Torres to get pay hike

It is understood that Torres will be getting a pay hike of £4m. That equates to £800 000 a year, which in turn means he will be earning £89 000 a week now as opposed to £74 000. I think this is well deserved. For a guy to come in and score 30 goals in your debut season if phenomena and he deserves every penny he gets. There...

Juventus confident of signing Alonso

A report today suggests that Juventus are pretty sure they will sign Alonso from Liverpool after Euro 2008. This deal, to me, is sounding like it is pretty much tied up and I think it just remains for the two teams to agree on a fee. It will be a great shame to loose Xabi as I still think he is a great midfielder. But now my only...

Gerrard and Barry combine for England

We possibly got a glimpse of what was to come at Anfield next season when Stevie Gerrard and Gareth Barry combined for England to score the second goal in England’s 2 – 0 win over the USA yesterday. Gerrard was easily the man of the match as he put in yet another commanding performance in midfield and rounded it off by scoring...

Race is on to sign Dossena

The deal to bring Italian, Andrea Dossena to Liverpool may take a bit longer than expected as Fiorentina and Juventus join the chase for the left-back. It seems like Udinese are waiting to receive offers from these other two Italian teams for Dossena and obviously they will take the best offer. I think Liverpool have bid £6m for...

Liam Fontaine for £1m?

In an exclusive report in The Mirror yesterday, it was suggested that Rafa may be targeting 22-year old, Liam Fontaine from Bristol City. Fontaine is a centre-back and I wonder why Rafa would be after him? We have great cover in central defence with Carragher, Hyypia, Agger and Skrtel. We even have Jack Hobbs who can do a great...

‘Torres not for sale’ says Rafa

After suggestions this morning that Chelsea may be planning a bid for Torres, Rafa has come out to quickly quash any speculation and he says that Torres is not for sale. I thought as much. It would have been a huge shock if Liverpool were willing to part ways with Torres after the season he had. The exciting thing is that I believe...

Chelsea to bid £50m for Torres

I almost fell off my chair this morning when I read that Chelsea were planning to make a £50m bid for Fernando Torres. But the report was quick to say that Torres would not even consider a move to Chelsea and he wants to stay at Anfield and become a legend. With the kind of season Fernando had, it is no surprise that everyone...

David Bentley wants to leave Blackburn

David Bentley has been on my wish list for a long time now and news this morning suggests that he has rejected a new deal at Blackburn and he wants to move to a bigger team. I have admired Bentley throughout the season and I feel he could do a great job for us down the right wing. The question now is whether Mark Hughes will allow...

Benitez already conceding defeat

I was reading just now and there was a headline saying: Benitez fires off title warning. I did not know what to make of this headline so I decided to read the article. Basically Rafa is saying that there is no way we can compete for the title because Manure and Chelski continue to spend big money to buy big players and we can not...

What we need to buy this summer

I have been doing my rounds around the various websites and newspapers this morning and it is all the same come this time of the year. Every player is linked with moving to a new team in the summer. There are even suggestions that Gerrard is on his way to Italy so to Torres. I laugh at some of this! These newspapers are out to make...
