Yarmolenko did look good but I was more impressed with Konoplyanka (sp ?). Both aged 23 and on last nights evidence either of them would make a good addition to our squad.

Anybody know their market value ?

I think they are both around the same value - £15-20mil but I think Yarmelenko's contract is up soon so that might effect his price. We could get the two of them for £30mil possibly ? And would massively improve our forward line - would give us everything we need in the wide areas

For some reason, Konoplyanka and Yarmolenko are my dad's favorite players. He says that Konoplyanka is the better player though. Konoplyanka really is a bit more skillful than Yarmolenko, but I don't think that that's enough to say that he's the better player. Yarmolenko is a lot stronger and more powerful. He beats his players using both speed and strength. Yarmolenko is far more complete as a player and I'd rather have him than Konoplyanka.

As an illustration for those who haven't seen them, Konoplyanka is the Ukrainian Messi and Yarmolenko the Ukrainian Ronaldo

Anyway, as Benny said, they should be worth around 15-20 million each, but lowering the price is negotiable.

Errrr, the last Ukrainian we had was a total and utter donkey. I have to say I haven't seen these two above but I take it they're better than the Voronator

I know that these rumors come out way too often, but I'm always excited to see them

Liverpool given green light to sign Xabi Alonso in January transfer window

Liverpool want to land Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid in January after Brendan Rodgers was given the green light to re-sign the midfielder.

Alonso swapped Anfield for Madrid in 2009 and has been a huge success, but the 31-year-old is now into the final year of his contract, and an extension is looking unlikely.

Chelsea and Juventus are also eyeing up the pass-master, but Rodgers is desperate to bring him back to Liverpool in the new year.

And despite the club’s policy of not buying players over the age of 30, the Reds manager has been given special dispensation to do business for Alonso.

Liverpool are well stocked in central midfield with Steven Gerrard, Jordan Henderson, Joe Allen and Lucas among the options, but Alonso would offer something different.

It’s thought Madrid would be willing to accept around £3million in January to do business, instead of potentially losing him for nothing at the end of the current campaign.

Liverpool are ready to launch a January bid for PSG play-maker Javier Pastore after the player’s agent admitted his client has grown unhappy with life in France.

Pastore kick-started PSG’s big-spending when he arrived from Palermo in 2011, but despite a handful of good performances, he has largely struggled to impress.

The 24-year-old was linked with a move away over the summer, but said at the time he wanted to prove himself to new manager Laurent Blanc.

However, after a difficult start to the season, Pastore’s agent says the pass-master is unhappy with Ligue 1 and may leave.

‘In football there are always ups and downs,’ said Marcelo Simonian.

‘He has been happy there, but now is not the time for nostalgia. We will see what happens in the next few months.’

The comments are a welcome boost to Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, who is now ready to swoop in the new year after months tracking the Argentine.

Liverpool have been on the lookout for a big money marquee player, but missed out on Willian to Chelsea in the summer, and are yet to find an available alternative.

But it’s thought around £17million would be enough to get Pastore from PSG – and the Argentine international would reportedly relish the opportunity to move to the Premier League.

Napoli and AC Milan are likely to provide competition, but Gazzetta Dello Sport says the Reds are privately confident that they will do business.

I know he's supposed to be quality but must admit have seen b'ugger all of him. Like the fact that he's Argentinian (they always get stuck in) but to those that know a bit about him whaddya think ? Would he be a good signing for us ? (if we got him).

Was very good in Italy but not seen much of him in France. Very talented player

by **Boocity** » Sat Sep 28, 2013 6:10 pm

We could do with a quality signing in midfield, no more squad fillers, its the position we missed out on in the summer and its obvious SG can't do it for 90mins playing every game

Top top quality player. 17 mill is a steal for him when you consider his quality and how much players like Lamela and Willian cost. Closest players to him in the league in terms of style are probably Taarabt and to a lesser extent Hazard. Has pace, an excellent dribble, and can also score. Primarily though, he's a number 10 (can also play down the flank, preferable cutting in from the left) and while it might be difficult having him, Suarez and Coutinho in the side, I think he'd be a revelation and would absolutely command a starting spot in the side.
