Will Liverpool be making January reinforcements?

 

 

Without doubt, the most common question being asked by Liverpool supporting friends of the site regards requests for information over January transfer targets.

 

I enjoying reading all of your questions and comments, they help make the site, so please keep them coming in!

 

The majority just want to know if Liverpool will be signing anybody when the transfer window opens, while there are a few who are pretty excited and would like some fairly extravagant rumours confirmed.

 

All I can say is that, as its stands at the moment, Liverpool will not be making any of those earth shattering big money signings that some people have been getting excited about.

 

The word is that before Liverpool start spending any serious money in January, players will have to be sold first. A couple of targets have been identified, but one of those is now going to sign for another club.

 

There may be one arrival, but it seems that at least one player – possibly Pennant – will have to move on first.

 

Of course, everyone has heard the rumours about Robbie Keane, and the story involving Steven Gerrard and Mark Lawrenson has been unavoidable. My take on this is that there is no operation underway to sell the former Spurs forward, but that if, for example, his old club were to come back in for him with a sizeable offer and a deal involving a player like Lennon – then of course Liverpool may give it some consideration.

 

That does not mean that is going to happen; simply that if the club were presented with an appealing offer that would benefit everyone concerned, then the manager may very well give it the green light. Nevertheless, if Keane stays at Liverpool, the consensus is that he will ultimately be a success and that his goals and abilities will play an important part en route to winning the League title.

In my opinion, to still remain on top, come May, we need a Robbie Keane in full flow for the 2nd half of the season and also hopefully a creative possibly pacy right midfielder who can add a new dimension to our attacking play or alternatively a resucitated babel operating down the right flank.

He states the obvious though.

 

We're also top with the squad we have. Torres scored 33 goals last season, this season--5.

 

We don't need new players. We need the ones out of action to get fit.

 

Better signings will happen in the summer as they always do because top players are CL Cup tied anyway.

Wonder who the target we'd identified who has signed for another club is?

 

Did anyone see Lauren mention that Glenn Johnson was close to signing for us? Sure I saw a report on NewsNow last week but heard nothing since.

That article is a steaming pile of w*** where he says something may or may not happen.

 

The man is a fraud

 

I wish I had his job

 

I think the man is brilliant, as he really says nothing

But people hang on his word.

 

Didn't he get the Torres deal spot on? Seem to remember him getting that right. Throw enough rumours out there though some are bound to happen!

well yes, but he also said Torres had signed for the mancs the year before (i think)

 

You can't just throw rumours round like Arsenal will sign Appiah, its may or may not sign him. Brillant.

Completely agree

 

Anyone could have written that rubbish after reading the mirror or some rubbish over the last week.

not heard of this guy, but then I hadn't heard of Reira before we were in for him.

Does anyone know what type of player he is and whether he's actually any good ?

 

thanks

 

Yeah I've heard of Riera. He's a left winger and has been doing a pretty good job this season.

know his name. plays for depor, lots of hair, quite big. never really stood out as a great player. remember reading he's good pals with one of our lads. probably arbeloa.

Yeah the name rings a bell for me too, think he's one of the reasons why Depor are having a decent season and has been one of the best players in La Liga so far this season.

Get Torres fit, Keane behind him and Gerrard as the wide right forward. The team would have incredible balance and quality all over.

 

I think we'd create and score more.

On Revista De La Liga, Balague said we are monitoring Angel Lafita - he is an attacking midfielder/winger according to wiki

In that case I hope we atleast have a look at Angel Lafita. He can play upfront or on the right (mainly on the right in a front 3) and is brilliant. He's quite tall and also has some pace, trickery and a good finish in him. I've been watching him for a couple of seasons when he was on loan at Deportivo and he's a good player. He did sign a permanent deal with Depor this season and i dont know if we could get him in Jan. Next year maybe. He's 24 and at the right time of his career to ge a move on in terms of clubs.

 

 

Woo Hoo !!

 

;)

Christ, Balague really does believe his hype doesn't he?

 

Talks mostly rubbish too. I watched him a month or so before we signed Torres say we wouldn't sign him.

 

All indications are, he does have a relationship with Rafa, so maybe he's on the pay roll and his job is to put out fake info so Rafa can do his real deals quietly!

Dont mind him but he acts like he actually is the only person who all clubs reveal their targets too which he then repeats on air???
