Liverpool : A False Dawn?

Just like last post-season summer passed away with loads of speculations and transfer rumours but no end-product, it seems that these summers are also passing by. Although its just been 6 days into the 3 month long transfer season, its been difficult lately to keep up the spirits. While Gerrard and Carragher re-signings have given a boost to the moral, it was very much expected and what really can help is a top target being signed. Agreed, the Spanish season is yet to end, and our primary targets lie in Spain, but the low-key being kept at Anfield is a little disturbing.

One huge problem that I think in the Liverpool side now is the defensive central midfield. Many-a-times we find oursleves only able to lob a high pass directly to Kuyt who chests it down for Gerrard, who hasnt been in very good form this season or we have have wingers taking the ball into the corner and the ball into the center is a poor one, or Kuyt misses. We need to give our strikers better scoring chances if we want them to score.

Anyway, like everybody, I have an opinion on who should be signed and so I’ll list down my choices that I believe will bring a revolution at Anfield.

Daniel Alves(16m)- The signing of this player is a must, if we even want to think about being Premiership winners side next season. He is a quality right back and right winger who has time and again shown his quality playing with Sevilla.

Motren Gamst Pedersen( 9m) - Quality left winger and cheapest of all. Great volley technique and heading ability; gets into positions and does the job, and also sends in good quality crosses; Premiership proven.

Simao Sabrosa(10m/Cisse exchange)- Good Quality, can play on both sides on the field. Would fit in perfectly in Rafa's plans.

Diego Ribas De Cunha(dont know!)- Voted best player in the Bundesliga season 06-07, he looks to be a great attacking midfielder.

Lukas Podolski (18m)- I think he would be a better solution to a striking option than Eto’o and would play well alongside Kuyt.

Gabriel Milito (10m)- To strengthen our defense when it seems to fail. Setpieces have been a problem throughout the season.

This is roughly about 80m pounds. Together with the summer clearout of Bellmay, Cisse, Zenden , Gonzalez, Fowler, of 20m pounds, we would spending a net amount of 60 million pounds. This will surely see us giving a major Premiership title challenge to ManU and Chelshit. (If you’re wondering why I didn’t write manure, its an old thing.)

And for gods’ sake, Rafa, will you quit goofing around and give players to settle down rather then rotating every weekend.
