*orders JCB*
Despite the fact that he looks a decent player and I said so on Page 1, I don't think we should sign him. We need better.
Cheers for the credit Ryan/Amber.
I would love us to sign him and if we can get him for under £10m then we'll have a bargain. I'm not sure how we could best utilise him yet as it would depend on SG's fitness next season. His ideal role is a bit like SG's when he played just behind Torres (or like Dempsey this season for Fulham......a midfielder but with a license to get forward as much as possible).
If SG is fully fit next season and firing on all cylinders then we'd have to try and find a way to shoehorn Suarez, SG, Siggy and a goalscorer (maybe Carroll, maybe a new signing) into the team. Maybe it's time to try SG in a more defensive midfield role?
If we signed him it would certainly mean the end for Charlie Adam.

Fabio, it should read 'Eriksen' instead of 'Gylfi'. Or anyone else for that matter when it comes to that position.
You guys are impossible.
You guys are impossible.
WRONG!
WRONG AGAIN!
It's gonna be:
------------Carroll
Suarez-----------Hoilett
----------Aquaman
----Gerrard-------Lucas

Would you rather we'd have Aquilani back than we'd buy Eriksen?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!

I'm sure our owners are aware that only the top talent around will take us forward. So we have to go all in for those even remotely available. Eriksen, playing for Ajax, where we've just picked up Suarez, indeed should fall into that bracket.
I know United etc. all want him as well but we are Liverpool, and we've got Agger, his captain at Int. Level, his former teammate Suarez and the Liverbird on our chest.
What's not to like?
I really like him but why on earth invest 10m in this area of the pitch when we have an unpolished diamond in Shelvey who ultimately will play in virtually the same position- he should be getting every minute of playing time in our remaining fixtures to bring him on asap and save the cash for a caroll replacement
Really? I know little of him but mentioning henderson concerns me
He was pretty prolific during his Reading days too and I could recall him doing well against us a couple of years ago in the FA Cup. 9 goals and 3 assists in 29 Bundesliga games during his 1st season with Hoffenheim is not a bad return either.
Huh? He plays for AZ.
He's talking about Sigurdsson.

Rasmus Elm? That's got to be nothing but a stupid rumour. At least I hope it is.
Expects this phrase to be repeated ad nauseum for the next four months
Loving the Sigurdsson link. Big fan of his.

Sigurdsson: Babbel claims he is part of his plans
The Iceland international has been in sparkling form in the Premier League since joining Swansea on loan in January, with reports suggesting Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United were preparing summer bids for him.
The 22-year-old midfielder is expected back in Germany at the end of the season but has already told Babbel he wants to remain in the English top flight.
While Swansea have made it clear they want the former Reading man back next season, the Welsh club expect to face competition for his services.
However, Babbel insists no proposals have come in and until any do, Sigurdsson will remain a Hoffenheim player.
He still has two years left on his contract with the club and Babbel wants a shot at convincing him his future lies at Hoffenheim as it was his predecessor Holger Stanislawski, not he, that deemed Sigurdsson surplus to requirements.
"The fact is that Gylfi Sigurdsson will be at the club come June 18th," Babbel told Sportinformationsdienst.
"I am able to confirm we have been talking to each other. Of course, he told me he would definitely want to remain in England.
"For me, Gylfi is a top-quality player, he is part of my plans. And up to now we have not received anything in his case.
"As long as we are not receiving anything, this is not an issue for me, and we will keep on expecting him to be around."
Hoffenheim splashed out almost £7million to sign Sigurdsson from Reading in August 2010 and, according to Sportinformationsdienst, they would be willing to sell for around £10m.
