Perhaps so, but it was very short sighted. Every man and his dog knew we were going to struggle when Torres was out, and could see the squad had suddenly become very thin, so if we knew it surely the corridors of power at Anfield knew it,and the repercussions.
They also knew, as we did, that City could be a serious contender for a top six finish and be in a position to compete with us.
These buys are short term panic buys, but the situation was as bad in the summer.
Yes, we have had injuries, in truth it's probably no worse that most of the other top clubs, we just don't have the strength in depth to ride it out like we used to.
At least these signings (if they materialise) will give us a far better bench, but hopefully not at the expense of Pacheco
