Hi eds
With the info you gave us yesterday in mind, aside from CM and CB do you think we will look to strengthen the wide areas this summer or do you think that will happen in the next window or two? The reason I ask is I'm interested in knowing if we are still looking at Konoplianka and DiMaria.

Thanks

{Ed002's Note: Konoplyanka will be at West Ham if a move to the EPL happens. Di Maria remains a maybe but PSG have a package on the table that Real Madrid might find acceptable - the player certainly will. There will be a managed rebuild over three windows still - but too much too soon does not really help - as Spurs discovered last season. One wonders if Brendan Rodgers will utter the }

Di Maria is wanting crazy money, I believe it's around or above £200k a week
I'm sorry but he's not worth that type of money
Plus if you watch him, he does tend to give the ball away ALOT.
I'd much rather get Rues

Rafa Benitez did a similar thing which many people criticised him for. He too bought several average players instead of buying the more pricier quality player. Rodgers doesn't have the best past record either, he wasted millions on average players last summer, so he could be potentially wasting more significant amounts of money that Liverpool do not have. Buying players not much better than the youth they have. That could upset a few youngsters Then they all have to gel.

Thanks ed for the info I am surprised konoplyanka would want to go to West Ham after saying he wants to go to a champions league club.

It could be that Manchester United were put off by his attitude of only wanting to go to a champions league club.

With Shaw and Herrera bagged another CM and CB and we will compete at the top next season Woodward seems to be saying all the right things so hopefully we will do ok this window.
Hopefully by the end of the US tour Shaw and Herrera will be bedding in nice add two more to that and I think that will be enough until January anyway ;)
