I really dislike the way Mascherano is dealing with the situation right now, I have a lot of respect for the guy, but he just seems to be throwing the club under the bus.

I have a lot of confidence that Torres and Gerrard stay, but I think for the club to show they're serious they've got to buy someone, and someone big. I like the addition of Jovanovic, but you're not going to get very far on these free transfers.

If Hicks or Gillette could find their asses with both hands they'd know that the players are in many ways a huge part of the value of the club, so you do what you have to to keep the stars here and sell shirts with their names on them, plus it helps the club maintain value making it easier to sell.

Got to spend money to make money, and right now, you're being outspent. I still have faith that Liverpool can crack the top 4 again this season, and for all their cash Tottenham and City dont have players of the caliber of Stevie or Torres, but these guys need some help.

If nothing else, they can focus on the league now instead of worrying about the strenuous Champions League. At the moment, I dont feel they have the depth to compete in all of those various high level competitions. Something I think Spurs are going to find out.
