Transfer window rumours

Looks like we will be getting Maxi Rodriguez from Atletico Madrid and IMO the Argentine winger is exactly who we need: a creative wide player. We are also linked with Van der Vaart, Van Nistelrooy and Arda Turan. I think Rafa’s priority must be to unload some of the underperforming players in the squad. Babel will most likely be sold to Birmingham, Dossena is gone to Napoli and Voronin needs to be shown the door. The guy has done absolutely nothing since coming back from Hertha last season. Much has been said about Liverpool’s woes this season. I feel where we lack most is the midfield. With Gerrard playing deeper forward, we are left with Lucas and Mascherano to create plays. Lucas has been mediocre at best, he lacks confidence going forward and always looks for making short passes. Once Aquilani is 100% match fit, I don’t see Lucas starting anymore games. We also need a genuine striker as a back up for Torres and ex-Man-U Nistelrooy would be perfect. Overall, I don’t think Rafa should make a lot of purchases in January as most players are overpriced around this time. We should play out this season, aim for a top 4 finish and sign some big names in the off season.
