Id much rather stick with the Torres Gerrard combo upfront & strenghten behind them. For the money wed have to pay for him we could get 2 2o mill players or 3 12+ mill players that would improve the team much more in my eyes

I see what your saying nando but were lacking a world class striker, Gerrard after all is a midfielder but it depends if Rafa will change to 4-4-2 rather than the 4-5-1 he likes to play, the strikers we have are:

1. Torres
2. Ngog
3. Nemeth
4. Voronin
5. Pacheco

Out of the above the only 15+ a season striker is Torres and the rest are either reserve players or squad players, if Torres gets injured I honestly can't see us getting many goals from Voronin or Ngog although I'd love to see Pacheco/Nemeth given a chance in the first team.

If Torres was injured I would expect Kuyt to be given a role as Striker and use Benayoun to fill his role out wide?

Would probably be a better option that Ngog or Voronin.

that I promise

can we expect a bid for David Villa then?

so no.

However I think a double swoop at £50m for Villa and Silva is dreamland. Would dearly love to see them here in January for a push for the premier league but I fear that, unless we have a marked improvement throughout the team but mostly defensively well before January (i.e. NOW), that we may be out of the race by January.
