If Carra make a mistake or played a bad game...he is a liability??...

i believe Hyypia will be a mentor to Agger and after one or two year...Hyypia retire and Agger replace him...

I am overjoyed. We have gotten rid of all the cr@ppy players. Murphy, Diao, Henchoz, Cheyrou, Heskey, Diouf. Now Hyypia is taking the fall. That is the end of all Houllier influence. Now this is a Rafa team. And now we are ready to push for the premiership next season.

You putting Hyypia into the same bracket as them players there??

You sir, are a cu*t :nod

RAFA BENITEZ today revealed why Liverpool were prepared to break their club record for a centre half by pursuing Brondby's Daniel Agger.

Benitez has trailed numerous centre-halves since last August, but all roads finally led to the 21-year-old who ticked every box on the Liverpool's manager's checklist.

The Reds originally failed in a bid to sign Agger during the summer and feared Brondby's valuation would price them out of a deal.

Uncertain of Agger's availability, Benitez turned his attention elsewhere and briefly pursued Manchester United's new recruit Nemanja Vidic.

When that interest cooled following talks with the Serbian, Benitez decided his initial instincts were correct.

He turned his attentions back to Agger.

Providing there are no last minute hitches Benitez has backed his imminent recruit to mount an immediate challenge to the bedrocks of Liverpool's defence, Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyypia.

"Daniel is a player we have been following for a long time," revealed Benitez today.

"We first spoke to Brondby about the player when we were in Monaco playing the Super Cup final. At that time, their chairman said he wasn't for sale.

"We scouted Daniel for a long time but then he picked up an injury. When he returned to fitness we watched his first game back and we knew he was at the kind of level we require, even though he played only 25 minutes.

It's just come on SSN that we've agreed a fee for Agger in principal, and with the Echo saying it aswell it seems like the only thing that could stop it is the medical.

Brilliant if it goes through.

Says he's literally having his medical right now. (16.00h)

Well £5.8m sounds like a snip compared to Vidic.

Finally looks as though we have found our third centre back:

Reds agree deal for Agger

Liverpool have agreed a deal with Brondby for Daniel Agger, with the defender on Merseyside to undergo a medical.

The European champions have held a long-term interest in the Denmark international as Rafa Benitez looks to add a centre half to his squad.

Benitez has now advanced that admiration after The Reds agreed a deal in principle with Agger's club Brondby.

It is rumoured that Liverpool will stump up £5.8 million for the defender, who played against England in a friendly at the start of the season.

The finishing touches are being put to the transfer and Benitez outlined how long he has been tracking the 21-year-old.

"Daniel is a player we have been following for a long time," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo.

"We first spoke to Brondby about the player when we were in Monaco playing the Super Cup final. At that time, their chairman said he wasn't for sale.

"We've been told he's one of the best centre halves in Denmark for 20 years. A lot of scouts have spoken highly of him and there has been lots of interest from other clubs.

"People will remember he played particularly well in an international against England earlier this season. We'd already watched and asked about the player before then.

"That match surprised a lot of people, but it confirmed to us he could play at a particularly high level, which is why we've continued to follow him."

Agger has missed Brondby's training camp in Spain to complete his switch to Anfield, with Benitez enthusing over his impending recruit.

"He will be an option for the first team within a short space of time," added Benitez. "First he will need to improve his physical condition, but then he will put both Sami and Carra under pressure for their place. This is an area where we've had no competition until now.

"He can't play in the Champions League, but when you sign a player who's only 21-years-old, he is for the future of the club, not for a competition in which we have a maximum of seven games left."

Liverpool's deal for Agger is likely to disappoint another Premiership club - believed to be Tottenham - who were also chasing the stopper.

Brondby director Per Bjerregaard told TV2: "It is correct that at least two Premier League clubs are interested in Agger.

"But who it is, I don't want to reveal."

And now that this is fixed, lets get that right winger.

Your a bit of an eager beever wanting Hyypia out arent you ?

Yes i am. He is a liability. Pellegrino tried last season, but unfortunately he failed because he was even slower than him. Now Agger will definately replace him. The sooner the better. He is the last piece of Houllier's mess. We will miss him as much as we miss Henchoz i suppose.

I am overjoyed. We have gotten rid of all the cr@ppy players. Murphy, Diao, Henchoz, Cheyrou, Heskey, Diouf. Now Hyypia is taking the fall. That is the end of all Houllier influence. Now this is a Rafa team. And now we are ready to push for the premiership next season.

Banana never fails to amuse me. Do you think he is genuinely trying to be funny or is he just trying to get attention?
