Why do we need another keeper? Just because Benitez normally buys at least one a year doesn't mean he SHOULD! Worrying about how good our third choice fucking keeper might be is taking caution way too far.
If we need to buy a striker (and in my opinion it certainly wouldn't hurt) then rule number one is that he should at least be better than Voronin. So Kevin Davies doesn't qualify. Sorry.

I am sure there are some who are unhappy with our back up goalie. Just in case, put in your name for a goalie you would like. Remember it has to be cheap and decent. Nobody is saying we are going to buy for sure....
Voronin, Ngog, Babel, Nemeth have been written off by some here, so who do you think is better and just as cheap?

Regarding keepers, I am perfectly happy with our back up keeper as I doubt he will even play very much and when he has he has seemed competent enough. We also have God knows how many young keepers who can probably do a job in an emergency. So I am really not best placed to comment.
Regarding strikers, that is my point. I can't think of a cheapo striker who would make much of a difference to our squad. Owen would have been worth getting but obviously that's now out of the question. If we are going to buy a striker that will improve our squad then he will need to be a decent onem, which means he will cost money.
