Following yesterday’s dismally disappointing draw, the news that Liverpool were ready to make a bid for Wayne Bridge was probably the last thing I wanted to see this morning.

Where does one start: not only is Bridge injury prone, he is no better than what we have meaning that he just isn’t good enough. Surely the £6 million fee would be better spent elsewhere then on a Chelsea reject.

If Benitez wants to prove to the owners that he knows what he’s doing with their money, then he has a strange way of showing it.
