Good posts on this one, specially yours JBG.
It's interesting to note that many of the players under threat seemed to put in great performance the other night at Chelsea - Cheryou, Heskey, Traore, Biscan etc. I would like to see the whole squad play with that commitment until the end of the season and give the fans something to get excited about - it's long overdue and we know they are capable of beating all of the teams in the premership when they apply themselves.
With regard to replacements, I haven't seen enough of Cisse to make a judgement, but he 'seems' OK if the price is not ridiculous. I like Dawson for cover at the back but he has been injured a lot this season. The boy is young and looks an excellent prospect. We need strength in midfield to help out Stevie, and it may be worth loking at Jason Koumas, good midfielder who can score goals(and won't cost the earth).
Malbranque is a good player but his team seem intent on keeping everyone at the moment. Parker would be a great Liverpool player but Chelsea would be favourites to sign him.
It will be interesting to see how the players move on from the result at Chelsea and how many fight to stay with the club.
