Good luck to Dossena, never settled defensively, scored a few memorable goals and ran about a lot. Never got a sustained run of games as it appeared Rafa decided he wasn't good enough at LB soon after he signed. No JAR, and amazing he cost £7 million.
From Liverpool Post. Sounds good.
LIVERPOOL were today edging closer to concluding a deal for Maxi Rodriguez – as two of their misfits moved a step nearer to the exit door.
Though there are a number of clubs monitoring the Atletico Madrid winger, including Argentina side Boca Juniors, Liverpool are confident they hold the aces.
Rodriguez is understood to be keen to link up with his close friends Javier Mascherano and Fernando Torres and has also indicated a desire to play in the Premier League.
Discussions are on-going with the Argentina international but the player’s agent, Jurgen Milewksi, has revealed the chances of Rodriguez joining the Reds are “high”.
Provided there are no hitches, the 29-year-old’s arrival could be concluded before the weekend, raising the possibility of his inclusion in the squad to face Tottenham.
But as Rafa Benitez prepares to bring out the welcome mat for Rodriguez, he is on the verge of waving goodbye to Andriy Voronin and Andrea Dossena.
Voronin, who has been absent from Liverpool’s squad since an erratic performance against Lyon on November 4, was due in Russia today for talks with Dinamo Moscow.
