For all our spending, if Suarez picked up a longterm injury.....

[Iver]

Adam, Downing, and Enrique are quality additions, capable of making an immediate impact.

 

Henderson will hopefully mature into a great player in time, but we need to be patient with him.

 

Looking at yesterday's game, you would have to worry are we becoming overly reliant on Luis to make things happen upfront.

 

If, for whatever reason, we were without him for a period of any length, I do not think a strike force of Carroll, Kuyt, N'gog would have enough in terms of mobility, pace, flare, guile etc to win us games.

 

I agree that centre half is next priority, but I would argue that the need for another striking option is not far behind, and if we can find a striker who can do a job wide right too, then all the better.

 

Hopefully N'gog will be off to Bolton as part of a player plus cash exchange for Cahill, thereby lowering the price by a few million.

 

If so, then hopefully we will bring in another striker.

 

This Korean lad (? Young) at Monaco might be an option - would not cost the earth, and is apparently quite fast.

 

Most importantly, he is supposedly a big LFC fan and very keen to join.

 

If there is no cash at all left after we sign the centre half, then we could do worse than looking at Bellamy on a free, although City would be very unlikely to do business with us I would imagine.

Agree. We need both CB and forward next.

We'd still have Downing and Gerrard feeding Kuyt and Carroll. Its not ideal but its not awful. Take Van Persie out of Arsenal or Rooney out of the Mancs and they look considerably more pedestrian too.

Arsenal maybe, but they're hardly a barometer.

Man Utd could play Hernandez and Berbatov and still be just as strong.

We're still a way behind those ahead of us at the moment. Even with all the new signings it's going to take time to iron out the inconsistency and develop our pattern of play. I just hope we can stay in touch with 4th and make a real run for it at the end.

Big shout, that.

Some hope on that front in the Ngog story in the Mirror, says we won't let Ngog go until we have a replacement to come in.

Losing Suarez for three months would hurt us much more than United losing Rooney for three months.

Yes, I don't disagree. Just making the point that we do still have good players. He's the ace in the pack though.

 

I can't wait to see Gerrard and Suarez properly playing together.

[CarraLegend]

 

Gerrard.

 

Kinda keep forgetting he's here! Hopefully he's ready after this next international break.
