I haven't been on for a while so thought I'd pop in and say hello.
Over on what you consider the Dark Side (Not606) there is a mixed reaction to the Summer dealings so far.
Everyone is happy with Firminio but other than that the signings have been uninspiring.
What are your thoughts on the Summer so far?
Are you hoping for one or two more before the season starts and if yes who?
Good Morning JA Reds

I'm happy with what we've done.
I'd quite like Benteke and Delph if I'm honest, and then offload a few and I think we're in an alright place.
I think we've got to be realistic, as much as we'd love a Reus to replace Sterling, that isn't going to happen.

Kneerash, Gomez is a RB. I just wonder where else he can play. He has played in other positions.

He's a centre back but can also play right back.

I wanted us to give Gomez a go, yes he's young but I just have a feeling he'll be a top player, Clyne I hope steps up again after finishing the season in a very low key way.
Ilori is another I'd like to see more of.
It's a bit of a disjointed team at the moment I don't get how Rodgers is going to set up.
This is my best guess with my Rodgers hat on.......
Clyne----Skrtel----Sakho----Moreno
---------Hendo----Can-----Milner------
------------------Coutinho------------------
-------------Firmino--Studge------------

With Sterling going there is a ready made replacement in Shaqiri just waiting to be snapped up.
It's a No-brainer.
Probably get Shaqiri and Benteke for the Sterling fee.
That would be great dealings if they could.

Not greatly enthused with the summer so far. Not entirely sure that we have strengthened to such an extent that we could catch up with the top 4.
Clyne is likely a decent addition at RB but the rest of the defence, including keeper, is still the same and still that will remain one of our big problem areas.
Losing Sterling, despite what a lot of folks say is definitely a blow. Firmino? definitely an unknown element here. We've been excited about other big price tag exciting players coming in from the continent before and have seen them under perform many times, so I have to reserve judgement on him.
We finished a long way off 4th last year. Arsenal are stronger. Utd look to be doing great business. Chelsea are streets ahead. City are the only ones with a real question mark on them, but I'd be surprised if they didn;t continue to rebuild now that Sterling is wrapped up.
We have many more parts of our team needing fixed before we can consider ourselves top 4 contenders.

You are forgetting Wisdom for RB too lads.
Would love a top striker to come in and possibly a cover for LB apart from that pretty happy, unless Kovacic or Illarramendi can be got, that would be sweet!
