@LFCZA: So James Pearce on LFCTV's Press Pass says he reckons #LFC won't sign Eto'o unless it gets to deadline day and we've not signed another fwd.
It makes sense he might be a fall back option, but as if he'd be sat around on the last day with his thumb up his arse, just on the off chance.
I think the fact Chelsea settled on Drogba actually supports the notion that the market doesn't look good now in terms of striker supply. They certainly have the financial clout to spend on someone like Falcao or Cavani, but I think, like us, they were also keen not to overpay for some of these guys in this transfer window. I don't know where they stand currently on FFP (if it matters to them), but I'm not sure the next guy they bring in (if they do bring someone in) would be a big name. We'll see.
No, just no.So Bony it is then + E'to
Looks like Lavezzi deal could be done. He rejected contract offer.No, just no.
Again, hopefully not.Looks like Lavezzi deal could be done. He rejected contract offer.
So who would you like to get?Again, hopefully not.
Reus, Cavani, Falcao, Schurrle, Lacazette, manly Reus though. Point is, I understand it's difficult to sign the right players, they might not want to come etc, but that doesn't mean we should sign the wrong players, I believe Lavezzi would be, I'd rather we kept our money to January. That said, if we've got no strikers lined up by the end of the window, i'd take Eto'o for a year.So who would you like to get?

Ajax are offering him more?! We couldn't have been offering him more than a weekly scouse pie and a drumstick lolly.Tancredi is saying Ajax are offering him more money than we are.
Bothered.

When the same players will have the same answers. No one new is suddenly going to appear out of thin air. We have the money and we should get the player now (whoever it is), if anything happens to Studge then we've fucked as Lambert, whilst a good stand-in at certain times and for certain matches, is no full time replacement.
Firmino, Bony or start looking at high scoring strikers in smaller teams ; Beradi, Alan, Salihovic, Drmic etc. The top players have either turned us down or are out of our budget (salary-wise), the next tier are the Bonys and Remys and then the young stars of tomorrow or a gamble on a player being able to step up.
All of the above strikers are not available to us bar possibly Reus who should be the main target. Lavezzi is by no means prolific and that won't suddenly change. Bony could do a job for us but I'm not convinced by him either. Lacazettew opted to stay at Lyon and Mourinho definately wont do business with us after we finished runners up. I actually liked the Schurrle option because he would have something to prove.Reus, Cavani, Falcao, Schurrle, Lacazette, manly Reus though.
