The People says Crouch and Michael Johnson are heading for a shock £12million swap in a delayed deal that was scheduled for the January window.

England striker Crouch has been cleared for a new link-up with his former national team boss Sven Goran Eriksson at Manchester City.

But Rafa Benitez's dogged determination to land Johnson for Liverpool is driving the deal.

The transfer should have gone through already but was held up by Johnson's injury lay-off after an aborted return from a double hernia operation.

It was a done deal until 19-year-old Johnson broke down after being rushed back from surgery. The midfield prodigy will be out for around another four weeks, putting the switch back to the end of the season. Johnson's heart is set on a move to Anfield, a dream he was in line to realise last summer until Eriksson's arrival as City boss halted Benitez's first attempt to buy him.

Not another fecking central midfielder!!
Has Rafa got some kind of sexual fetish for CM's? For fecks sake Rafa, we NEED strengthening in other areas! Try getting in another decent striker to take the strain off of Torres, if you have to buy any midfielders try getting some decent wingers in but give the CM's a rest hey, we've got 'em comin out of our ears.
Think I read somewhere on hear the other week we've got 60 odd people on our playing staff ( ) I bet 30 of them are CM's!!

Liverpool have joined the race for Werder Bremen midfielder Diego.
The Brazil international has emerged as one of the hottest transfer properties on the continent, with Juventus and Real Madrid regarded as frontrunners.

However, Corriere dello Sport says Juve chiefs are now concerned about their chances of winning Diego's signature after Liverpool made contact in the last week.


No criticism of where the rumour comes from, no doubting the veracity of it, its the best rumour we have had for a while and I believe it implicitly.

especially that we were talking about him all month.

Maybe one of the newkitters on here wrote that rumor

A swop rumour between Alonso and Aguero might be a good one to start with. Then a Kuyt swop with Diego (this might be a hard one to start   )

I too choose to believe in this oh so very unfounded rumour, as I would simply love him at the club

According to skysports.com, the Reds have invited the 13-year-old for a trial at Anfield after recommendation from the Merseyside club's Finnish scout Tor Sparv.

The teenage attacking midfielder, who had earlier had a trial in August, is amongst one of the best prospects in Finland.

Skrabb's club, Jaro have reportedly permitted him to travel to Liverpool as the Reds could possibly sign him.
