Rumours linking us with Benzema for £25m if we get into the CL. Must admit, a front 3 of Suarez Benzema & Sturridge would look very potent. Would mean Sturridge would have to push into a wider role though.
I'd prefer a quality wide man than a central striker tbh, as good as Benzema is - someone for Sterling to push after so he keeps upping his game. Sturridge and Suarez can both play as the front man, it's not a priority. That said, surely CM has to be our focus in the summer if we get CL because what we have won't suffice.
Don't want Benzema. We should be looking to buy players where we get their best years, not buy at a premium and have them living off their former glories!
Wouldn't say Benzema is living off former glories and he's only 26. Scored 14 goals in 23 starts in the league this year with 6 assists, not bad considering he's not their main man. 11 goals and 11 assists in 19 league starts last year and 21 goals and 7 assists in 26 starts the year before. Always going at more than a goal every 2 games with assists thrown in is pretty good going
I read the Benzema rumour and straight away thought 'thats not true'. How about this one: Everton boss Roberto Martinez wants to tempt former Swansea midfielder Joe Allen, 23, across Stanley Park from Liverpool to Goodison Park.
Can't see that happening. Can't see BR selling him, especially not to Everton, and can't see a player wanting to drop that far down
I assume thats a typo for £20m. I still think Allen has a place at Liverpool and a significant one to.
Does anyone else think we'll be getting rid of Skrtel AND Agger this summer? ... Taking Agger off for Kolo would indicate Rodgers doesn't trust Agger at the back in such situations (or may be giving him a bit of a rest after comign back from injury?)
Haha. He'll be gone in the summer, without a doubt IMO. £100k a week for an old injury prone defender who is average at best.
Yes Agger is too comfortable and needs a new challenge. Same with Johnson. Skrts will always have a mistake or two in him which is not good enough for our ambitions.
