JOHN ALDRIDGE: Liverpool FC need more options in attack

15 August 2009 01:00
HAVING come so close last season, we all desperately hope this is the year when Liverpool finally clinch the Premier League title. It's been a mixed summer with a couple of big signings but a few key players moving on. We've lost Alvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso but gained Glen Johnson and Alberto Aquilani so I would say the squad is about as strong as the one we had last season. I've seen Aquilani play a few times and there's no doubt he's a very talented player. The concern is we don't know how long he is going to be out injured. And we also don't know how long he will take to adapt to the demands of the Premier League. I was disappointed to see Arbeloa go and I thought £3.5m for him was a great bit of business for Real Madrid but Johnson is undoubtedly a better attacking full-back.
