Park Life 71 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 "Rafael Benítez, the Liverpool manager, is prepared to break the Merseyside club’s transfer record for a second time in as many years after identifying David Silva, the Valencia and Spain playmaker, as his principal transfer target this summer. Liverpool may be eyeing a first Barclays Premier League title and second European Cup under Benítez this season, but having ended speculation about his future this month by signing a new contract that will keep him at Anfield for another five years, the manager is already planning for next season and he is willing to spend the bulk of his £30 million summer transfer kitty on Silva. With debts that stood at £462 million last November, Valencia have conceded that they may have to sell their best players at the end of the season, including Silva, David Villa, the forward, and Raúl Albiol, the defender, and Benítez hopes to take advantage of his former club’s parlous financial state. Benítez will walk away if Valencia — who asked for a combined fee of about £130 million for Silva and Villa when Manchester City inquired about their availability in January — demand an unrealistic price, but it is feasible that the Liverpool manager could exceed the club-record £20.2 million he paid Atlético Madrid for Fernando Torres, the Spain striker, in July 2007 in order to snare Silva." Silva like to play just behind the striker. Where will Gerrard play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Surely it's about building a squad rather than just having a good XI anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Silva looks class in La Liga, thought he looked a bit weak in the Euro's though. Shirley he's a winger, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
