What's gone wrong since Jan 2009?

If O'Neill only managed to buy 1 striker in 4 years (and 9 transfer windows) how do you expect Houllier to buy one in none?

[ronshirt]

We've needed a striker for years.

We need a goal-scorer and always have done it seems for the last 40 years. Someone who just scores goals like it's the easiest thing in the world. We've had Little, Gray, Shaw and Withe and after that who?

Yorke

Yorke

Shit. I've just been Yorked. Now I know how the Aussies feel.

[hawkeye]

ah goal scorers they are as rare as rocking horse shit, something you can not train or develop, you either have it or you dont 99% of players dont and in the modern age they seem to be getting even more rare, so many players have all the attributes to play up front except the one that really matters, scoring (Gabby Heskey vassell) there is a real derth of goal scorers

Two, to be fair.

One of whom was utterly shit, the other who was given to us by, errr, whatsisface.

Three.

The summer of 2010, The Club became inactive in the transfer market, waited for the WC to end before resolving the Milner situation and by the time the squad turned up for training nothing had happened, then the focus was on Milner, the result was we start the season with the same squad, sell milner get Ireland, MOn walks. It seems that RL became an absentee Landlord during the summer. The dice by then had been cast

Carew, Heskey & Harewood. Do we count Maloney? Sutton? Probably not.

Replace Ashley Young for Milner this summer and you may have a similar situation.

All Randy has to do to shut doubters (like me) up is buy some players.  If he isn't going to sack Houllier, he needs to back him as The General promised he would.

If Wayne bridge joins i will see that as a massive positive sign. Beat other clubs to his signature, pay his wage etc. Good left back and no risk as on loan.

[Risso]

Signing Wayne Bridge on 90K a week would be mental.  There's spending money, then there's putting it on a bonfire, dousing it in petrol and setting fire to it.

The problem is that we are not in a position to attract the type of players that will make a big difference, we are in the market for unproven potential or players on thier last hurah because established or accomplished players will not join us in the state we are now

[Risso]

Well in that case we might as well get used to life in the Championship because Houllier isn't going to keep us up with the players he has.
