Nuri Sahin

[Mattshark]

it doesn't say much does it! You'd read it as we've signed him on a perm deal rather than on loan!

I was thinking that.

I notice their badge on the page dwarves the statement!

ha I was trying to click on it expecting to be linked through to the actual statement.

Good feeling about this signing, our midfield is starting to resemble a real strong unit again

Aye, very happy with Gerrard, Lucas, Allen and Sahin with Shelvey to come through too.

Fantastic news! Welcome to Liverpool FC Nuri, you are not going to want to go back!!!

Much much more like it! Transfer window is now officially a very good one!

Well worth the 25AED (which is actually £5 not 50p SB!!!!) to read about this great news!!

closest we've been to the midfield of 2008, not that level but has the potential to be very, very good.

If we get Dempsey and thats all the business we do before the end of the window then personally i'll be delighted.

Definitely, a good amount of control, positioning and some real guile and intelligence in there.

Oh, got to say thanks for this to Xabi Alonso as well. No doubt he made sure Nuri knew all he needed to about Liverpool.

[RichC]

Dempsey would offer some experience to the squad, would depend on the cost with him though £4-£5 Million fair enough the £10M or so thats been touted I'd rather we invested in someone younger and for the longer term

Made up.

The midfield three looks great now. The only concern for me is none of them get too close to the striker. An ideal midfield three in this shape needs one who breaks forward...like, er, Gerrard.

If we played a 4-1-2-1-2 then this wouldn't be a problem.

---------------Reina--------------

Johnson---Skrtel---Agger---Enrique

---------------Lucas--------------

----------Allen------Sahin---------

--------------Gerrard-------------

--------Suarez------Borini---------

Full-backs act as Wing-Backs. I doubt we would though.

[Frenchie]

that's a narrow 4-3-3

[Norbs]

And it needs a long pitch

Lol OK. Its the formation I've been playing on FM. They call it a 4-1-2-1-2.
