Is This It

[Maestro]

I think we will try to add a left back but if you ask me we have all the attacking signings we will get.

It's not what I had in mind but I can see what we have doing very well actually. I think that the players we had last year have more to offer than they showed last year and the new recruits do offer a lot more scoring potential. I really think the way the season turns out will be down to whether we can get a front four who gel well and if players who may only be deployed in certain games like Pennant can keep motivated to improve and push for the first XI.

We needed added creativity and pace in our attacking players and we have that. I think goal threat and movement are more important than having players hugging the touchline. While I would have liked to have sen some of the wingers mentioned brought in I think that the way we have moved the side is an equally potentially effective way of moving forward.

It has to be remembered that we need to hit the ground running and it often takes time for flair players who play out wide and thus see less of the ball to settle. It may be that Rafa feels what we have done will improve the team more rapidly than adding conventional wingers who may be better added to a team that already challenges for the title.

It was tongue and cheek

Arbeloa can fill in at centre back, did he not play there regularly at Deportivo? he can also fill in at both full back positions, add to the mix Insua and we fairly well covered at full back.

I'd like a a centre back who can truly replace Hyypia (big, strong, excellent in the air and most importantly a bit of pace) its a shame the Chavs have already got Alex.

[Abro100]

Alex is rubbish.

[dww]

[Imy]

Alex is rubbish.

He had Tevez in his pocket in the Copa America

not knocking your opinion as everone is entitled to one but really, do you fall into the category of those that will just never be happy.

Maybe I'm of that category too. Its a fair comment I think.

There's almost no real 'news' on transfers anymore - with the club and the papers very quiet....DOES THIS MEAN that we have again not been able to buy/attract a quality out-and-out winger?

What happened to our interest in Simao / Queresmo / etc ?

I only ask because this has been one of our GLARING striking deficiencies over the past few years, and has held us back!

'Promise' (Babel) is one thing.....but delivering is quite another - look at Speedy and Harry!

Whilst I'm always there for my team......I do fear another 'almost' year coming along....!

This summer we have:

• Committed all our best players to long-term contracts
• Smashed our club record transfer fee to bring in Fernando Torres
• Brought in our third ever most expensive player in Ryan Babel from under the Arse's noses
• Bought a quality attacking midfielder in Yossi Benayoun
• Signed an excellent "fourth choice" striker in Andriy Voronin
• Stated that we will bring in another top player, probably a defender
• More or less signed the most exciting young central midfielder in Brazil in Lucas Leiva
• Brought in a load of quality youngsters
• Got rid of a lot of "deadwood"
• Announced the launch of LFC TV in September
• Brought in an ideal new Commercial Director to improve things off the pitch
• Radically changed the plans for the new stadium which will be unveiled next week

And still some people aren't happy...

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
I want Kaka, Tevez, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Alves and Robinho. I also want a 250,000 seat stadium, and for the gaffer to have 1Billion to spend EVERY YEAR.

Aye, not bad that.

And to think, a month ago, the forums were going ballistic because nothing was happening in the transfer market.

I am happy with all of that.
A lot of good work has been done.

Not to sure about Yossi, but I am willing to give him a season.
Still think we lack a real winger though.
