Liverpool to Make Surprise Move for Intelligent £7m Midfield Battler Parker

redrob - December 16th, 2009 at 5:49 pm

would selling masch realy be as bad as thought?
we constantly say we dont need to be so defensive.
dare i say it.
when ronaldo left for real, he weakend the team, but they sit top of the league.
if we do sell then we need a good replacement and parker, although not masch quality would be a good choice.

Retryboy - December 16th, 2009 at 5:55 pm

Would really love to keep mascherano but if he was to go parker could do the job and we would have a lot of money to spend elsewhere. Ideally Javier to stay though

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 6:21 pm

just no

redrob - December 16th, 2009 at 6:30 pm

senna. too old. if we did sell masch then we need a player who we wiil get 3yrs out of min

The Matador - December 16th, 2009 at 7:20 pm

As much as i do think Masch is irreplaceable if it comes down to him wanting to leave then i think Parker would be an excellent replacement with the plus side being the millions in profit that would be generated for Rafa to spend elsewhere.

Warren Bloggs - December 16th, 2009 at 7:23 pm

Mascherano leaving would not be a terrible idea at all in my opinion as long as we got the funds to invest in other talents. Obviously, i regard Javier as a brilliant talent, one who has become a fan-favourite over the last couple of years but we could change the set-up and formation, invest in more attacking options and push up the table. After all, every fan seems to complain that we are too defensive in our approach, so why would Parker be a poor adition? I regard him as a good player, a battler, not as good as Masch i know but a player who can pass and get forward as well. I imagine any deal with Masch may include a player or two therefore i would like the ‘deal’ to include Milito and Hleb (who is on LOAN at Stuttgart) along with a further £15m.

A great deal in my point of view, we get as much as £15m on players as well as well as two quality additions in much needed areas: centre back and right-wing. Do not forget how good they were before they joined the Catalans, Milito was one of the best defenders around, an international for Argentina and a big-money signing for the Barca as well as Hleb, we all know how the wrong club can effect a player….Liverpool fc could be there new lease of life…and do not forget that Hleb has EPL experience and so could go straight into the team.

Then, i would sell Dossena and Voronin if there are takers and make approx £7m on the duo. I would also let Babel go out on loan, and use Riera as a makeweight for Mata. Spend the £5-7m on Goran Pandev and with the further i would sign Parker for around £6-7m and Mata for Riera plus the remaining £10m. Oh and least i forget! Bring Nemeth back from his LOAN!!!!

Players OUT:

Mascherano, Dossena, Babel (LOAN), Voronin, Riera (Mata deal)

Players IN:

Mata (Riera+£10-15m), Parker (£6-7m), Milito and Hleb (Masch deal), Goran Pandev (£5-7m), Nemeth (LOAN RETURN!)

Revert back to 4-4-2 with the following:

…………………………………………REINA…………………………………………..
JOHNSON…………..CARRA……………..AGGER………………..INSUA
……………………….GERRARD…………..AQUILANI………………………..
HLEB………………………………………………………………………………MATA
…………………………..PANDEV……………………………………………………..
………………………………………TORRES…………………………………………

SUBS: CAVALIERI, SKRTEL/MILITO, AURELIO, PARKER, LUCAS, BENAYOUN, KUYT/NEMETH/NGOG. ETC.ETC.

Maybe i should be Manager for the reds? Then again don’t we all think that?! All the same i think that line-up would be alot stronger then our current one and would be far more attacking, and if we needed to revert more defensive we would have the likes of Parker, Lucas, Milito, Aurelio and Kuyt on the bench? Oh well just an idea, and i know that the January transfer window is not very good for wheeling and dealng but with the following players not only would we zoom up the table, but they would help us get silverware in the next years.

Tell me what you think guys, try not to be tooo pesimistic though hey?!

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 7:26 pm

parker an idela replacement for masch are you on drugs? look where west ham are in the league thats what you get with a scott parker midfield.

a i dont think masch will be leaving
and
b scott parker ffs
defour diarra senna de rossi anyone but fucking scott parker

THE CHOSEN ONE - December 16th, 2009 at 7:43 pm

hes a poorer version of barry but slightly more combative and yet less creative. ok hes english but hes not very good at anchoring infact hes better playing in lucas position if you ask me.

god just recovered from getting beet by the gooners, was so deppressing

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 7:50 pm

how could anyone consider scott parker for liverpool

‘would selling masch realy be as bad as thought?
we constantly say we dont need to be so defensive.’

That is true but if we becom an attacking team then we are left exposed by the strikers form the opposite team. Selling Mascherano woul be a heavy loss especially now that Alonso has gone. Aquilani once properly fit will/should be put in the team instead of Lucas as we hae become a defensive team.
Last season at the end of the season we had a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder in Masch and Alonso respectively this year we should do the same but with Aquilani instead.

We must keep Mascherano unless he wants to move away and then in that case then Lucas will finally be put into position he may enjoy which is Mascherano’s spot.

The Chosen One:
We have got to grow a thick hide this season to deflect all the slings and arrows fate sends our way . I guess what was so upsetting against Arsenal, was first half raising our hopes, and then loosing it on two silly mistakes. And then watching the boys with nothing left in the tank…

Its not funny! lol i hate my posts getting moderated! it always my essays which get moderated

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:26 pm

have you seen tonights team sheet, its woeful

...samlfc.... - December 16th, 2009 at 8:27 pm

no can you tell me the team sheet please Kermit

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:27 pm

if aurelio is employed as a holding midfielder alongside masch then i m switching the game off

...samlfc.... - December 16th, 2009 at 8:28 pm

why would Aurelio be put in that position!! if he doe then Rafa has completely lost it

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:28 pm

reina carra skrtel insua agger aurelio kuyt masch benni ngog gerrard
subs lucas torres aquilani dossean darby cavalieri kyrgiakos

...samlfc.... - December 16th, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Is Torres not match fit yet? and Aquilani should of started so he can actually get match fitness

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:31 pm

well the only other option is rafa is gonna play four four two with auerlio left midfield or four one foru one with aurelio left midfield
or 4 2 3 1 with gerrard central and yossi in the hole aurelio left kuyt right and ngog up front alone, actually thats prob it, and we havethe poorest looking attacking force ever

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:31 pm

i am sat debating whether to watch the spurs city match instead

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:33 pm

so we have seven defensive players starting like usual

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:33 pm

i m not in any way happy with this lineup

...samlfc.... - December 16th, 2009 at 8:34 pm

SEVEN!? we areto defensive we need aquilani and Torres on

Retryboy - December 16th, 2009 at 8:40 pm

No trust in kelly or darby, breaking up our best CB partnership again. Looking at the front though he might have read my article and put yossi behind ngog, hope so. Shame no torres, riera or babel.

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:43 pm

kelly is injured, yeah but yossi in the holeis no good if you have aurelio wide left and kuyt wide right esp with carra behind kuyt, dunno why degen wasnt chosen at right back or darby for that matter, and yeah stoopid skrtel and agger cb means we concede goals

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:44 pm

its the most disappointing team sheet he could have shown me

kermit - December 16th, 2009 at 8:45 pm

aurelio can t play left midfield, never mind left wing

...samlfc.... - December 16th, 2009 at 8:47 pm

I like how my comment is STILL in moderation!! sorry redrob this was a post for you.

...samlfc.... - December 16th, 2009 at 8:53 pm

This is seriously pissing me off no Caught offside please sto moderatin comments hwich ahs no swear words in and moderate the people who do use them/ Insults

Retryboy - December 16th, 2009 at 8:55 pm

Kermit aurelio played LM when we beat united riera and babel obviously aren’t fit. Can see him not wanting to risk torres. Only complaint is the back four.

Retryboy - December 16th, 2009 at 8:58 pm

Actually would have liked darby & johnson on the right flank too. Babel wasn’t even listed as injured for united though.

Retryboy - December 16th, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Saying that will probably be aurelio holding and benayoun LM knowing rafa.

Liverpool FC Danny - December 16th, 2009 at 9:06 pm

Senna is 33 too old.
Parker is a very creative mid which we could do with but is like 28.
Get Diarra!!!

...samlfc.... - December 16th, 2009 at 9:16 pm

1-0 Ngog Header

Aquilani4goals - December 16th, 2009 at 10:36 pm

i hope we win this one

Warren Bloggs - December 16th, 2009 at 11:31 pm

2-1 for the boys in red! Someone shut Kermit up!

RyanO - December 16th, 2009 at 11:39 pm

Fucking Adriano PLEASE!!!!

THE CHOSEN ONE - December 17th, 2009 at 11:01 am

mark g

just read your message yes mate i agree totally. our heads went down

Retryboy - December 17th, 2009 at 12:49 pm

I like parker and i think if mascherano was to go, we don’t know how the player feels on the subject either, then warren’s shout of hleb being included in the deal is a really good idea.

Joe - December 17th, 2009 at 12:50 pm

can anyone please tel me why this is setting up like were not guna play aquiliani? if masch dosnt go? spose parker and aquiliani would be awesome together, we would jst need a right winger then, and maybee a decent cb, y isnt rafa playing aquiliani though?!

so annoying, hes class!

Scouse Magic - December 17th, 2009 at 1:07 pm

No No No. We have to keep Masch end of, he does a job that hardly anyone else can do as effective. The last two games he’s been outstanding clearing out the danger, we proved last night that we can play 4-4-2 with Masch in the side, we can use Aquilani to cover Gerrard and Lucas to cover Masch or rotate when needed. The simple fact is we need 2 wingers and a striker, width is what lets us down we try to go straight down the middle and we are crowded out, if we can pick up two pacey wide men who can cross the ball and a striker to compliment Torres, then i think that’s all we need to tie up 4th place.
Then in the summer go out about getting rid of all the deadwood that we have and there is plenty of it, hopefully we can get rid of a few in January to help finance what we need and then bring in QUALITY in the summer to assist what we already have in Reina, Agger, Carra, Johnson, Masch, Gerrard, Torres.

Donavan Ried - December 18th, 2009 at 1:22 am

I think that we should change the system if Masch’ goes……Play Aquilani and Gerrard CMF, play Yossi in the hole as retry suggested….. Don’t need another CMF

Donavan Ried - December 18th, 2009 at 11:39 am

Chelsea have reportedly given up on signing Franck Ribéry and are instead turning their attention to signing Bastian Schweinsteiger …… How long have i been saying we should get him???? at least 2 years …….

Back then we could have possibliy had him on a free and Podolski for between £8m-£11m ……. Rafa you C#&T…..

Donavan Ried - December 18th, 2009 at 11:41 am

Typo’s above (So Mad)

Afternoon Don and they both look almost exactly the same lol and yes i agree with you schweinstieger (can’t be assed to see if its right lol) would of been great when he was worth hardly anything like a year ago

kermit - December 18th, 2009 at 4:05 pm

schweinsteiger, been a while sincei was calling for that also him and anyukov for right back.

still i dont care we just signed messi ronaldo and kaka because we got taken over by some arabs during the night
