Left wing is the last position we will be looking to add to during transfer window

If you've read anything regarding transfers and Liverpool over the last week or so, all you will have seen is us linked with the likes of Downing from Middlesbrough and Valencia from Wigan, but after Rafa signed Albert Riera in the summer and also prefers to play Ryan Babel on the left; it is highly unlikely we will be going for another left winger.

Riera has only had 1 or 2 off games since signing for us, and although he has only managed one goal (against Wigan), it is fair to say he has been a decent signing based on his overall performances so far; so it's not as if Rafa is going to turf him out in January is it?

Also, we have Ryan Babel - when he gets a game it is pretty much always on the left wing, and if he is lucky he gets a sub appearance upfront. When he has come on and scored, it has been from the left, then there's Yossi Benayoun who will get a run out on the left if needed, so do you honestly think Rafa will spend £10million+ on a left winger? simple answer: NO!.

Check out this video of Babel in action and then try and tell me we need Downing instead:
