But that doesn't answer why Johnson would go.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

why in the world is nobody after kun aguero?

 

hes so good on the ball and always seems to quicken the pace of the game?

 

he goes missing every so often, but so do gerrard and torres.

 

It would be amazing if Rafa pulled him off out of nowhere

[Chocoholic]

Oh, Masch could have have got another yellow there with another ref on another day.

 

Ooops, slightly pissed ere, and the last time I looked, I was on the International games thread.

 

Mea culpa!

LIVERPOOL TO LAND GLEN JOHNSON

 

Rafa Benitez confident of beating Chelsea for full-back

 

06/06/2009

 

LIVERPOOL are confident of beating Chelsea to the signing of £10million Glen Johnson.

 

Kop boss Rafa Benitez will lodge a bid when the Portsmouth full-back (left) returns from international duty with England.

 

Benitez is keen to land Johnson, 25, after suffering a major setback when Villa's Gareth Barry chose Manchester City.

 

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is also interested but Benitez hopes Johnson's previous unhappy spell at Stamford Bridge will influence his decision. Benitez can guarantee Johnson he will be a first-choice next season.

 

Anfield's debt-ridden finances are not a stumbling block as Benitez is still assured of a big transfer kitty and knew the situation when signing a new five-year deal.

If he does sign for us he's a great player with potential, if he doesn't he's shit anyway.

Who to trust more? NOTW or The Star?

 

Citeh will bid £20m for him and offer him £975K a week.

[WaltonRed]

Kyle Naughton, £5m off Sheff Utd.

 

We should go for him instead

[Maldini]

I think the other lad Kyle Walker they have could be even better, he looked a bit special at the end of the season. His energy and determination reminded me of when Gerrard used to play RB.

[PaulMcC]

Not worth over 10m imo.

We can outspend United, claim Liverpool | Liverpool - Times Online

 

We can outspend United, claim Liverpool

 

Despite their recently published levels of debts, the Merseyside club say that only Chelsea have more cash to splash

 

LIVERPOOL have reacted bullishly to claims that they are on the point of financial meltdown by insisting they expect to be able to outspend both Manchester United and Arsenal in the transfer market this summer.

 

A senior Liverpool source told The Sunday Times last night: “We have more spare cash to spend than any club except Chelsea.”

 

......the transfer budget will be a minimum of £20m plus sales this summer and that manager Rafael Benitez “is free to exceed it” if he can “make a convincing case”

 

Liverpool are not subject to some of the financial constraints on transfer dealings that limit Manchester United and Arsenal, who are more indebted to outsiders including banks and institutions.

 

 

¤ Benitez is “an amazing guy who knows he has a healthy transfer budget to augment one of the world’s strongest squads”.
