Wes Tender Posted 10 July, 2014 Share Posted 10 July, 2014 Wes I'm sure the players we are after will improve the team . We still have the nucleus of last years team and with the new recruits and the likes of Dusan and a couple of lads stepping up from the academy . Don't forget JWP and chambers and Gallagher are a year older . They will also add bite to the team . This is a big season for JWP and I expect him to grab it with both hands If lovren goes he goes . We wil buy someone who is equally as good or better and does not have the attitude lovren has . As for Liverpool . The more players they purchase the more disaffected players they will have in their squad with players not getting regular games etc apart from the obscene weekly wage which will keep them sweet Ps when's the next press release due from monk and guan . I know we are getting a Sunday supplement from guan I'm with you on this. Call me a blind optimist, but I actually do believe that our new signings can potentially strengthen us beyond the level we had reached at the end of last season. Personally I think that we have a better manager and a better player to replace Lallana already, with plenty of time to not only find replacements for Ricky, Shaw and Lovren if he goes, but also to do the fine-tuning required, by adding cover for our defence and up front which would have been required anyway. I think that we'll finish 6th next season. The one player that we might struggle to replace in my opinion, would be Schneiderlin. But then it is not nailed on yet that he will go; he might possibly be persuaded to stay by Koeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Morgan, he will be very hard to replace. It goes without saying his touch and range of passing is tremendous. I know the word `pace' is a no no on here, but Morgan has unbelievable pace. I doubt their is a quicker CM in the league. Pace isn't perhaps the first facet you'd look for in that position, but a good passer with pace is better than a good passer without it. He covers so much ground quickly and when teams break he can actually have a massive impact in breaking them up. I don't see Prowse or Reed being able to do that. Prowse is the slowest player I have seen for some time in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless chicken who spends more time cutting inside and hitting pearollers than he does passing it and crossing it. Appreciate he scored a winner against us last season but the amount of times he messes up Norwich attacks is baffling. If he can be coached out of it then he may be worth a punt but if he continues to play like he is thick then lets leave him alone and concentrate on buying proper footballers.

That's definitely how I've seen Redmond, flattering to deceive most of the time. Very 'English' winger in the sense that he lacks imagination and can be very predictable. Having said that I'd choose him over Tom Ince any day of the week, and he's still young so maybe he can be taught to add variety to his game. Wouldn't be disappointed if we didn't get him and £6mil as mentioned above would be about the limit for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai27 Posted 10 July, 2014 Share Posted 10 July, 2014 Loosing Morgan would be a huge blow but not the end of the world. Didn't we start with Cork and Wanyama in a game or 2 last season? I seem to remember it working out ok. Plus, as adriansfc said above it would give JWP and Reed more opportunities, both of which have shown promise but could do with more game time (Reed especially).

As I've mentioned before Morgan is desperate to play under Wenger He's also under orders to be playing UCL football ahead of Euro 2016. Redmond is held in very high regard by the England U21 set up and has been "encouraged" to make a wise choice before moving from Norwich to help his game improve.
