JoeShmoe Posted 11 July, 2014 Share Posted 11 July, 2014 Liverpool will not be able to replace Suarez. Not even with 75m. Looking at #lfc, most of their fans seem to realise that too Arsenal, City and Chelsea will be in top 3 and depends how will ManU strengthen as to whether Liverpool go back down to 5th where they belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 11 July, 2014 Share Posted 11 July, 2014 They're just cutting out the middle man then? Few false transfer stories required. "Southampton are interested in Chelmsford City's Tommy Forecast in a £30 million coup." Then post in in the Liverpool Echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 11 July, 2014 Share Posted 11 July, 2014 Thats Lovren out then as the project he was sold has significantly changed. Nope, just the first excuse. I think he should be able to carry on running with the ambitious club bit - inconvenient Suarez leaving but, he'll still use it. No doubt if that looks a bit shaky we will hear the fantastic history and wonderful fans. Then maybe CL. And then finally huge wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 11 July, 2014 Share Posted 11 July, 2014 Kieran Richardson confirmed to have signed for Aston Villa Lamberts lost it. Some very strange transfers this summer. Cole is long past it and Senderos is error prone. Along with Baker and Clark in their team, they will concede a lot of goals this season. Poor Guzan will have his work cut out. I can see them and WBA struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 11 July, 2014 Share Posted 11 July, 2014 Lambert has no money to play with, so not really a case of him losing it. I imagine that he will be first manager to get the sack with Keane taking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that he will be first manager to get the sack with Keane taking over. First manager out is a tricky one. WBA fans will be almost immediately on Irvine's back if they start poorly, as will Newcastle with Pardew though I think they'll do OK this season. As good as Dyche did for Burnley last season, promoted clubs rarely stick by the man that got them there unless they do OK too. Hmmmm, I think A slow start could see Allardyce out of a job, as expectation to do better and change his style at West Ham could prove costly. He's already under pressure. IMO of course.

I imagine that he will be first manager to get the sack with Keane taking over. Keane's appointment does remind me a little of Meulensteen's for Fulham last year. I think Lambert's just bulking out his squad a little for now and will sell a couple of bigger players to pay for first teamers. I bet he's gutted that Benteke's been injured because he could easily have got £20m for him at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested we sign him a few months ago, but he looks a real talent from what I've seen. I think as soon as he has got a consistent end product he will be a great player. Some of his skills are very easy on the eye though so will be exciting to see more of him. Think we'll be seeing him spend quite a bit of time on the floor though, he seems to go down faster than a British girl offered a free drink in Magaluf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 WBA have signed Left back Sebastian Pocognoli. He was a top purchase on FM 2007 iirc.

Batman Posted 12 July, 2014 Share Posted 12 July, 2014 (edited) I can only see Liverpool competing with spurs for 5th next season. 1 great season but always felt it was based on momentum more than anything, in the right position at the right time and then having the focus to keep going until it ultimately fell apart. They were still wide open and defensively poor. Thought gerrard's all round game at DM was awful, however many penalties he scored. Cant say I'm not delighted they missed their one chance of the title. Could be another 10-20 years now. They seemed to have some bizarre contempt for Chelsea and man city wanting to defend as well as attack. I hope ole lambert scores regularly, Gerrard retires ASAP and they ultimately yet nowhere. I agree with you on Liverpool As usual, part of the media are fawning all over Liverpool this window But they (like spurs last season) have lost their one and only true world class player. City will always be there or there abouts, Chelsea have an unbelievable squad and added Costa and fabregas (with more to follow) for giggles United can only get better and are adding serious quality and arsenal have decided to continue spending. Sanchez is absolute quality. And they could well have 3 World Cup winners in their squad. Liverpool really need to replace Suarez with a brilliant striker. Origi and lambert will not be good enough for a title push Edited 12 July, 2014 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned lambert in my thread. Lallana was in team of the year and cost them £25m To suggest he is not good enough and won't play is just plain daft. My point is that they will need a top top striker to replace Suarez, if they don't, they won't get champions league again. And lambert and origi will not be enough to fill any void Suarez leaves Clear enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not allowed to suggest that Lallana will not be first name on the Liverpool team sheet. Anyone who does that is "spouting c rap" But it is absolutely fine to say that Ricky is not up to Liverpool's standard. We can slag him as much as we like.
