Well i suppose discussions have to come up sometime about what we're going to do in the upcoming transfer window so i suppose they can go hear? unless there is another thread, did a search didn't find any
heres what i think:
We don't need anyone. SHOCK AWE WOW
GK - Reina world class. Cavalieri - Adequate
RB: Arbeloa - Form of his life. Degen/Darby - Degen is crap..but i ll hold judgement for a few more games, Darby i highly rate as a prospect
CB: Sami/Carra/Agger/Skrtel. The Slovakian Slaughterer will be back by January and with that back four we have the right blend of youth experience and depth, deepest back four in the league
LB: Aurelio/Dossena/Insua. Dossena has struggled but he will adapt, Aurelio is brilliant when hes not shattering into a pile of glass and INsua has impressed when called upon (great prospect)
RW/RM: Kuyt/Pennant/Stevie?/ElZhar. Adequate if not spectacular, plus dirk is in the form of his life, expect pennant to leave but that means room for some of our youths to step up
CM: Gerrard/Alonso/Monster/Lucas/Plessis/Spearing, baring Xabi leaving one of our deeper areas, lucas WILL step up, solid depth in plessis and jay (who probably won't make it here) and will give any midfield in the world a run for its money
LW/LM: Babel, Riera,Bennayoun,ElZhar. Solid, sometimes spectacular, sometimes great, never lacking
ST: Torres/Keane/Babel/Ngog/Nemeth again spectacular on there day provided nando can shake off his little 12 month of playing omg straight injury, keane will come good and babel and ngog can fill in when required, nemeth on the other hand i want to see given a run if he can shake off his nagging injury
So why do we need anyone else?
I certainly don't think we don't bar some good youth prospects for cheap
Come on you reds, prove to us you belong
You have our support while you wear the red shirt
YNWA
RB - arbeloa has been playing great i agree, but what if he is suspended or injured, Degen is already injured and that leaves Darby, and we already seen that
Rafa rather put Carra at RB then start with the youngster.
I think if Skrtel comes back then Carra can be a RB backup but didnt look that good last time.
LB - aurelio when not injured is also improving and playing decent. Dossena still needs more time to adapt(dont know how long it will be, perhaps till next year)
then we have Insua only, another youngster who hasnt played.
Rafa would go with Dossena (probably monday as well) and just hope he can
prove many wrong and put in a solid performance. but it is definate worry.
RW - Kuyt has been playing excellent here, but now with Torres out again, he will be called upon to attack from front, with possibly Yossi playing at RW.
with Keane not yet firing them in, we need Kuyt's support in attacking. Pennant
is not going to get a game, Babel will never be used as RW (Rafas team anyway)
so that leaves Yossi, El Zhar, or Gerrard. El Zhar has played decent in games called upon but he also likes to cut inside like yossi, I think we might need someone here,
other areas are fine, but 3 areas we might need experienced backup if possible.
