we have 20 million to spend right now
would you sign mascherano for 18 million or a creative genius type like aimar or van der vaat?
i believe a creative midfielder with guile is the only way we move forward as a team
in a perfect world we sign them all but i think the americans aint that generous
That is a much more sensible point than saying Carragher could do Masherano's job, he couldn't.
I've long said that given our financial situation, we've got too many central midfielders. We've just sold one for 8 million quid (and by common consent he was number five in the pecking order) and meanwhile we ain't a got a second striker or a winger worthy of mention. It's daft and the squad is lopsided.
Step one to addressing that is getting Gerrard back out into the position where he is the best in the World bar none, and letting Lucas, Masherano and Alonso fight it out for the two central midfield spots (or alternatively let them take it in turns which is our normal method). Then flog off eitheror both of Benayoun and Pennant (keep Benayoun out of the two if we must) and then move on from there.
