I do like the players we are linked too and I like what I see in Salah from the very limited exposure I've had of him. I still have a belief that Aspas will eventually come good, he's hardly played in his natural position yet although the rumours that he's trying to engineer a move to Valencia in January doesn't exactly bode well.
Salah coming in will surely mean the end of Moses or Sterling to go on loan I guess. Salah, Matic and a left back would be a perfect January. I'd cut Cissokho's loan, I don't think he's going to hack it at Liverpool. Would be good to get a reliable back up for Sturridge because he's made of glass, maybe that Greek guy from Olympiakos.
Aspas only cost £7.7m, we took a chance and so far, it hasn't paid off. If he wants to go, I don't mind, he's being nice about it (unlike Pacheco). That's a good wish list, but I only see us bringing in two players this January, leave the main stuff for summer. It looks like Rodgers wants a central midfielder, but I don't see that happening just yet, our central midfield is hardly amazing, but it's adequate for the time being. A left back is going to be hard to get and we have cover thee, so I think we can hold off on that transfer.
If Aspas does go like you say, then we'd definitely get a replacement, but I don't think we've been linked for any strikers so far.
So I'd say a replacement striker and Salah.
Here's a tough one for my fellow Liverpool fans.
If the opportunity for an Agger - Mascherano swap came up in Jan, would you take it?
Nope, although they are of roughly equal value, we have a Mascherano replacement in Lucas, we need an Alonso replacement. Luis Gustavo would be my preferred choice, but he moved last summer
