My first choice for the wing position would be sanchez but after that i would take Downing.I think we need 2 wingers so ideally we would sign both.   For me this season Downing has been the best cro

While we are talking about players we look like missing out on theres a couple of deals that I feel we should have been in for.   Demba Ba would have been an excellent 4th choice striker for us, pac

Liverpool and Barcelona set to battle it out for Spanish left back

 

Liverpool have been told £10million will be enough to sign Osasuna defender Nacho Monreal – sparking interest from Barcelona.

 

The 26-year-old extended his contract this season but a stipulated buyout clause means he is likely to leave this summer.

 

The Reds have signalled their interest in Monreal which seems to have kicked Barcelona into action.

 

With Fabio Aurelio struggling with injury, Glen Johnson has been forced to deputise at left-back, and the Anfield club are expected to sign reinforcements in the summer.

 

However, Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola has reportedly said that he wants Monreal at the Nou Camp next season.

Spanish giants Villarreal are chasing Blackpool's Welsh wizard David Vaughan and Liverpool's Brazilian Lucas Leiva in a double swoop on the Premier League.

Villarreal will watch highly-rated Vaughan in action against England today and are keen to open talks with the Seasiders star who is a free agent in the summer.

Vaughan has previous experience in Spain with Real Sociedad and is willing to go back to La Liga - and with the chance of playing in the Champions League as Villarreal close in on the elite competition.

Villarreal are planning to revamp their side next season despite their success in this campaign. Vaughan is firmly in their sights and can clinch the move with a starring show against the Three Lions.

 

Vaughan is also wanted by Steve Bruce's Sunderland among others and seems sure to quit Blackpool for a lucrative deal in the summer. He is one of two new midfielders in Villarreal's sights.

 

Senior spies from Villarreal are also keen on Liverpool's Lucas who has been a major part of the side this season and has played some of his best football under Kenny Dalglish.

 

Lucas would cost around £7 to £8 million - if the Kop was willing to do business or land the players they want in the summer - although that deal would depend on the fee coming within Villarreal's famously tight budget.

 

However Villarreal may stretch themselves for both Vaughan and Lucas if they are guaranteed Champions League football at the end of the season.

Wouldn't a regular brazilian international cost more than this?

I agree with that. He's got to be worth more than that to us.

 

He falls into the Dunga catagory because he's not all tricks and flicks and he's not the match winner then they dont class him as a brazilian internatioal hense £8m tag which is shite he's worth alot more than that and we should hold out for it if were selling

Players like Lucas are needed in all the top sides. He shouldn't be first choice in my opinion, but he's someone you could use when you need to rest players. I think he's improved this season so much that you could trust him to fill in for players when needed.
