The 28-year old Spaniard has been linked with a move to Anfield since the summer and his latest comments will no doubt heighten the speculation.
 
"Liverpool could be a great option for January," says Morientes. "I have always liked the Premier League and I know Rafa Benitez was interested in me when he was at Valencia.
 
"My situation at Real Madrid is not pleasant. The return to form of Owen can be excellent for Real, but it is also a new problem for me.
 
"If things continue like this I will have to think about leaving. I am tired of sitting on the bench.
 
"Liverpool is a club where any player would be happy to play. It is a club with a history of having great supporters, a good coach and now Spanish players."
 
It's no secret that Rafael Benitez was keen to sign Morientes as part of the deal that took Michael Owen to the Bernebau in August.
 
But the Reds boss has refused to be drawn on the subject other than saying: "When a player of the quality of Morientes talks about your club, then that has to be good.
 
"I really can't say any more than the fact that Fernando is a very good player... but I guess I know what the headlines will be!"

Hopefully Morientes will sign with us in January.

Considering that there are 20 topics made a day, I didn't get a chance to see that thread. Thanks for pointing it out though.
