Craig Bellamy should go, Harry Kewell or Zenden could do better then what he did last season. To me he's useless because he does not create and when opportunity to score was openned for him most of the time he'll just waste them, totally useless.
Crouch should stay.
Who's coming? I'll wait and see because it's not me who is hiring and managing Liverpool FC, hahaha :-)
Querresma (did I spell that right?) from FC Porto or Prtugal whould be my choice.

I think injuries have already killed of Kewell for good and I think he should now be packed off to some of the lower clubs. He has just been on injury bench most of the time. Zenden is good for cameo roles, but I would not expect him in long term roles.

I cant wait to see Liverpool to sign Tevez from West Ham.. Just look at the way he had contributed for the last 10 games for West Ham... Great player!!!

Benitez is very good at mounting a challenge in the European Champions League but when it comes to the Premiership he is lost. The only way he can challenge my boys or Man USA, or even Arsenal is to build a team full of powerfull players. Alonso can go, but Gerrard and Carragher must stay. Might as well let go any players who don't have the stamina for the Prem. The reason why Chelsea succeeds is because of brut strength in Essien, Drogba, Terry, Makalele, ect..
Same with Man U, Rooney, Scholes, Heinze, ect.. along with a few flair players to make it move fast.
Tough and fast team win in the Premiership, while skilled and tactical team fair well in Europe.
The pressure will be on Benitez this season. He need to mount a title challenge or his time at Anfield will be over.

I agree with you that EPL is all about the physical strength whereas La Liga and ECL is all about flair and skill. That is why Liverpool is more successful there. But, I guess with more and more EPL teams getting in brute force, like Bolton and I guess that Sam is going to put in some steel into Newcastle United as well now, it is going to be progressively more difficult for teams like Chelsea and Man U to win based solely on brute force and stamina.
Chelsea's secret for success has been the driving force of Lampard and Terry if you ask me. And last season Lampard was off his best and Terry was injured and you can see they lost the championship.
But, you are right, Liverpool does need a bit more steel up front and in the middle!!
