Anyone else nearly fall off their chair reading the Star yesterday, saying Rafa is looking at Fore$kin???
Yeah seroisuly thats alod of shite, i would loose all respect i have left for Rafa at this stage if he were to build from this season with a proven flop
yeh i hope we dont sign him because the fee would be high i think. and hes already failed in the PL. although he may have gained some experince in La Liga.
I very much doubt Rafa's after Forlan. I reckon there were Liverpool officials spotted in Madrid with Athletico's people. And the press have tried to put 2 and 2 together and have come to the conclusion that Liverpool are after Forlan. Forlan said yesterday that any transfer speculation regerding him is rubbish made up by the press
If we are talkin to Atleti why not try bring Maxi Rod in! And no mate i wont go away im not going to change my thoughts on someone because we have hit a run of form since march. Until we are consistant getting points off teams we should hammer 4 or 5 nil and he spends his funds more wisley i will reserve my final judgement. I firmly belive he can win us the league but some of his actions and desisions over the last couple of years have dropped my opinion of him. Still love the man for making us a real force again. I hear shit bout him from my non liverpool mates all day everyday and am blue in the face defending him and would never say a bad word bout him to them, but this is a board for liverpool fans to voice there opinions and that is mine and only say it infront of other reds. Plain and simple,my opinion is the only reason we are still in the race is cos of Rafa, same as the only reason we probly wont win the league this year is because of Rafa.
I'd presume its Aguero they'd be talking about. He'd be the man we need to partner The Mighty Mighty Fernando up front. If I could choose anyone, it be him

Could the scouts have been there to watch Aguero?
Aguero and Torres cant play together in the season they had partnering each other Torres had 15 goals from 40 games and Kun had 7 goals in 42 apps, the folloiwing year without Torres Aguero scored 28 times in 48 games with 9 assists.
I don't honestly believe this one is any where near true. At least I hope not. He's 29, and there are a lot better players to spend 15m on.
yeah I know I remember. It takes time for these things to happen. Kun has 2 years more experience now. They're both clever players and would without a doubt be lethel together
Was that year with Torres Aguero's first year in the first team, if so its only natural that a player develops as he gets older and not specifically because he didn't click with Torres. From watching a bit of spanish football this year i have to say that he's one of the highlights for me, unfortunately the fee for him would be in the Man City bracket! As for Diego Forlan i don't know what to think, his agent claims there is a massive bid in from and english club (could he say that if it wasn't true or can agents do as they please). Personally i think he would be a massive flop again but Riera has been very impressive at times this season after a terrible stint at city a few years back.
Yeah a good record but in La Liga he has proven he cant hack the prem. He had a goal every 2 games when Utd bought him. Kezman was the most prolific thing the Dutch league had ever seen and look what happened there! Anyway i f$%kin hate him he scored 2 against us at anfeild and i was there that day to hear those scum fans singin there shit diego chant
Aguero would be about 25M I reckon. They might take Lucas or Babel as part of a deal. Aguero's a big Liverpool fan and he wanted to sign with us before but Rafa wouldnt sign him because they wanted 18 million for him and he was still only at youth level. Rafa said its harder for youths to break through in EPL so I can see his point. Thats why he ended up at Athletico because they paid the 18 for him. He's been left in the stands for a good part of this season and it't no secret he's looking at leaving in the Summer. Torres advised him recently that its time he got himself to a bigger club. So far as I know they're still great friends http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/88/s...o-will-have-to-leave-atletico-madrid-some-day
Lads realisitcally I don't think we're going to be signing Aguero, Tevez or any other world class striker. We have a proven winning formula in Nando up front with Stevie G behind him, why try and mess with that?. In my mind what I think Rafa will try and do is have a striker in reserve who if neccessary can come off the bench and be effective, or play where Nando plays if he's injured. Forlan is 29 now and might just be happy to fill a role like that. A 22 year old hot striker like Aguero or Bojan or any other names mentioned aren't going to want to sit on our bench ... that's why I think we're being linked with older more experienced strikers, maybe I'm wrong but it makes sense if you think about it.
Lads I think the thing you are missing talking about signing another player in the 'Torres' league is that Rafa has that 4-4-1-1 locked in and he will absolutely not go back to 4-4-2 to accomodate a second striker as he showed with Keane its fit in or fcuk off. Its Gerrard behind Torres and that isnt going to be messed with We are not going to be able to get a top tier striker to sit on the bench waiting for Torres to get injured or needs to be rested. Forlan has been prolific in Spain, has learnt and would be solid back up to Torres and is at the age second fiddle may be acceptable at a top side. So he failed at the Mancs that doesnt mean he would fail with us we play a totally different type of game to them. Remember Torres was anything but prolific in Spain and look at him now.
Thats not what happened, Aguero was told he would be going to us, was telling all his mates about it before Istanbul and actually had a party when we won, we win CL Rafa tries to get the deal sorted but that f***** Idiot puts a block on it saying it was to much for a teenager siting that we had already paid £14m for a striker(Cisse) previous summer, we ended up buying Crouch instead.That saying Aguero might not have adjusted to the premier league.
