Nah, Gerrard needs to earn his place and Tevez would give him tough competition. I can even see Gerrard being dropped to bench as a back-up for Tevez.  :p  :D

But seriously, Tevez would be a far better choice than Kuyt on the right side in any of the 4-2-3-1/4-3-3/4-5-1 formations.

why would tevez be a better choice ? what has tevez proved playing out right ? Kuyt has produced the goods for us . we need someone with a bit of pace and creatitivy - we need an arshavin and thats where silva comes in .

the advantage of tevez is that he can play in several positions that  will fit in well to our current setup (he could also play up top with torres imo)

i don't see much evidence that he'd be way better out wide than the Diggler - tevez certainly isn't what you'd  call "clinical" (hence the acquisition of berbatov by ORN this season)

not sure rafa will get tevez but i think he would do a very good job for us, not sure if the barry boat has set sail but if rafa went for him again this summer that would be 2 players which can play in 3 different positions each which rafa will love

I'm almost covinced that Agger and Babel will leave. How much we'll get for them is anyone's guess though.

have to say i hope agger doen't go but things are not looking good on that front, if he did go we would need to get cover for him but who? i think we would get about 7m for him at the moment though which is a good price

Tevez will go to City

Really? I would have thought someone like him would want to be playing top class football including European competition. Anyway I guess money can make anyone do anything.

Incidentally what was the outcome of the supposed meeting between our clubs reps and Tevez' agent on Saturday?

Nothing, the Guy on RAWK has not posted since then or sent me a PM. but Radio 5 live (yer yer) did say his agent was meeting Man City on Monday.

And thats the end of the Tevez to Liverpool story. lol  I guess his wage demands were too exorbarant. If Utd couldn't afford them then what chance do we have. MAn City are going to be buying every decent player left right and centre. Rafa needs to be able to buy proven quality players this summer, no 2nd rate maybe players.
I think we should get 7Mil for Babel, around 5Mil for Dossena and maybe 7mil for Agger but id prefer if Agger doesn't leave as we would not be able to bring in anyone the same quality without spending a lot more.

I have a feeling that Rafa  might attack Spanish clubs, in search of a quality center back. Albiol anyone?

I'd be very concerned if we lost/sold Agger without an "as good as" replacement.

While many our rightly talking about signing another striker, we need to keep an eye on our centre back positions. Agger goes and we are left primarily with Carra ,Skrtle and an aging Hyppia.

Surely Rafa wouldn't willingly leave us with just those three to cover the CB positions ?.

If I'm Rafa, I would sell Babel and Lucas. Then go out and get some quality players like Silva or Tevez. Both are different players but Tevez has the advantage of able to play as the lone striker. Our midfield is sorted without buying Barry - we can promote Spearing into the senior squad, dun think he's worse off than Lucas. And we need a proven centre back unless the likes of Skrtel, Agger and Carra improve on their form. A proven right back is needed as well in case Arbeloa is injured. Not sure how good is Stephen Darby yet.

So in order of priority, we need an attacking utility player (Tevez or Silva or BOTH?!), RB (not too sure about Johnson) and CB (if Agger leaves). We're pretty much sorted in other areas.
