If we're talking about who to sign I'm guessing it's ok to discuss who we wouldn't mind leaving...or is that best left in a different thread?

He would be an excellent signing and is probably one of the best right backs in the league. I however doubt Rafa would want him as he's a good footballer, would improve the squad and push Arbeloa out of the team.

Defensively he's not as good alround as Arbeloa and he's not as good in the air which may weaken the defence. If he is to sign its imperritive we play him to his strengths, which are overlapping, getting crosses in and receiving the ball in the attacking half of the pitch. Especially against the better sides he will probably be targeted for Arial bombardments diagnol balls etc. He is however quick and good at getting close to wingers which is two things Arbeloa isn't. He will in my be a massive improvement on Arbeloa IF used properly.
Onto Heskey, I'm sorry but no! We've been there, seen it, done it, wasn't good enough the first time, won't be this time. Infact, thats probably wrong... He is good enough once every seven or eight games, more than good enough infact, but he doesn't score enough goals consistently, misses to many chances, is a bottler and isn't aggressive enough on a consistent basis.
We do need a target man. But he's not the answer. If he had shown the sort of form he was in, in his first full season at Liverpool then I'd re-consider, but he's never produced that sort of form in any other season in his Career and at 30, going on 31 he's not about to in my eyes.
He is however better than Kuyt.
