With such an array of talent, Dalglish can rotate accordingly game by game and has a variety of tools at his disposal to exploit the opposing team’s weaknesses. The obvious caveat to all this, is the possibility that the new signings fail to deliver on their potential. The Robbie Keane fiasco still has fans breaking out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night and the thought of history repeating itself would send shivers down any Reds fan’s spine. Henderson remains the biggest gamble as a raw yet relatively unproven talent, but with Dalglish’s track record of getting the best out his players the former Sunderland man shouldn’t be written off as an expensive flop so soon.
Yes none of the signings this summer can be described as marquee and Liverpool naysayers will scream off scousers getting carried away once again on a crest of good feeling . It is true another poor start to the season would have the wolves circling quickly, but the difference this time is the optimism around the club is grounded in realism, particularly if you consider the clubs form since January.
Talk of the title is still fanciful to say the least, Liverpool would need at least another couple of players of the calibre of Suarez and Gerrard before even considering such a notion.Yet anything less than a fourth place finish next season, even with the acceptance it will be more competitive than ever, will seen as a huge disappointment. The perpetual gloom which has hung over Anfield the last two years has lifted and as the song suggests says at the end of the road there may well be a silver sun and a golden sun.

Guess you don’t know the words to the song because they are ” at the end of a storm there’s a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark”! I don’t know the song that you refer to. What is it?
And here’s one reason why we won’t……..
No Left Back of any quality !!!
Insua could be good after some experience in Turky and Italy, but I can see him being sold.
Aurellio is made of glass and can manage about 6 games a season.
Robinson is just a little young to be first choice, he will be amazing, almost already is. We must sign someone great so he can learn.
Lfc Pls dont sell maxi for adam liverpool need left ful back now than ever. Liverpool fc 4 live. I lv u all the fan. Thank u .
