Liverpool Flop On Way to £3m Hull City Move?
by Steven Constable on July 20th, 2009 16 commentsMove to the KC Stadium could be best for all concerned.
Who the f**k does Phil Brown talk to on that thing?
The Rumour
Hull City boss Phil Brown wants to sign Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin – after running into problems finding a new forward.
Brown would like to take the powerful Ukrainian on loan with a view to a permanent move following Voronin’s return to Anfield from a similar spell in Germany.
Voronin spent last season at Hertha Berlin after failing to make a big impact in his first season at Anfield, although he did manage six goals in his 13 League appearances.
The Ukrainian star, who is 30 tomorrow, had previously played in Germany for Mainz, Cologne and Bayer Leverkusen before moving to Liverpool Voronin has been told by Reds boss Rafa Benitez that he will get a chance in some games next season, but he wants regular first-team action and could be interested in a move to the Tigers. Benitez could be persuaded to do business if Hull agree to pay a loan fee – and Brown is getting so desperate to sign a striker that he may agree to that arrangement.

The Analysis
Rafa Benitez gave Ukrainian misfit Andriy Voronin a Liverpool lifeline by giving him starting places in the club’s first two pre-season encounters and suggesting that the former Bayer Leverkusen man could still have a future at Anfield.
Now however Hull City boss Phil Brown is sniffing around and if indeed the Tigers put in an offer of a permanent nature then I am pretty sure that the manager would take it with both hands and perhaps it would in the best interests of Voronin himself to become a big fish in a relatively small pond.
However hard the 29 year old tries he will still find it next to impossible to get a good run in the team, mainly because they have proven very capably that they do not need him. It’s very likely that Rafa will look to bring in one more striker in the summer and that would make it even tougher for the ponytailed on to make it back in the starting eleven.
The Likelihood
Voronin to Hull City: Whether its a loan deal or a full transfer I think Liverpool will seek to complete the deal.

“Voronin spent last season at Hertha Berlin after failing to make a big impact in his first season at Anfield, although he did manage six goals in his 13 League appearances.”
So Voronin has a strike ratio of 1 goal every 2 games…
Keep him.
He is more of a goal poacher than a out and out striker. But he is always first to react to a loose ball. And his stats for our club wer better than keanes. Keep him i say, we could do with a poacher

well as far as i see it its best to keep him we need dept in the squad.

anybody hear anything about robiniho for 30m
Ash T - July 20th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
i have heard about the robinho rumours
personaly i dont think it will happen
i have also heard that liverpool are being brought by a sheikh
but we have heard all this before and i doubt it will happen
im in to minds about voronin
i realy want him to go he is not good enough for liverpool
but like dom said voronin as a goal ratio of 1 goal every 2 games which is quite good
he is also a goal poacher and we realy need a player like that

give him till january to prove himself
its not like we are gonna get alot of money for him and he thinks he will be
better this time
DM - July 20th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
i say keep him till january as he can score goals he just needs confidence. if torres gets injured and we need a back-up i think he can fit the bill, pacheco and nemeth not ready and if we buy a striker will they be willing to sit on the bench???

It’s a tricky one this. He does have a good goal to game ratio and he is prepared to play understudy to fernando torres.
Two attributes that will be hard to find anywhere else.
Many youngsters would be willing to play second fiddle but when they get the chance to play they won’t have the experience to make much of an impact.
Players who have a similar goals to game ratio will cost an arm and a leg and won’t be prepared to bench dwell.
I think the most viable option is to hang on to him.
If as he says, he is willing to “prove himself” then lets see what he’s got to prove.
It’s unlikely Torres will be injury free this season as since he has joined us his stock in the nationall team has gone through the roof leading to the long summer he just had for the scond year running. also, undoubtedly he will play for spain this seaon as a regular when it comes to the pointless friendlies and what not. He will play every game for Liverpool that he is fit for and more importantly most defenders have him earmarked for a chop down nowadays so at least one spell out is to be expected.
Pacheco, Ngog and Nemeth can’t replace him in fact nobody can but Voronin is the best option without having to buy in a new striker which in turn would reduce the chances in the coming seasons for the likes of dalle valle.
I think in the interest of the team we should hang onto him.

Dom - July 20th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I have searched the internet, and there are no robinho rumours. I wouldnt trust your source ash
redryan - July 20th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Cheers dom. That’s that cleared up.
Rhinowasp - July 20th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Liverpool should not sell him because he has greatly improved through his time in belin and scored some great goals
