[rant assuming Firmino is confirmed]

Haha suck on that you pessimistic ****s, slagging off LFC/Rodgers for "only" locking up some of the best English talent before the window even opens and now we even get some of the best international talent still before the window is opened

[/rant assuming Firmino is confirmed]
 
If we sign Firmino it would have signing a target man striker look even more random.

Could Firmino partner Sturridge in a similar way to Suarez?

Maybe LFC were happy to keep the Benteke rumours alive since there was no chance of us ever meeting the buy out clause and everyone being distracted by that did us no harm long term
 
Yep he could - but I rather he and Coutinho play behind Mario and Sturridge. That would be a crazy attack IMO.
I cant see Balotelli thriving with play makers. He needs pacey wingers who cross.

If stronger rumours and leaks are true, we could expect:
Mignolet
Clyne Ilori Sakho Moreno
Can
Henderson Milner
Coutinho
Sturidge Firmino
Decent as long as the defense is stronger.

Think you are all nuts about Ilori.

He's got to show a full preseason here first. He's not earned that.

Disagree - I think Mario can work with playmakers but he needs a partner. <ok>

Would love to see Ilori play more games - Varane, Agger etc are started young. Can be no worse than Skrtel.

Ilori's been promised more first team action this season - could be why Skrtel has yet to sign his deal since he needs (apparently) a certain number of appearances to get his top pay packet.

I could have sworn Tony Barrett tweeted something about Skrtel signing a new contract? That was only last week ...
 
That promise could be 6 games in europa lads. What's he done?

Not enough to start. Needs a big preseason imo.

Totally agree. Would love to see a couple of the younger lads already with us to stake a claim. Pre season is massive for us for a ton of reasons....just hope we get no serious injuries. When is Sturridge back?
