Gareth Bale [ 46 ]
Robin Van Persie [ 91 ]
Luis Suarez [ 96 ]

Very close fight between Suarez and Van Persie. I can conclude that, many MU fans were here.

If you are MU and you are open for healthy football discussion, then welcome.

Mr- Aspas will be Suarez replacement or Suarez companion

Ouch! That's an indirect slap into the face for Jordan Henderson.

Personally I do think the England media over-hype their players.

Frankly, Jordan is not a versatile player yet and dont have that extras needed to carry the team forward. He's doing well in Liverpool because the current team's style of play fitting into him and they are finding him when he makes the run ahead.

It ain't the same in England. When it comes to England, even the great Gerrard sometimes suffer.

I am surprised Pearce keep choosing our players to be captain. And now these boys are associated with carrying the team to a back to back 3 straight defeats.

Losing morale in the process.

Think Henderson is very good CM but wont be a Stevie-like CM, much like Jack of all trades but master of none

This guy got great position awareness, especially this game.

If we did land him, expect Henderson, Allen & Shelvey to be pushed down the pecking order.

Forward...Central Defender...

Why there is no news about we are getting another DM & LB?

Christian,
Did u have any news if we are about to getting those?

I think Ilori is LB. I also agree that DM is also the position need cover.

That I know, Ilori is a 6'3" centreback. Would rather not have another centreback masquerading as a leftback e.g. Agger. The current alternatives to Enrique are Downing, Johnson and Robinson. Johnson played there for a fair number of games last season. The benefit of having right footed players on the left is they can more comfortably mark wingers who like to come inside.

All those English player suck la...be gone..the media always over-rate them leading us to believe that they are above them all. I, too was often sucked into the hype. NO MORE. They all suck!!

I'm a little worried, we've been buying and buying and buying. Will the club play as a team?

as far as i know we've only signed toure for free. haha

Liverpool have tonight agreed a deal in principle with Celta Vigo for striker Iago Aspas, subject to documentation being completed.

Aspas scored 12 goals in 34 games in 2012-13 despite playing in a side threatened with relegation until the final day of the season.

During the campaign he was directly involved in 51 per cent of his team's goals.

The 25-year-old broke into the senior side at the Spanish outfit in 2009 after graduating from their youth set-up.

Aspas can play through the middle or out wide and he could become Brendan Rodgers's second signing of the summer transfer window following a deal for Kolo Toure.

if this guy can form like he did at celta vigo, we have another goal machine. but defend style in la liga totally different with BPL. BPL more robust.

Sorry. Got confused with our another target, Lucas Digne.

michu has no problem scoring with a lower quality players than us

There are 2 objectives that need to be met here :-

1) Bolstering the squad - BR himself has come out to say that we had a paper thin squad last season. Whilst the likes of Shelvey, Henderson, Sterling, Assaidi, Yesil, Suso and Wisdom are promising players, they are hardly game changers. Not all the players we sign will walk straight into the first team, thus fans need to manage expectations and note that some may merely be squad players. I don't for example see Toure or Aspas starting every game.

2) Buying the right players - Mentioned before how the centrebacks we're targetting all have pace, unlike Carra who has retired and Skrtel, who is linked to a move away from the club. Toure may not be as quick as he used to be but without an organiser at the back, his experience could prove vital. Similarly, our forward line will consist of players who are adept to play not just in the middle, but further out wide as well. This is to accommodate a 3 pronged strikeforce. All are so far mobile and they will be required to track back to help defend. This is why Carroll is being ostracised. His lack of mobility is seemingly unsuitable for our style of play.

I'm more worried about foreign players settling in rather than whether or not they will be able to cope with the way we want to play, provided the criteria above are met.

have to see for 2nd season to judge...most are 1 season wonder

Dillion,

Out of curiosity why do you refer to Aspas as "The Little Suarez" in the thread title? Bloke's only 0.05 metres shorter.
