It is if we have the money to spend big and improve the squad that's good for me  But thats just it you can only spend them summs of money in players not to mention the wages that go with them if you have Champions League footie to ofset it against otherwise you would have Clubs like Fulham and Wigan shelling out 15 and 20 million pounds on players, they dont because they know it cant justify them amounts without Champions League money, not hard to understand this. Is the club not longer aiming for CL? If so we have to target those type of players if not we will never get there it may not work out but I am happier that we are still aiming for that. And Wigan and fulham do not have nearly the same fan base and earning power as LFC so they are limited in that regard as to how much they can spend

And Wigan and fulham do not have nearly the same fan base and earning power as LFC so they are limited in that regard as to how much they can spend Unfortunately having a big fan base counts for nothing in todays game not when you compare it to what a Champions League Club will make over the same season. What you need to remember is there are four Clubs who can get Champions League football, apart from the very odd season like this one, three of those places are already taken each season by United, City and Chelsea those Clubs will blow us out of the water financial wise which realisticaly means we would fight for one place every season along with Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle and Everton as it stands now. I think it's madness to overspend in gambling for just that one place every season as the good of the Club has to come first, I just dont think the odds are not good enough to be shelling out on 16 million pound players just to maybe get the odd season in the Champions League because lets face it thats all it will ever be because Arsenal, Spurs and maybe Newcastle will all get the place probably over the next 7 or 8 years, so the money wont be guaranteed like it is for the big three.

So rushy
Are you advocating that we settle for mid table anonymity.
I think our American owners will show their hand this summer.
That may include a new manager and another reasonable budget.
I think we are better to try and get back into the Top 4 as soon as possible even if it means taking a gamble.

Instead of a winger we should go for Nuri Sahin, he's on the bench all the time at Madrid.

I think that Granero would be a better option. He is a bit of a battler in the midfield, and never gives up. He would be a decent player to go for. We need to clear up the rest of the mids first, the likes of Adam. Hendo and Spearing just aren't good enough.

We need someone with Quality who can start along with Lucas/Gerrard from day 1 in PL.
Hendo & Shelvy should start all the Europa League matches as CM.

Granero would be nice box to box mid type, who has quality and will get better. He's proved at other clubs that with time he improves, and I can't see him being expensive. Gotta be less than ten mil. He can attack or be defensive. I reckon him Sissoko, or if we're really pushing for it, Javi Martinez.
It makes sense to sort our midfield out. Sure we've got lots of mids, but non except for Lucas and Gerrard are good enough for the team. Hendo could be let of because of his age I guess, but the rest aren't doing us any favours, we need to strengthen this area badly.

I like the look of Younes Belhande. fast, strong, tricky and mostly plays on the left drifting to the centre.
He could be a very interesting signing..... if you thought Ben arfa was good, this guy is better...

If we can get Younes Belhande and Luuk De Jong, I would be quite happy really. For now.
