Yup bro, changes could be a bonus at times but our current squad is adequate, so hopefully not too many changes.
It would be exactly what happened last year when we got a glut of new players and then struggled to blend them in initially. That and the World Cup too. So I don't think we should be going for bulk changes this time. Next season is probably our best bet to make a serious effort for the Premiership. No major tournament (Euro only in 2008) and we already have a decent enough squad size. So what we would need is maybe 2-3 more additions only. I personally think in terms of squad players, we have enough already. So whoever Rafa brings in has to be able to fit right into the first team. We need quality signings.
Team same as this year, but with:
A new leftback (If Aurelio's injury proves detrimental to his career)
A new left winger (In any cases if Kewell gets mangled again)
Pablo Aimar (As without Garcia we have no-one with flair.)
David Villa, as he's currently the best striker in Europe.
Villa was reported as saying LFC is the only club in England he'd go to, and Pepe Reina is his best mate.
Makes you wonder...
