Rafa frustrated by Valencia row

Rafael Benitez is still locked in a battle to secure money from former club Valencia - four months after he moved to Anfield.

Benitez and Valencia are engaged in a legal battle over bonus payments due for winning two La Liga titles and the Uefa Cup in three seasons at the Mestalla.

Their row prevented Benitez returning to his former club to sign the likes of Mista in the summer as the Spaniards refused to conduct any business with Liverpool.

Benitez confirmed: "In Valencia, they are used to crucifying people who leave of their own accord, it is almost as if you cannot step out of the Mestalla without a bodyguard.

"They just had one of the most glorious periods in the club's history but look at the situation we are in now.

"The legal committee of the football federation have said I have to be paid but Valencia are making a fuss about it to try and reduce the amount of money.

"They are claiming economic, sports and moral damages. Did I harm Valencia in any way by winning it titles?"

They will lose more than the 2 mil the owe RB, Mista is out of contract before Jan window and we can sign him for nothing, whilst they could have got between 2 and 5 mil for him now!!!!!!!

I would imagine rb has mista in dec and seeing the way he conducts transfer business we probably wont know anything about it till the deal is already done.

He would b a great asset especially on a free.

Well it would show us what sort of player Rafa wants if he did come on a free because he could have a few clubs chasing him for the ability
