Liverpool Summer 2009 Transfer Window Preview

Wednesday, 07. 15. 2009  –  Category: Liverpool, Premier League

Who they need

It’s on the cards that both Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa are likely to be signing for Real Madrid before the window closes, and in spite of the fairly expensive acquisition of Glen Johnson, to maintain consistency, Liverpool are going to need another right back and a defensive midfielder who can dictate the tempo of a game.  If they want to improve on their performance last season, they’re going to need a left sided forward who can open up games against packed defences, the most likely target is Valencia’s David Silva, who Rafa’s had his eye on for a while.   Finally they’re going to need a reasonable plan b for Fernando Torres.  David Ngog shows hints of promise but is a long way from the finished article.

Who they don’t need

Andriy Voronin has managed to become amongst the most hated men on Merseyside as a result of his consistently listless displays for the reds and his oddly attired wife.   In spite of this old Sexychest managed to bang in a fair few goals last year for Hertha Berlin, so there’s surely someone, somewhere who’ll take him.  Charles Itandje, on the other hand would be best advised to leave the club after his little performance at the Hillsborough anniversary before he gets knifed, particularly in light of him spending the majority of his time frequenting the seedier bars in the north west.  Andrea Dossena is likely to moved back to Italy after a disappointing first season.  Ryan Babel is likely to move if a suitable buyer can be found.
