Who've you got in mind for the 'marquee' signing?

Yep, agree with that Nawaz, top teams are built on the rock of a solid defense and now that we have added a good winger, I too would hope we sign a good natural LB together with a CB. Then we are in a position to challenge for top honors!!

That's wishful thinking in the extreme

I don't think City are a good team but they have quality throughout their squad

It's unrealistic to expect us to compete with them - or United for that matter

Although I think Adam and Downing are good signings, along with Henderson (who I don't think is a good signing) they asre noit the type of players that are going to take us from 6th to 1st if that's what your suggesting

4th - and overtaking arsenal and tottenham - is about the best we can hope for - amnd if we manage that i'll think kenny has done a good job

no im not suggesting 1st as i think chelsea are gonna win the league i think we will finish 3rd/2nd. even if arsenal keep nasri and cesc i think we will be better than them, city aren't a team they have quality players throughout there team but they only have an okay manager and they play as bunch of individuals not a team. man utd are weaker without scholes and VDS. with kenny in charge and without any distractions i believe we can finish just behind chelsea.

We did not spend 100m+ to come second place. You think winning is achieving 4th but believe me, Dalglish is thinking 1st is the only option.

I think we may get a CB this summer, then make another addition or 2 in January. Too many changes at once might not be a good idea. I think Kenneth sees Johnson/Flanaghan/Aurelio/Kelly/Insua as more than enough decent full backs for the time being. That said, Kelly is really a CB so maybe our spending is done for the summer? We've certainly got lots of defensive options.

We certainly have the depth in our defense, but we dont have that top quality defender in our first team.

I agree, and I thought that after I hit send. All of our defenders are good, but none are really, REALLY good (Carragher 'was'...). Maybe a "£20m" centre back is required to finish off the summer spree....

(British) Suggestions?

I've always thought that Dawson was very good and there's talk of him wanting to move on...
Richards?

Umm. I wish we would have got phil jones.
What a summer it would have been.
I prefer hummels or subotic. They both are class.
