Ninja'd!

Now we need an LB, maybe a back-up striker too. Hoping we don't stop there, we need to sell now I think.

You beat me to it by seconds! :wink:

LB between now and 4 weeks and I'm happy tbh.

Need a LB, Winger, Back up striker & CB IMO. That's if we want to clearly challenge for the league indefinitely. LB is the most pressing issue though.

We need a LB, back up striker in Kuyt/Ngog/Pacheco and CB's were fine for.

Plus if you read the Comolli interview on lfc.tv now, he pretty much says we're all but done for signings, so it looks like a LB will be the final incoming deal.

Aha, I knew that, I've had a few beers. I meant Pacheco, god knows where I got Coady from.

Very strange thought process going on there!

I still can't see Pacheco ever making it at the top end in England if I am honest. I haven't seen anything from him that justifies his hype from others either.

I don't think we're fine at CB. Carra's getting on, Agger's quality but isn't reliable, Skrtel's inconsistent and is rubbish in the air as well as being rash in the tackle, Soto's got the turning circle of a truck and is slow, a liability, then we've got Wisdom & Wilson who won't break into the first team anytime soon. We have got Martin Kelly however, who I think could do an excellent job at CB, but he hasn't been tested there yet, so a proven CB to come into the first team would be good.

And since when the **** has Coady been a striker? :biggrin:

He's a CM. (Oh, I'll excuse you as you've been on the bevvies)
N'gog will also likely be sold, and we need 4 strikers, especially seeing as Kuyt will start a lot of games down the right probably.

Also, Comolli doesn't say that. What he says is that we've done 'most of what we wanted to do' and that we'll 'sit down and reassess the situation'. That means that there certainly is the possibility for a few more signings to me, but also that we've got our primary targets in.

He's 3rd choice back up, so 5th choice overall.

Its not a great situation but it could be worse.

We can't be splashing out fortunes because of UEFA FFP rules, so 5 forwards in Suarez, Carroll, Kuyt, Ngog and Pacheco will have to do for this season. Could be worse :ahee:

He impressed at Norwich. He deserves a few appearances tbh. Probably in the Carling Cup this season.

What the **** did I just watch? Yes it was a dumb thing to wear, but that was just forcibly stripping off a randomer then booing him until he got had to leave a seat he (I assume) had paid for with no shirt on.

Not good.

He's a CM. He's played in both though. He also played in CM against Guangdong. CM is where he'll make it if he does, not CB. He plays in CM for England too.
