They have the players available, i just feel that it lacks the quality required for a top club. If Agger can stay healthy next season than CB shouldn't need any reinforcements.

Hyypia has showed this season that even though he's absurdly slow, he can still do the job, Skrtel has settled in nicely and Hobbs will be back from his loan.

I really don't rate Arbeloa. I think he'd be good back up for a new RB but he hasn't done enough to convince me. Also, like you said Riise is probably leaving and Aurelio is injury prone so left back needs a look at as well. Liverpool also have Emeliano Insua who is a left back, but we (I) havn't really seen much of him to make a fair judgment.

I remember a few months ago that FC Schalke right back Rafinha was linked in a move to Liverpool. I don't have Setanta sports so i can't watch the Budesliga but from i've seen from him in champions league, he's good at going forward and gives a good delivery into the box. Not sure how much he'd cost.

I think brining in Barry would just mess things up due to the fact that there is already so many options in midfield. Gerrard and Mascherano will probably play most of the games and depending on the formation, Alonso will as well. I just think it's a perfect combination that they have - Mascherano is the hard man of the team, the workhorse, is back to mop up any loose balls and really gets stuck into challenges...Alonso likes to hang back as well but is more creative than Mascherano and has a killer instinct for good passes...And of course Gerrard playing just behind Torres has been amazing to watch. They also have Lucas and Plessis in the squad.

If Barry were to join than Rafa would either need to shuffle the formation or play back up to the already established midfield. Of course, the other option is to sell Alonso, which IMO would be a mistake...But, hey what do i know? It'll be interesting to see what happens and i assume if Gerrard ralleys for Barry than we'll be seeing him in the team next season
