All I want from London is Kevin De Bruyne.
Tarrying but briefly in Mou's lap before being thrust into a seat on the West Ham relegation ride.
You'll get Menez. And Nani.
Moses on loaned seemed like such a good idea at the time.
Yep. Quite neatly solves all the questions about whether Gerrard gets straight back in the side too. I think we'll miss Allen though, it's been nice to see him establish himself in the side a bit more after a dodgy start.

Pretty much confirms Nerman to United somewhere down the line.
Yep. We also need Django back asap. Take the pressure of Suárez a bit.
I hope Henderson is ok, been loving his football.
Nani's games in the last two seasons:
Not only did he fuck his hamstring again, but he also needs a bit of time to regain his fitness.
we don't have time
we don't have money
we don't have patience
United pls
Moses is one of those players that in theory should be brilliant: Quick, strong, skilful on the ball and really direct.
But he looks like he can't be bothered whenever he gets on the pitch.
Our strength and depth was really exposed this week. We need to cut the weak links in the squad if we make the champions league. January is a good time to start, we need to get rid of Moses, Cissokho and Aspas whilst we have the chance.

Nani just signed a new contract. Doubt he's going anywhere.
You can have Young though.
Man I hope this "form" Young is in can fool someone to bid for him and more importantly doesn't fool Moyes into keeping him.

I don't disagree, but to be fair, most sides in the league would have really struggled with the fixtures we had over Christmas.
It looks like Wolfsburg are favorites to sign him, dat Volkswagen money
He would replace Diego.

Say didn't Vidal just sign a new contract?Matri left a few months after signing a new contract
We were doing just fine in that department without him, thank you.
We're safe as long as he keeps making babies with his wife.
At the very least.
ooooh right!
Did I say 10M€? I meant 20M€!

Seems he's managed to land it.
Makes sense in some ways, he's a "popular" fighter, as in people know who the fuck he is and his fights are generally entertaining because of his fast hands and disastrous defence.They'll manage to come up with some kind of "speed kills" hashtag to push the fight.
Mayweather will school him and probably manage a stoppage too. Khan will get paid which is what he really wants anyway.
That's boxing today...
I thought he was shit
Still good enough for the Eredivisie =P
That's true but the game would of been a lot different if we had genuine cover. What if we had just one of Chelsea's bench yesterday? We wouldn't have to bring on the likes of Smith.
The strength in depth between us and the likes of City, Chelsea and even Arsenal is the difference.
Tello on loan would be a good deal and Salah. Still think we need another forward, an attacking midfielder, a left back and a midfielder this window but we'll probably get one or two of them.
January is where you reinforce positions that where you have injuries or couldn't get a deal done over the summer. I don't think it's the right time to do some massive overhaul of all positions.
The problem areas that need addressing ASAP are wide attacker, central midfield and left back. If we got 2/3 sorted in January that'd be nice. 3/3 would help us maintain a challenge for a CL spot.
In January though, a lot of the players who are at clubs who have gone out of Europe as well as fringe players at the oil clubs want out to get regular football will want out.
Don't underestimate the importance of a world cup year, a lot of players will be available in January. Liverpool shouldn't waste the opportunity to strengthen and go all out to get that Champions League spot.
A lot of our best business has came in January in recent times too: Sturridge, Coutinho, Agger, Suarez, Skrtel, Maxi Rodriguez and Mascherano.

It's been on sale for like £3 a few times already.
What did Rodgers do last summer, how could they be forced to put on Smith after that many buys? Sure you got injuries but there must be some versatile players in there who can cover, instead of some U18 player.
Short comparison:
City: 21 outfield players
8 defenders
4 midfielders
4 wingers
4 strikers
Liverpool: 21 outfield players
10 defenders
4 midfielders
4 wingers
3 strikers
10 defenders - is it because Rodgers wanting to try 5-3-2? You bought 4 of them last summer too.
Regarding Smith vs Chelsea - maybe you need to invest more in versatile players who can cover more positions, someone like Milner has been gold to City. He has played anywhere from right back to left, right and central midfield.
Something to do with Vucinicicici
Come on Baldini, wake up. This man is just a phone call away:
Get him back, NAO!
I've been buying a lot. Ended up with about 30+ DLCs for Sleeping Dogs. :lol
Oh, Paulinho. Also, fuck Charlie Adam.
Maybe something to do with the Vucinic rumours?
Paulinho was awesome yesterday. I'm also happy for Soldado. it's about time others realised he's on the pitch. Shame he didn't score for that flick.
Well we lost Carragher, Skrtel and Agger have been far from convincing, and Coates already didn't look like he had a future here before his injury, so in hindsight, we bought the right amount of defenders. The only problem is that 3 of the 4 we needed to replace are still at the club in one capacity or another.
I'd argue we still need one more consistently class right-sided CB to partner Sakho over the next few years, and I'd be quite happy to see Agger and Skrtel go to make that happen.
City has been without Richards all year and got plenty of injuries, and still managed four competitions with 8 defenders (7 without Richards). And to me, there's not that much separating your defenders and City's in ability.
City in reality have the fewest players of all top-6 squads in number. Sure, their backups are much more expensive than the other clubs, but there should be no excuse for a top-6 team to put on an unexperienced kid against a team like Chelsea. I know this topic has been covered though, but it's interesting to see how both City's and Liverpool's squads have the same amount of players. City has had plenty of injuries too, plenty, but has never been forced to put on youth.
