Knowing Rafa (which i do not) but judging by his past deals in the transfer market, No we did not get £30m… How much did he want for Crouch,Arbeloa, Bellamy,Dudek?…. Did he get it? …… why is the deal a “Undisclosed” amount?… lets face it Rafa is week in the transfer market

Lads what ya reckon of signing Santi Cazorla to replace alonso???? Ok he is lightweight but his attacking skills are top class???
Spanish international with a very good games, goals and assists ratio for Villareal?????

therafalution u make me laugh
If only carlsberg done liverpool signings eh!!!!
Poulsen is a waste, not a chance of villa or aguero signing and maybe silva signs which would be nice….

again worrying shouts for this injury iti!

please do not go near him….bring back RICK PARRY if this is what Rafa Im in charge of all means!

reading some of the comments & yes they are opinions…the one shout for me that stands out is mark noble….an absolute gem of a player & having prem experience…is one of the best players outside of the supposed big four Liverpool, Hull, Stoke, & Coach & Horses….& would be a cheaper & more reliable than the rubbish we keep being linked with….& what about spearing maybe give the kid a chance…he cant be any worse than the consistently turkish delight that fucking Pope Rafa has inflicted on us…ooops apols I mean Raunchy Rick….when are fans going to see beyond this…..

the money of xabi must not be spent or wasted on squad & bench warmers…they must be FIRST 11 ready….none of this shite of being bedded in…the time is now RAFA….if not our 18 league heritage…now hanging from its last breadth….will be consigned to the history books we for so long….happily sung about….?????????????

don hutch has a wonderful cru

you just wonder whether the fact it is confidential and undisclosed means that we backed down a little bit. Either that, or there is Madrid player involved?

Hope not. Use the 30m + whatever we have (and throw in Babel if nec) to get Aguero to Anfield.

Hope he gets such a good reception on Saturday that he won’t want to leave without signing up !! Wishful thinking, but hey, it’s much more fun speculating on who’s coming in than who’s going out

a deal for aquilani now seems to be off, christian poulson will arrive this week for £6 million. freeing up the funds for silva. liverpool will make a £30 million move for aquero, however if a deal isnt done for him or villa, expect a certain mr henry to be wearing red again next season.

I would say that ppl are having a knee jerk reaction to what the likes of Madrid n City are doing.
Firstly there is not alot wrong with the likes of L´pool,Chelsea and Utd.
Clubs like Madrid and City need to spend and need it quick as they have both had a terrible run of trophyless seasons so there is a desperate need.
And in City´s case they need the “here today” type signings but we´ll see where they end up.
So its only natural that they spend but have they signed a world class player…no.but what they have done is buy players that can help them compete.
Whereas Utd,L´pool n Chelsea are 1/2 signings away from going further away from City because they are already estabilished.
So while fans can moan and get itchy feet abt what there clubs are doin i would say look at say
L´pool-Gerrard/Torres/Reina/Kuyt/Johnson/Carra/Agger/Skrtel/Masch(+ now armed with cash from the Alonso sale) 1-2 signings and things wont look that bad.+ youngsters like Nemeth.
Chelsea-Terry/Cech/Lampard/Drogba/Cole-A+J/Essien/Anelka+cash to spend
Arsenal-Cesc/Walcott/Arshavin/Van Persie/Clichy/Sagna/+cash fromthe Kolo + manu sale + youngsters
Man Utd-Rio/Vidic/Evra/Carrick/Rooney/Berba/Owen+cash and youngsters.

Now look at City and ask if whoever they have signed is better than what your team has as a spine and ask whether you are gonna be overly worried by what they are doin.
And if you are worried then do you really trust the manager in charge of your club.If not you must obviously trust Mark Hughes more!

Im sorry but People commenting here actually know anything about Aquilani???
This is his stats in the last 3 seasons:

2006-07 13 league games 22 games in total
2007-08 21 league games 31 games in total
2008-09 14 league games 20 games in total ( All out of a possibe in around 52 games)
U will find that not very impressive and that he is very very injury prone. People please look into players and not follow transfer gossip from tabloids like the sun newspaper etc and all of a sudden think the player reported is this fantasic signing.
Fact – Aquilani is only at most a decent player with a very bad injury record.
