Veronin gone – good. Did we get £2m for him? If so, incredible business. I recklon 2/3 more players need to be shipped out as well. When you are Stevie or Torres and you see the line up against Stoke, they must be thinking nothing but bad things about the team. Degen must be the worst player to wear a red shirt for decades, and we’ve had some tosh the same as everyone else, but Degen, come on. He was so out of his league against Stoke, I mean Stoke! Come on people I’ll say it again with a higher voice – DEGEN!! Sweet baby Jebus deliver us from evil, DEGEN. Players to go, Degen, Lucas and Babel, but only if we see the money first

Agree with you here Daniel, why sell Babel when we havent got a replacement, this would undemine an already depleted squad during a time of troubles. And its true, he may well be better than Kuyt, its just that he hardly ever, if ever, proves that, to me, you, the rest of the fans and most importaantly of all, the gaffer. He may well go if we can get a pre contract agreement for Chamkah, and yes your right again here, RAfa wont see the cash, Chamkah would only cost 1-2mil as he is about to leave on a free anyway. Memories of Gareth Barry leave me with a taste of scepticism with this ine though, I wont believe it until I see him in the shirt

Agree totally, Kuyt is a workhorse, superfit and runs himself into the ground everytime he dons the red shirt. That is the main, and possibly the only reason he is in the team. Sadly, and i dont want to burst anyones bubble here, Maxi is not quick by Premier League standards, granted he is gifted, but this is our problem, we have oodles of gifted players, ( Gerrard, Torres, Reina, Carragher, Johnson, Masch, Babel, N’Gog, Aurelio ), our problem is we CAN NOT get them to play well, and when we do, its not at the same time,

What has N’gog done to be referred to as our ‘best young player’?? and if he is our best young player, why do we need another striker? No way is he good enough. We have far too many average players. And I said that before the tv pundits!

The Babel situation is tricky, the lad definatley has potential and is still young.
The problem is he is not hard working enough for Rafa and thats why Kuyt and Benayoun have been playing regularly. If he played for Arsenal i think we would be seeing the real Babel. He has been left frustrated by Benitez and it is Benitez’s duty to either sell him or make sure Babel mind and heart is in the right place.

I think Caragher has been a legend for us but his days may be over. We need a new centre back ,Captain material someone Roy Keanesqu.

My concern is the fact that we can’t seem to do the simple things like control the ball, move into space and pass again like all previous Liverpool teams.

Rafa should go, he is LFC’s problem. Apart from Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher n d other few, d names making up both d starting eleven as well as d bench are players bought by Rafa yet not 1 trophy in 5-years to show for it. I don’t blame the Directors, why on earth will I give u more funds when u have nothing 2 show 4 d 1s given 2 u. Why will I spend 5years buying high quality-costly players without a trophy 2 show for it, I can as well go to LFC youth team, pick out my players & start training them. In 5yrs time I will have a great team. Rafa must go he has lost it, but that concept he came to Anfield with and the drive to move the team forward. Thank God we have d likes of Carra, Gerard, Reina, Torres and Masch lets get another coach

Our problems, do they come from lack of motivation from the coaching crew or is it a scouting problem? Is it from lack of a tactician or is it the lack of quality players . I say our problems are not lack of quality players and definitely not lack of a quality bench cos we have the caliber of players that can not only win the Champions league but the Premiership, Carling and FA Cup together. Coming to the bench we have a wonderful bench, a bench that can beat any bench the world over. Our problem is from the coaching crew, Rafa should go, he has nothing to offer Anfield again. Why is it that players deplete in our hands. Why do we buy higher only to sell lower(Robbie Keane, Peter Crouch). Why on earth are buying only to sell in six months.

WTF Kuyt lazy!! have a word…Kuyt is not lazy – just has the touch of a rapist!

I agree with an earlier post. Babel has shown signs of excellence and raw talent. Remember the premiership is a tough league.

lets face it – we are not going to get any funds from the Yanks – so lets keep him and keep plugging away. He is young, energetic and really wants to perform at the World Cup – now is the time to say to the lad – go out and impress.

Voronin gone, 1 down many more to follow.
I can’t see how people can call Kuyt, Lazy coz when he does play he works hard for his place, not like other donkeys.
Is Rafa gonna start Maxi and Aquillani or are they gonna be bench players.
I still think Rafa should go, followed by the Yanks and have a true football FAN in charge with a bit, not Billions of money, Get Jose or even better King Kenny at the helm then watch LFC soar once again.

Sell him think we can get a bit more than 9 for him ,Get chamakh deal done for the summer and maybe bring in rvn on loan until the end of the season or maybe zaki who was at wigan last year bit of a co ck but talk of 1m for him or loan

i think we need to but ruud van nistelrooy and play him up front with torres which means the formation will be 4-4-2 but as we know benitez plays 4-5-1 so i t wont happen and he has to think about changing it

Only issue of selling Babel is if Rafa would get that money for buying another striker. No-not sell, yes- sell.

Liverpool can only compete with the big guns in the premiership if they buy big name players. I cant see this happening with the current owners. They should just sell the team to the Saudis. With their endless reserves of cash Liverpool can build a formiddable team and then only win the premiership.The best buy ever was Torres and if he doesnt get enough help from the midfield he cant score goals. End result will be him leaving the club. Liverpool cant only rely on Gerrard. We need big name players in defense and midfield. Lucas must go. And if ever we are going to buy another striker the only name Liverpool should look at is David Villa. Who betta to support Torres.

Bottom line: no star signings- no silverware

I agree with John. 9Mill for Babel is a great price but Rafa doesn’t want to miss out on him incase he becomes a Thierry Henry or a Nicolas Anelka.

How can you say Kuyt is lazy? (very confused with that one). As for Argentina’s starting eleven, it has changed every single game under Maradonna. He has giving caps out for fun, even Insua got one!!

Rafa should keep Babel unless he can use the cash to buy a much, much,much, much better replacement.
Fed up, pissed off Red man ,thats me.

Kuyt, lazy? I don’t think so!!! He is a headless chicken. He may lack quality, but to say he is lazy is way off the mark. Our hardest working player I would say…
