Unless you actually sell Agger to Barcelona and use those funds to get both Sakho and Alderweireld...

Cannot see us selling Agger.. Just named vice captain and one of our most important players, it will only weaken us further
 
Muniain, Konoplyanka, Ljajic, Lamela, Willian and Luis Muriel

Possibly the most realistic options for the final attacking player Rodgers wants
 
Not sure most of them are realistic to be honest. Doubt we'll buy a marquee player, and most of those won't want to join us.

Muniain would be a push, but it would be a step up for him to move to LFC. Willian only because of the financial troubles at Anzhi, although others are likely to come in for him

Willian still has a price of about 30m euros, and is being courted by CL level teams.

Muniain at a club who came 12th in La liga last season
Konoplyanka in the Ukranian leagues, big step up for him to the Premier League
Ljajic only has a year left on his deal at Fiorentina
Lamela is possibly the most unlikely.. If available bigger clubs are likely to join in the race
Willian because of Anzhi's financial troubles, but again similar to Lamela
Luis Muriel at a club who is not doing the best in Italy, would again be a step up in joining LFC

Think all are 'realistic' but actually getting them is a completely different question

Price wouldnt be a problem if indeed we wanted him... Costa and Mkhitaryan both cost close to that

Problem would be the other teams interested, very unlikely but maybe an option to think about

For that LW position I'd say most likely are Ljajic and Ayew. Both have release clauses so would be rather straightforward deals. Ayews at 18m euros and Ljajic's at 12m euros. Fiorentina thought might sell for cheaper as only club now looking at Ljajic is Milan and rather than reinforce their competitor for CL spot they'd rather sell to Liverpool

Anzhi rejected City's bid of 30m if those stories are right and expect something around 40m for him.

Ljajic is trying to force a move to Milan

Muriel is actually playing Euro footy with Udinese

Willian will probably go to somewhere like City

Lamela will end up with another CL IF he even leaves Roma

Only Kono is what i would call a realistic target. Maybe Muriel and Ljajic at a push

Lamela and Willian are definitely outside options, bigger club will almost certainly be interested if they came available

The rest all could be targeted, there is no harm in inquiring.. especially Muniain

Yeap. There doesn't seem to be too much money available for transfers.
Click to expand...

Mkhitaryan bid of 25mil euros
Costa bid of 21.8mil
Papa bid of 12m earlier in the summer

high bids have been made, they have just either rejected us or the offer has been rejected... money seems to be there

After the imminent Downing departure our net spend this window will be -3million

oh we have the money, we have only spent about 3 million net spend

Yeah your owners do have money, but every transfer so far has followed a sale to cover the costs ( sensible yes ) and there are some inconsistencies like Reina loan to save money and your attempt to loan Cissokho instead of buying him straight.

Its more of a case to remove the deadwood and the poor signings of past management

Reina was going to be 2nd choice and on 100k a week.. just didnt make sense him being around unfortunately and Cissokho shown alot of promise as a youngster but has dropped off in recent years, sensible to have an agreed fee and look at the player first before committing
 
Rodgers:

" No doubt, Coutinho's best position is the no. 10. That's where he affects the game best. There's money there available to get the right types of players, but we dont want to panic and just bring in anyone " ( A la, Carroll )

" It has to be someone who can come in and improve the team and once we get the right kind of quality to put on the sides, he ( Coutinho) will play in that central role. "
