He negs me as soon as it is possible to do so, but I am still green! I must have a big cock or something...

I doubt we are after Lavezzi. Rafa said "we have no intention of doing so" on 09/06/2009.

 

liverpoolfc.tv: RAFA RESPONDS TO LAVEZZI RUMOURS

 

 

Rafa Benitez has dismissed reports Liverpool want to sign Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Speculation linking the Argentine with a move to Anfield has been fuelled by the player's agent over the last few days.

 

Benitez, though, is adamant no deal is in the pipeline.

 

"We never contacted Lavezzi and we have no intention of doing so," he said. "We want to put a stop to these rumours."

Sticking out wide would be totally pointless given that his strength is to come from deep, score the odd goal and buzz around the 18 yard box.

 

So where does that Arshavin fella play for Arsenal then? Yep, out wide, even though he has got the exact same qualities you mention there.

 

Actually it is pretty much the common place for a smallish skillful dribbler these days.

 

I don't think there is much in the Lavezzi rumours though, seeing as Rafa in a rare statement on the offal said we are not interested in him.

He has done that a few times now. Stopping rumours before they even start.

Already on Sly.

 

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso insists he would have 'no regrets' about staying at Anfield, but has refused to rule out a big-money move to Real Madrid.

 

The Spain international, who scored the winning goal for his country in Sunday's Confederations Cup third-placed play-off win over hosts South Africa, has been strongly linked with a £25million switch to the Bernabeu over the past 12 months.

 

Alonso looked set to be sold last summer in order to make room for Gareth Barry, then of Aston Villa, before the deal collapsed and the 27-year-old is understood to have been offended by manager Rafa Benitez's apparent desire to cash in.

 

Benitez maintains that he does not want to part company with the influential former Real Sociedad player, but Real are understood to remain keen to team Alonso with the likes of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo as they form a new era of 'galacticos'.

 

And Alonso is refusing to dismiss any outcome on his future, telling Don Balon: "In respect to all this I have not closed any door and we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Positive

 

"It is always positive when various teams are said to want you because that is better than nobody being interested, but I cannot say much more.

 

"I know that I have to keep playing well and will be able to decide what happens next whenever it arises.

 

"I do not think a move to Real Madrid is impossible, but I would also have no regrets at all staying at Liverpool."

 

Reports on Merseyside claim that Benitez is to hold clear-the-air talks with Alonso this week as the pair attempt to settle their rumoured bust-up.

 

No problem

 

The 61-time Spain cap insists he has no problem working with his current boss, who brought him to England in 2004, but has not expanded upon their association.

 

"My relationship with Benitez is professional, just like he has with any other player. I believe that is how things will stay too," Alonso continued.

 

"I am happy in England and have adapted, but I do miss certain things from Spain. I cannot rule out a move or even staying in the Premier League.

 

"I am happy there (England) and although I was a bit home sick at the start, I am still there.

 

"This situation is normal for me because I know what is actually happening, away from what is being reported. For that reason I am perfectly calm."

Nottingham Forest have wrapped up the permanent signing of Liverpool winger Paul Anderson for £250,000.

Anderson, 20, spent last season on loan at the City Ground and has agreed a three-year contract.

Swansea City were also keen to land Anderson, who was on loan at the Welsh club during the 2007-2008 season, and also had a bid accepted by Liverpool.

Anderson, who missed the early part of the season because of injury, made 28 appearances for the Reds.
