What should some of the Premier League clubs do during the current January transfer window. Let's see.
Manchester United
They are currently sitting at the top of the table and have a strong team at the moment. Alex Ferguson doesn't seem interested in signing new players either. However, if there is one player that Man U should approach, it's gotta be their former superstar David Beckham.
Beckham is currently looking for a European club to take him on loan before the MLS season starts in March. Man U need a right-winger since Antonio Valencia is injured and Park Ji-Sung is on Asian Cup duty with South Korea.
Golden Balls (his nickname) would fit as a good backup for Nani who is the only available right-footed wide man at the moment.
Chelsea
The Blues need to shore up their defence if they want to finish higher than the current 5th position they are stuck at. Werder Bremen's Per Mertesacker is a good choice to consider.
He has good height, a strong header and possess lots of experience. The drawback, however, is that Mertesacker has a history of frequent injuries.
Arsenal
Manager Arsene Wenger is not really fond of signing players during this time of the year. Well, he did buy Russian Sand King, Andrei Arshavin two seasons ago but expect the Gunners to be quiet again like last year.
What Arsenal should do is to retain the services of their playing staff. Offering new contracts to influential players like Samir Nasri who is still undecided about his future.
Who says Arsenal needs to buy? They just need to pull some young kids out from their youth academy if they require some players.
Manchester City
Anybody who can kick a ball straight.
Tottenham
Yes, they want Beckham. Beckham wants them too. But is this "want" a necessity? Their impressive midfield of Luka Modric, van der Vaart, Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale is currently peaking.
The sudden inclusion of a 35 year-old Becks will only disrupt the chemistry of the team. Harry Redknapp has denied that signing Beckham is a commercial decision but this world is full of lies.
Maybe they should offload wingers David Bentley and Giovani dos Santos. The pair may rediscover their form with more playing time while on loan to another club for half a season.
Liverpool
They need a striker, good enough to replace David Ngog and form a formidable partnership with Fernando Torres. The Reds are eyeing Emmanuel Adebayor, the Manchester City forward who has slipped down the pecking order.
City demand Liverpool to pay Adebayor's full salary of £160000 a week before they let their man go. This may prove to be an obstacle so I think Liverpool should look elsewhere in France or Germany where there are many other quality strikers.
They also need a winger and have targeted Hamsburg's Eljero Elia. However, I want them to get Bolton's Korean winger Lee Chung-Yong as I want to see an Asian player at Anfield.
They can also consider CSKA Moscow's Japanese free-kick master Keisuke Honda for the search of a striker.
Oh and last but not least, get a new manger.
