Hey, fantastic! Maybe they'll sell us Crouchy back?
We could have seventh place sewn up for next season.

They *always* have money to spend
Cahill is deffo off somewhere for *big* money
Spurs have some very good CBs, but King's a crock, so maybe...
That said, every top 6 (or 7) club probably needs a new CB or two

A bit of business that they didn't want to do, certainly in the case of Keane
Or let me guess, you're now going to position fucking *Spurs* as the sort of club model we should be following, after your recent Lyon fixation

for all the money man city spent, and even with the depth of squad spurs now possess I still think we would have taken 4th at an absolute CANTER had alonso been in the sqaud.
we've had our worst season in a decade and despite that we are 8 points of 4th place. 3 wins.

Yeah, as a general rule that's obviously sound advice, but it isn't the only factor is it?
And in the past, Liverpool have done (or tried to do) exactly that. We have a history of selling players that could easily have played on (again, not considering all the factors, like wanting to leave):
Beardsley, Case, Aldo, Rush, Souness, McMahon, Keegan, Warnock, the list is extensive
Equally, we have also kept players for far too long.
It's the most difficult part of management to get it right, and divorcing emotion from realism
Ferguon and Wenger do it best, and even they get it wrong sometimes

Righty-ho. Presumably you'll say Masher's our best player this season, given that he's going to win Morse's poll in a canter.

no that would be pepe. pepe has been the best player by a country mile, masher doesn't even come close because he was all over the place at the start of the season.

Not really,they are very hit and miss - but you should always sell a player when you're offered more than he's worth. They made a massive fuck up by taking Keane back.

*Genuine question*
What transfer fee's would you sell Torres, Stevie and Mascher for?

Well the fee in the press for Torres is 70m, if we were offered that I'd take it.
Mascherano - 35m
Stevie - 30m

Best bit of business that club ever did.
