Lingard isn't consistent enough. We need a bigger step up than him if we want to go places. Then again, he'd be up against Bailey for a place.

yep not sure sure how that would go down with the bean counters, replacing a 30m pound player in 3 months. Mind he could go with the 4-2-3-1 (spit) and play him in the middle with Buendia on the right and bailey on the left and then we could try another way of letting the opposition run through our midfield

Well Mr. Gerrard seems to have a preference for playing South American drug barons up front, so if Ollie's prepared to get tatted up, a severe haircut and practice looking menacing in the mirror I think he'll get the gig. Ings - 25m to Burnley in January to make room for Defoe.

Ings has already got that in fairness, though they both sound like nice, well rounded young men when they talk.

Interesting that he mentioned in his first interview how they need to 'focus on what they have in the building' for the next 6 weeks. I'm assuming that means until the transfer window opens, and I'm taking it as a hint of some incomings in January.

Kamara you're shopping in the Nakamba market. Could come off but is the SPL more of a dead cert than the Dutch or Belgium league for quality? I'd hope we'd be looking at better

He plays alright for Finland in fairness and think he's got more of a physical edge and better positioning than Nakamba.

Perhaps not a long term solution at DM for where we want to go but I'd be o.k getting him in Jan as starter for rest of the season and then he goes back to a sub option next season.

Seems Gerrard was really supportive when Ings did his ACL about 5 games in to his Liverpool career.

He'll be number one striker here, don't think there's any doubt. Ollie will have to work things out from out wide or on the bench as he's really not playing well enough to justify his place currently.

Flash in the pan player, can have his moments. Also the off field issues are a worry.

I think we don't need a lot of players, for me the ones that come in need to be Marked improvements on what we have

Aye, you could be right. Whether Watkins is going to live with seeing his England chances go down the pan is another thing. Two months on the bench and he could be off in January.

Sounds about right though, if so, I hope Ollie can be a success out wide. We need to find a way to accommodate them both that works - they are great players.

Why on earth would there be no doubt? Watkins is a fabulous player, whose work ethic and willingness to learn has been discussed at length. He scored a lot of goals and was a constant menace in defense with his pressing game.
