10 Central Midfielders?...

Currently, Liverpool FC has loads of CMs. Names like Raul Meireles, Steven Gerarrd, Lucas, Spearing and Alberto Aquilani should ring a bell. DOn't forget Jonjo Shelvy and that new kid Jordan Henderson as well. That's like 7 top class central midfielders chasing 2 spots in the first eleven (if King Kenny decides to play 4-4-2). Ohh...not to forget that Danish dude...Poulsen.......plus Joe Cole......

And now.....Charlie Adams, seems to be the latest addition to the squad. To be honest, I'm happy that this dude will be coming to the team. So, the team now has 10 CMs in the team. That's something that other team should be envy of....hehehehe..

Kenny will have some mega thinking to do in re-shuffling the midfield areas. Of course, new people brings new ideas and different style of play. Adams for me, can be the 'Vinnie Jones' of Liverpool. The team needs someone to be the hardman. It used to be Mascherano but after he left, the job was left to Lucas & Spearing at times. Obviously I'm not a fan of Blackpool but at times when I got to watch Blackpool plays, this guys seems to be the heart of the team. Not bad for a one time Rangers-reject eh?

Having said that, I'm excited to see the variable options that the team now have. Quite solid on paper though. To be honest, I'm glad to see Aquaman back to Liverpool. I think, he's a better player than Raul. Maybe, 3 of the 9 players will have to go. If it's up to me, then, Poulsen, Cole and Raul should go. At least, these 3 players in my opinion still has some values in them.

Anyways, if Liverpool can put another 2 additions especially a back up striker and a solid left back, I would think that Liverpool can actually compete with the top 5 teams next season. Now that Insua has come back from Turkey, he should be a good back up to Fabio. (Not konchesky though...he's just not good enough to be playing for Liverpool).

I can't wait till the season starts though and obviously, looking forward the boys here in KL in 2 weeks time...Maybe, it's good time to start believing again......and I can't help to say that Roy Hodgson is an idiot...hahaha
