For me £40m is jus not enough to be honest. Reasons why is theres nothing like havin a local lad in your team. And quite frankly we hav no more gerrards, owens, fowlers, mcaas or carraghers cummin throu the ranks(correct me if im wrong!).
And with £40m who are we gonna find that could turn a game on it head the way gerrad has dun over the last couple of seasons.
Only special players have the ability to do this only players like gerrard and rooney.
And before you start naming the likes of Kaka and the rest, there not local (i no rooneys not a local lad for us!) n there not gonna wanna sign for liverpool.
And i know u anti-gerrard posters r goin to say that you dont need him, the stats say this, the stats say that and he was lazy all season but ur not going to find a player in the world that could hav scored the goal he scored against olipakios.
And you can make stats say anything but you telllin me we would have one withot gerrard in the final.
The other thing that reely bothers me is that we're not going to see best central midfiled parterneship in the world of Alonso n Gerrard flourish.
I also need to stress that the only English lad we got in our first team is Carragher, i no we got carson and Finnan whose irsh. i feel we our losing the character of the team. The ones who won all those ccups were mainly brithesh based players. Dont get me wrong i understand why rafa went to spain. but now with lost our 'tallisman' as it were i believe we need to try get at least one britesh face in and not one to warm the bench one that will b out there everygame.
I feel the best we can do is get someone like Baraja on our books as they can do there job in midfield but we do desperatly need someone who can turn the game, Wright Phillps would b ideal but i jus cant see it happening. And some may well say 'sell him well get 3 alonsos' but that simply isnt the case, players like alonso dont cum along often espically at the price we got him at. Saying that Gerrards dont cum along often.
Gerrard is the best midfielder in world football today and i am very sad to c him go.
Agents are the cancer of football.
