Come on lads and lasses

[Pacman]

Lets start talking about what these sites should be used for 'Liverpool Football Club'

How to you think we'll fair next season? I think if we can sign one or two more quality players we'll have the best squad for years.

I think we need another forward and RW I just hope Rafa is given the cash to do this.

How do you think we'll line up next season? I think we might play more like we did away to Newcastle last season with 3 at the back. I can Agger getting more games but alongside Carra and Sami.

Any thoughts?

Well in mate. I think Rafa will shape the side to best test the opposition on the day, as he did brilliantly against the Toon last season. With more 'possibilities' this time around, on the left already with Aurelio and Gonzalez in the mix, and hopefully on the right too with a couple more signings, hopefully Alves as he's clearly Rafa's No 1 target and maybe Pennant as well, he'll be in a better position to change things more often. As you say, it's important he gets the cash he needs because we're still short-handed up front too.

What we need above all else though is to get off to a flyer - our sluggish start last year really cost us in the end.

[Joey Jones]

I agree with you that we need another striker and a right winger. I'm sure the Board would give Rafa the money if the right player/players come along.

On another point when does the transfer window close?

Don't now about the line up for next season, probably depends on which players come in before the start of the season!

What about who will be the first choice strike partnership? Crouch/Bellamy or Crouch/Fowler and Bellamy on the right??

Have you seen the quotes from Kuyts agent tonight?

[nigecardiff]

yep must get the RW and ST, hopefully Alves and Kuyt are our men.

The tranfer window closes on August 31st at midnight.

Transfer window doesn't close for a while mate a fair few weeks of gossip colums and parying yet.

It usually shuts on the 31st August I think.

One thing I'm hoping Rafa does next season is consistently play two strikers AS strikers - none of this lone striker with the other stuck out on the wong business. I can see him spending a couple or so months experimenting with the best strike partnership from Bellamy/Crouch/Fowler/Kuyt until he finds the best, then sticking with it the way Ged with Houllier - though only so long as it stays effective (unlike Ged).

I'm also hoping he repeats that 3-defenders formation a few times.

I'm curious as to which of the youngsters will come through, e.g. Hammill, Anderson, Hobbs, Antwi. And will Paletta have a long stint in the reserves or quickly make the first team?

If Anderson keeps playing like he did on Saturday I think he might get a few chances from the bench this season. If we get another striker I can see Rafa playing with 2 up front. Playing with one doesn't seem to work in England but I think we'll have lots of different formations and options next season. I also think Bellamy is the best bit of business any club will do in the close season.

praying I must start reading my posts before I submit them

[Shaggy]

I'm more excited about this coming season than I've ever been since the emergence of pubic hair.

[Pacman]

What's he said?

Basically that he thinks Kuyt will leave Feynord in this window and that he has his heart set on England. The reporter kept on asking if he was joining Liverpool and he wouldn't comment but did say the price in the papers that Feynord want is rubbish it's lower.
