I hope to see more Plessis, Nemeth, Pacheco, and San Jose, among others, next season, but I imagine it'll be mainly in the Carling Cup.<BR/><BR/>Fullbacks have always been the most important part of the summer spending for me, and it's why I'm so pleased about Dossena, which I'll write more about when it gets finalized, if it actually goes through.<BR/><BR/>In addition, Liverpool could do with another attacker, preferably one that could play anywhere along the 3 in the 4-2-3-1. I can dream that signing would be Villa, but I doubt it, and Modric was the player I'd hoped for all season long, which is why his early transfer to Spurs still bothers me.<BR/><BR/>But most of the players rumored to be sold will need to be replaced as well. Alonso will have to be replaced by Barry or someone similar. If Crouch goes, Liverpool need another striker. Dossena is replacing Riise, but that was a necessary upgrade. Pennant and Carson can probably go with no repercussions though, but otherwise, Liverpool's still spending even after selling those on who are outside the first XI.<BR/><BR/>Admittedly, I am far more worried about the stadium financing though, I do like Liverpool's squad, even if the spending this summer isn't as high as hoped.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-41582598295189978232008-06-21T09:51:00.000-04:002008-06-21T09:51:00.000-04:00Nate, what do you think this squad needs in terms ...Nate, what do you think this squad needs in terms of summer transfers? With the number of youth brought into the academy under Rafa, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect this squad to be strengthened from within. So why not sell to buy, when you don't need what you're selling? <BR/><BR/>The silence on the stadium is a huge concern. I don't think G & H have the $$$ to build it and I think they have just come to realize this. Hubris and the credit crunch have conspired against them. Now....will they be true to their word and be good stewards for the club? Because a good steward would sell to someone with the money to move LFC forward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-37580916634031545142008-06-20T21:19:00.000-04:002008-06-20T21:19:00.000-04:00really faint silver lining ..... there wont be a s...really faint silver lining ..... there wont be a sale to get both of them out unless theyre on good terms, because hicks made it clear he would block that. maybe if they get back together in a working fashion they will be able to settle down and realize the mess theyre in.<BR/><BR/>reaching? you betcha<BR/>but its somethingBackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.com
