Liverpool’s January transfer plans revealed
Now, the January transfer period is upon us, and there are players out there who I believe can be a positive signing for us. Firstly, there is Lionel Messi (If we going to speculate, lets speculate big) If we cannot pull that off, then I have always been a fan of Roman Pavliye…Pavel… the Russian striker from Spurs. Although i can’t spell his name, he has shown in the past that he can goals. Not happy with being a part player at White Hart Lane, he has goal poaching qualities that could lead to an important goal or two for us. Abroad though, I think we should give serious thought to signing Lucas Podolski. The German international is only 26 and already has 96 international caps to his name. He plays for a mediocre team in Cologne and contract expires in 2013. He is ripe for the picking and rumour is that he is not entirely happy at his current club. To fill the right wing slot, the first name in my mind is Jesus Navas from Sevilla. He is phenomenal and is one of my top 3 favourite players worldwide who do not wear a Liverpool shirt. However, he would be a risk. He suffers from severe homesickness which has hindered his international career. He seems to have conquered it a bit and managed to come to South Africa for the World Cup, but it is still a concern. Of course, Eden Hazard is strongly linked from Lille and I also think he is a good player to fill the role. Domestically, Adam Johnson from Man City is a great candidate, although he is rumoured to be inconsistent by his manager, but he has always impressed when I’ve seen him play.
Alternatively, instead of looking externally, we look internally. In our reserves and under 18’s we have some good players who can fill this role. Names like Rahim Sterling and Nathan Eccleston jump to mind for the wide roles. Or Danny Pacheco and David Ngoo upfront. Yes, they are young, but so was a certain Michael Owen who conquered the league at 17/18 years old.
Again, just my humble opinion. And I am positive everyone who is reading this has their own thoughts and there will be many rumours of potential signings. So I will continue to trust in King Kenny, and I will continue to conquer the league of my FIFA 2012. Who knows, maybe it’s time for me to stop playing at game level ‘amateur’ and try my luck in ‘semi-pro.’

Sandro or Tiote, Torres or Cavani, Hazard or Navas, in addition to our current squad will get the EPL down to Anfield.
id like us to to bring in a striker, before today’s news of the poacher and foz in the box type forntman that we are clearly lacking – david villa would have been my first chooice for total quality and what he offers within his all round game.
Please dont before his leg break today even start to thinking that david villa is now 30 that he is all done, he is not, but with his leg break he will be nearly 31 and without having played football for 6- 7 months??
For me if we are dreaming then it would be either;
1 cavani, gomez, or higuain.
I would like a power hous emidfielder brought in to make the squad deeper and just in case jay spearing will or does not get to the top level that we think he nmight then moussa sissoko, m’villa have all been spoken about, but there are many others.
id also like a winger and he has to be able to dribble, we still apart from suarez, dont really have many people if all, glen johnson apart that can take a man on and beat players with pace – however we need that winger to have a decent final pass………
will not be buying 3 players in jan, unless we are more cahs rich then first thought! – id like us to buy a huge top talented frontman.
Id even through fernando llorente and if carroll doesnt take the game by the scruff of the neck then sell him in jan window.
other players i like are; lavezzi, hummels, gaston rameriez.
BUT WHAT IS CLEAR IS THAT WE STILL DONT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE ENOUGH QUALITY – NOT YET ANY WAY,
wide men adam jhnson is a gud option, lavezi n cavani. Brin Epl 2 anfild
u agree with this.
raheem sterling is an amazing young player and personally i think he would take the prem by storm. never afraid to take on players and he has great pace so quick. other than suarez no1 can run past players. so bring sterling through. a world class striker to play with suarez is needed in jan coz it is clear that carroll isnt good enough yet. whateva it costs bring in the best striker possible. oa right winger is a must aswell. 2 big signings in jan are needed. names such as cavani, Soldado, hazard, navas, lucas, gotze, cazorla etc. if i could choose any 2 players it would be Hazard and cavani.
Soldado & Navas would be enough to secure the epl in the few years to come
