Well from what I gather Benitez has 18 mil to spend as a minimum this summer. We've got Wilson, and Shelvey coming into the squad for next year, and a massive plus is Milan Jovanovich who I reckon could easily be a 20 goal a season striker for us easily!. For anyone who doesn't know much about him, he's relatively tall, built, really quick i.e much faster than Kuyt Riera etc, but not a Gerrard or Torres but maybe just off them, whose double footed but mainly plays left wing and upfront. He can finish really well as in Anelka esk (not Torres caliber), and he's very very very direct he'll run straight at a defender and go past him or run into him or get blocked off and fouled, but is much better than Babel at doing it.
Also imo if Benitez is signing all these youth players etc I see it highly improbable he'll leave this summer unless something dramatic happens like players are sold but no money is given back etc.
It looks like we're trying to trade riera to a club in return for another player. Also it's looking likely Aurelio will leave and we'll sign eithier a good lb for the majority of our money or a new reserve lb.
Finaly gk Cavalieri will most probaly be sold and replaced by a new youthful english goalkeeper to make up a extra player for the home grown rules for next year.
So next year Shelvey, Gerrard, Carragher, Ayala, El Zhar, Pacheco, reserve gk, Johnson, Insua, Spearing ,Darby, Kelly I reckon will make up our homegrown players. Home grown is classed as spending 3 years or more in England or Wales while u21.
Oh yeah I'm also preety sure the club will be sold this summer as the value will surely decrease as the sale goes on as they have untill Christmas to sell as the rumour is the loan deadline was a 6 month extension.
P.s sent a message to Hicks and actualy befriended him over previous other emails. In those previous emails he told me the stadium !when! construction starts will take just over 3 years to build. That Rafa wanted to revamp the squad a sell 4-5 players this summer and bring in 6 new faces, and that Gerrard Macherano, Torres and Reina were all not to be sold this summer. In the email I sent yesturday I told him to buy Petrov and Joe Cole on free transfer as it would improve the sqaud, and improve the value of the club for sale

And that all I can gather from various sites etc, being Hicks, Balague, koptalk and walkon.com , and linking together all the news stories.
