There are some (ahem) Rash 
members who seem to feel that because United are after certain players, we should also be after them.
United have now spent around £50m on three players who are effectively cover for the first team with the view to step up in a few years time. The reason for this is that United already have a first team capable of winning the league and can afford the luxury of buying potentially great players who will enforce what they already have. Here is a prediction, United have still yet to make their main Summer signing. The only player they need to step into the side straight away is a striker.
Liverpool don't have a team capable of winning the league, so to go out and buy players who would probably take a few years to settle into the English game (particularly the great youtube pair of Nani and Anderson) would not only be (ahem) Rash it would be stupid because with those players they would suffer because they would be expected to deliver from day one and we would not be any closer to winning the league.
So what do we need?
Obviously from the European Cup Final we are short of attacking wide players and strikers. We need to find players who can immediately fit into the team while at the same time building up the reserves with potential (Nemeth, Insua etc). Our luxury buys are in the areas where we have strength, being central midfield, defence and goal (I think Carson will leave). That is why we have bought Lucas.
Malouda is a rumour and it would be (ahem) Rash to think otherwise, but I am convinced the bulk of the money we spend will be on attackers and attacking midfielders who are established internationals with European Cup experience.
It's simple really, like shredded wheat.
