I think every fan understands that we need wingers and a leftback as a number one priority and many people including ex legends has stressed that in the media about liverpool so surely Kenny and co know that and are working at full capicity to bring those needed players in. I will happily wait because I know we are in good hands with Kenny because he knows whats he's doing, and ofcourse everything needs time. We also need another forward, unless Kuyt is going to be number 3, which would make the right wing even more urgent, and even then I think most wouldn't be that happy with Kuyt up front for a large part of the season. Plus we need another central defender. So most fans know we need about 5 players in positions other than central mid first, and yet our only signing has been central midfield, and then we hear talk about us signing Gago, centre mid, and Adam, centre mid. It's enough to make me wanna get burger. This criminal under rating of Dirk Kuyt has got to stop. I don't know how many years this man has to play his ass off for some of our fans to realise what a gem we have. 'Dirk Kuyt is worth his weight in gold' - Van Basten He had a transition year up front coming from a lesser league he was then shipped out right where he was kept his position even when challenged by genuine wingers. For the last two years his stats are in and around 10 goals and 15 assists, and i dont care where you play those stats are impressive. Especially as he puts in so much work and doesnt even get credit for the end product. Has continually popped up with important goals since he's came and since Suarez has came he's proven himself as out best second striker, forming a partnership quickly and i think theres every argument for benching Carrol until he proves that he can form a better partnership than the one we have. Seriously guys every other club doesn't appreciate the big man, saying 'hes just a work horse.' This is a facet of his game not his whole game. Dirk is a Liverpool legend in the making and deserves respect as such. Top post, continually one of our best players every season & if he isn't going to be getting the game time that he's shown he deserves then I wouldn't be upset at all if he left. He's shown he's a top player time and time again, should be starting Kuyt and Suarez with our 35m man fighting for his spot.

I definately agree with you on that. Just because we bought Caroll at 35m doesnt mean we have to play him every single game. Suarez and Kuyt gets my vote for now.

kuyt should be a utility player next season. nothing against him he's brilliant servant but every dog has it's day and kuyt's had his. time to have real wingers out wide and carroll will be starting 9 times out of 10 so kuyt being ahead of carroll is just a fairytale.

Its true we should rip up our best working partnership because we spent alot of money. Worked so well for Chelsea last year didn't it?

Why should Carroll be starting ahead of Kuyt when Kuyt is playing better and has a working partnership with Suarez?

Yes i completely agree Rafarendem, i was saying Kuyt was currently the best 2nd striker we have with Suarez leading the line. This was the case last season and i think we should learn from Chelsea's mistake and this should be the case until Carrol dislodges him.
There is 38 games in a season and obviously the front pair/the front 3 will be changed week in week out. My point is that a big money transfer no longer guarentees a start at Liverpool we have a squad which we're hoping will be fiercly competitive next season and i think Dirk Kuyt has proven that he holds that spot beside Suarez (for now).

cant understand people, dont people see past the 1st 11. Where seriously lacking in quality in depth.
This summer its all to see that the likes of cole, jovanovic, poulsen, aquilani, and now possibly maxi are going to leave. Thats 5 midfielders out of the club, are people that blind to notice that you need to replace them, and even more so to replace them with better players because thats the reason there going cus they aint good enough
plus with ngog, konchesky, greek, and maybe agger, replacements need to be found for them aswell.
its not a 14man squad game anymore.

I just don't understand with the management, again we linked with midfielders, statistics says all, we need winger n left back, last good winger we had was Breadsley, if we can't have ash young n coentrao, find someone else, all the good teams in epl have decent wingers, coz that's the style of epl, scum got awful midfielder, but they got decent winger in nani n giggs, arse got nasri, spurs got lennon n baile, city got milner n silva, n what do we got...kuyt?? We had players who forced to be winger: cheyrou,smicer,kewell,leonhardsen,pongolle,aquilani,babel.. enough!! milner a winger, you off your barnet lad

Of course it matters if you've got quality in depth. The 1st choice 11 isn't far off from being a top four club. New left back, left winger,
The original post was about us being linked to midfielders. Our short comings in the last two seasons was because we lacked quality players to replace those who where either injured or lacking in form.
Look at it this way with our midfield and forward positions
----------------Lucas-----gerrard
Kuyt----------------------- -------possibly mata or downing
------------------Suarez
--------------------------Carroll
That's a top four midfield and strike force. And that is with one signing going into the midfield. Like I said it's what happens if gerrard gets injured, who you going to replace him with, fair dos possibly Merieles, who is pushing Lucas for a 1st team spot, Jay spearing? Yes he done a good job but is he the answer if where pushing for 4th to replace Lucas if he has a dip in form or gets injured. What about kuyt? He's been a ever present in the side since he's been here. He needs competition.
All in all you can't rely on the same 11 all season, you need quality back up replacements who can go straight into the team without worrying what type of performance your going to get from them.
Our midfield could look like this if the rumored transfers happen
Merieles. Lucas. Gerrard. Mata
Henderson-spearing. Adam------ downin
---------------Suarez.--Carroll
--------------kuyt -----wickham
Alot better than this
Merieles-------Lucas----gerrard------maxi
Cole---------spearing----poulsen----jovanovic
---------------Suarez-----Carroll
---------------ngog--------kuyt
