      Was it in this thread that someone was saying Wilshere is no better than Henderson? Scandalous. Just Wilshere turning in a motm performance tonight gives him an edge over Henderson who I don’t recall ever being above a 7/10.

      Don’t mean to bash the lad, I like his commitment and energy but he is a far cry from that quality. Would put Wilshere in the same bracket as Lallana. We could do a lot worse than bringing him in. Not that it would happen.

      If you think Wilshire and Lallana are the same bracket then you don't deserve to have your opinion taken seriously.

      Based on a handful of performances in what, 4 years? Give it a rest

      No idea if reliable.

      Now that we've brought the first choice, this one looks far more interesting for the future.

      From what I've read this is more a summer signing. Apparently Dortmund want him aswell but they want him in January where we would wait till the summer. So wether we have made an agreement with Basel to buy him now and let him stay at Basel till the summer seems more likely.

      Carrasco is available in January. Usually operates on the left of midfield

      Says you.

      In terms of quality, yes. As our friend has pointed out above he has not played a whole lot of games in the last few years. Regardless, he is a better player than Henderson when he is fit, i’m sure most would agree.

      I really don't rate him, he is not a flexible wide player and seems very one dimensional everytime I have seen him play, very much like your Lennon and Wright-Phillips type.

      Fair enough, I remember him playing very well for Atletico in their latest Champions League run but I haven't watched him regularly in a while. Just thought it was an interesting name we may consider if we indeed lose Coutinho, but I think our top target would still be Lemar

      Yeah, watched him during that run too and leagues games and wasn't overly impressed,I just think he relies on his pace and doesn't have a great end product, but then again, he is only 24 I guess.

      But then again, I rated Lucas and Spearing whilst a lot didn't, so maybe he is good and I just don't like his style of play :D

      Genuinely surprised people think Henderson is better than Wilshere (even as Liverpool fans) but there you go.

      Accidentally plussed you (merry Christmas) but Wilshere and Lallana aren’t fit to be mentioned in the same sentence.

      I’m not Henderson’s biggest fan but that’s an insult to say he’s not better than Wiltshere (yes I spelled it that way on purpose).

      I'm not Wilshere's biggest fan and I can tell you that I disagree. I'd straight swap them for sure.

      Couldn't agree more.

      He has the more flashy touches in him but Henderson is a far better all round footballer.

      We are heavily linked with Grotezka these past days, many think he's our next transfer target.

      I wouldn't mind him, he's a class act.

      Grotezka.

      If Coutinho goes in the summer (I'm not accepting we will sell him in Jan), I think Christian Pulisic would be better than Lemar. He's already a superstar and has provided his talent against some of the best teams in Germany and Europe.

      Goretzka sounding like a done deal for the summer, right?

      Is the lad any good?

      An immediate upgrade on Can.  Emre is decent, and his size and strength make him a unique asset, but Leon is a more natural CM.  I'm hesitant to say it, but he's probably the closest thing to a young Steven Gerrard that I've seen in ages....

      Goretzka is 5cm taller than Can as well.
      Agree about him an upgrade. No doubt about that.
