Its not exactly great for morale to start saying we're going to sign a winger beofre the seasons finished. We need to be focused as this point in the season. Confirming interest in Siva now accomplishes nothing

don't think it is a smoke screen regarding silva... a player like him there are alot of clubs that would want to sign him. A smoke screen wouldn't help us in this situation i'm afraid...

Well I think maybe it sends a message to Riera, Babel, Kuyt, and Yossi to keep playing at a high level, or start playing at a higher level.

Liverpool FC Rafa Benitez tells of failed David Silva bid

RAFA Benitez today confirmed that Liverpool DID make an inquiry for David Silva only for their interest to cool after learning of Valencia’s asking price.

As revealed in Thursday’s ECHO, the Reds boss had earmarked Silva as one of his top summer transfer targets and was willing to make an offer for the Spanish international if Valencia’s valuation was realistic.

But Benitez today announced that he will not be following up his initial interest in the 23-year-old.

Confirming the ECHO’s version of events, Benitez said: “It is true that we were asking about the situation with him but we are not happy with the situation now and he will not be a target for us.”

Valencia are believed to be seeking as much as £30m for the player and even though Benitez rates the Euro 2008 star highly he would not be willing to pay that much for his services.

The only possible way any such deal will now be resurrected will be if Valencia lower their asking price significantly.

Chelsea wouldn't pay 30 million for Robinho so I don't see why they would they pay that much for Silva. I think only City would pay that much for him

30m for Silva? They'll probably want 50m for Villa

maybe we need Parry back, as he signed Keane for 20 million.

It would be nice to have him in our squad but he isn't the only option out there for us and im sure Rafa has plenty others on his list.

Cracking player but not worth 30 mill ? Valencia are having a laugh , i think we can neogtiate a deal down if silva is insistent on moving here

by **tubby** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 9:02 pm

Yeah that's the only way we have a chance. But also that could only work if he would be nearing the end of his contract becasue then Valencia would not want him to go for cheap or nothing.

Valencia need every penny they can get so of course they're going to shoot for the stars.
