The recent signing of Nick Barmby from across Stanley Park will prove to be a fantastic buy for Liverpool. He is exactly what we lack, someone to put balls through for the likes of Owen, Fowler and Heskey to finish. He is extremely creative and is just reaching the peak of his career. The transfer will cause great uproar among Everton supporters, however.

He has made a great start to his Liverpool career, combining very well with other players, especially Smicer.
Last season, we really did not have this creativity from midfield, so this season, I think we have a great chance of qualifying for the Champions League. Well done Gerard Houllier for another great buy!
