Thats why i think he will be a good un!
Rafa brought some shi'te defenders to LFC early in his career.That could be put down to ignorance due to lack of understanding of the English game and limited funds!

Now that he knows the score,hes splashed out decent money on Agger and Skrtel and both hit the ground running and are worthy of the shirt.
Thats made me confident he knows that Dossena has what it takes!

Oh when i say hit the ground running,i dont mean Skrtels nightmare debut against Havent and Waterloovile!
Ffs i thought we had another Pelligrino or Josemi!
Hes done good since though!

Andrea Dossena flies in to sign £7m Liverpool deal
Jun 4 2008 by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo

ANDREA DOSSENA was today undergoing a medical ahead of his expected £7m move to Liverpool.

The Italian left back is due to get married this weekend but such is his desire to sign for the Reds he has taken time out from his wedding preparations to fly to Merseyside to undergo his medical.

A fee in the region of £7m has been agreed with Udinese and terms have also been agreed with the player who was revealed as Rafa Benitez's number one target for the left back position in the ECHO last month.

The deal to sign him was held up by Udinese's initial demands with the Serie A club seeking up to £8m for the 26-year-old but a compromise has now been reached and, barring any last minute hitches, Dossena will become Liverpool's second signing of the summer following the arrival of Swiss right back Philipp Degen.

Dossena's agent Federico Pastorello admitted: "Everything is confirmed and we have already exchanged all the documents via fax. The deal is practically done."

Although Dossena has not made the Italian national squad for the forthcoming European Championships in Austria and Switzerland, he is considered one of the most improved players in Italy over the last 12 months and his impressive displays for Udinese led to him being awarded his first full cap in a friendly against South Africa last season.

His form alerted Benitez, who had made the recruitment of a top class left back one of his priorities for this summer.

With the out of favour John Arne Riise having been told he has no future at Anfield, the Reds boss is hopeful of recouping the majority of his outlay on Dossena by selling the Norwegian defender – with AS Roma and Newcastle leading the chase for his services.

Dossena only recently signed a new four and a half year deal with Udinese but that has not stopped Liverpool from coming to an agreement with his club and Benitez will be delighted that another piece of his summer rebuilding programme now looks set to fall into place.

This guy will be a good signing, believe me.

A couple of his goals by the way.

They guy looks like he has plenty of pace and making attacking runs like that will make him popular, as long as he doesnt leave great big gaps in defence but then again surely thats what two defensive midfielders are for.

[Aussie Style]

Yeah I must confess I had never heard of the bloke until he got thrown into the speculation, however I have full confidence in Rafa and I'm sure he will only bring in players that will improve us as a team

[taff]

Looks tough as well

Him and Skrtel in the team and Piers Morgan will make a documentary about us

  You posted the same goal clip twice.  Trying to build the lad up a bit too much, methinks, mate?

calm down lad, when i used to play that game a few years back, Antony Le Tallac was worth over £30m for me.

i agree they have a very good extensive database but its just a game at the end of the day. im sure rafa's scouts are just as good as the ones that compile the football manager databases.
