      FFS, be really really pissed off if we go for loads of squaddies again. That will get us absoloutely nowhere. We have the squad depth, now we need the 1st team strength.
      3rd place. Worst champions ever.

        We sign squadies while the true title contenders will sign big names most likely, taking them further away from us. But i suppose we can't spend what we don't have.

          Perhaps he had a meeting with the DIC people too.
          Oh I don't know.

            Both GG and TH don't want to look like they're holding Rafa back from doing what he wants to do, both of them want to look good. Rafa is the strongest figure in the club at the moment, he's untouchable, after the fans have made it clear that they're behind him, nobody can mess with him.

              What we need this summer are the following, in my humble opinion:

              A full back that is able to both defend and add to our attacking play;

              A creative 'link' player that can play just behind Torres but will also chip in with a decent amount of goals over the season so that we don't just rely on FT and SG;

              A quality winger who is also capable of scoring around 10 goals over a season (I'd sacrifice this one though if we paid for a top quality 'link' player [above]);

              Reserve goalkeeper - I'd sell Carson as he'll want regular first team football (and he won't get that at LFC) and I don't think Itandje is up to the job if Reina suffered an injury;

              A couple of young 'hopefuls' to add to our growing list of potential looking to break into the first team squad over the coming seasons.

              It doesn't look like we will have the millions we had last summer to spend once again, but if we had half that (i.e. £15-20m) and whatever we get for outgoing transfers then we should be ok.

              Outgoing players should include:

              Carson, Guthrie, Pennant, Kewell (no fee), Itandje.

                Couldnt agree more about your choice of positions we need to buy for Taffy, although I think we'll need more that £15-20m.

                      Why is it a surprise that G&H will invest in the playing staff? The value and perceived quality of the squad will have a direct impact on the value of the club and therefore their profit. It's not like they'll be paying for them anyway - whoever buys them out and takes on their debt will be.

                      They may be at odds, but they are not stupid and they do have at east one thing in common - they want to make a return on their investment. You don't do that by standing still (which is the same as going backwards if everyone else is strengthening).

                        I'm playing all the right notes. Not necessarily in the right order. I'll give you that, sunshine.

                          I'd keep hold of Yossi if we can. I think he's had a fairly good season and has given us a little extra something off the bench.
