Rafael Benitez has come out saying that he's not interested in the 24 year old Argentine striker even though the player's advisor insisted that the proposal from Liverpool is true.
I don't get it....15MM pounds for a striker whose unproven in the English Premier League...we've seen many of these players fail before....Morientes, Babel....it's not that they are not good...it's basically the fact that these players need at least 2 seasons to adapt to the pace of the English game.
Liverpool has had a really good season...just falling short at the very end...next season COULD BE THE ONE...so we should be signing established strikers in the league who has had a relatively good track record and can support Torres up front instead of blowing good money on another player who has been plying his trade in the Italian Serie A.
There's "some" good news filtering through about Valencia having to sell their star players inorder to clear their massive debts...that means players like David Villa and David Silva.
Now that is where Liverpool should be spending the money on...granted that these two players are untested in the Premier League but at least they are teammates with Torres in the Spanish National Team. Villa and Torres partnership will be a dream linkup for Liverpool and having Silva and Riera flank on the wings will be a "SICK" setup.
If I were Benitez, I'd blow the bank and sell Alonso to fund these two transfers.
I'm already drooling with anticipation.
Consider this potential line up :
GK : Pepe Reina
LB : Fabio Aurelio (need someone better here)
RB : Alvaro Arbeloa (need someone slighty better here but not as urgent as LB)
C : Jamie Carragher, Martin Skertel (Sub : Daniel Agger)
Midfield : Steven Gerard, Javier Macherano
LW : Albert Riera (Sub : Ryan Babel)
RW : David Silva (Sub : Yossi Benayoun)
Striker : Fernando Torres, David Villa (Sub : Dirk Kuyt)
