The tabloid headlines tomorrow will say

Suarez seen with Real Madrid shirt in hand

He looks so peed off. Poor bloke, forced to train with us.

Concerned that we don't seem to be targetting a CB now, just left-back and a forward from Rodgers' comments.

If that's the case, what's wrong with Borini in the 1st photo?

I wonder if we're going to stick with Coates & Skrtel as back ups ?

i'm not too concerned

i'd like a top centre half but for all we know maybe skrtel has dug deep and worked hard pre-season - plus we currently have Agger, Skrtel, Toure to compete for starting XI and arguably cover from Kelly/Coates/Wisdom as cover.

it's prob not as big a priority.

for me i reckon in order we need

a top centre mid
a good left back
if suarez goes, a top striker
centre half
decent cover for keeper

we are not going to sign them all - so if we can keep suarez and then add one more top class player i'd be very happy

he's pissed off now suarez is back he won't get a game and will be loaned out

I kind of agree with that. We certainly have numbers at CB but not sure on the overall quality. Not sure how Agger and Toure will do at CB. But it looks like Papa was the main target but maybe we will now wait until January for him.

Agree with him on left-back. I think Enrique should be the cover and we should get a new left-back. Will be funny if this is the window we finally sign Cisokkho. He has been linked every window every year for about 4 years

Not sure whether he said he wanted a midfielder or whether he's said a forward?

The MCG is ready to go. The surface will be terrible though. They played AFL on the weekend

i think with centre back options- Papa's injuries and not sure that Alderiwield would be superior to Skrtel, means there is not much out there imo - unless we get a £10m bid for Skrtel there is not much out there that we can afford that will improve on him

we defo need someone as good as if not better than enrique for LB

If suarez stays, surely we don't need another forward unless a few are to be sold.

suarez
sturridge
coutinho
Aspas
Downing
Ibe
Sterling
Borini

surely we have enough cover - maybe lacking a bit in quality - if this was Champ Manager i'd be thinking sell borini and downing and then sign one quality player to replace. but as it stands it's not a priority.

Centre mid tho - i do feel we lack one top class player there

as it stand we will be picking 3 from

gerrard
lucas
allen
henderson
Alberto

for me just we are just lacking another first teamer.

i'd like to see (as i've said for a long time) someone ****ing double hard in there with an engine who can get box to box.

starting XI of - Lucas/Gerrard/New Guy

with back up of - Allen/Henderson/Alberto

If Coutinho is playing centre, we will only be choosing two of those midfielders won't we?

Something like

Suarez - Sturridge - Aspas
Coutinho
Gerrard - Lucas
