Which 3 players would you want back?

[RedReet]

I forgot about Anelka.

Could he play with Torres?

I don't see why not, the same issue was raised about Drogba and they soon proved the doubters wrong.

[Kronenburg1892]

Alonso
Masch

And...

Hamill.

Arbeloa did well in our backline, but he struggled with getting forward and then getting back for his defensive duties, which is why I'd guess Carra went psycho at Fulham away in his last season. We've definately missed him as we've not really got in anyone alround better.

But for me, I don't think Hamill ever got a fair crack here. He's done really well in lower leagues and up in Scotland. Can score outside the box, and can take a player on playing either right or left midfield. I'd take him back for the squad. Wolves have a bargain there I reckon.

The lower leagues and Scotland are no guide to how well you would play for us. The fact that he is nearly 23 and hasn't pushed suggests that he simply isn't good enough.

[Exiled_red]

Alonso
Mascherano
Crouch

I would have said Sami but those three have a few more years left in them, if it were the Sami of a few years back that would be different

You're probably right, but I would have taken more of a punt on him than I would have on say Ngog (different positions sure)

I guess we'll see over the next few months on whether 500k was a good buy.

N'gog is 2 years younger and already a more established player though.

[Kronenburg1892]

That's not really saying much though is it, especially when you consider what's happened to our transfer policy over the last 2 years. We've had to rely on DN as a fill in striker for the last 18 months, which is why he's got his first team experience.

I just think Hamill is more useful as a squad player that can fill in on both sides of the pitch, than a striker who's learning his trade out of necessity (who had only scored one goal before he joined us, if I remember right)

[kingfunk]

None of them, Liverpool FC is not a club where you just choose to come and go.
The grass always turns out rosey pink on the other side.

[Daniel 7]

Ian Rush came back

Aye, but he was only 17 when we got him.

[Qantaga]

Alonso
Fowler
Masch

[Lee]

Alonso
Riise

And then one more from Arbeloa, Mascherano, Bellamy, Riera, Crouch, Benayoun and Anelka.

[RedReet]

Not that I would say no to taking Xabi back, the way our midfielders performed against Wolves, getting forward at every opportunity probably wouldn’t suit him. I like the Lucas / Meireles pairing and I’m looking forward to seeing how we perform with a well rested Gerrard and rejuvenated Torres against Fulham.

[dom9]

Why would you like Riise, Lee?

He last 2 seasons for us were awful. Has he improved in Italy? I don't watch any of those games.

Agree mate that his last season or two were pretty poor, but he's still the best leftback that we've had in the last ten years and hasn't been replaced.

Good for a couple of goals per season too.
