Cash an Carra poser for Rafa; Stan the Man.


Byline: Stan COLLYMORE Stanley Victor Collymore (born January 22 1971 in Stone, Staffordshire) is a retired English footballer. Early career
A talented centre forward, Collymore started his career as an apprentice footballer with Walsall, and also Wolverhampton Wanderers, before being released
 

AS much as I respect Jamie Carragher Simon Petersen(born January 28, 1978 in Bootle, Merseyside) is an English international footballer playing his club football at Liverpool where he is at present vice-captain, behind teammate and fellow Liverpudlian Steven Gerrard.  and everything he's done for Liverpool, I do think he's starting to dip.

Him and Martin Skrtel have had a shaky start to the season and again at West Ham Coordinates:

West Ham is a district in the London Borough of Newham, in east London, England, located 6.1 miles (9.8 km) east of Charing Cross. From 1889 to 1965 it formed part of the County Borough of West Ham.
 he didn't have the best of games.

Once again Liverpool conceded goals from set-pieces and Carragher does not look as solid as he did.

It makes me wonder if Rafa Benitez shouldn't take whatever transfer budget he will have in January and spend it all on a top-quality centre-half.

I'm not saying he should replace Carragher now or that he is finished - far from it.

But I do think you should strengthen your team from a position of strength so if Benitez brought the new Jamie Carragher in now, he would have time to bed him in over the next season or two.

Every player - no matter how good - dips at some point and it makes sense to have Carra's replacement groomed and ready to take over when he finally has to go.

Jamie is 31 and can't go on forever, so it's better to think about these things in advance.
