Author Topic: Comolli: Only 1or 2 adjustments in the summer (Read 131064 times)

Simple really, last season we looked up the stats and signed the top chance creators in the premiership. So now we create loads of chances and don't put them away. So this summer we look up who are the best converters of chances to goal ratio in the world. Anyone have that info to hand?

Huntelaar is not first quality attacker. I know he scores on Wembley but this is friendly, he is not enough good for top side like Liverpool must be. He fails at Real and in German, this is not player to make us top side again.

Worst post of the day. And that is saying something.

My concern is Suarez going.

If he wants to leave after this season, after bad results he is also a partly to blame for...then so be it. Having said that, I don`t think he will.

I remember when we signed Carroll, his opta stats were identical to Torres.

As it's turned out, since those transfers neither has delivered on their stats.

Make of that what you will

I think Pappis Cisse was the most efficient last season though. Newcastle got him for about 10m in summer.

going on past experience I fully expect scott sinclair and darren bent in the summer for a combined fee of £40m. I'm not joking either.

I am actually as long as we spend the money on foreign players. Our problems as so obvious I think it'd be almost impossible to mess it up.

I think any transfer activity will be underwhelming, I would be surprised if we spent £18 million+ on any one player after the impact that Downing, Henderson and Carroll have had.

There are a fair few contenders in there.

Why haven't Kenny made any subs before, like, extra-time???

I'm baffled. He doesn't think Bellamy, Maxi or Carroll could have given the lead? Jesus christ, game was lost there. Pathetic. It's in games like these when you truly see the incompetence behind the current management.

Hodgson in charge: it's disastrous

Can you describe in what way he's done a bad job? It could be argued that he's done a fantastic job, and brought in each and every player that Kenny wanted to bring into the club in the Summer.

and if you honestly think Downing, Henderson and Adam were the ambition Suarez was hoping for, then wake up.

Yeah, but that was just the Mickey Mouse cup wasn't it? No one wants to win that, we shouldn't be happy about it, it means nothing and any way we only had to beat Cardiff to get if, not a proper team. Suarez must want to leave.

The team is crap, the players ate rubbish. Kenny doesn't know what he is doing, we should get Rafa back. He's just waiting for the call isn't he?

The owners wont give any money to Comolli in the Summer, look at what he spent it on last time- rubbish!

Suarez will certainly leave, that's why they were having a fight in the dressing room, I heard he punched Andy Carroll because he didn't score, and Pepe had to lift him up to do it.

Nah, he's Definately going.

I know it won't happen but we can dream. He reminds me a bit of Van Basten but obviously, too early to make crazy comparisons like that.

Many circumstances can change that though.
And although not world beaters, bar Suarez, weve signed some very good players.
Its a work in progress is all im saying. With Europe to offer next season we might be able to get
some 'better' players.
We have to be realistic with the type of player we can get. Wages, CL all a factor.
I dont like it mate but thats how it is.

Sorry but if you think a team that is poised to finish 6th or 7th is going to beat the likes of Madrid, Milan, etc. to one of the world's most hyped and expensive talents you're having a laugh.

Didi_ram · « **Reply #589 on:** March 4, 2012, 03:43:01 am »

Giroud would be the realistic target IMO.But for that we'd have to take a hit on Carroll.

So that's Kenny and Comolli thinking they've made the right choices and you thinking they haven't. Happy to know.

Didi_ram · « **Reply #591 on:** March 4, 2012, 03:55:13 am »

It is a known fact that our right wing isnt as good as our left. And then a striker has to be bought.But with Henderson not really up to the mark yet,I believe that a long term Gerrard replacement like Eriksen as a CAM is required.AS for the people talking about CM,I think Lucas,Adam,Gerrard,Henderson can handle it.Our central midfield is way better with Lucas in our eleven,and I think that Gerrard can actually play as a CM alongside him for 2-3 years.
For the front 4,I think we need minimum 2 and maximum 3 players.

Realistically,a top CF/CAM/RW would each cost 25m. And even if we bought a striker,could we sell Carroll? With Kuyt almost definitely off,that'd leave us with 2 strikers only if Carroll was off too.

I do believe that buying someone like Hoilett as a cheap option would be wise.And there could be other cheap quality buys possible,across Europe.But we need atleast 2 world class players to even make a challenge for 4th next season.

Just seen that statement from Comolli (and apparently Stevie was saying similar in the media?) - the club is in some trouble in terms of player assessment if that's the view inside.

We don't need an adjustment, we need an overhaul of the midfield and attacking departments. We tried one last summer, it was mainly shit. Delude yourself that average quality is higher than it is and all we need are 'adjustments', we'll be here the next year looking to the next transfer window.

Hope that statement from Comolli was just intended to dampen down expectation among the potential sellers.
