God, not again!Liverpool have once more failed to buy a proper back-up striker to Fernando Torres.
Despite the change in management at the club, the same issues still remain, the need to provide cover for the brilliant yet injury-prone Fernando Torres.
As Les Lawson so well put it on LFC TVwe have not bought a striker since we got rid of Robbie Keane 12 months ago and no new forward has come in since then.
With Liverpool panicked into player swap deals in an effort to bring an average goal-scorer in Carlton Cole to the club at the 11th hour, it showed how little money manager Roy Hodgson had to play with.
Its a sorry day at Anfield when we cannot afford to buy a second rate forward in Cole, who only gets about 10 goals a season with the Hammers.
Maybe it is a blessing in disguise, with new owners, hopefully in by early October, then we can plan to bring in some top class players.
We live in hope.
Yanks out now!

i think its a disgrace what they done to ryan babel today his confidance must have taken some knock roy and liverpool have alot to answer for....
ReplyDeletenot to worry about the striker yet...
ReplyDeleteThe most importan the squad has been improve in midfield..J Cole is hard working and fast(same as gerard), Mereiles well known talented midfielder and Poulsen good defensive midfielder too..he is tough and good coverage..
Apart of that maxi and Jova also could be reliable creating chance..
so Kuyt/babel/ngog could take the temporary main striker if Torres injury...
my point if our midfield could fuction well.....striker will be having much easy job...
Rafa left saying the job was untenable pity he wasnt more specific we all know for sure why.
ReplyDeleteI liked Rafa he made some strange decisions but fought for funds, and cared Roy does not give a toss.
Roy should have told the fans but he didnt he is weak and a fool possibly a liar too.
If he has a shred of decency should quit and give up our greedy owners, no wingers no striker Torres will leave now every bodies lied to him why shouldnt he also yanks out.
