I've heard that Liverpool are supposedly skint - what with all the trouble between the Yanks and more talk of possible takeovers from DIC etc. If we have no money, why are we wasting what we do have on players that we don't need?
I'm talking about Gareth Barry, who seems to be highly over-rated to me. Yeah, he seems ok, but is he any better than Xabi? I think Xabi had a poor season last year, but I fully expect him to pull through and do better this coming season. What can Barry offer us that Xabi can't?
Surely we should be spening that money on a new striker or a new winger?! Whether we go for Villa and Silva, or any others, this seems to be where we fall down compared to the top two in the Premier League. In terms of strikers - Voronin can't hit a barn door, neither can Kuyt but he does seem to offer us something else (I'm still not convinced though!), and Crouch seems to be on his way out (god knows why?!). That leaves us Torres up top... what happens when he gets injured or, worse still, signs for Chelsea over the summer!!
I just think it's about time that we strnghten areas of our squad that need strengthening, and with world class players, if we are to stand any chance of pushing for the title any time soon.
