Has anyone heard if we are looking at any forwards?

25 Jun 2017 12:37:12
I have a feeling that teirney is going to get moved forward this season in to a more attacking position, there has been a lot of talk about a left back coming in and that's the only reason I can see why we would buy one as izzy is sitting as back up, any thoughts on this.

{Ed007's Note - Why would you want to play one of the best young players in Europe out of position? What's next, Dembele at CB and Sinclair anchoring the midfield?}

Ed if you read my post I never claimed to want to play KT at left back, just have a feeling that it might be Brendan Rogers plans for him because of the rumours about left backs coming in particularly the lad from Leeds and holland, at Liverpool Rogers tried this with a few young players, and it never done Bale any harm,

{Ed007's Note - And they called it 'getting Brendaned' at Liverpool when he done stupid things like that. So you really think Rodgers is considering changing the position of one of the best young prospects in Europe that top clubs would all love to sign to play in that position? If he does he should be sacked for gross stupidity.
And Gareth Bale was honking as a LB, absolutely honking.}

Ed007 I agree don't move your best players out their position but I am sure I read Tierney played quite regularly on left side midfield at development level did he Not?

{Ed007's Note - Probably, players play in all different positions at those levels.}

A lot of talk right enough, I'd imagine that you could count on two hands tops the people who know the real situation. Rodgers and Davies, Lawell and Congerton Desmond and a handful of agents. Meanwhile the papers link us with every player available. I'd imagine we'll find out more in the next month. KT will be a revelation in Europe this year and the money we will be offered for him will test his resolve to stay for 10IAR. I think he could do a job on LW but why bother when Sinclair is there and Tierney puts in the best possible shift at LB every time.

That would mean taking sinclair out of his natural position to accommodate a player not in his favoured pos, can't see it myself.

25 Jun 2017 14:14:34
no point playing players out of position e.g. Armstrong at him now playing where he should be. I think with Toure left, I think he has identified that position to be strengthened before the qualifiers.

25 Jun 2017 14:08:47
We're only being linked with LBs because according to some rags we're "struggling to keep hold of Tierney".

{Ed007's Note - And even though we triggered another years option on Izaguirre's contract the Club want to extend that to a 3 year deal.}

25 Jun 2017 14:46:10
Exactly ed! They are begging for KT to leave, it must hurt them so much that we have arguably the best LB in Britain and he's Celtic daft! With Izzy I'm long term and KT looking to stay for 10 I'd be surprised if we sign another LB.

{Ed007's Note - And let's hope he's binned the Calvin Miller at LB idea.}

Like the rest of us I read the s#it but when are we going to start believing that. as per years gone by. we do OUR business in a professional and dignified manner and when a deal is done we will announce it. HH. FB.

Its strange how unsubstantiated rumours in the SMSM can result in such a long discussion on here . We know it will be a complete fluke if rumours like this come into fruition.
What I find it hard to stomach that we should have to read what Liverpool fans thought of Brendan when he was there . Sneering at him they should have been thankful he took them to their highest league position in over 30 yrs .
A manager wouldn't be doing his job right if he didn't experiment with players in different positions . Jock Stein experimented with Billie Mac Neil as centre foreward.

Klopp has played milner at lb all season and he's the messiah.

Tierney is a left back end of. However get off the OPs back, remember Gareth Bale was a left back originally at Southampton.

27 Jun 2017 18:18:13
Yeah Tesla, the difference is Bale was honking in defence.
