I'd like to see us try the diamond with Sterling playing like Suarez did, he's the only player close to Suarez that we have, he can drag defenses out of position, run directly at them, open up space for Studge and also attack the space Studge creates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I swear about a week ago, you lot wanted him gone to be replaced by Ibe, now he's the closest to Suarez you've got.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not me mate, I've said on repeat on here that Sterling is the best 19 year old I've ever seen p;ay and I include Michael Own in that

You lot? Show me five posters that said that. It's ok, I'll wait.
------------------------------------------------------------------
You can wait coz i'm not looking through articles, to prove a point. Some LFC fans wanted him gone a few weeks ago due to the contract business, esp after the bbc interview,you know it's true.

to play the diamond next season we will need another box to box CM, will need to get goals and have a presence (cabaye would be good at a reasonable price i would hope)
Ings to replace borini, at i would hope, a profit.
Someone like higauin to replace balo, and in fact, it could be a part swap deal.
we will also need a top rightback, flanno was better on the left last season, we can play moreno in games we need to attack, flanno when we want more defence. on the right we need a top new player, to replace johnno (and we will save a lot on his wages) and wisdom/manquillo can provide backup, or flanno if needed.
Centre back, Toure will leave, assess Ilori's progress, and Coates, see if we need another right centre back,
Really Skrtel, Sakho, Lovren (when he settles) should be fine with one of ilori or coates and wisdom as backup
In goal i disagree about jones, Migs confidence is back, i think some are being unrealistic about the quality of player we can have as backup, if jones leaves then it will be a cheap young prospect to fill his role, not peter cech, why would you go from being second at chelsea to second at liverpool, considering his ties to his current club...
sorry for the rambling thought process
Sterling would need to come via Chelsea.

I hoped Coates would get more game time on loan, shame, could be a good player, maybe a bit slow for the game we want to play now.

Insert re the keeper, I agree with you to an extent but would you agree any keeper we do bring in needs to be allot better then Ming with his feet?
It's instrumental to play out from the back and Ming, despite some excellent qualities, is desperate with the ball both at his feet and his kicking.
I'd happily see a young lad come in who has them attributes and coach him to become number 1 in a few years, who that is I don't know but that's the scouts job I guess.

Mig struggles to her distance on his kicks as well as accuracy. Plus he doesn't possess a good long throw.
His limp ankled efforts barely clear the half way line.
Opposition teams know they can afford to push up against us because of this

We definitely need a new 2nd keeper.
No 1 is dependant on Mig's form.
As for Papadopoulous, he has played 1000 mins, that's barely 11 games, and has been subbed numerous times when he has started.
He would be a crock.
kicking is secondary mig is stopping shots.we have 6 "defensive" players in front of mig, they need to present themselves as an option
If they cant because they are all being marked by high pressing opposition then its hardly migs fault all our attackers are 5ft tall.. and have no aerial threat to win his kicks!
We need to move away from 3 at the back now and play to our strengths, attacking with high pressure. I don't think we're gonna be able to address all weaknesses in one window, and for me the priority is the midfield and a striker.
Mignolet has been improving and playing a lot better after a horrendous start, and deserves next season to stake his claim long-term. As for a back-up keeper, maybe give Ward a chance?
In defence, I think we'll need one full back to replace the likely outgoings of Johnson and Enrique. Flanno, Manq, Moreno, and one more. Don't really see a future here for Wisdom sadly. At CB we're fine, recall Ilori and maybe let Kolo leave .
Can, Hendo, Lucas, Allen, and one new addition for CM. As everyone's said, a creative/box-to-box would be best for us, Gundogan would be the dream but never going to happen.
We're well stocked for wingers and attacking midfielders.
Replace Balotelli, Borini, and Lambert with one quality striker. Higuain or Lacazette would be great choices, but there will be a lot of competition especially with no CL football. Origi will be back, promote Sinclair, and Sterling as an option
So 3 new players - a full back, CM and striker. Quality, not quantity.
Striker, cm, rb, cm, lb, striker, gk, wf
In that order assuming we keep Raheem and Johnson and Enrique don't stay.
Another injury to Studge for the Newcastle game
This again underlines the importance of bringing in a top class striker in the summer.
Yep.
I'd hope they're saving him for Villa. Wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't training so that's why he's looked a bit off during the last couple of matches.
