Liverpool Football Formation

Creation DateAugust 21, 2012

Lineup (4-3-3)

Reina · Agger · Skrtel · Enrique · Johnson · Allen · Lucas · Gerrard · Assaidi · Suarez · Borini

Our current first XI. Looks good, but not sure if BR likes to pick the same front 3 as me. But this formation is probably our best atm, but the worrying thing is the deadwood from last season. Downing, Adam, Spearing, Carroll. Hendo I know is going to be quality in this side but he doesn't get the nod over neither Lucas nor Allen, Shelvey is a more than good enough back-up for Gerrard and defense is looking strong. But as Carroll and Downing is massively under-performing and Maxi, Kuyt and Bellamy are sold we DEFINITELY need more attackers. Looking like a striker is likely to come in, but if we get 1 striker and 1 more winger we are looking good. 1 midfield prospect wouldn't do us bad either. This are my preferred transfers:
Adrian Lopez, Atletico Madrid. 24 years old. He is almost a Torres reborn. Good technique, powerful finishing and of course, Spanish, which is a huge bonus for our playing style. He is highly regarded in Atl. Madrid so £10m+ is probably the only way to get him here. The bonus is that he is not sought-after, so he wouldn't get any pressure to succeed. A class player to summarize.
Nathan Redmond, Birmingham City. 18 years old. What a prospect this lad is. Don't get concerned by the age. He is maybe not the most mature player yet, but he is so daring in his play that wouldn't be a problem. The main reason for picking this player, is because he is English and young, and would probably not cost more than £10m. Only concern is if he'll fit in our style, but that will come with age.
Marco van Ginkel, Vitesse Arnhem. 19 years old. A great, great prospect. He is very over much overlooked due to the other prospects currently in Holland, so he wouldn't be expensive, not at all. Currently has 3 goals in 4 games in the Europa League qualifiers, so is a goalscoring threat as well. If we are to sign him, I would bet his price would be about £5m pounds, so could turn to be a real bargain.
