If Rafa Benitez gets the £30 million transfer kitty he's rumoured to be asking Liverpool for, then how will he spend it?Here's my best guess...

He needs a left back because Djimi Traore is, well, rubbish. It could be worth a gamble on Manchester United's outbound Mikael Silvestre. Silvestre's less than perfect, but Traore's less than competent, so Benitez might be happy to pay around £4million for the Frenchman.

It's no secret that Benitez wants a right winger, because poor Djibril Cisse can't keep playing out of position. He's been chasing Simao for so long it's looking like unrequited love, especially as the Benfica man dumped Benitez out of Europe this week. My money's on either Betis'' Joquain or, if Chelsea are willing to sell, little Shaun Wright-Phillips. Any of these three will likely cost around £12million

Morientes isn't cut out for the Premiership, Cisse looks like a waste of money, Fowler isn't what he used to be, Crouch can't be relied on to score regularly. Liverpool need a new striker, and there are plenty of options. The most popular move would be to resign Michael Owen, though Newcastle would probably want a full refund on the £17million they shelled out in the summer. Jermaine Defoe is looking grumpy on the Spurs bench but he won't be cheap either. David Villa and Fernando Torres would also break the bank, though Benitez may be able to engineer a part-exchange with Morientes if his reputation is still good back home

So there you go, a decent left back and two big money signings at right wing and forward. £30 million well spent, but it still won't be enough to outspend Chelsea.
