Is that all for Liverpool? Or is there more?

With the unveiling of Babel and Benayoun today, Liverpool is showing a sign of intent. A quick comparison of the squad of the top 4 teams in the EPL, we will notice Liverpool has a really big squad.

But IMO, I still feel our left side is the weak link. Riise, although a good servant of the club, is a very limited player. Other than his powerful shot, his one-footedness is unbelievable. Each and every time when a defender blocked his path when he goes forward, he will cut back. A normal player will try to look for teammates to pass to INFIELD. But that will require him to use his right foot, which is a big 'NO!' to him, you will find that he will prefer to pass the ball backwards to Agger or Mascherano who positions themselves behind him.

No big deal? What he has done is broken up the momentum in attack with Gerrard, Kuyt Crouch etc all waiting infield infront of him. I really hope Rafa bring in another LB and if Christmas came early, can we have Queresma please?

What's Next?

Now that the Torres deal is done... and Rafa saying he is looking at WINGERS now.. on can only think.

I will really like to see Mancini playing for us. And unlike in previous threats, I changed my opinion on Malouda, doesn't think a player with the 'money first attitude' will be good enough for Liverpool. He better goes to Chelski, It will be good for him and for us. End of.

Back to Mancini, It was rumored that Inter has a first option on him (a clause in previous dealing) for £12M. I really hope it is not true. Mancini is a winger I rated higher than Simao and Queresma and of course Malouda. He is both-footed and is at his peak now.

And after Mancini, I think we will see Benayoun coming in as a squad player. Remember, 2 player in every position. And 25 names to be registered for the Champions League.

Imagine this:
-----------------Reina------------------
Finnan---Carragher--- Agger---Riise
-------------Mascherano---------------
Mancini------Gerrard--------Kewell
---------Kuyt---- Torres-------------

And 2nd team:
-----------------Carson------------------
Arbeloa---Hyypia---Palletta---Aurelio
----------------Sissoko---------------
Pennant------Alonso--------Benayoun
---------Voronin----Crouch-------------


Not too bad.. not bad at all.. YNWA.

EL NINO!! TORRES SIGNED

Fernando Torres has today completed his move from Atletico Madrid to Liverpool after putting pen to paper on a six-year deal.

In his first interview in English football, the Spaniard confessed his sadness at leaving the club he supported as a boy – but claimed a move to Anfield was too good to refuse.

He admitted the prospect of working with Rafa Benitez and playing in front of the Kop were key in his decision to move to Merseyside.

"This was the biggest decision of my footballing life but this is a club of champions - one of the biggest there is. I now want to play my part in that and be a champion too," said Torres.

"Just to know Rafa has confidence in me is massive for me. I feel honoured because Liverpool could have signed anyone.

"I have seen all the DVDs but you can't possibly know what it feels like to play at Anfield until you have experienced it. I am dying to play in front of the Kop."
