BBC Football ? My Club ? Premier League ? Liverpool
WINDOW WATCH: LIVERPOOL
Its been one of the poorest season's for Liverpool. Having finished runners up to Manchester United in the 2008-09 season, many backed the Merseyside giants to finally break their Premier League hoodoo, and claim their first league title since the 1989-90 season. But the Reds finished seventh in the league and were knocked out of the Champions League in group stages.
Liverpool now can look forward to an exciting transfer window, if the Reds owners are to be trusted. The newly appointed Shantanu Ambekar is expected to be given a huge budget to strengthen the side during the transfer windown and hopefully he takes the full advantage of it.
Ambekar will be looking to add some future talent and the signing of Rangers' talented starlet Danny Wilson is certainly one for the future, but the club are also in need of some marquee signings. Players who will settle quickly in the Premier League and have an huge impact.
Here, BBC Sport looks at some of the players who will be on Shantanu's shortlist this summer.
Name: Nedum Onuoha
Age: 23
Position: Defender
Potential cost: ?8m
Club: Manchester City
The talented 23-year-old seems surplus to requirements at Eastlands, and with 113 senior appearances under his belt, including 94 Premier League matches, would certainly need no time to settle into the league.

Name: Fabio Coentrao
Age: 22
Position: Defender
Potential cost: ?15m
Club: Benfica
The 22-year-old could be the right man to replace Insua, who looks to be heading to the Serie A during the summer.

Name: Luis Suarez
Age: 23
Position: Striker
Potential cost: ?15m
Club: Ajax
Has been scoring goals for fun in the Dutch league. He could be the ideal partner for Fernando Torres or even the perfect replacement for the Spaniard.

Name: Lassana Diarra
Age: 25
Position: Midfield
Potential Cost: ?20m
Club: Real Madrid
Seems surplus to requirements under the new Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and with the experience of playing in the Premier League, the former Arsenal and Chelsea man could be the perfect replacement for Javier Mascherano.
Sign or swerve? SIGN
Do you agree?
Name: Ashley Young
Age: 25
Position: Midfield
Potential Cost: ?15m
Club: Aston Villa
Liverpool need a left winger and Ashley Young could be the right choice. Young has been sensational for Aston Villa since his arrival for Watford.
