Liverpool's take on the Transfer Window

Liverpool FC has made it known that transfer windows are not their forte. With their recent struggles, Liverpool supporters have urged their club to make some stellar signings that can lift the club. Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, however, has claimed that Liverpool will not take part in much activity during the transfer window, as he “does not want to stockpile players here”. Rodgers believes that there are players within the squad that can help the team succeed in the second half of the season. Although, he states “if there was something there we felt would improve us for the short-term and long-term, we would pretty much do that”.

On the other hand, however, selling players has been no problem for Liverpool Football Club. Recently two players have made an exit from Liverpool during this January transfer window. Although unofficial, Suso is said to sign a four year contract with AC Milan soon as he was spotted having a medical at the club a couple of days ago. Supporters believe that his departure from the club is a shame as he could have made a huge impact if he had been given the opportunity. Oussama Assaidi, former Heerenveen player, came to Liverpool for approximately 3 million pounds, and is leaving to the United Arab Emirates side, Al Ahli, for 4.3 million pounds. Liverpool managed to make a profit on the player. To the club’s benefit there have been various different offers on the likes of Lucas Leiva from Inter Milan, Fabio Borini from Sunderland and QPR, and Rickie Lambert from Crystal Palace. None of the offers are currently being taken into consideration by Liverpool.

Brendan Rodger’s has made it clear that the injured players returning in the near future will serve as new signings who will help Liverpool triumph. Daniel Sturridge, who suffered a thigh injury back in September was scheduled to make a comeback in November but got injured once more and is now set to return by the beginning of February. One of the key players in last season’s successful title run, having Daniel Sturridge back in the squad would serve as a huge boost for the club. Adam Lallana, new to the club since July 2014, injured his thigh as well during Liverpool match against Leicester on New Year’s Day. 4 goals in 21 appearances for the club, Lallana was starting to settle in. On Saturday, January 17th 2015, in the match against Aston Villa, Adam Lallana made it back into the bench, although Lallana isn’t rumored to start against Chelsea tonight, January 20th 2015, in the first leg of the Capital Cup semi final. Out since Liverpool’s pre-season tour in July, full back, Jon Flanagan, is expected to make a return sometime soon. Although a specific date hasn’t been released, Brendan Rodgers has stated in a press conference that his return is expected “in the near future.” Manager, Brendan Rodgers, has also expressed his sentiments towards the fullback’s injury, as he believes that Jon Flanagan is “absolutely superb, he’s a very important young player for us.”

Having these players make a comeback will give the club a huge boost. After Liverpool’s victory against Aston Villa (2-0, Borini 25’, Lambert 79’) supporter’s faith in top four hopes has been restored. The club is fully expecting to improve their record even more when Lallana, Sturridge, and Flanagan are back!
