we're signing agger next week

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Rafa’s still looking for other players that will become key over the next couple of years, and one position he’s desperate to get cover for is central defence. Liverpool had agreed a deal with Spartak Moscow to sign Nemanja Vidic, matching a minimum-fee release clause. However Vidic was eventually sold for more than this amount – to the surprise of Fiorentina who had also matched this amount.  Rafa Benitez had been unable to promise Vidic that he’d start every game, and the player chose Manchester United. Other issues had the manager concerned about the attitude of the player, and so Liverpool backed out.

 

This isn’t to say that Rafa’s plans have been dashed again. He’s also got a deal in place to bring Brondy’s Daniel Agger to Anfield, and apart from a few minor issues that deal is expected to go ahead next week. Links with Deportivo La Coruna’s Cesar and Fabricio Collocini have also been mentioned, but not as firmly as that for Agger.

 

anyone know how reliable they are?

reliable enough to go in the rumours thread?
