I would definietly get a name on my shirt if we had a player named Kebab, number eight too <laugh>
 
Ashley Cole?

Out of favour at Chelsea, out of contract end of this season. Competition at lb
 
Still a good player, but too old now, we want to build for the future, not carry people that are beyond their best!
 
Wouldn't want Ashley - massive pr*ck on and off the pitch, old, and expensive.

Ricardo Rodriguez or Moreno (Sevilla) would be great shouts.
 
here's the thing.. buy a 22 year old and he might be ready... sturridge was. buy a 21 year old and it might take 2 years to get a return. you buy a 26 or 27 year old they had for sure better be ready... which is why aspas is a total flop
 
I'd understand getting A.Cole on a freebie (despite his age) if we didn't have an option at LB already, but I don't agree with getting him in as competition for Enrique, especially when Flanno is doing well there and Johnson can cover too (although I expect Glen to leave sooner rather than later).

I don't think his wages would be a problem. We offer what we think is suitable, if he wants more than tough; he either accepts it or doesn't join.
 
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has confidence that the level of quality within the Liverpool squad can prove to be an extra incentive when the club attempts to acquire new players.

The Northern Irishman's team leapfrogged Arsenal into first place in the Barclays Premier League with a 3-1 home victory against Cardiff City on Saturday, with Luis Suarez scoring twice and creating the other goal for Raheem Sterling.

Another virtuoso display by the Uruguayan followed news the previous day that the No.7 had committed his long-term future to the Reds by signing a fresh contract at Anfield.

Rodgers believes the presence of world-class stars among his group not only pays dividends on the field, but should also strengthen the manager's ability to lure more talent to Merseyside.

"Good players want to play with good players," he told Liverpoolfc.com following the win over Cardiff.

"When you've got a world-class player like Suarez, and we've got a number of other young players improving, our selling point is the team and the philosophy.

"Our success here will be based around the team and how we work. Certainly when you've got players of that esteem - Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez, that ilk - top players would like to play with those players.

"Suarez is always at a very high level and, again, was magnificent. He leads from the front, works, presses and is very clever in how he presses the ball.

"When we've got the ball, his creativity and invention is first-class. Two great goals again, good finishes. And he was very unselfish to pass to Raheem. A wonderful talent and yet again he showed why he is a world-class player."

Sterling took full advantage of Suarez's assist to claim his fourth goal of the 2013-14 campaign, prompting Rodgers to suggest that the No.31 is emulating the performances of his early Reds career.

The 40-year-old continued: "He looks right back up to that level again, he is very direct in his running. One of the things we're talking to him about improving his game is to arrive with goals.

"As a wide player in a 4-3-3, you've got to be creating goals and scoring goals. Another good finish from him, but he also had to get up there and support - which was important."

Reflecting on the match with the Welsh outfit, a fourth successive Premier League win and sixth straight victory on home soil, Rodgers took encouragement from two different factors.

He explained: "There were two elements; in the first half, our football was exceptional - we got three goals and created numbers of chances.

"In the second half, we weren't as fluid as we were in the first, but we had to show a little bit of resilience at times to defend a lot of direct balls into the box. We stood up to that. Another great three points for us and another very good performance."

<ok>.
 
Flannagan is not a serious option for left back. He's not a natural left back and he's been decent and that's being generous. If Enrique (or any top level left back) had put in the same performances as Flanno, we would be criticising. In the context of a young local lad playing in an unfamiliar role, we can commend him.

Enrique needs replacing/upgrading.
 
in fairness while he did well v spurs cardiff owned him and thats why he was taken off...

its a neverending drive to perfection that makes us want this. but in reality if we had to carry a position to have 10 brilliant players elsewhere it would be full back that you'd chose to carry a player in.

ideal world... get left back in... real world... get midfield in first.

Look at chavland... ivanovic is a distinctly average full back he's a cb now they are playing another unpronouncable player way out of position rather than a real LB... at utd they played smalling and jones (donkeys at RB) and then rafael who can't defend... city have gone through how many?

We can carry flanno and get a return but we cannot afford to carry a passenger in midfield or upfront and thats why aspas and moses are benched and not even given 20mins on saturday.
