Diego GodÃn Tony Barrett Should the pruning process be successful, Dalglish will be given the funds to bring in at least one defender with Diego GodÃn, the Atlético Madrid and Uruguay centre back, emerging as a potential target.
Liverpool’s summer spending has come to an end, for the time being, after Kenny Dalglish confirmed that the club’s immediate priority is to offload players rather than recruit them. Having overseen a £40 million recruitment drive that has resulted in Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam and Alexander Doni being signed, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool’s owner, is keen for the club to recoup at least some of the outlay through sales. Dalglish is still in the market for a central defender and a left back, but his pursuit of further reinforcements is only likely to come to fruition once a number of players who have been deemed surplus to requirements have been offloaded. The Liverpool manager is satisfied with the business his club have done so far this summer, but he is aware that the need to trim his squad has become more urgent. “We’re delighted with the work we’ve done,†Dalglish said. “Whether there’s more remains to be seen and depends on players going out.†Liverpool are open to offers for Christian Poulsen, Brad Jones, Philipp Degen, Emiliano Insúa and David Ngog, having already sold Paul Konchesky, the left back, to Leicester City for £1.5 million. Alberto Aquilani and Raul Meireles will also be allowed to leave should Liverpool receive substantial offers, with the Italy midfield player the most likely to depart. Aquilani was lauded by John W. Henry, the club’s principal owner, on Twitter after his positive displays during pre-season, but Liverpool have long since been prepared to sell him. Fiorentina are believed to be ready to offer him a return to Italy. Joe Cole would also be allowed to leave, but Liverpool are discovering that his £110,000-a-week contract is proving a deterrent to interested clubs. As a result, they are focusing on revitalising Cole’s career when they would have preferred to offload him.

Seen Him play for Uruguay a couple of times. Wonder what kind of money he will cost.He is a decent player in the air.
Alberto Aquilani and Raul Meireles will also be allowed to leave should Liverpool receive substantial offers Disappointed if we sold both , I'd like to keep both Must mean 1 of them ?
He's not with them that long only a year.We'd be doing well to get him good player also he's in the Uruguay squad at the Copa so if he did sign him we won't have him until the same time as Suarez.Good player though.
From what I can read he has averaged Just 28 games a season in the last 4 years in Spain Injury prone ?
I'm not convinced that any of them know about our dealings, Godin has just signed for Atletico and they're trying hard to get him a European passport.
Don't think so think the only person Uruguay are missing for the tonight match is Perez whom got sent off against Argentina.
Yeah i'd say he's just not fit enough to start. Would walk into that team otherwise, especially with Coates starting. Scotti is the only other defender they have on the bench. Would be a great signing but don't think its realistic. Only after playing 1 season with Athletico.
Seemingly Godin has laid his cards on the table with Athletico by saying he'd love to make the step up.Only problem is he's talking about Chelski.Still the player has made sounds he wants to leave so why not us? Article Below from jun 9th. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...er-diego-godin-targets-chelsea-chance?cc=5739 This could get interesting.
Wasnt he linked with them last Jan or last summer too, when they appartently had a 50 mill bid turned down for both him and Kun..
