Nice weather we're having for the time of year.

NEWS STORY EXCLUSIVE: RAFA ON GLEN JOHNSON Jimmy Rice 26 June 2009 Rafa Benitez took five minutes to chat to Liverpoolfc.tv about his first major acquisition ahead of the 2009-10 season. Why did you decide to bring Glen Johnson to the club? We were thinking about bringing in players with quality - that's the first thing. He is also English and that is important for the Champions League list. We were thinking about improving the team and Johnson is a very good player who will do that. What will he give us? He was important at Chelsea and in the last year at Portsmouth he has improved and is much better. One of the main things is his mentality - it's really good. He is a winner. I was impressed with the conversations I had with him. He wants to improve. Does he represent value for money? We knew the market was going to be difficult this summer and some of it has been crazy. Manchester City and Chelsea were there - they were making offers. We had to be quick and the club acted quickly. It was down to the player whether he chose us or City or Chelsea and he chose us. It was very clear from talking to him that he wanted to play for Liverpool. What does this mean for Alvaro Arbeloa? Arbeloa was a good player for us last year. The thing is, he has one year left on his contract. We have offered him an extension and we're talking. He is our player but if there is a good offer we have to consider it. We have two or three clubs asking about him. He would like to stay but he knows the competition will be hard. Can fans expect any more signings? We are working and trying to bring new players in but we are happy with the squad we have at the moment. We were thinking about improving and with Johnson we have improved. Like I have already said, we could buy one more player without selling anyone. We now have to wait.

Not bothered really. Freak.

Because there is no one in our league who can lace his boots.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-f...00252-23949351/ LIVERPOOL boss Rafa Benitez admitted today that his £17m capture of Glen Johnson was more than he wanted to spend on a full-back. But he also revealed that the huge outlay does not signal the end of his summer spending. With Chelsea also willing to pay Portsmouth’s asking price for the England defender, Benitez admitted: “Sometimes you have to spend a little bit more. “You can’t compete in the top four of the Premier League unless you spend some money. “We were looking for a player of quality and also somebody who is British because of the new Champions League rules. “Glen Johnson fits both categories.” The player has agreed a deal with the Reds and is expected to formally put pen to paper in the next 48 hours. And he may not be the last new face at Anfield this summer. “We have a plan,” added Benitez. “We can sign one more player if necessary, but that’s without any players leaving.” Benitez is bracing himself for a bid from Real Madrid for Alvaro Arbeloa. but he is also concerned by the increasing speculation surrounding midfielders Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano. The Reds boss has made it clear that he would not welcome bids for either player, but while Real have publicly stated their interest in Alonso has ended, Barcelona are refusing to give up on Mascherano despite Benitez’s very firm hands-off warning. First to leave, however, could be Arbeloa. “Alvaro Arbeloa has had a very good season but he has one year left on his contract,” said the Reds boss. “If he signs that will be good because we will have more competition, but if we get a good offer we will have to consider it.” Benitez is also hoping that on-loan players Sebastien Leto and Andriy Voronin could bring in more transfer funds, while a return to Italy for Andrea Dossena is also on the cards.

Apparently so.

slightly twisted by sky to suit their agenda. amazing what you can achieve by missing out certain words. nicked from RAWK yesterday: Xabi was interviewed after the match by a Spanish radio and was asked a series of questions regarding the NT etc and the very last question was: "Xabi would you be disappointed if you're still at Liverpool next season?" to which he replied with a timid laugh and said " I can't, I can't answer that question for you -(pause)-but nah, nah, not at all" then the interviewer said "You just did (laughs) but i won't press you on it" and Xabi just said "Very well" and it ended with the mandatory 'take care, see you later' exchange.

However, the 13-time capped Spain international insists he is only focussed on helping the Reds win their first English championship since 1990. "My future is here, with Liverpool," Reina told Setanta. "Obviously, transfer speculations are part of the game, especially at this period of the year, but I am not after a move to Spain, as my dream is to win the league with this football club." The Madrid-born 'keeper also stated that he does not have a clue whether manager Rafa Benitez is planning to bring any big name signings to Anfield this summer. "Do we need to strengthen our squad? It is not up to the players, but to the coach," Reina continued. "Rafa Benitez is a top manager and he perfectly knows his squad. As far as the squad is concerned, we have no idea if he plans to make signings or not." Goal.com, apparently.
