we can't sign joe allen anyway, due to the 1 year embargo on signing swansea players,
I like the direction we are going now, with the probably signing of borini, rodgers seems to know his stuff when it comes to finding younger cheaper talent, and he's already shown he's above throwing as much money as he can at players to get them to sign (sigurdsson) so hopefully we will be moving away from expensive flops like downing and co.
we need better backup for lucas, we found out last season that without him our team goes to shit, and spearing/henderson/shelvey really aren't capable of taking on that same role that masch/alonso did before him
defence i think is OK atm, imo people like coates/wilson need to get played more, or go out on loan for a seaon to a low table club to get experience, cause they are great prospects being wasted away on the bench, we are pretty solid in fullbacks, with kelly/johnson and enrique (johnson and agger covering left too) we could maybe do with better insurance for enrique but we have people like jack robinson to fill in anyway
midfield, imo we could do with a decent holding midfielder, and two good wingers, left/right. get rid of downing and free up some funds, cause he's contributed nothing this season, someone who can do a similar role to bellamy would be good, since his impact has been huge.
the last thing we need is a real poacher, an old school michael owen type player who can just sit in the box and smash in whatever comes to him, or someone who can let suarez take up that role like he did for ajax, our lack of goalscoring has hurt us, and cost us massively, but i think if it's addressed, we can probably start climbing back up the table
