I was reading AS.com (with help(?) from babelfish) and it said that victor remains hopefuly of coming to anfield in the summer.

very strange ...

especially since gerrard was moved out wide ,teams take a look and think 1)stop alonso 2)isolate gerrard and thats it .

can't f***ing stand him ,what he wrote about rafa in particualr last year was a disgrace ,he refused to give him any credit ,and backed against liverpool at every single stage we progressed in europe and then he got stunned big time .

when spurs played us they made comments about alonso as well as being the player to keep a tabs on ,seems its a common theme .

http://news.independent.co.uk/business/new...ticle353584.ece Spaniard seeks Anfield stake Liverpool chairman in talks with ex-Telefonica chief By Abigail Townsend Published: 26 March 2006 Liverpool could become the latest football club to succumb to foreign ownership if talks between chairman David Moores and the flamboyant former president of Spanish telecoms giant Telefonica come off. Juan Villalonga, who quit the owner of Arsenal sponsor O2 in 2000, is understood to be seeking a substantial stake in the Premier League club. According to reports in Spain, he is being advised by Rothschild and PricewaterhouseCoopers. He is understood to want to increase the value of the club, modernise management and improve its domestic and global focus. Liverpool, which is managed by the Spaniard Rafael Benitez, is controlled by Littlewoods heir Mr Moores. The club is keen to bring in fresh investment, and chief executive Rick Parry has been in talks with a number of parties recently, including the Thai prime minister and US billionaire Robert Kraft. However, it is understood that the talks collapsed because Mr Moores was only interested in selling a small stake in the club. Construction millionaire Steve Morgan recently made several acrimonious but unsuccessful attempts to oust Mr Moores. A Liverpool spokesman declined to comment on the latest set of talks. During Mr Villalonga's tenure as head of Telefonica, he turned the former monopoly into one of Spain's biggest and most successful multinationals, buying up a number of overseas operators and holding merger discussions with Dutch group KPN Telecom and BT, though neither came to fruition. But his controversial methods also meant he had a number of detractors. He was criticised for plans to reward executives with millions of share options, and some have claimed that the talks with BT fell apart because he insisted on running any combined company. He left Telefonica, which bought O2 last year, with a £14m payoff. His personal life has been equally eventful, and in 1999 he left his wife and their three teenage children for a former Mexican beauty queen.

certainly likes playing in derbies.

please make it stop ,this is the times view of the match Player ratings: Liverpool: Reina 7, Finnan 7, Hyypia 7, Carragher 8, Riise 6, Gerrard 4, Alonso 6, Sissoko 7, Luis Garcia 7, Kewell 8 (Warnock 87min, 6), Crouch 7 (Morientes 90min, 6) yes that is alonso with 6

apparently some of the papers will have a story about Torres to spurs . Funny that ,migth explain why they are so desperate to get rid for defoe ,someone should tell them they are stuck with him becos maybe liverpool are going for torres themselves.

won't it be all the defoe stuff?

I love xabi alonso

that ref is a just f***ing awful its untrue , but then we all know that ,its liverpool playing against 12 today and we will need all the luck we can get for the second half.

"Even simple things, like touching the 'This is Anfield' sign before walking on to the pitch are important because you need to keep the traditions alive" nice to see.

he looked like he had wondered into the wrong place and just had to join in and

they are calling arteta the 'spanish wizard' on one of their forums ....

so we're still interested in alves then ,thought he was a dead cert to go to barca but maybe not.....

the match commentators on five live were unintentionally funny ,they said in all seriousness that liverpool fans were being particularly cruel to steve bruce and rubbing it in (like jolly bad sports)and then all you heard in the background was chants about steve bruce having a fat head ,pissed meself laughing at that for ages ,well done.

any educated guesses on whether if anything happens it will be investment ,takeover, stadium ? I heard a takeover but that sounds a scary prospect surely that can't be it ?

I hope chelsea win the premiership ......(can't believe I just said that)

we want to sell cisse in the summer for the best price possible regardless of whether we get investment ,so telling everyone we are loaded and then trying to sell cisse isn't the best tactic ever ,tell them we are skint (could be true)we need to sell to buy and we get more money hopefully...

every player that scores liverpool get linked too .

yep as soon as hamman stepped up I remember thinking 'he can't miss he's bloody german'
