the reference to gonzales as being part of the deal is new however.

no journalist name attached to the article

more from the mirror today: REAL ZARAGOZA defender Gaby Milito has pleaded for the chance to join Liverpool after they lined up a £10million player-plus-cash deal involving Mark Gonzalez. Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is hoping to make it third time lucky after two previous bids for Argentine centre-half Milito were rejected. Milito said: "This is my opportunity to join a big club in Europe. Liverpool have a Spanish coach, which is very important for me."

Agreed... don't think Reina would be happy with this signing, and I don't think Chelsea would sell to us. Good player, has underachived and is massively injury prone. Most of all is a <lots of expletives >!!!

Has anyone seen the article on Bolo in the Mirror. Maddock mentions the following: Samuel Eto'o, Deco, Raul, Daniel Alves and Arjen Robben are all on Liverpool's wanted list, while Feyenoord and Ajax are interested in taking Zenden home to Holland. No mention of Bent or Tevez. Isn't his track record good when it comes to 'possibilities'. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/tm_...-name_page.html

Morientes was quite a bit older when he came to the premiership (Villa is 25 and just about to reach his prime), but most importantly Villa has the one ingredient Moro didn't have which is pace, and bundles of it. He has the attitude and the ability, but do we have the reserves to outbid Chelsea - although their focus may change if there is a change of manager?

To replace whom? Carra? Not a chance! Agger? No bloody way. Have you seen how much he has learned and improved in a single season. Sami? Great backup option to have and I for one would like to see him end his career at Anfield Yes we need a fourth option to allow us to rest players... would terry be happy as fourth choice

Last season's league form had alot to do with the fact the midfield had a very settled look about it with Gerrard and Kewell out wide, and Mo and Alonso in the centre.

I'd like to see Stevie supporting Crouch on Tuesday as we did against Arsenal. Pity Aurelio got injured with the kind of form he was in. Put Pennant on the right to supply some crosses and create width. I really hope Finnan is back for this game. LB and LM are issues. Riise has a good record of scoring against Chelsea from LM so I'd go with him there, but who to play at left back... Arbeloa?

Great reply. Kewell at his peak is a 20 million pound player. He has rarely hit that peak for us. His best years are potentially still in front of him if injuries haven't taken their toll. He is at the very least a wonderful option for next season. I have a feeling Harry will do for us what a rejuvenated Scholes has done for United this season.

oh man, Phil Babb... whatever happened to the British Transfer Record Signing who can now sing as high as a choir boy?

Be interesting to know how Parry's role has changed now that he's supposed to look after the football side of things... is this player xfer negotiations, budgetary discussions? Surely this is a demotion from his previous role, and it is just a matter of time before he gets a golden handshake.

We badly need pace in the attacking third!

Awful performance... hate to say it but we will never win the league with this kind of negative performance. Kuyt has been found out and doesn't have an answer.

my six year old son would be gutted if Riise left... because of the spectacular goals he thinks he's the best player in the team

I really hope the lad is ok. Unfortunate injury as he was really coming into his own. His last few performances have been fantastic.

sign Ribery, Alves and Tevez best suggestion in ages

Maddock in the mirror has mentioned Bent on a number of occassions lately.

Doesn't anyone else agree that we also need to add another top centre back? Carra and Agger are very much the preferred pairing. Sami plays less and less. Paletta isn't ready and needs to go out on loan (in the championship or premiership). There has been some mention of Ben Haim.

Bellamy has been a disappointment... a huge disappointment. His behaviour has been attrocious, but we have to be thankful to his goal in Spain. Bye bye Craig, good luck at villa.

oh yeah hk will accept pay per play... he has 2 years left on a 60k per week deal!

He's already turned them down twice... if the new owners don't say the right things, Rafa will be off, and Alonso will follow shortly behind. He needs to be given alot of cash to get it right this time. Just look at the Alves saga and how much more he is now worth!

Chelsea were piss poor last night.. the mestalla is a pretty intimidating place. I'm glad we avoided Valencia. With Villa's pace they can play on the counter. Morientes might repeat what he did back in 2004 and put Chelsea out

hi Matty, who is bb?

How about Ryan Babel? He's young, technically gifted, extremely fast, with a good eye for goal. Aresenal are in for him (the press will be looking to add him to the long list of products of the Arsenal academy that never actually went through their academy), so he should be in our price bracket.
