Looks like Gareth's going to be left out to dry. Shame, as him and Gerrard had potential.

The Times sez Arbeloa's going back to Spain for "personal reasons," which is a bit of a drag given we're hawking Finnan to all comers and this Degen fella's a bit unknown.
Carra at right back, anyone?
Leto's been loaned out to Olympiakos. Be surprised to see him again.
Hansen reckons we need three or four players

Not excited by the summer transfer action so far. Degen & Dossena aren't top drawer, the Barry saga has been a drag. Keane is a good player, albeit overpriced. It seems Rafa is trying to buy more experienced and reliable players to tide us over for a couple of years until the young lads come good. Let's hope they do.
That's impressive boobage on Gerrard's bird.

Talking of which.. In The Times today, Oliver Kay mentions the extent of our youth policy.

Not really a youth policy though is it? Hoovering up Hungarians in the hope that one of them might turn out to be ok is the type of policy that benefits neither the selling club (who lose players that might be worth a lot more when developed), nor the player (who rarely break into the first team), nor even the buying club (since their own youth players, of which you did have lots, tend not to get a look-in)

It's a youth policy in that the club is investing in young players. Hoovering Hungarians, indeed. There's only four of them.

Good. Nice to see some swift transfer activity.
Everton have signed Moutinho. Oh hang on, no they haven't.
He's on £20k p/w for his footballing ability and £60k a week to not do his cringing gun shot celebration according to reports.

V Good signing imho
I rate him, but last time I saw him play he had the chances to bury us and didn't take them. Kewell scored a wonder goal and we ended up winning 1-0.
He works hard for the team, he's a good player, but yet to be seen if he's a V good signing.

Sounds like a very unusual game to me
I reckon him and torres will be a very tidy partnership, still don't see you challenging though will be a better team with him in.....we shall seechristonabike

I got a text alert today saying they'd signed a couple of players - Robatelli from Italy and some Japanese international called Nikamota

That's an interesting article. I think the policy is good for Liverpool, but not necessarily for English football. Now even reserve and youth teams are being filled up with foreign players. I don't see how else Liverpool and Arsenal can compete with Man U and Chelsea though, because we don't have the capacity to (over)spend the way they do. Both clubs still have the worldwide name and cachet to persuade young players to join them, especially to exploit the fact that in some countries (e.g. Spain) players can't sign a pro contract until they're 18.

I wish they'd fucking pack it in, TBH. The Kennedy move was a one-off, a stroke of absolute genius.
If we've just spunked £19 mill on a 15 goals-a-season central striker who we're gonna be hoping can dash down the wing and plant crosses on Torres' head all year I'm gonna spit.
If, however, we end up playing that fluid 3-up that those other cunts play with the 3 ugly sisters, I'll be fucking delighted.

I hink Rafa is genuinly looking for a second striker to play alongside Torres. Torres proved in the Euros that he could set up goals as well as score them and I for one would much prefer a team with three players scoring 15-20 goals a season than just one scoring 32....
