simoa more realistic target that we can get.

[Ace Ventura]

it ;looks more likea formality that joaquin will be a red either in jan if betis are out of the cl or in the summer

Why is that then ?

[BringBackTiti]

Id love us to sign Joaquin but I cant see us spending that kind of money on one player, If we have got 20 million to spend id rather us get a centre back(Gallas,Upson,Meira) and a right winger maybe if we offered 12 and Kewell or Morientes and see if Betis fancy that.

We should offer Kewell cos I'm sure he'd go for the mediteranian lifestyle cos it's not like he's in it for the football these days

Joaquin, Defoe and another centre half, and we're looking at a championship winning side. In the words of Rafa; "For Sure".

news of another target


Deportivo La Coruna president Augusto Cesar Lendoiro has confirmed that several English clubs are continuing to track Jorge Andrade.

The Depor supremo responded to speculation linking Chelsea and Liverpool with a January bid for the Portugal international by telling skysports.com that he is not surprised by the level of interest in the defender.

Although the player is under contract until 2009, and has a massive €24 million (£16.46 million) buy-out clause, several clubs have Andrade on their wanted lists.

"I have received propositions for the player for many months but sincerely the money reflecting his real value has not arrived," Lendoiro informed skysports.com.

"The great clubs from England and Europe are open to negotiate.

"Now everybody knows our demands."

Andrade is with Portugal ahead of their final World Cup qualifier with Latvia and wants to focus on the international clash.

"I insist I am very happy in La Coruna," he affirmed. "But the decision belongs to the club.

"To play for a great European team would be beautiful.

"Chelsea? I know Jose Mourinho but I do not have any more news."

Deportivo are rumoured to be keen to raise funds to buy a new striker during the winter transfer window.

I think he would be a great buy, but 16 million sounds far to dear for me there not even in the champions leaggue i think they would except about 6-7 million.

Coz they need the money, but I don't think it's that wise to spend all that on a player, simao for 10-12m and a cb 6-8m

[mighty mo]

it is in the sunday mirror today that he has spurned chelsea and madrid and has set his heart on a move to liverpool in either january or the summer

You're not wrong there mate.

Jorge Andrade is an AWESOME player.

We have 2 problems though, 1) Mourinho wants to buy him and 2) He would possibly be too expensive for us.

Andrade is definitely one of the best defenders out there.

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague - a close associate of Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez - believes Real Betis winger Joaquin is not a target despite ongoing speculation linking the Reds with the player.

Balague believes Rafa is instead targeting an Ajax player, possibly 23-year-old midfield ace Steven Pienaar who will be out of contract in the summer unless he signs a new deal before then. Contract negotiations between the player and Ajax collapsed recently because the player was unhappy with the financial terms on offer. The player also complained that he doesn't like to be deployed as winger, preferring instead to play in the centre of midfield.

Talking about Rafa's possible transfer intentions, Balague said: "Rafa Benitez is telling the truth when he says he is not interested in Joaquin. His position is not a smokescreen, like it was in the case of Michael Owen. Joaquin is not the sort of player he wants for his team structure.

"But the situation with Vicente is different - he defends better, works harder for the team and has got a better tactical understanding of the game - but he won't be allowed to leave Valencia.

Balague said"Keep an eye on players whose contracts are running out at the end of the season - at Ajax, for instance."

Dont know St but Ajax are struggling a bit at the moment, the Vincente comment is interesting though, ecspecially coming from Rafa's mate.

[welsh wizzard]

piennar he is not happy on the right wants to play in middle, that makes sense lets go and sign him.
