useless Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 We will be going big on a new striker and another midfielder regardless of what happens with Ings. Besides I wouldn't read too much into Sky reporting that he's not for sale, if they ask the club the question we're hardly going to respond by saying that he's for sale, we will want it to be known that he's not for sale, so if a club is interested they won't be getting him cheaply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I would be shocked if we had 3 strikers that cost us over 30 million in the squad I dont think another team in the league has a similarly priced strikeforce 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the two good strikers we’ve got, get a preseason of them playing together under the belt and bring in some youth prospect (I guess Wilson?). Unless Ings/Watkins leave, we won’t be buying another first team striker IMO. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia, Coutinho, Bailey/Traoré, Chuk/Ramsey Watkins, Ings, Davis/Archer I think whoever we sign, we need to manage the fall out of what is left behind carefully. Can't see us going big in either position really, but if we do it would have to be really big to be worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AshVilla Posted June 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2022 If we go into next season with Ings/Watkins we won't be finishing top 8 imo. Much better required. Same applies for Midfield. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a number 8. 10 is sorted. Edited June 13, 2022 by Mazrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 We need to sign a new CF to add to Watkins and Ings. Archer is only young and his development takes precedence over our current needs. We will play 2 up top in some games and one up top in others. So three senior CFs are needed. Ings and Watkins are definitely part of the plans. Their combined form when playing together on the final 14 games of the season has been very productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a serious question, then usually (in British tradition at least) a 7 is a right winger and an 11 is a left winger. Nothing to do with politics.

Old school right winger that hugs the touchline and gets chalk on his feet. 11 being the left sided equivalent. Not sure anyone refers to a player as a 7 or an 11 these days. Aside from the 6/8/9/10 the others don't get much of a look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is typical of what Liverpool do, insist players aren't for sale and that they're part of the plans and then eventually over charge for them. There was even a story recently about Gerrard seeing Davis as part of the first team squad next season, could be true, but again probably more likely that it's us not wanting to come across as desperate to sell.

sne Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Watkins scored 6 in 2022 and Ings 4. That's pretty dismal. Happily upgrade on either of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Sorry for being an old fart.....I understand what a no.1, 9 and 10 are but what is a no.8 ?? God be with the days of such terminology like centre half, winger, full back, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
