RAFA MUST BUY THE BEST

Stevie G and Carra is the bedrock of the team. It'd definitely a mystery if any of the duo didn't play in any particular game. So together with 5 other best foreign players in the team, of my choice as shown below :

Reina. Playing with Adebayor. Not a save hand indeed but a funny dribble and a lob away.

This man is running on a diesel engine, powerful and works very hard for the team. Getting right wing as his permanent position... hey, you're well appreciated, Kuyt! by us the fans.

Everytime he shine in a game, the joke goes like this : what did really happened while he was in West Ham? Masherano is a gem. Don't ever let him go.

Babel is young and not many young players attract my interest or confindence. But with his blistering run from the left and never hesitate to shoot a powerful drive, makes me a Babel believer.

haaa... this fella needs no caption at all actually. As this blog has showcase almost all his 33 goals last season, plus the additional 2 goals in the Euro. The players above are proven quality buy for Liverpool Football Club. And this is what the article below all about :

Sporting Life

Eighteen years, and the wait goes on. The title drought on Merseyside shows no sign of ending just yet.
We're already hearing the annual 'this is our year' proclamations from Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and co.
But surely even those two must be scratching their heads when they read who Rafa Benitez is reportedly out to buy this summer.
Gareth Barry and James Milner appear to be high on the shopping list, with Stewart Downing also mentioned.
But the eight-figure sums mentioned in some quarters must have knowledgeable Koppites coughing up cornflakes all over their red tops around the breakfast table. More 'ow' factor than 'wow'.
Liverpool did make strides last season in terms of closing the gap on Manchester United and Chelsea, but for one reason only. They bought big.
The acquisition of Fernando Torres used up a hefty portion of Benitez's kitty in the summer of 2007, but it was worth every penny.
El Nino lit up the Premier League with some phenomenal goalscoring displays, and made Liverpool a real threat to most teams. Without him though they looked pretty average.
Benitez already has a sizeable squad to work with, so I'd humbly submit that he should be looking for quality and not quantity this summer.
If Barry is really a massively better option than Xabi Alonso I'd be very surprised - he's top-six, not Champions League for me. Good not great, lacking the pace and ability for the very highest level.
And with Javier Mascherano already in the Anfield engine room, shouldn't they be looking for something just a little different?
Milner and Downing, meanwhile, are hardly likely to terrorise opposing defences and set pulses racing on Merseyside (are they really better than Ryan Babel?). Personally I'd prefer the chances of Yossi Benayoun (who looks surplus to requirements) winning a game with a moment of magic.
When Liverpool were in their pomp they bought the best, only going for players who could improve them. That's why the likes of Dalglish, Souness, Barnes and Beardsley ended up in a red shirt.
Our man Rafa, though, appears to spend most of his time snapping up players who MIGHT be the next big thing. A bit like getting a cheap telly without a big brand name in the hope that it's quite good. Except you generally end up ditching it and upgrading because the picture's not great.
As long as Torres can stay fit Liverpool might well be only one player short of being genuine title contenders. Just not the ones they're currently being linked with.
Liverpool's form late last season was top-class. And for a fair part of the season they matched the top three. Their one big failing - they couldn't beat Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. To do that you need quality throughout the team.
Barry, Milner and Downing might not even be definite starters next season if they do end up moving to Merseyside. Squad players aren't what Benitez needs - he can only play 11 after all.
The message is simple: buy the best or fail the test. Rafa, you have been warned.

utusanLFC :

I like this article. I hope Rafa read it too. In fact I am a bit puzzled when I read how Rafa vigoriously persuing Gareth Barry and now Robbie Keane. I agree if Barry were to replace Xabi Alonso, I don't think the comparison will float. Alonso is an established Spain international squad, albeit he was mostly a sub in the last Euro (due to his long term injury) as to Barry who need Liverpool to get establish. I assume there must be something that badly hurt the relationship between Rafa and Alonso that forced this issue. Is Alonso too sloppy now? Too old? Damned it is not. But why he is going to be offloaded? Lets say... if Alonso to be shipped out and the replacement would be the like of Xabi Hernandez... wow, nobody would question Rafa. But Barry? eerrrr... and as for Keane, well... I got not much complaining about him. I remember his glory days in Leeds with once-glorious winger by the name of Harry Kewell... But he didn't managed to help Hotspur to a better position last season. Not even with one of the most interesting player along side him... Berbatov. Well again... I like the article.
