    Either you've forgotten Coates, or don't rate him...

    Gerrard is only 31, should be ok for another 3-5 years. Quite like Adam too. I like all Liverpool players though. Apart from Kuyt when he is of form. But yea, we need to more investment, and there is money there, thats what everyone forgets. We are only one year into a new project. Need a little more time, will do more business in the summer, you can be sure of that....

    At the end of the day, we have just beaten City and United without two of our best players. Suarez is going to be fresh when he comes back. Just need to start beating sides like Bolton home and away and we will be challenging. We have had a lot of bad luck too, hitting the post etc, that won't last forever. We are 2-3 players short of a title push.....

    A fair point. He doesn't appear to be the answer - but he might end up being. Its all good building for the future but the present is also important.

    Good reminder about Young - I'd forgotten him! Sign of old age...

    That would give us:

    GK - ?
    RB
    LB
    CB Vidic
    CB Smalling
    RM Valencia
    CM Cleverley
    CM Jones/Fletcher
    LM Young
    FW Rooney
    FW Welbeck

    On the bench I'd be happy to tolerate Nani out of the current squad... too inconsistent by half for my liking :( But the GK and defense is an issue. And an awful lot rides on Cleverly/Jones/Fletcher gelling - plus if you get two of them injured, we're in real trouble.

    All depends how long Fergie stays. I thought he'd go last season tbh - nothing else to prove, Champions plus finalists in the CL. Suspect if the situation changes at Real Madrid then things might move VERY fast.

    You'd do fantastically well to win the League - but you never know.

    95% of us know we are not there.

    I would say we were 5 players off a title bid.

    ------------------------Reina------------------------

    Johnson/---Skrt-----------------Agger-------Jose
    Kelly

    ?------------Lucas--------------?----------------?

    --------------?--------------Suarez--------------

    I've not counted Gerrard as he is getting on and we will need to replace him - obviously he still has a key role for a few more years. Bellamy cannot play every game so i've left him out. He can be our super sub/play every other game.

    So yeah we need a LM, RM, AM, striker and another CB. Henderson, Maxi, Speaing kept fo useful squad players.

    Bench/Back Up

    Spearing
    Bellers
    Maxi
    Henderson
    Coates?
    Gerrard lol

    Looks pretty strong! Just need a first team now.

    An Arsenal supporter giving us down the banks.

    <laugh>

    They are 1 point ahead of us in the league and they're going backwards faster than a French tank in WW2.

    Arse4life you our new resident WUM are you? <ok> I'm going to have to keep raping you then (verbally speaking I mean obviously).

    As I said to you before Goons in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones...especially when you're throwing them like a bird <ok>
