Conversation with an ex red today, before i begin it's an opinion and he didn't give inside information as he doesn't know in all honesty.

He's of the opinion Walcott has wanted a central role for a long time and could make the perfect striker for LFC, fast, technically gifted more rounded than sterling at this stage and probably able to play alongside Sturridge.

If Rodgers stays and looks to continue with 3 at the back another CB could be looked at as he's not convinced by Lovren.

Typical Rodgers,spends 20 mil on a defender he's not convinced with. Did the same with sakho albeit only 18mil.

Nobody is convinced by Rodgers he should be the one going.

Not for me thanks.
Walcott would be decent out wide (if he can stay fit) but he's not good enough to play central for an entire season

use sinclair, really. save the money and buy a better striker. walcott is just as injury prone as sturridge is, this does not make any sense.

Walcott is awful. 25 games or so in the last 2 years? Poor record, if we sign him then someone needs sacking.

I would take personally take Walcott + 20-30mln for Sterling provided
1) we also get Ings to be no.2/3 striker and
2) there's not a top class striker like Vietto/Higuan or similar available in this window

Best case he proves himself in a Sturridge/Walcott frontline with Ings/Origi as backup strikers. would frighten the heck out of me with Coutinho/Llalana positioned just behind them to fee their runs! Worst case is Walcott reverts to being a wide forward and we have 20mln to spend when a genuinely world class no.9 does become available

Better than spending 20-30mln on an average striker in this window if nothing else is out there. I think we've seen from Balo, Lambert and Borini what buying a second tier striker does for the team

Great. £20m wasted. Try Lloyd Jones or Ilori and use money elsewhere. We need a top striker, no more average make do players please.

So that's another 25m then, for another CB. Incompetence!

Sounds like another summer of shocking transfer business
60 million on defenders in two years and still wants another
If he's not convinced by Lovren why buy him it's his coaching that's caused his form.
AW won't play Walcot up top because he's not Good enough to play there. enter Brenda Rodgers

He's making approaches for Martinez of sociedad, it's pretty well documented. Decent enough player although as previously mentioned illori and Jones deserve a crack.
In terms of striker it's mainly a case of who can we attract, personally for me its got to be son and vietto/dyabla. That's what you call striking fear in to the opposition

Those of you advocating for us signing Walcott, a few facts. He has missed nearly 75% of the last two years because of injury, he is turning 27 so that's not going to get better any time soon. He has never scored much more than 10 in even his best season and his end product is poor. Do you guys seriously think he would be a good signing in this light? Some of yous need your heads testing!

Walcott is about as 'technically gifted' as Jon Walters, the worst premier league player ever seen
