Dubai International Capital are on the verge of buying Liverpool Football Club and by all accounts we will have a lot more money to buy players but i dont think it will be on the same scale as the chelski madness, but this is Christmas so lets imagine that DIC was another blank checkbook. Who out of our first team players would you keep even if you could buy the very best for all positions from around the globe.
I thought about this and its very hard to say we would sell any players because at Liverpool we back our players so we must remember this is just a Christmas dream and so we try to leave emotion and loyalty for our players out of it....very hard when we got god on our team...so here goes.
Pepe Reina: After his dodgy start to the season a lot of people might say sell, but he is a good keeper and with confidence back i think we should keep... but he needs to be consistent or Buffon or the likes may take his place.
Steve Finnan: Keep, he may be getting on but there is not many better right backs out there.. massively underrated
Jamie Carragher: Keep, dont need to explain anything about this one
Daniel Agger: Keep, this guy is already a great centre back great going forward and will improve
Sami Hyypia: Ok this is the first time i am going to break my own rule and let emotion rule the head, Sami is still good now but he is getting slower but he deserves to get a prem champions title with the club he has served so well.
Gabriel Paletta: Not enough known yet great tackle but makes some crazy decisions worth keeping in squad and see how he develops
John Arne Riise: Keep no doubt one of the very best left backs in the world
Harry Kewell: Love to see him play for us some day but would have to go if we got a world class fit left sided midfielder
Steven Gerrard:.................best footballer on the planet today
Luis Garcia: Scored some important goals for us but disappoints most of the time and sometimes has the tendency to turn you mental...gotta go
Mark Gonzalez: Came with great reputation and expectations, have seen nothing yet to justify that, but there is something about him...loan him out to an english club to toughen him up the we might just see what Rafa is on about
Fabio Aurelio: Bye bye we can buy better cover for Riise
Jermaine Pennant: Starting to show a little promise but on our unlimited budget we can buy a player that is world class so also bye bye
Boudewijn Zenden: Better in the middle but not good enough
Xabi Alonso & Momo Sissoko: I lumped these 2 players in together because after just buying 2 world class wingers and having Gerrard as an automatic starter these 2 players will have to rotate depending on our opposition..Alonso the master of the pass and Momo the ball winner who never gives up who could prove to be Rafa`s best buy ever, he is that good and he has that much potential.
Peter Crouch: Very difficult one because i am a fan of his, great late sub role because nobody playing the game today can change the direction of a game like him but he would have to be in the super sub role.
Craig Bellamy: Another very tough decision even with his great form of late there is better out there so either squad or bye bye
Dirk Kuyt: Going nowhere class act lately finishing a bit off but gives everything in every game set up play even defends a real gem and would make any team
Robbie Fowler: I left this one till last because its the biggest heart leading the head situations he has to stay and he should actually be given a little bit more of a chance but no matter what he should be in the squad that finally lifts the league title....god deserves it just for the passion he has for this club.
Ok so i found it very hard to fire our players but in a short summary i believe the players we have that would make it into any team in the world are Gerrard, Riise, Kuyt and Carragher because only we know how good he is...and in a year or 2 you can add Agger and Sissoko to that list.
Who would you keep?
