Can't see them coming back in Jan cos Xabi should be cup tied. I'd risk selling him for less in the summer, with us as PL winners

Liverpool beat Arsenal to sign 18-year-old France starlet Chris Mavinga from Paris St Germain By Sportsmail Reporter Last updated at 12:32 PM on 07th July 2009 Liverpool have reportedly signed promising France Under 18 international Chris Mavinga. The defender, who had also been watched by Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi, moved to Anfield from Paris Saint-Germain on a three-year deal, according to France Football. The 18-year-old follows in the footsteps of striker David Ngog, who joined Liverpool from PSG for £1.5million last summer. He can play at centre-back or full-back and is seen as one of the country's brightest prospects. Link

We could report them but if either player turns around and says 'I want to go' they'd be no point in keeping them. Barca & Real can try all they want, in the end it will come down to the player(s).

Just saying that they could have got him for £18m, not doubting the boy's quality

Benitez defends Johnson fee By Carl Markham, PA Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has defended his decision to pay over the odds for right-back Glen Johnson, even though he admitted the deal has cost him more than he had hoped. The Portsmouth defender yesterday agreed to move to Anfield and he is expected to formally sign a contract in the next couple of days. Reports suggest the transfer is costing £17million, although much of that will be written off because of money still owed by Pompey after Peter Crouch's move to Fratton Park last summer. Chelsea tried to take their former player back to Stamford Bridge but Benitez was always confident the England international would choose Anfield - even if it was at a premium. "Sometimes you have to spend a little bit more," said the Liverpool boss. "You can't compete in the top four of the Premier League unless you spend some money. "We were looking for a player of quality and also somebody who is British because of the new Champions League rules. "Glen Johnson fits both categories." The fact Benitez has been able to make his first summer signing will help fend off claims the club are in financial trouble. Kop Holdings, the club's parent company, posted a £42.6million loss in the year to August 2008 but concerns over the £350million loan taken out by American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett to buy Liverpool appear to have lessened after reports today suggested a refinancing package had been agreed. Benitez is confident he will make other signings, although he may spend more of his time trying to hang on to the likes of Xabi Alonso, Alvaro Arbeloa and Javier Mascherano who have all been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona. "We have a plan. We can sign one more player if necessary, but that's without any players leaving," he told the Liverpool Echo. "Alvaro Arbeloa has had a very good season but he has one year left on his contract. "If he signs that will be good because we will have more competition, but if we get a good offer we will have to consider it." Benitez is also hoping Sebastien Leto and Andriy Voronin - who both were loaned out last season - will bring in more funds along with left-back Andrea Dossena, who could return to Italy after just one season at Anfield. Leto is on the verge of a move to Panathinaikos after he became impatient waiting for Olympiacos, where he was on loan last season, to make their move. "I think that the possibilities to play at Panathinaikos next season right now are more than 90%," said the Argentinian winger. "I have been waiting for something from Olympiacos all these weeks but they didn't make a move to buy me so far." Link

Jomzajung.com is the same as bestway4you. My mate got a AC Milan from this place, cames with tags and everything. Looked mint.

The Torres bit sounds like b*llacks. So were going to spend £10m cash (plus Crouch money) on a RB but we have to sell Torres because of the credit crunch? I think all the papers are full of crap now, not much happening so they make up more stories than usual

It's there way of covering all bases. Then say can say 'brought to your first on Sky Sports News......'

Sneijder would be an excellent signing

Just can't see him leaving Spain, has said many times that he doesn't want to.

True, he said that many times. I think they'll get Benzema

The can sign 2 top, top players to replace him. Not good for us.

There always seem to get decent money for their crap players

Also said that he wanted to be sure of 1st team football in a World Cup Year.

I think it was around £12m, was agreed at the start of the loan period.
