Liverpool - no more major transfers this window

[simon23]

Rafa has come out and said that there will be no major transfers for liverpool this summer....just one or two that he thinks can fit into the team but no big money signings.........he is happy with his squad they way it is....but he needs to keep hold of alonso and masscharano.

What does everyone think....good for us as there is one less competitor in the market but is rafa playing a very dangerous game here......we all know that if he gets one or two major injuries to either torres or gerrrard (esp) or both at the same time then they could be in trouble.......

also will these financial constraints he is obviously being put under by the oweners push him too far and cause him to walk.....hasnt he nearly doen that before??????

I think he said more along the lines of not spending crazy money.Liverpool have a gelled unit.A couple of even low-key additions in the right area could see them start as favourites as long as alonso and mascherano don't leave.

I think they've already got the players to be a good shout for the title this time. Unless they get very unlucky with injuries.

I'm not too sure they needed another two full-backs though to add to the eight he has previously signed.

Maybe this is type of player they are now looking at..

Hopefully they sell at least one of Alonso or Mascherano, and then Rafa wastes the money/can't spend all of it.

I guess it's back to stealing car stereos for their board then!

Liverpools first team is pretty good. I don't rate their squad players at all though. For them to have another shot at the title, their key players have to stay fit and Rafa has to stay away from his rotation policy.

The likes of Lucas, Babel, Riera, Dossena, Arbeloa etc, i don't think are good enough to be playing regularly in a title winning team. Glen Johnson also has to prove that he can step up, because he failed badly at Chelsea.
