  At least two national newspapers today are reporting that Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is planning a massive cull of his squad in the summer.
  
  While it's obvious that the manager wants rid of various players, it's interesting to see that a couple of journos have both touched on this on the same day which suggests someone's feeding some info out on purpose.
  
  All the usual suspects facing the axe are named in today's reports i.e. Bruno Cheyrou, Anthony Le Tallec, Florent Sinama Pongolle, Carl Medjani, Neil Mellor etc plus Djibril Cisse of course and also Djimi Traore.

  But why neil mellor? The guy needs more exposure before he'll become the next big thing.
  
  Rafa forgot that that lad has help REDS to score crucial goals last season.

  Good , I am looking forward to see the changes in the summer. Some of these players are not living to their expectations. Ciise : I will never forgive and forget that miss at Old Trafford.

  Watever he's doing....he has my faith! He may not be dot on with all his decisions on players in and out so far.....but overall, we can see him improving the team!
  
  The changes made this summer will be crucial to our progress towards the next level

  I still believe that Neil Mellor, Sengkang-Punggol and Le Tallec are good players.
  
  But maybe they dun fit in Rafa's system. Well, Rafa's known for culling players who refuse to perform consistently and only want to "show off" their abilities in big matches.
  
  Just ask Smicer. We just have to believe in the Rafalution.

  Fowler - Cos he is not FREE anymore.
  
  Dudek - No longer picking ball.
  
  Cisse - Cannot tahan his funny hairdo or need to find him a new hairdresser every match.
  
  Le Tellac - Ah Ben seems to hate French people a lot or cannot tahan their stuck up style.
  
  Finnan - Kicked him out for Krompany.
  
  Hyppia - Replaced him with Agger.
  
  Hamann - Ran out of Contract.
