Albert Riera Signs from Espanyol

[oshcrazi]

What are your thoughts fellow fans? I think that we needed another Midfielder to come in behind Gerrard who I have the distinct feeling that his injury will not just be a 10-14 day stint. Any thoughts?

This is an attempt to fix the dreaded left side problem.

We've needed a true LW for some time. Right now, Benny and Dirk just cut inside way too much--leaving no space for Torres and now Keane to work. Let's hope that Riera can provide some added width and give them some room. Also, what will be Babel's role on the team? Will he be moving to RW or come in as a sub for a forward late in games and provide some fresh legs in the attack? He's certainly got the pace to be pretty effective as a late game addition.

Halftime at AV and the frustrating lack of creativity on the wings demands an infusion of talent. Liverpool can not stretch the field, had two measly crosses, and refused to take anyone on down the sides - everything went back or inside. Yuck.
