Great link. I agree with it too. Benteke is young and an already established talent. I don't think it is good player comparison but I am a little gun shy after the whole Moses loan. I thought Moses was a very handy player during his other prem stints. He then completely stunk it up for us.

Whoever we bring in, let's hope the manager gives him a chance. I have sympathies for borini, lambert and balo who had sterling preferred (possibly quite rightly) before allowing any of them a chance at settling in the team.

This from the Gurardian, anyone know anything about the kid?

The club have also capitalised on Barcelona’s transfer problems by agreeing terms with 16-year-old Dutch winger Bobby Adekanye. The teenager’s move to Barcelona from Ajax’s academy in 2011 was declared illegal by Fifa and he spent last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven as a result. Both PSV and Ajax were keen to sign the promising youngster on a permanent basis this summer following his release from Barcelona but he is expected to finalise a move to Anfield next week.

Don't know much about the kid other then that he's a jet. He's bloody fast. Sterling fast.

Yep

Let's compare Raheem Sterling's contract situation to Wayne Rooney's in 2013! One of England's all time greats compared to a 20 year old who could be something but as of yet hasn't even scored 10 goals in a season. Yeah, let's give him 200k a week and the armband.

Hendo, in my eyes, isn't exactly the greatest choice for captain but we don't have a lot of options. Raheem is certainly not high on the list.

Best possible captain in our side now is Lucas, alas....

Hendo being the captain is alright, but dunno why we're making him take all the set pieces and pens

Sterling being captain would be loads of fun, team bonding sessions at Korean shisha pipe joints then go back to his pad for some laughing gas, plus unprotected sex to top it off

Permacrocked and soon to be out of favour to the handsome Emre Can unfortunately. I do love lucas.

Emre Can has captaincy written all over him.

Shame he's quite new to the team.
Can would be a great captain.
Why?

Regarding the size of our current squad: with the list as it currently stands we have 26 players who need to be registered, obviously we're only allowed 25 (and ideally we'd have less than that given the amount of football likely to be played by Can, Ibe, Markovic, Origi, Sterling if he stays etc) so we still need to offload a few. So, who isn't making the cut? I'd be selling/loaning out Enrique, Wisdom, Luis Alberto, Borini, Balotelli, and maybe Lambert (though I don't think it'd be the worst idea to retain him - costing us next to nothing, adds experience and offers that magical plan B we're often looking for against sides that sit deep against us) which takes us down to 20-21. Sorted.
Agree with all of those names, and I would add Allen to the list, but being a Rodgers favourite I imagine that he will still be around. I can also see Lucas going if we get a good enough offer. I would also have no hesitation in moving Lambert on if we get a half-decent offer.

Re Wisdom, I would either play him and see if he is up to it, or sell him. I don't think another loan is going to tell us much.
