I would have to say that so far we have made some exceptional signings. Paletta looks a bargain as does Gonzalez. Lets hope that Aurelio isn't out for long, after the Kaiserslauten game. I would imagine that if we do not sign another right-side winger for competition, Pennant will get a heck of a lot of game time, which is great news for team dynamics.
A lot has been made about the two "troubled" signings this summer, and even though I would agree that those days are behind them, the media would love for them to fumble the ball while playing for us.
To me, I think it would be a toss up between Bellamy and Gonzo. Seeing Gonzo playing for La U de Chile and recently in the La Liga, I am convinced that he will see Kewell to the bench. Kewell is very one-dimensional, and although he is inspiring to the team with short bursts into the box, Gonzo can do all that in waves. Gonzo is a lot more accurate than Kewell in regards to passing and shots on goal.
Bellamy has the pace and audacity to take on the last defenders. He can put the ball away when he is 1-1 with the keeper, which is something we lacked when Owen left. He will be a massive hit.
A toss of the coin sees Gonzo making the biggest impact at Anfield this season over Bellamy.
NB I added Gary Ablett in here cos we need some major development in our reserves. Here's looking to you Gaza!! Hope you will be hugely successful!
