Rafa spent plenty these last three seasons - he bought Johnson and Aquilani last year for £37m. but left us desperately short up front.
Just because he spent plenty doesn't mean we had plenty to spend. How much of that came from the Alonso sale?
It's nearly three years now since we sold Keane and nobody has come in to replace him. Depressing.
How many times does it need to be repeated? No dedicated striker worth his salt will sign for Liverpool as long as Torres is here. Everyone seems to think we'll find another Torres, but he'll only cost 10 million and would LOVE to sit on the bench of a team that has no CL football this season. Wake up and smell the coffee!
That means we will have to deal with either aging or injury-prone players or up and coming youngsters. That means N'Gog, who I might remind you has scored 4 times this season. And with all our midfield traffic, maybe, just maybe we might finally stop playing those two Dutch blokes out of position and give them a proper run up front. You never know. They might surprise us all.
