Oh yeah, Scottish midfielder Charlie Adam looks set to join Liverpool after passing a medical. He will be the second person to join the playing staff at Anfield after Jordan Henderson was bought from Sunderland. With two new central midfielders becoming Liverpool players, those like Christian Poulsen and Alberto Aquilani are expected to leave to make way for the newbies.

There are rumours that Raul Meireles, who was voted PFA Fan's Player of the Year last season, will be sold in attempt by the Reds to cash in on his increased valuation after a successful debut season. Honestly, I would prefer Meireles to be the one to go and Aquilani to stay.

Liverpool can easily sell Meireles for at least 20 million euros compared to the 13 million which they paid to purchased him a year ago. Aquilani will retain his No. 4 shirt once again and definitely still has the spark to make it big at Anfield.

Personally, I think Liverpool should take advantage of Korean striker Park Chu-yong's situation and made him another signing of theirs during this transfer window. Park's current club AS Monaco has just been relegated to the second divison of French football and the player has made no secret of his desire to look for another employer.

He has publicly claimed that he would welcome a move to the Reds and the latter's director of football, Damien Comolli, is thought to be interested in landing the South Korean captain. Manchester United and park Ji-sung are the perfect reasons why Liverpool should not hesitate in signing an Asian player.

Manchester United have not only knocked Liverpool off domestically but have since overtaken their rivals in terms of popularity in the East. Countries in the East are more nationalistic where if a Thai player were to play in the Premier League, chances are 90% of the citizens will be watching that match.

So I say, Liverpool should be bold for once and venture out further. If the Park Chu-yong deal cannot be concluded, there is always a guy full of potential from Singapore by the name of Raymond. Well, he likes to sprout nonsense on his blog but do no underestimate him.
