we definately need:-

in defence - a left back as johnson, flannagan are not natural left backs, robinson is still too young and aurellio is injury prone; and a centreback as agger is also injury prone and carra is getting old;

in midfield - 2 wingers in both flanks as we have no natural wingers to stretch the opposition defence and deliver quality crosses to our strikers;

in attack - a striker to complement our existing strikeforce of carroll, suarez & kuyt (imho should not be ask to play on right flank again)

no matter what happens now, we will finish at least in sixth position which is a improvement from last season, really looking forward 2 next season if we can get the five quality additions stated above..................YNWA

Glad we signed suarez... His running was very good... Create good positions for a through ball...

Just some of the news picked up from the Merseyside Players Twitter Forum

We may lose one of our talented youngsters..... Pacheco has declared he wants to sign for Norwich if KD cannot guarantee him 1st team games.

Yes I think Kenny has got some tough decisions to make over the summer. We have a joke of a mini-squad in our attacking players, who are not good enough. The older players with reputations, Cole, Milan. Young players who have played well at junior levels but are having to make the step up. Pacheco, Ngog, El Zhar.

For the sake of team spirit, Kenny should cut most of them loose unless they are willing to go out on loan again for some experience. We should trim our squad and bring in quality young players who are good enough.

As for the rest of your suggestions, it would seem we are buying reserve players right (i.e. to cover carroll and kuyt)? note i am NOT disagreeing. the 2 wingers u're proposing is not first XI standard right? Actually if can have a good right back from our own squad, can move johnson up to right winger. He doesn't defend so well anyway.

some teams have certain skills in looking for talent in certain positions. Liverpool seems to be able to find premier league goalkeepers. Friedel, Carson, Reina, James etc. The other position we have good scouting is central defender. Most of us never hear of hyypia, agger or srktel before they join us. I think we can find good central defenders. We seem to have little luck looking for left back, left wing and strikers though.

I don't think we should be buying reserve players. We should be buying players that can challenge the first 11 places. Why should Carroll be guaranteed a starting place? we need strength in depth so that when he can't play or play badly, we can put someone better in. Don't get back to the days when we only have torres. If he doesn't play, triple H comes in. Sian.

I think johnson can't defend and can't really cross too. He's good at dribbling, he's got speed, he's got bulk and he's English. Kuyt is much better at right wing. i like how Kuyt looks up to spot other players running into positions whenever he has the ball. Smart player.

I hope to see Insua back too. He's still developing and he can cross well.

Congrats to King Kenny.

Just a thought, let's say, we have a chance to buy torres back at say, half the price we sold him for, should we? The fact is he did play very well for us and had an amazing goal scoring record for us. And even this season when he has been bad, he still scored more goals for us than for chelsea. I imagine he would do very well with the "new" liverpool....

there's no room for him now that we have Suarez and Carroll. Dont think the board will want to spend so much on a 3rd striker, even if he costs only
$25m. I think Ngog will go when the season ends. Comolli and KD will probably want to look at a budget 3rd striker, cheap and good, something in the mould of devils' Hernandez or maybe even bolton's sturridge.

odemwinge (i'm sure my spelling is wrong) is worth considering....
