Liverpool have enough goals in them already so I reckon Barry will be the priority over Villa (there's a joke there) especially as their midfield is easily the weakest out of the top 4

I'm not really interested in who has the strongest/weakest components of a team, I'm interested in the strongest/weakest team itself. Which currently clearly isnt us.
For me, Villa makes our team much stronger than Barry would. If you asked me which is the better deal, £20 million for Gareth Barry, or £20 million for David Villa...I know which one I would immediately, without hesistation, answer.
As for having enough goals, I dont think we do. One of the big things which people often say about us is..who would win you the match if Gerrard/Torres wasnt there. To be honest, with good reason too. In my opinion (and I am just an armchair fan, not a manager or footballing expert so take my opinion with as little regard as you wish), but imo , Villa would win us more games than Barry would.

Of course you do.but we'v got the best centre mid
If Liverpool want to improve sufficiently domestically they need to strengthen their weakest areas first before improving an area in which they do ok.
If I'm correct their regular MF currently consists of Gerrard, Alonso, Pennant, Benayoun, Kewell & Mascherano. Alonso is likely to leave and Pennant, Kewell and Benayoun just aren't good enough.
Buying Villa before sorting out your weaknesses is like Chelsea buying another goalie before sorting out their striker situation
Haven't you said yourself that Gerrard is the best player in the world in his position?

Lets not take this off topic, it's all a matter of opinion anyway.

Well, thats your opinion. Everyones is different. My opinion is that I would rather buy Villa for £20 million than Barry for a similar price. I personally would rather play Babel, Gerrard, Mascherano and Kuyt across the middle of the park, with Babel and Kuyt pushing forward, and Villa and Torres up front.
Like I say though, everyone has a different opinion and at the end of the day the only ones which count are Liverpools and David Villas. All we can do is wait and see what develops now.
Pretty much nailed on but the only thing that would be awesome is if the real Ronaldinho turns up
sadly, I think *a* Ronaldinho will turn up...probably for some ludicrous amount of bank stuffing a week, then bugger off again a year later.
