If, as is rumoured, Liverpool were to sign Fernando Torres, their roster of forwards would look something like this:
Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt, Peter Crouch, Craig Bellamy, Andriy Voronin, Djibril Cisse, Luis Garcia (who can play up front)
There’s every chance that Cisse, who returns from a loan spell with Marseille, won’t be at Anfield for the start of the season, but even without the bendy-legged Frenchman, you’d say that Liverpool need to ditch one of the players from that list. So which one would you release? If it was up to Pies, we’d get rid of Bellamy, who hasn’t done enough to convince us that he’s worth a place in the squad of a top-four club. I guess Benitez would ditch Bellamy too.
