Liverpool close in on £15m duo: have they struck a bargain?

Image for Liverpool close in on £15m duo: have they struck a bargain?

fabian delphGiven what we’ve seen of The Reds thus far this season, it’s fairly clear that Brendan Rodgers will want to spend some cash during the January transfer window. There are a lot of issues with this squad and a good deal of them can’t be fixed with the club’s current personnel.

Unfortunately, it’s not very likely that Brendan Rodgers will have a good deal of money to spend this January. After all, he went all out during the summer. Following the loss of Luis Suarez he spent big on footballers like Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic and yes, Mario Balotelli.

A lot of these new additions have struggled to make their mark and this is one of the reasons why The Reds have been so inconsistent this year.

It’s with this in mind, that I’m sure Brendan Rodgers will be on the hunt for a couple of bargains this January. He’ll want to sign players who can make a major impact on the pitch, not on the club’s bank account.

This leads me to The Metro‘s claim that The Reds are targeting two Aston Villa players: Fabian Delph and Ron Vlaar. As Villa players go, these two look like the pick of the litter. As it happens, both players contract’s are running out and they’ll be available as a free transfers in the near future.

If Rodgers decides to move in this January, there’s a good chance that he’ll be able to engineer a cut price deal. Indeed, the aforementioned source claims that this dynamic duo could may only cost Liverpool £15m. That’s a good price for two established international footballers.

Ron Vlaar is the real coup here. I’d argue that he’s one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League (he’s certainly one of the most experienced). Delph isn’t too shabby either, with his boundless energy and confident running both on and off the ball. Both players should be able to make an immediate impact at the club.

Isn’t that exactly what Brendan Rodgers is looking for?

      What the fuck are you talking about ???? – no sense at all !!!

    • Scoobsy says:

      Oh you’re having a laugh! Just wait till Fifa 16 comes out and the market place is a little more realistic! There is no club that could survive 12 out and 8 in, including a new coach and do anything other than burn money! The values on the players you are looking to offload are way over the top (15m for Allen!), and so the outlay would likely be close to another 100m, and we would not be in any better position.

      I’d like to see us stick with the 3-4-3 formation or a 3-5-2, start to bring Can on as a defensive mid and try to see if we could pick up a powerhouse midfielder like Pogba. We need a new keeper, and I would suggest a sneaker bid to bring in Cech, followed by another pacey striker. I like the look of Aubameyang from Dortmund. With the other players we have and these three additions added to STABILITY, I think we could be pushing for another CL spot. If the manager had to go, then the only contender would be Klopp, with Hyypia as assistant.

      My team would then look like:
      Cech
      Skrtel – Louvren – Sahko
      Manquillo/Flanno Moreno
      Can – Henderson
      Sterling/Coutinho
      Aubameyang – Sturridge

    • Carl Mac says:

      Where to start with this one, apart from some of the other madness Jordan Henderson for £35m…did you forget to take your medication? As a fellow red I can tell you that you’ll be extremely disappointed at the clubs future transfer business!

  • B says:

    Boring to cost more then balotelli? Henderson for 35m, falcao to liverpool, selling lallana and skrtel – yu must b havin a laugh mate

    Skrtel Prob our best defender, lallana aint going nowhere, if balotelli goes for 10m den borini will go for 5m. Illaramendis a dream that won’t happen sorry

    Realistically we ain’t getting anyone except a keeper and that’s only because Jones is injured

  • Bruno Fotis says:

    Liverpool actually have a very good side don’t need to go crazy in the transfer market..Shagiri would be a brilliant signing but wouldn’t be to bothered if Liverpool Mis out.A DM is a must.This is the position I’ve screamed out for the past two seasons that Liverpool need.Lucas is good but not good enough.Reads the play well but lacks pace and his passing is no where near good enough.All the best sides have decent DM Liverpool don’t ..Asfor Balotelli anyone who seriously has a clue about the game would no this guy can play and to loan him out or sell him is absolutely fkn Ridiculous..When Sturridge comes back or if Liverpool can sign another top Striker Start two up front with Balotteli and another then you will see Balotteli come into the game and score plenty of goals..

    • Jake says:

      So, Bruno, you admit you have been screaming for Liverpool to sign a DM for the past two years, but to no avail? You should have considered fucking yourself instead. I am certain you would have better success at it.

    • Redbiz says:

      Well said Bruno. I would like to see Berahino in and liverpool to sell lambert and borini

  • Emmanuel Anfield says:

    All Liverpool players should plead to Gerrard to stay for another season because am dying.

  • heritage1984 says:

    i don’t want rodgers to remain the manager of liverpoolfc anymore. Febian delph is average. Ron vlaar is a good value that at £15m alone i can take him. Delph is no different from sterling,coutinho or markovic.

  • heritage1984 says:

    brenadan only became a good manager all of the sudden because luis suares was there. What did he archieve before he came lfc? I’m surprise that my lovely lfc is now going after a one-season-show-players/coaches.

  • airborne says:

    D only thing we need in LFC is a defensive midfielder with one very good attacker lik manzuki,benzema,berahino or levazzi.

  • rud says:

    It’s Jan. Just need a world class defensive Mid & a pacy Striker who can finish. 2 plyrs. That’s all. N Stay Calm.
