ok one question..how does liverpool plan to fit in henderson??The mid field seems to be full...also phil jones would have been awesome fr liverpool..liverpool desperately needed one good defender like jones...but anyways looks like utd option is good as well..so....

Henderson is supposed to play in Right or Central Midfield and apparently long term successor to Gerrard who ain't going any younger, and is getting often injured these days. Of course no comparison to Gerrard, but Henderson is young and can play of even 12-15 years if he turns out well.
We may even play in a 4-3-3 with Gerrard, Meireles, and Lucas a first choice and Henderson as an understudy, and also be a quality squad player in the short term, and regular first teamer in the long term.

                     Lucas/Spearing
Meireles/Henderson                   Gerrard/Shelvey

If we get Adam, I would guess Shelvey will go out on loan.

As for Jones, we would have nailed him but he chose Mancs so that's the end of the story.

And Sunderland are close to signing O'Shea, Wes Brown and Gibson for 12M GBP.

This makes me happy

An Indian playing for one of the greatest clubs in the world? Interesting. Don't think he'll get a game though even if he signs.

 

[Kl@w-24]

He plays in New York, right?

 

[Liverpool_fan]

He left Kansas. Didn't get a game. Played in the I-League this season AFAIK.

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ Oh, right... Kansas.

Dont let Gibson and Sheasy go !

We need cover in the midfield and Gibson can do that and Sheasy can provide backup at multiple positions . I hope both stay here !

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Seriously, Gibson?
He sucks.

But yeah, I want JOS to stay.

 

[xtremevicky]

Now Anderson in no better . He remains injured most of the time . Fletch and Carrick are our only options right now with Anderson and Possible Jones .

Gibson can be ok for a back up !

 

[Kl@w-24]

Klose signs for LAZIO!

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Anderson is miles better than Gibbo. I'm hoping for a Nani like transformation for Ando this season.
All gibbo does is boot the ball out of play or give it away to opponents. Ando has shown much more potential than Gibbo and I would rather give some gametime to Pogba, Tunnicliffe than let Gibbo play.

And we are definitely going to buy a midfielder this season.

Carrick, Fletch, Ando, Giggs, New Mid, (Jones and Rooney) are enough.

 

[xtremevicky]

Ando is better than Gibson .

If we sign another midfielder then we can let Gibson go otherwise No IMO.

Considering we have spent 17m (or 13m + Diouf) on Jones for a position which was already good enough, I think we are going to spend big this season.

I have a feeling that SAF is trying to build a great side for his successor.

Hair From Rooney's buttocks to scalp. Transfer fee: unknown. Result: dodgy.

Haven't seen much of him in midfield but he can be a good destroyer. Maybe a Hargreaves replacement?
