You're the boss! What's your starting XI for Sunderland?

Well, we're little over 17 days away from the big Premiership kick off now and Reds boss Rafa Benitez' squad strengthening for the summer is almost complete.

With five new arrivals at Anfield already, Rafa yesterday admitted that he will need to offload players before he is able to bring in further new recruits. But after Aston Villa's revelations that Gareth Barry will now remain at Villa Park next season (remains to be seen), will Rafa look elsewhere to further strengthen his options? Well only Rafa can answer that.

Why should Liverpool have to sell in order to buy players?

Rafa Benitez yesterday admitted that he will need to sell members of the current squad if he wants to bring in further new faces before the start of the new season.

After splashing out nearly £20million on the signing of Irish striker Robbie Keane from Tottenham, Benitez confessed that he is still interested in bringing in Gareth Barry from Villa, but also that he will need to raise the cash to do so by selling. And those whose Anfield futures may be under threat include Jermaine Pennant, Andriy Voronin, Steve Finnan and Xabi Alonso.

What we can look forward to from our new number 7

If our new number seven Robbie Keane can strike up the sort of partnership with Fernando Torres that he had at White Hart Lane with Dimitar Berbatov, we could be in for some exciting times next season at Anfield. Here's why.

And so to celebrate his victory we've found a montage of his greatest moments in the famous red number seven shirt for you all to enjoy. So all that's left for me to say is, thanks for the memories Kenny! You're the greatest!

Can Rafa's new signings bring us the title?

Degen, Dossena, Cavalieri, Ngog and Keane. So far Rafa has splashed the cash on five new signings ahead of the forthcoming season.

And with at least one more player, possibly Gareth Barry, set to join the influx of talent into Anfield before the transfer window slams shut at the end of August, we want to know if you think Rafa's new signings, in addition to the wealth of talent already at his disposal, can finally bring Liverpool our first league championship title in 19 years.


What do you make of Rafa's summer signings so far? Let us know as usual below.

Alonso to Fener, do us a favour

Okay, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. These rumours circulating about Xabi Alonso being targeted by Turkish club Fenerbahce have to be a joke surely. I'm sure they'd love to sign him but does Xabi reciprocate Fener's feelings? I wouldn't have thought so.

Yes, his former national coach, Luis Aragones, has taken over the Istanbul club this summer with Euro 2008 squad member Daniel Guiza joining him on the Bosphorus, but surely Xabi is too good to even contemplate a move to a league like the Turkish Super League at the moment isn't he? No disrespect to anyone Turkish by the way!

I'd rather he stayed at Anfield, as I think last season was just a blip in his copybook, and instead of spending a fortune on Gareth Barry we should put what money we do have into signing a forward, such as Robbie Keane, and a top class wideman.

What do you think of the rumours? Would Xabi go to Turkey in your opinion? Or should we keep him? Let us know below.
