Misfiring Liverpool set to win the race for Real Madrid forgotten man Ruud van Nistelrooy


Liverpool are ready to take Ruud van Nistelrooy on loan for six months when the January transfer window opens.

The former Manchester United striker, who underwent a successful operation to have his tonsils removed yesterday, is desperate to leave Real Madrid to play regular football and be part of Holland's World Cup squad.

Liverpool are reluctant to sign Van Nistelrooy permanently but manager Rafa Benitez knows he needs someone to play alongside Fernando Torres to rekindle the Reds' season.

However, the Bernabeu hierarchy are determined to off load the 33-year-old on a permanent basis and any switch will rely on Benitez persuading the Spanish giants to let him have the striker on loan.

Van Nistelrooy is fit after a long-term knee injury but with Raul, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Higuain and Karim Benzema ahead of him his chances at the Bernabeu are limited.

Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers have also shown an interest in Van Nistelrooy but the striker is believed to favour a move to Anfield.

So torres ready to play alongside with RVN.. Next time formation will be 4-4-2

This is what i don't quite understand.
MU and Chelsea both have larger debts, yet they seem to seem have more $$$ to buy players

Because, Those 2 clubs you mentioned, let the profit gained went bac to transfer budget and ours are used to repay debt and the yanks expenses when they fly to Liverpool.

We pay their Hotel, flight and other expenses.

And ManU and Chelsea didn't try to reduce their debt, merely maintain if I'm not mistaken while ours, we try to reduce it.

Plus, Chelsea's debt is owed to their own owner and not bank...So, that's an advantage.

Both clubs are also already raking in a looooot more money than we do, esp the Mancs, which give them higher spending power. The stadium for one, we already lose out in tickets due to the smaller numbers of seats and in merchandising of jerseys and goodies all around the world.

RVN surely want to take revenge on SAF for shutting him out of MU.

I wonder if that is true. most probably RVN will be used as substitute. just like Owen. but i'm not Rafa. who knows what Rafa had in mind.

means torres going to be sub with babel and kuyt playing up front with VNS in a 4-3-3

Yes, RVN vs Owen at Old Trafford... And RVN is gonna kiss the camera!

Liverpool: Reina, Skrtel, Agger, Insua, Carragher,Mascherano, Aurelio, Gerrard, Benayoun, Kuyt, Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Torres, Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Darby, Dossena.

wat line up is dis??? omg.. cme on reds!!!

Formation like this?

maybe sols..rafa indeed suprised me at least..i thought torres and aquilini will start..lets go for the win!!
maybe its a 4-4-2 wif benny n aurelio on the wings

I don't think there will be a change of formation. Gerrard reverted back to pair with Mascherano and Benny in the middle of attacking play.

seeing lucas not in 1st 11 is such a relief ..
formation might be 442 ..
kuyt n ngog infront..
aurelio and benni on wings ..
and good to see gerrard and masch in midfield finally..
come on REDS!!! YNWA!!
