Strikers - the full list

ok.

We presently have...

1) Sturridge
2) Sterling (Im counting him as he has played there a lot)
3) Balotelli
4) Lambert
5) Borini
6) Origi (loan,)
7) Aspas (loan)
8 ) Yesil
9) Sinclair (loan)

Thats a lot of strikers and we supposedly don't have any.

I reckon Aspas & Borini are defo gone in summer, possibly Lambert ?

so that's 3 squad strikers to replace, youth guys like Yesil & Sinclair will hopefully step up, Origi will probably take a bit of time to settle.

So looks like we probably need 2 proven quality strikers to replace sterling who sould go back into midfield, and to fill the void left by suarez and the likes of Borini leaving.

So who ??

Flash Gordon.

Bought well over the last three years haven't we.

How many of them would you have taking the deciding penalty in a cup final?

So much Dogshit on that list it makes you want to cry

One.

And he won't be here next season and the manager plays through gritted teeth.

To be fair, I'd have either Lambert or Balo take pens any day of the week....

I was talking about Balo mate.

You could add Rickie to that as well though.

Rickie & Mad Wario both very good on penners, Id take balo 1st though.

Balo won't go unless we get a really good offer, he will stay as part of squad. I remember his agent saying he would not sell him again, thsi was his last stop. .

Who can we seriously bring in, talking at least 1 top striker.

We could end up with this.

1) Studger
2) New guy
3) Balo
4) Origi
5) New young guy if Lambo goes
6) Yesil
7) Sinclair (probably loaned out again)

Isn't Aspas averaging a goal every 70 minutes with Seville?

Is he therefore Liverpool's most prolific striker this season?

It'll most likely be Ings as #2 and #5 will be the return of Heskey, or perhaps the Championship Costa, Chris Martin... fml

I am using the OP list.

1) Sturridge Would keep even tough he is injured a lot, is world class when he plays.
2) Sterling Would keep because he is one of our better players
3) Balotelli I would keep because he has the ability to cgange a game
4) LambertWould sell because he isn't going to fit in our rebuilding plans, he doesn't offer anything we don't have
5) Borini Would sell because he constantly fails to get on the scoresheet
6) Origi (loan,)Good to have him and give him a chance here
7) Aspas (loan)Might be handy player for our carling cup games, he bagged a couple of hatricks at Sevilla on loan
8 ) Yesil Looking promising but and should be given a chance this season
9) Sinclair (loan)Don't know much about this player.

The two marked red would be my first choice to make room for 2 new strikers.

Sterling isn't a striker and shouldn't be played as a striker, his finishing is woeful at times.

For some reason I feel like Balo may be back.

Lambert is gone, Borini is gone, I have a feeling Aspas is gone after some of his comments and the fact he never adapted to this league.

Origi won't take that long to settle IMO, Sturridge will be fit by next season as he'll actually get an off-season this year and he should be able to recover.

Sinclair I'm not so sure is ready to make the step up but Yesil is showing some promise.

So to me our strikers for the start of the season will be: Sturridge, Origi, Yesil and Balo.

Would love to add a top striker to that list along with maybe one from the next level down...a good but not great one.

As to who that would be? No freaking clue.

One

I was talking about Balo mate.

No denying the man can take a penalty... Something like 28 scored out of 30 taken?

It's just a pity he couldn't hit a bull's hole with a spade, from open play... Something like 52 goals in 204 senior games?

Maybe we should keep him for our special teams squad - bring him on just for penalties.

There must be south american striker we can nab who is doing it at international level, someone who works like Fek, runs all day, tackles, shoots, scores.

Oh wait we let him goto Barca. .

ok.

1) Sturridge
2) Sterling (Im counting him as he has played there a lot)
3) Balotelli
4) Lambert
5) Borini
6) Origi (loan,)
7) Aspas (loan)
8 ) Yesil
9) Sinclair (loan)

Thats a lot of strikers and we supposedly don't have any.

Quality First Team.
Sturridge - Crocked.
Sterling


Youth/backup
Origi
Yesil
Sinclair


Sell
Balotelli
Lambert
Borini
Aspas

Plenty of work to do to get a couple of quality strikers in.
The difference between last season and this?
Two strikers that brought 50 goals and 30 assists.
Massive blackhole that was created for this season.

That's a pretty depressing list. Honestly, the only ones I'd keep are Studge and Origi as regulars, and Yesil/Sinclair as future potential. Why we have so many players who would never be up to our standards is beyond me. Get rid of Balo, Lambert, Borini, Aspas and replace them all for one, top, Sanchez level striker.

3) Balotelli I would keep because he has the ability to change a game

 Change a game..??.WTF... in what possible dimension does this ever happen???

 I need a pair of the glasses that make him a player!!! all I'm seeing is a waste of space in a Liverpool shirt!!

F***ing car boot sale that lot.

Keep Sturridge, got Origi, keep Sterling and play him out wide and then bring in two more.

Sell the rest except Sinclair. And this time buy strikers who fit the system.

3) Balotelli I would keep because he has the ability to cgange a game

Oh really??! People talk about his movement 'off the ball' and his contributions to attacking play. In the last 180 odd mins, he did f**k all 'on the ball'. There was a moment last night when Can surged forward and attempted to cross only to find him loitering carelessly outside the box. The only way he knows how to change a game is by getting himself sent off! 

Back to the list, Sterling isn't a striker, PERIOD! His finishing needs large-scale improvement. We'll be selling 4 - Balotelli, Lambert, Aspas, Borini (that's minimum 25mil) If Ings is coming, we need 2 more. Rodgers talks about marquee players, its time to put words in action. Go get Lacazette and Max Meyer. 1 marquee and 1 potential!
