If that means screwing off a few nothing special players then I'm fine with that.
We buy quality left back? Get rid of Riise and Aurelio and bring Insua up.
Drop Kewell, drop a striker, and buy a quality Left Wing and let Babel pick up the slack? That works.
Drop another striker, buy a quality one... give Nemeth time in the Carling Cup/early FA cup rounds. That works.
Give Stephen Darby a bit of pitch time because Finnan is losing his game rapidly... Let us see if he's Liverpool quality.
If not? Buy a quality Right back and let Arbeloa back him up.

The theory is great, I have no problem with the theory but in practice?
Are we patient enough to experiment with various young players on the off chance they might be good enough, are people willing to sacrifice another season or two without a challenge just to see if Darby or Spearing or Nemeth are good enough to step up?
I don't think so, very few top clubs operate like that for a reason.
