Lallana will do well for us On right backs,we'll take anything you have as long as you take Johnson in return
Ask Newcastle fans what that road looks like. I hope a few seasons from now Southampton are still comfortably top 10 but the reality is you're likely to be relegated at least once under Fat Kat
-------Mignolet------- Flan-Lovren-Sahko-(LB) -----Can--Gerrard----- -------Coutinho------- -Sterling-------Markovic -------Sturridge------- Not looking too shabby at the mo, that's without including players like Remy, Lambert, Lallana, Henderson all to come on.
Resent nothing, love Rickie joining you. We got rid of 2 players that wanted to leave and close to 50m for the new manager to build his team, and besides we also got Sammy Lee
Agree that Hendo should be starting, was in the top three players for us last year IMO. Also, every time someone as tried to partner Gerrard up with someone in the middle it as looked awful and inevitably fails! If he is to play then he needs two pair of legs net to him, not one.
Look we will have to see the next move. I honestly do not see us splurging 40-50 mil on one player so the vial and Pogba muck is just silly Lfc buy players and try to make them top class not buy top class players that's reals gig
Tony Barrett is confirming that the Lovren deal will be completed in the coming days. Looks like another 2 newbies in and with a couple also looking like they're leaving (Borini, Assaidi), we will still have the bulk of the Suarez money to splash! Moreno looks like it'll go all the way, I really hope we sign him though, rather than our second, third or fourth choices. After that who?? We could potentially have £50m buring a hole in our pocket!! Shaq please...or Reus....or Isco....Did I miss someone?
Lovren to Liverpool for £20m. Good for both sides, you get a good player and we get a fair amount of cash for a player that doesn't want to be here.
Good business. After this I think just two more players. A left back and a high profile attacking signings from the Suarez cash. Though only if said attacking player is available, if not we should not spend it for the sake of it. Moreno and one of Isco, Reus and Di Maria. Good business. We'd have added real strength and organisation to our defense (hopefully) and seriously improved depth, with kept a good amount of goals and magic following Suarez departure.
Despite perhaps paying over the odds, we have done well so far and I believe we have a better squad as a result. If we sign Lovren and Remy then great, we'll have options. However we'll still need a FB. Having said that, I think we need to make a statement after losing Suarez. I'm not normally one for wanting us to sign superstars (bar Neymar obviously ) but I think we need to this time to make that statement to not just the opposition but to our own followers too.
I said followers as I was thinking more than just fans/supporters, I was thinking about sponsors, the media, etc too
