The closest guess i've come to is David Villa

He's a supporter isn't he ?
Based in Spain
Plays in a position we don't really need
Hasn't been mentioned under Dalglish
Could be bought for around 20m-25m ?
Would keep Reina happy, being a Spanish team mate
But the stumbling block is his contract has 3 years left, not two

but realistically it's not him 😀

david villa...we can get for 20-25m?

maybe 4 years ago
[/quote]

He's 29 and hasn't been brilliant for Barcelona so maybe they would sell and get someone new in ?
[/quote]

17 goals in 25 appearances and cost them 40 mil last summer.

He's doing well

I dont see how it's that narrow when both aguero and suarez possess the skills necessary to be effective out wide.
[/quote]

They do but that's not their natural position.
Since Suarez joined I have barely seen him cross the ball from the sideline, he seems to always try to cut inside.
Wasn't it quite evident against Arsenal that we lacked width?
I really hope Enrique joins and a quick winger. I hope the mystery man is Robben.
[/quote]

Hardly surprising given our injury list.

However if we had Johnson/Kelly at RB and Aurelio / Enrique (maybe) at LB then suddenly we would have width again. I would love a cracking winger in (would not say no to Robben) ..... but I'd love Aguero more.

He has not scored in the last 11 games for Barca.

Great player though!!!

Is this the signing mentioned in the insider tip? Ex-player passing info = Riise?

United, Liverpool and Arsenal chase Roma midfielder



Jeremy Menez, wanted by Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, is almost certainly on his way to the Premier League after Roma’s notorious Ultras targeted his car in a terrifying attack.

The unsettled midfielder had a furious bust-up with coach Vincenzo Montella after Roma lost the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final 1-0 at home to Inter.

But after the match the French star’s car was hit with stones and rocks thrown by Ultras in two incidents. Menez was uninjured but was left “shocked and shakenâ€.

Club insiders say Menez will now “almost certainly†leave this summer – a year before his contract expires.


He signed a four-year deal with Roma in 2008 and is expected to cost around £10million should he move.

Earlier this year, Menez said: “My departure is possible. In order to do well I have to feel people have confidence in me and that I’m important for the club.â€
 
Me too- if fit. But I'd worry it would be another Kewell/Joe Cole/ type signing that turned to dogshit as soon as we signed it.

Hope not. Good on his day but can be atrocious

Aguero!

This, in both respects.
 
Liverpool begin talks for £9m-rated French winger

The Liverpool football director Damien Comolli is setting up a plan to sign Dimitri Payet from his former club St Etienne. The 24-year-old French winger is valued at around £9 million, however Comolli has already started negotiations to take him to Anfield with an opening bid of £6.5 million.

TalkSport Radio are reporting that Comolli has used his connections at his former club to negotiate a good deal for Liverpool in order to continue the rebuilding of the Liverpool squad under Kenny Dalglish.

Payet started his career at Nantes in 2005 before moving to St Etienne in 2007. He has played 134 for his current club and scored 20 goals and provided 14 assists in that time.

Liverpool signed Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll in January and are looking for a winger to provide the strikers with plenty of scoring opportunities.

Meanwhile Paris St Germain and Juventus are also thought to be interested in the winger, although the Comolli connection will mean Liverpool have the best chance of signing Payet.
 
So was Marveaux a smokescreen for Payet, or is it the other way round?

If we do go ahead with a move for this guy I hope he's a genuine wide player, because Marveaux doesn't seem to be, whatever else can be said in favour of signing him.
 
KENNY DALGLISH'S Liverpool are lining up a £15m summer move for Blackburn starlet Phil Jones.

Kenny Dalglish and director of football Damien Comolli watched the centre-back face Manchester City on Monday.

The club are searching for a top-class defender to strengthen the Anfield squad and Jones, 19, would provide perfect cover for Jamie Carragher, 33.

Blackburn are desperate to keep hold of the England Under-21 international but are likely to struggle to block a transfer.

If Rovers are relegated, Jones’ £15m asking price could go as low as £10m.

Arsenal have been tracking Jones for a year and would be interested.


But Arsene Wenger also likes Bolton central defender Gary Cahill, 25.

Id be happy enough with this. Cheap enough signing and a different sort of player to Dirk so will give the squad a bit more balance and more options for Kenny. Hopefully we will be ploughing more money into the left hand side of the team.
 
I'm not watching that clip, I bet Crapsen and Kuntchesky have great clips too.

HAS ANYONE WATCHED ST. ETIENNE AND IS HE ANY GOOD?

BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
LIVERPOOL boss Kenny Dalglish is keeping tabs on Blackburn defender Phil Jones.

The former Rovers manager was at Ewood Park on Monday to watch the England Under-21 star turn in an another impressive performance against Manchester City.

But Dalglish is just one of a number of suitors. Scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United were also in the stands. Jones, rated one of the best young talents around, is under contract at Rovers until 2016.

KENNY DALGLISH is poised to go head to head with Sir Alex Ferguson as the battle to sign Blackburn centre-back Phil Jones intensifies.

Liverpool’s caretaker-boss Dalglish was at Ewood Park on Monday and saw £15million-rated Jones impress despite the 1-0 defeat by Manchester City.

Jones, 19, has emerged as one of the hottest properties in English football and has been likened to England and Chelsea captain John Terry by former Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce.

Arsenal had a firm bid of £9 million rejected last summer and Blackburn’s hopes of hanging on to him will be diminished if they are relegated.

Manchester United manager Ferguson made initial enquiries at the end of last season about the defender, who signed a new contract in February which runs until 2016, with a view to following up his interest this summer.

Liverpool’s need for defensive reinforcements is growing, with Daniel Agger’s recurring injury problems a concern and with Sotirios Kyrgiakos likely to leave.

Dalglish has also checked on Bolton’s Gary Cahill and Paris St Germain’s Mamadou Sakho, but left Blackburn after 80 minutes encouraged by Jones’ display.
 
Reds tracking Barton
Midfielder still to resolve Newcastle future

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Joey Barton's contract situation at Newcastle, skysports.com understands.

Barton's future at Newcastle has been the subject of speculation with the midfielder yet to agree a new deal at St James' Park.

The news has alerted a number of clubs to Barton's possible availability with both Aston Villa and West Ham credited with an interest in the former Manchester City man in the January transfer window.

Now Liverpool are believed to be tracking Barton following his superb season for Newcastle this term.

With Barton entering the final 12 months of his contract at Newcastle this summer, the midfielder would be an attractive proposition for Liverpool as he could be available for a cut-price fee.

The 28-year-old has been Newcastle's standout performer this season on their return to the Premier League and he is widely expected to scoop the club's Player of the Season award.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is thought to be drawing up his list of transfer targets and Barton could figure on it due to his success in linking up with Reds striker Andy Carroll while the pair were together at Newcastle.

Barton was the provider of eight of Carroll's goals at Newcastle this season prior to his move to Anfield in January and Dalglish could look to reunite the pair as he tries to get the best out of his £35million signing next season.

Barton has excelled in his right-side midfield role this season and he could be the answer to Liverpool's problematic right-wing position by adding some creativity to the midfield.
 
LIVERPOOL boss Kenny Dalglish is poised to bring experienced and under-rated striker Robbie Keane back to Anfield

Colleagues of Damian Commoli were seen discussing and impressed by the veteran strikers movement and statistics against Chelsea last weekend, hoping that Keane will provide experienced, goalscoring back-up to Carroll and Suarez.

Keane is believed to be eager to make right his time under Rafael Benitez, by getting his final chance to play at the highest levels in the Premiership.

Keane, 30, has emerged as one of the most underrated properties after two underpar seasons in English football and has been likened to a Teddy Sherringham , Michael Owen type signing for the reds, with his experience scoring goals, certain to benefit Liverpool's youth.

The signing may inflame Liverpool fans, especially Irish accountants who started Fan message boards, given his performances under Benitez, and his past history having a pint three days before Ireland games

Localny, why do you bring such shitful rumours to me, on this, the day of my daughter's wedding?
 
Barton is a nasty piece of work and I wouldn't mind having him in the team. Having a very good season too.
