TBH, while I would like to see us sign a wide player, Crouch leaving meant that priority one was probably a striker. If we'd have signed Quaresma and then Torres got injured we'd have been in all sorts of problems.

Possibly true.

Still think you could have gone for a slightly lower profile winger though - someone like Ben Arfa or Rosina maybe

I thought you wanted to sell him...you're right though, he won't end up back here.

Deano-West Ham United wrote:He's never going to be a starter though is he?...depends on whoelse you sign aswell...

As I say, the story has only just been released, and I don't know if they have actually clocked onto something, or it's bullshit.

I just thought I'd post it...

Don't know about Rosina but I'd put ben Arfa at the same sort of level as Babel.

In a ideal world we would be able to sign one or two 20-year-old hot prospects and still spend £20-£20m on an established player over the summer. But if our funds are limited I'd rather see the established player at the moment.

So in an ideal world, Liverpool would be Manchester United?!!
