      I think signing Allen has sealed what has been a good week for Liverpool.

      A good performance and convincing win in the Europa league has helped erase from the memory our dire performance away.

      Carroll has turned down a huge offer from West Ham to fight for his place, the Agger rumours have died down (for the moment anyway), with perhaps the only bad/sad news being Craig leaving for Cardiff.

      Really looking forward to seeing how Joe will fit in and what he will bring to the team, its one thing seeing a few games or youtube highlights , but much better when you see them every game.

      Feeling very positive about the team at the moment, we still need another striker and possibly another wide player and even a right back given the chance, but I think things are starting to come together and as Hannibal said "I love it when a plan comes together."

      We do now seem over run with midfielders but short of goal scorers which is exactly why we had problems in the league last season.
      Adam,Allen,Gerrard,Spearing,Henderson,Shelvey,Lucas,Downing thats 8 without the young lads we saw on tour.
      A few worried people now which isnt a bad thing.

      Liverpool echo

           FRIGHTENING 


      Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers today hailed new signing Joe Allen as a ''unique and frightening talent''.
      The LFC manager believes he has signed the hottest property in European football as the 22 year old Welsh midfielder signed a long term contract after agreeing a £15m switch from Swansea.

       full story:-      http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2012/08/11/joe-allen-is-a-unique-and-frightening-talent-says-liverpool-fc-manager-brendan-rodgers-100252-31599419/

      Well Downing is playing further forward so strike him off your list. Can see Adam going and Spearing leaving wouldn't be a bad thing - which leaves 5/6 for 3 positions - good squad depth.

      We are by no means over stacked with midfielders.

      Dismiss Stevie as a full time midfielder. Add in the question marks over Adam and Spearing. Add in we cried over not having cover for Lucas last season.

      This point in time we have Allen, Lucas, Shelvey, Henderson. Stevie when required and Spearing and Adam as cover. Not really over burdend for me

      Agree with this. We may be overstaffed if you factor in Adam and Spearing, but I think at least one of them will be leaving. That leaves us with cover for each of the three midfield positions and good squad depth.

      Welcome to Liverpool Football Club Joe Allen, i hope you have a long and prosperous stay and produce the goods required to get us back to where we belong.

      No Alonso comparisons please, i think it's plain to see that Rodgers wants 11 Alonso's in the side and that's great for us.

      The fee has to be forgotten, we got the player that Brendan Rodgers wanted, that's all that matters.

      It looks like City are buying Rodwell from Everton for a rumoured £25mil !

      Makes the £15mil for Jose Alleno cheap as chips
