Liverpool not selling their midfield maestro

The rumour linking Xabi Alonso to Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester City has been resurfaced again. This time, Rafa Benitez has squashed reports in the Spanish media that an agreement has been reached with Real Madrid.

"The situation is clear, we do not want to sell our best players and that includes Xabi.

"He had a very good season for us and can be an important player in the future. There is no agreement with Real and we want him to be part of our plans going forward.

"Xabi himself told our club magazine only two weeks ago that he was looking forward to his sixth season as a Liverpool player. Why should he want to leave now?" – Rafa Benitez, Liverpoolfc.tv

Liverpool to swoop in on a £20M transfer target

Today’s most potential transfer rumour that gets likely to materialise this summer is the transfer of David Silva to Liverpool FC.

David Silva has refused to comment on speculation that he will either join Liverpool or Real Madrid this summer.

"I have to be focused first on recovering [from a thigh problem] to be able to help my team and I'm not thinking of anything else,” said Silva, as Valencia prepare to face Athletic Bilbao for a place in the Europa League.

"I don't know anything about the rumours and I insist that I have a contract with Valencia that I wish to fulfil." – David Silva, Setanta Sports.

Silva has been linked with a move to Anfield for the past 18 months now. Certainly, we do need to fine-tune the squad with a player who can linked up the midfield and attack. With Valencia in deep financial crisis, no Champions League football for them next season. The Mestalla outfit will need to sell its prized assets to stay on the business.

A player in the calibre of David Silva wouldn’t want to settled for a second fringed Europa League. To be not involved in the biggest club competition in the world, will most likely to increased his desire to leave La Mestalla.

Will Rafa move in on the £20 million midfielder? Only time will tell, who knows maybe Rafa can picks up a bargain or two from his former employer.

Liverpool unwanted striker leaves Hertha

Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin reportedly ending his loan spell with Hertha Berlin at the end of this season.

Voronin, failed to shine in the Premier league with Liverpool, has found his form back in the Bundesliga, scoring 11 times.

With the football season relatively over in England, Rafa Benitez was hopeful of bolstering his transfer funds with the sales of his overrated players, hitting a snag.

"[The match against Karlsruhe on Saturday] was my last match as a Hertha Berlin player,"

"I want to wish the club and their fans all the best in the future." – Voronin, Die Welt, Setanta Sports

I remember he was once been told that his services would no longer required at Anfield. And Hertha has the option to make his loan deal permanent.

Anyone wants him for free?

Thank you, Sami for the best 10 years

Sami Hyypia, deservedly a Liverpool Football Club’s legend for his professionalism and loyalty to the club, on and off the pitch. Since his arrival from Willem II on one summer 1999, people are saying, “Sami who?” But the towering Finnish centre back were one of the best signing ever made by Gerard Houllier’s French Revolution period.

Why was Sami Hyypia described as a “legend”? He played 463 times for the Reds, scored 35 goals, won 10 pieces of silverware with Liverpool FC and was the pivotal part of the Reds’ defence spanning the last 10 years.

Enough has been said about him. Thank you to Sami Hyypia, for the memories and the greatest moments in Liverpool Football Club. Wishing you all the best with Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool’s loss is Leverkusen’s gain.

Drawn too many games and two defeats

The title race may seems to be over now but the season yet to be closed for the holidays. There are still one final match to be played at Anfield and Liverpool could record its season’s point tally of 86 if they can overcome Spurs this Sunday afternoon. Liverpool can be proud of themselves as they pushed Manchester United till the final two matches for the title decider.

Looking back at the performances by the Reds this term, losing two league matches (one more match to be played) could ends our long awaited league title since 1990 but a certain dipping of form during the January and February has cost Liverpool dearly. The eleven drawn matches which seven of them at home to the likes of Stoke, Fulham, Hull will always be the talking points for the football’s critics. Hopefully, Rafael Benitez has gained a valuable lesson this term and rectified them in the summer.

In the illustrated Premiership’s campaign, teams which have accumulate lesser than six defeats stands the chance to clinch the trophy. The lesser the better but in Liverpool’s case, it was close but no cigar. The Reds scored almost a century of goals, chucked up a greater goal differences, lost fewer matches than the rivals and yet the title went down the M62.

We could always blamed it on the injuries to the key players. If only Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are fit and played together most of the time this season. That’s clearly just an excuse as injuries to the groins and hamstrings are just part of the game which it can not be avoided. Largely, this is due to the depth of the current squad and just look at the luxury United or Chelsea has have at the bench which they can call upon.

Adding new personals in the coming summer could be very crucial for Liverpool to continue to mount the challenge next season. But the sell before buy policy means Rafa need to clear his flops to get his new targets. Whoever Rafa signs next, we can rest assured that he’ll not going to make the same mistakes again.

Two giants slain in a space of four days

While Liverpool very left licking the wounds after the Boro's defeat. The Reds bounced back to produced the most memorable performance in a European night by inflicting a 4-0 defeat of Real Madrid at Anfield. And we reminded Real that "This is Anfield".

With our title credential under fire by the media and pundits. They claimed, Liverpool were moulded as a cup competition team rather than an English club. So the faintest of hope to savage some pride and shut the critics, nothing sooner than a clash with Manchester United in the Premier league, where it's a do-or-die for the team from Merseyside.

The Red Devils were seven points ahead and with a game on hand before the start of the match. But soon after the final whistle, the lead has been cut to four and now Liverpool need to push United to the limits by winning the remaining nine games.

Well, if a season double over the reign champion and Chelsea in a football calendar wasn't enough to earn Liverpool the credits that has been overdued. I don't know what to say anymore? Manchester United were torn apart by the brilliant tactics of Rafa Benitez.
