first full game he got man o the match a goal and an assist. Ye hes been stop start but sell already?? And selling yossi to raise money doesnt make sense to me either.

Id say adryans team sounded believable, i dont want villa for 30million+, id rather see nemeth break through and make a name for himself.  But i do like silva,

No.

agreed.

No.

Why not?

Why not?

Why in the world would we sell our best player? Perhaps the best player in the world? You can't upgrade at his position, and have you not noticed what happens when he doesn't play?

Why not?

why?

Why not?

Should you even have to ask? The lad has scored 20+ goals every season he's been here despite injury, and if we indeed had 50m to spend we can buy a solid backup to take the pressure off, which would hopefully help improve fitness. The lad already is one of Liverpools greats IMO, and doesn't deserve to be shafted like that. Not to mention commercial appeal. Cashing in on him would be a huge mistake, cos nothing could match the impact he can have here long-term.

Are you expecting our owners to cough up the refinancing cash?

Completely agree with the commercial aspect.
