Rafa has sold Kromkamp, which was expected at some stage because he did not improve the team, but to sell him without bringing in cover at the same time could cost us dearly.
Lucas Neill would have been a great bit of business as Finnan is 31 now and more likely to pick up injuries.
But it is a worry that we have no direct cover for right back now. I know Rafa says Carragher or Paletta can cover if something should happen to Finnan but i would not like to see Carragher moved from centre while Paletta is still clearly learning his trade as seen by his mistakes in the pre-season.
Other last day transfers were crazy, mainly the West Ham saga, 2 great players but the Hammers are clearly been used as a feeder club now, by who nobody knows yet but i dont expect to see Tevez or Mascherano to be there next season, but they will probably get the cream of south American talent to put in the shop window in the future for one season...good luck to them as long as roman chelski is not involved.
The best bit of business from the top 4 was undoubtedly done by Arsenal Julio Baptista is going to be a asset, Gallas is a class defender and wenger seems to have worked his magic again by recruiting 18-year-old starlet Denilson from Sao Paulo.
Liverpool Football Club have still strenghtened more over the summer than our rivals but Arsenal got a little closer with their last day signings, but as always...IN RAFA WE TRUST.
