Liverpool were interested in Defoe when they signed Bellamy, thats why he would of been a good signing. I think for scoring goals he would of been like a Michael Owen for us, not like for like but he could of filled that role nicely. And yeh Babel is liverpools most skillful player without a doubt. He flicks, chips, dummies, and this is something Liverpool have been without for quite some time. Every team needs a player like that. This is Liverpools. Internationally, yes he has alot more to learn, but he's getting his chance at Liverpool because that type of player was missing. Until he doesnt get his regular games he wont get consistency. Benitez should have him playing every game. Not sure why he has him on the bench soo much. But its just as good knowing he's on the bench ready to be bought on. Wright Phillips is the same, now that he is getting regular 90 mins and his stamina is improving he will play his best football this season. Man City had alot of area's where there was no charge and Midfield was the main one. He's kind of taken that role on and the best thing is, the guy can score goals. He's there version of Gerrard and Ronaldo but not as refined. He can get a little too hasty sometimes and thats because he is still young in temrs of the central role hes trying to fulfill. Gerrard will need more support in the next season or 2, someone who's younger and can make runs from Midfield through to the strikers. Our next signing in midfield should have pace as an essential. He's still quick but only in bursts. And when he moves hes like lightning. He proved in the last 2 England games. Babel should maybe link up more with Gerrard, you dont need Barry.
Regardless of this, Chelsea will win the season. Liverpools main priority should be number 2 spot ahead of Man Utd. This is there first step, and then who knows .. ... .
