4. Alex Pearce

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ckTIK4hJ8 With Jamie Carragher now 34, his long Anfield career looks closer and closer to ending. He can no longer be relied on for his club's big games, point in case being the fact he didn't feature at all against Manchester United yesterday, and has only made one full appearance all season. The time has now come for Brendan Rodgers to consider a long-term replacement for the veteran defender, and he has lined up a move for Reading's Alex Pearce according to reports. Liverpool have already had an offer for the player knocked back by the beleaguered Premier League side, who are battling against relegation this season. However, he is out of contract in the summer meaning he could be available for a knock-down fee this month or could leave for nothing in the summer. Rodgers is an admirer of the youngster and promoted him to the role of Reading captain when he was in charge of the club in 2009. Source(s): Daily Mail
