Yes You can agrue suarez was not and they linked amazingly but someone like benzema, Higuain is who we need at liverpool it's just bringing a big name into anfield at this present time.


I agree, however, in the situation Brendan found himself in at the time, desperately needing a striker - I'm just surprised there was no talk of looking into Dzeko, would've been relatively inexpensive (not cheap perhaps) but proven himself in the prem league, and yeah, not getting a start, seems a no brainer to at least have a look

Obviously no player wants to sit on the bench for half the games, but we play around 60 games in a season... It's Jose's job to convince the players & to keep them happy with it, just look at the likes of City who have the likes of Aguero, Dzeko, Jovetic and now Bony all for one position, they are all 25m+ players & they manage to do it


Really surprised Dzeko has stayed as long as he has to be honest, I almost thought he'd certainly leave when City brought Jovetic in, also surprised no premier league team has seen that if they offer him regular starts they could probably entise him, I mean for me he would have been a good avenue for Liverpool to explore over buying
Balo


City wont sell though , Correct me if im wrong but citys preffered option is playing with 2 up front? , They havent had the chance this season but im pretty sure they would like to play with 2 , Hence bony and there is 4 STs there for 2 spots - CFC have 3 for 1 (Costa , Remy , Drogba) if im wrong and they play with 1 , Then Djecko should be let go off.Though has Jovetic really proved to be much better than Djecko?


It depends how Pellegrini feels Aguero is doing after injury I think, they looked at their strongest with nasri/navas on each wing playing a 4231 with Aguero up top, I mean I cant ever really keep track with City, they seem to change it up each season, but I would have to feel Dzeko will go by the end of the season.

PS: Without going too far off football, how was your interview?


How many times have we all thought Dzeko would be leaving at the end of the season though? , And even if city do play only 1 ST , Its not just about Dzecko - Would bony or Jovetic be happy to be 3rd choice , Bony was top goalscorer of 2014 wasent he? , Jovetic was doing amazing in Serie a and wanted by a lot of clubs , All 3 are 26 or younger , In 1-2 years each of these STs should be in the prime of there playing career.Why would anyone of them (Id assume jovetic) accept being 3rd place?

We have drogba - A guy who is considering retirement as our 3RD option so we have no problem (Though he seems to play as second choice , Remy barely plays which is confusing)

The interview was strange , He didnt say anything negative and everything went fine but i just wasent happy with it when i came out , He said to me he would offer me a conditional offer which meant he would set me a brief (Just like a client would) id have to do it , Send it to him and we would see how good it is and wethor or not i got accepted , Today i checked my emails and i have a email saying he talked to his colleagues and i have been offered a unconditional offer meaning ive been accepted with no need to do the brief so obviously a awesome outcome (It was my first choice) but i defiantly didn't think it went well haha.

Oh and to keep the interview part a little bit footy releated he actually asked who i supported (As i had a lot of football graphics in the portfolio) , He said he was a villa fan "If i liked chelsea , Id probably be more interested in football too" xD

Anyway thanks for asking

True but surely since suarez left brendan had his eye on someone, Yes he got balotelli but I think that was more a stab in the dark, 'One hit wonder buy', I mean when sturridge and balo linked at spurs it looked promising but because sturridge has been injured has meant no link up, lambert & balo doesnt work and borini may be off to swansea

Maybe give balo till the summer and link him with sturridge but I still feel we need another striker : Higuain/Benzema/ Maybe Dzeko, who knows what this transfer window will bring

True and to be honest I think Liverpool can still attract strikers like Benzema/Higuain etc, my point isnt that Dzeko is the best player Liverpool could've signed, just surprises me that Dzeko hasn't sparked a lot of club interest given his situation

And apologies Brad I didn't see you contract comment until just now, and yes you're right, but since when have players had to wait till there contract is completed to be transferred, I understand City could refuse, but if he really wanted to leave (not saying he does, just say if) then I'm certain City would allow him to and take the money, especially with three striking options now

True, but your and my points kind of intertwine - he's a young(ish), top quality striker who deserves to have a lot of game time, god knows why he hasn't left yet, perhaps he values the prospect of winning stuff (from the sidelines) more than playing regularly - who knows.

But yeah, you've basically just stated exactly why we all expect him to leave season in season out, but I personally think that signing Bony will be the final nail in the coffin come the end of the season.

and Congrats on the offer mate, even if it is conditional an offers an offer, also its a great sign he's asking you about your personal interests! but enough of the uni talk, back to footy!

Yeah true, I think clubs may start to show interest, possibly just needs to be some speculation about his future, I would snap him up at liverpool

We shall see.

Not a big fan of talksport but when your in work all day you have to do something to keep you from being bored.

They just talked about Messi coming to the PL , Someone said about FFP and they conluded that there is no way , If messi wanted a PL move and a PL club wanted to do it , Thee is no way it could not be done ( FFP couldent stop it) and id agree.

There are so many ways around it (Sponerships , partnerships etc) , They talked about if it happened maybe a club will be fined like City (But they have the money to pay it + they then have messi) and they also mentioned the fact we have 30+ players on loan + the fringe players on our bench/in our squad + the other youth players we could easily obtain a huge sum of moeny from that + then the usual earnings of a club (Champions leauge / PL etc) + the fact the money is split over a few years.

Im not saying it is going to happen , but it is 100% possible.

Would absolutely love Messi in the Premier league but I highly doubt it will ever happen unless there is some sort of crisis at Barca and they just go down hill.

Chelsea would be his most likely destination but they have Costa, so do they need him? probably not.

Would you rather spend 200m on a striker who will help your team but not needed or 200m on several players who can boost every position?

Do we need him - Nope
Do i want him - Not really

but if we do get him it would be huge . The thing is though this messi deal is once in a lifetime , Its not as if CFC are thinking "Were going to spend 200m this season , Who do we want" , We are not planning on spending but if messi comes available then im sure we would put the cash up.

But even if we were going to spend 200M , Who could we get that would improve us?
