With Fabio Borini out injured and Andy Carroll on-loan to West Ham United, the English Premier League giants are expected to sign goal poachers in the transfer window
There is little arguing to the statement that Liverpool FC are struggling to get more goals since the start of English Premier League campaign this term after lacking quality offensive players in the squad.
Brendan Rodgers' men have recorded just three wins in total, of which two of them came on Anfield, and scored just 17 goals in 12 league appearances this season. As things stand, they are at the 11th spot on the league
table with 15 points.
Rodgers was highly interested in bringing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 and Clint Dempsey to Merseyside club after loaning out Andy Carroll to West Ham United in the summer transfer window. However, he failed to complete a deal after the cash-strapped
owners pulled the plug.
It looks like that the Reds, who once dominated the region with 18 league titles and five major European trophies, have lost their confidence due to the frequent change of management in recent years.
Despite already sacking Roy Hodson and Kenny Dalglish in recent years, the Fenway group looks set to give Brendan Rodgers more time as compared to his predecessors after promising him more sufficient funds to build up a squad he
can call his own.
The former Reading boss has reportedly invested 30 million Euros to sign Joe Allen, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 respectively since leaving the Liberty stadium last summer.
But Names like Lacina Traore, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 after Rodgers reiterated a desire to sign one
or two strikers in January.
Given that the owners have provided Rodgers with a limited budget for the upcoming transfer window, Rodgers needs to free up some cash after selling the likes of Steward Downing and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Cole-c18694 this winter.
Bettor.com presents their respective readers with the names that can help the English outfit in their quest to clinch the top-four spot.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar
Age: 29
Role: Striker
Club: Schalke 04
Although the Dutch striker was not in Juande Ramos' squad that travelled to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 to play in the UEFA Champions League’s round-of-16 against the Reds three years ago, he might have been told by his team-mates what happened to
them at Anfield.
Liverpool progressed to the quarter-finals of the European tournament after defeating Real Madrid 5-0 on aggregate.
Rodgers can get Huntelaar, who has scored 69 goals for the German club in all competitions after leaving AC Milan back in 2010, for as little as 6 million Euros.
Fernando Llorente
Age: 27
Role: Striker
Club: Athletic Bilbao
Although the Spanish club have reiterated their desire of keeping their favourite goal-scorer at San Mames stadium (Bilbao), they will find it difficult to hold onto their prized asset whose contract expires next summer.
There is little arguing to the statement that the Spanish striker, who is known for a decent touch and brilliant aerial ability, earned himself a reputation of a proven goal-scorer wherever he played in his career.
He might get some burden off Luis Suarez shoulders for sure as he can be considered as a cheap and quick solution to problems.
