Some one compared our current form to the start of Rodgers first season.

The turning point that season was the two january signings, Coutinho and Sturridge, who suddenly seemed to pin things together and make our attack click.

We needed a spear head for our attack and some one creative to connect our midfield and attack.

I'm wondering if we can pull that off again.

I feel part of our issue is Sturridge being out so I think it could only take one signings. But we do lack that spark in our build up play.

Could that man be Reus? or Shaqiri?

Sterling
Sturridge ---Reus
Balotelli​

Freeing up the the interchangeability again whilst Balotelli provides the physical presence and centre pin.

*coughs* just to play devils advocate. if we are in 7th nobody will be jumping at us in january

They were to players who immediately improved the squad- but I think we started to improve even before they arrived... we had already turned the corner by that point. No doubt they improved us... and no doubt a player of Reus's quality would improve us more- he's the Rolls Reus of attacking midfielders.

And Lambert is the Lamborghini of strikers :bandit:
 
Khedira could be available cheap in January or free in the summer.

Real will prefer a sale and we could move early to beat the competition.

Him ad Can could make a good Turkish German midfield pairing.

When Barca discover that Neymar, Messi and Suarez dont work as a trio which one should we sign?

We should sign their replacements...
 
Liverpool set to battle Manchester City for Ross Barkley

Liverpool are set to engage with Manchester City in an intriguing battle for the services of Ross Barkley, reports suggest.

Speculation from the British press early on Tuesday morning had suggested that the latter were once again targeting a swoop for the £50 million-rated Everton starlet who has developed a deserved reputation as one of English football's brightest young talents in recent years.

Now, according to the Daily Star, Liverpool are set to go head-to-head with the reigning Premier League champions for Barkley having first pondered the possibility of such a deal earlier this year.

Rivals

While Liverpool do appear to maintain a significant interest in Barkley, it remains to be seen if Everton would be willing to offload such a precocious talent to their fiercest rivals.

Quite simply, at this stage, the Toffees and Roberto Martinez are under no pressure whatsoever to sell the 20-year-old.

Barkley's impressively mature decision to put pen-to-paper on a new four-year deal at Goodison Park following a hugely encouraging 2013/14 season - during which the Merseyside native scored six goals in 34 top-flight appearances - amid serious interest from elsewhere means that there is no immediate danger posed at all to Everton with regards to losing his services for a dramatically reduced fee.

City favourites?

Everton's reluctance to part with a player who has already earned nine senior England caps and has subsequently been tipped for an enormous future at both domestic and international level is perfectly understandable, but in the event that they did decide to cash-in, you would surely have to give the edge to City.

Not only do their vast financial reserves mean that they are more likely to be able to pay the sort of inflated price that will inevitably be demanded during any future negotiations, but their status as perennial title contenders - rather than top-four hopefuls - means they offer far less risk as a potential buyer in terms of the possible damage inflicted on Everton's chances of progression.

Injury woe

The new campaign is yet to properly get underway for Barkley, of course, after he sustained a serious knee injury during pre-season training that prompted initial fears that he could miss the rest of 2014.

Such concerns were allayed earlier this month, however, with Martinez himself confirming that Barkley's rehabilitation was progressing ahead of schedule.
