lucas should be at least around 20m, he has talent n he has bright future...

Pavlyuchenko on the other hand is a failure, he failed for totenham, why do we need somebody that already 3rd or 4th choice striker for totenham, he cant even out do robbie keane at totenham, the one that failed 2 impress rafa n been sold back..

ok, but is it worth the risk to get him? he wont come cheap, probably around 20m or more...i definitely more than happy to see nemeth back n playing in the starting eleven..

hahaha..actually i really dont know how much he worth in this modern days football, the money can be crazy sometimes.. i rate him around 20m million because the price almost similar to c.cole which obviously its over priced compare to the player him self...
well if that the case, then its ok, i guess rafa did learn something from robbie keane..anyway, that roman dude probably move out of england, mayb to italy or something that suit his style with milan closely monitor his progress..

does it matter, its not that u guys goin to buy him anyway ..

nice goal, damn, he kept scoring goals, if only rafa gamble more on him instead of ngog

Benitez threatens to quit if Torres is sold

Rafael Benitez will quit as Liverpool boss if star striker Fernando Torres is sold against his will.

The club's well-publicised debts have led to questions about whether owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett would be tempted should a big-money offer come in for the Spain striker.

But Benitez told The Times the 25-year-old would not be sold.

"I'm confident it will never happen," he said. "If it did, I'd resign."

The financial situation at Liverpool means they struggle to compete with their Barclays Premier League big-four rivals in the transfer market.

And Benitez admitted the situation had led him to make some mistakes.

"When we have spent big, normally it's been very good business," he said. "Torres, (Javier) Mascherano, (Pepe) Reina, (Xabi) Alonso.

"(Robbie) Keane is a good player but we had to sell him because he was not playing at the level we knew he could play.

"Ryan (Babel) was signed for the future and we are waiting for his improvement. He has to be more consistent.

"With the fringe players, we needed to take a gamble on Bosmans and one, two million-pound players.

"Some of these players have not been good enough for us.

"It is a risk you have to accept when there is not too much money about."

Benitez defended the signing of midfielder Alberto Aquilani, who was bought for £17million from Roma to replace Alonso after the Spain international joined Real Madrid in the summer, but is only now reaching fitness after injury problems.

"We can only buy one or two big, £20 million players a year," Benitez said. "If we want to have money available then we have to sell some players. We have to sell expensive and buy as cheaply as possible.

"Aquilani fit would be £20-30million. We checked with doctors and they said he would be out one, maybe two months. We have lost some time, but I signed the player for five years, not five weeks."

With Liverpool seventh in the table having lost five league games already this season, many are ruling them out of the title race, while some even feel they will struggle to qualify for the Champions League next term.

"People are worried," Benitez said. "But the team will improve.

"When we have key players on the pitch we are as good as anyone. We have proved this in the past."

after knowing him more than 2 seasons now, i will put my money that torres will never be galactico

well u will never know player this days, offered came 2m/month next thing u know, somebody off to madrid.. ..but torres is different case..

actually i dont mind seeing him playing 4 united, his choice was limited, as a player who r concern about his career sometimes they just hav to take the hardest path 2 save something..

having said that i lost respect of him when he moved to madrid, especially when the time liverpool need him the most...

i think thats not the reason, he managed to scored a lot of goals but somehow he wasnt good enough to break into madrid starting 11..well enough said, bright side, we won champs league after he left..

we in the deep mess right now with all this injuries n bad result, its seem right now we the one the underdog against man city..

juan mata already renew his contract with valencia, his talent worth any money in the world, 2 bad liverpool wasnt quick enough..

report stated that jonhson has returned from Belgrade and ready to play..

for city match. im prefer not to see robinho start or on the bench, with the way we defend right now, robinho could be liverpool worse nightmare..

i think liverpool n arsenal will fight for her signature..

if plan A n B din work, we hav to use plan C

goalllll

game on..

city up the tempo now

wat the fak happen?

time for aquaman to come
