Give me a break. Do you even understand the meaning of the word "cover"?
Richards and Bent agreeing to spend 80% of the season and 100% of the big games on the bench/ not even in the squad. Yeah. Right.
And that's before we get onto the subject of attitude problems, and latent shitness.

I'd swap 3 and 4 around Oncy. It's about time we have at least one decent (pacy) alternative to Torres up front.

Yes because Torres played every game last year, and Richards lost his starting spot last year and they've just bought Toure, who will further push them down the pecking order. Both Bent & Richards would surely be unwilling to come here, my bad.

Sack Rafa!
Simply because of injury concerns id go for Di Rossi and Silva.
Di Rossi can do a dm or cm job and Silva can play lm, rm, am. So we'd be really getting a good deal of cover.
I just dont think theres enough money to cover all our needs, and id rather world class up the first 11 than flesh out the squad.
Yeah im going to be relying on the kids eventually (certainly in the domestic cup games) but im confident that
Reina > Cavalieri
Johnson > Degen
Agger > Skrtel
Carragher
Aurelio > Insua
Mascherano
Di Rossi
Gerrard > Yossi
Silva > Riera
Kuyt
Torres > Babel
can do the job over 38 games.

I don't think there's any way we're going to buy five senior players before the end of the summer, nor should we try. IMO we need a high-quality replacement for Xabi and/or a high-quality front-four forward. If we have any change left over from those deals, we can then think about defensive cover. The last thing we need is to disperse our funds on five average players, as we've done in the past. Our squad's going to be a bit thin again, but given our resources that's just a risk we'll to have to take.

Carragher
Aurelio > Insua
Mascherano
Di Rossi

Silva > Riera
Kuyt
Torres > Babel
can do the job over 38 games.
[/quote]
The cover is not terrible there, but not outstanding either. Only Yossi (and maybe babel, albeit very occasionally) can change a game. It is good that a few players are versatile (Kuyt up top or out wide, Yossi in the hole or out wide and Gerrard can drop into midfield leaving Kuyt or Yossi to play with Torres).
I really don't know enough about Silva (but I have been impressed the few times I've seen him play) and even less about De Rossi to know how they would impact our first team, but if they are as good as some on here seem to rate them, then we have a decent squad to have a crack at this..
I wouldn't mind a defender who could play across the back four positions, but they are difficult to come by.
