Where does it say that? Only thing I can see is BR saying he hopes to get 1 or 2 more in. Below is a quote from BR so he obviously knows we need a goalscorer so can still see us getting one. There are a number of players we're enquiring about. There is no doubt we need to add goals to the team. That was always an objective when I first came in. "If we can get recognised goalscorers to come in, that's the objective."
Reports that we can't agree on a fee for Dempsey. Fulham playing hardball on the price. Rumours are that we might not sign anyone at all, which makes the Carroll deal even more stupid.
Now I am very worried. Couldn't score last season and now we have NOBODY to score this season!! Well my message to Rodgers is - you said you could play without strikers NOW ****ING PROVE IT!
I'm sure Fulham are aware we let AC go and are trying to get us to overpay. Hopefully there are other options.
To be fair, even if we kept Carroll we still wouldn't have a goalscorer as he would have been benched.
Wonder if he's going to try and employ the Spanish Euro 2012 tactic. No strikers and somehow grind a result out.
Suarez has 2 in 2 so far. As long as we create 20 chances for him every game, he'll score 38 goals in the league
One proven forward that needs ten chances (although he probably makes them for himself) a game to score one...
Not really. We've dropped our price by £3m already and you've upped your offer by... nothing. It's Liverpool who are playing hardball and if you don't sign Dempsey, the blame is squarely on your refusal to spend any actual cash.
@SkySportsNews: Sky Sources: Liverpool's bid for Clint Dempsey was £4m & club refuse to offer higher. Aston Villa bid £5m plus £2m add-ons #skydeadlineday @SkySportsNews: Sky Sources: Liverpool also offered a deal to Fulham involving Jordan Henderson & Charlie Adam but neither player was interested #SSN And good question: @thisisanfield: If we refuse to bid over £4m for Dempsey, and got £4m for Adam. Does that really mean we have NO money? #LFC #FSG
I know its been said you wont sign anyone but if anyone is interested paddy power have you at 9/1 to sign a striker before 11. Surely you have to sign someone so might be some easy money for those who like a bet
No, because we got a loan fee for Carroll rumoured to be around £2mil and also saved on his and Spearing wages which would add a few more mil.
Rodgers on 22/8: "I would be a nutcase to even consider letting Carroll go out unless there are other solutions." You said it Brendan. Getting tired of the talking, have to say.
