I'm going with neither option.
First and foremost you address the weak areas of the starting XI. That is CB, LB (yet to be addressed), RB (yet to be addressed), and ST (yet to be addressed). I can understand that Rodgers went into the market with an intent to A - addresses these problems areas and b - add depth to the squad.
Can, Lallana, Markovic, Lambert and Origi were not essential purchases in my opinion. They will add depth, sure, but it is highly questionable as to whether they will address our leaky problem in defence and whether they fill a void left by Luis Suarez.
CB - Lovren in my opinion is an important signing and therefore a good signing (I hope). He has leader qualities if which we have been missing since the retirement of Carragher. He should walk straight in and improve us.
RB - this young Athleti defender we signed is a gamble. He is on loan, yes, but his experience is not that great. I would have to favour Flanno over him for now, which is not ideal as Flanno can be improved on.
LB - expect this to be Moreno. Am confident we will finally agree something with Seville.
ST - have no a clue. Big problem area.
How I see the current team:
Mignolet
??.?? Lovren Sakho ??.??
Gerrard
Coutinho Hendo
??.?? Sturridge Sterling
Three key areas still needing to be addressed. This should have been the priority in my opinion.
So while we have added depth to our squad - Manquillo, Can, Lallana, Markovic, and Lambert.., we have still done little to address holes we have in our team.
