Big Liverpool fan here. My favorite team.
Regarding the signings over the summer, the owners and the board really need to sort things out. It is embarrassing to the club over these transfer dealings (especially the one with barry, which at the end, "lost" the transfer battle to a mid-table club). Can you imagine one Chelsea (well, beside the robinho to mancity thing) or ManU losing out on a deal like that? As one of the big4, you need to play your big4 card and seal big names signing. If you can splash 20mil pounds for robbie keane (who I thought should not be a priority signing, we need wingers for width); there is no way you cannot splash 18mil for barry. Although I am kind of glad that we did not get barry, and instead get to keep Alonso (who is my favorite pool player after gerrard and torres). He's just class act. His passing is superb (probably one of the best in the world at the defensive mid position), and underrated defensive coverage covering gerrard at the back.
I was hoping we can get Querezma. But that was a long shot anyways. The new spaniard winger should be alright, but Rafa needs to start splashing cash out for proven players. Getting keane was a good buy (too much tho, I rather spend that to get silva). Hopefully that 20mil pounds is a good investment for the club. Him and torres should click. Keane is an unselfish player who can create space for torres. Although he hasn't scored yet, I have faith the partnership will work.
Losing Torres and Gerrard for a couple of weeks will not be good news.. With games against ManU on the way, a draw is more reasonable now. They really need to get that monkey off their back and start to win against the other big4s in the EPL. And they need to start killing off games as soon as possible! I mean, we lost or drew too many games last season with lower level table teams! We ca't afford to lose points. Especially when every other teams have strengthen their squad like crazy! (man city, aston villa, tottenham etc.)
