I really think morientas will be a liverpool player cum january. His comments on prefering monaco should have been taken in september. I mean seriously, which sane footballer will choose monaco over liverpool.

So we should have a new striker. Now for a right or left winger & a pacy centreback.

1)Good move, if it is true. Morientas is a different player from Garicia, Baros, Cisse, Pongolle & Mellor. To think of it, we have 5 different type of strikers (6 if you count morientas).

Morientes secures Liverpool move - reports

Newspaper reports today claim that Real Madrid have agreed to loan their striker Fernando Morientes to Liverpool for the rest of the season.

Manager Rafael Benitez has been trying to agree a deal all season but Liverpool have simply been unable to meet the demands from Spain with reports claiming that the Spanish giants want as much as £12million for the 28-year-old.

If today's reports are accurate, Morientes will sign for Liverpool in January until the end of the season when Rafa will be given the option of making the deal permanent.



2)Madrid ? Also seems there is more than meets the eye regarding La Tellac.

Rafa's transfer hint as Parry returns from talks

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has hinted that he will bring in some reinforcements when when the transfer window re-opens.

The loaned out Anthony Le Tallec recently said that he would return to Anfield to help the Reds if the manager called for him but as far is Rafa is concerned that's not an option.

"Anthony is a very good player but there is now only a month until the transfer window opens," said the manager, who was unimpressed with Le Tallec's attitude when he took over from Gerard Houllier.

Meanwhile Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry is believed to have held transfer talks with one of Rafa's January targets after jetting out of England at the weekend.

I'm unsure about Moreintes. That he was excellent in the Champions League last year cannot be questioned, but his domestic form for Monaco was sub standard.

It all depends on what money is available. I'd love Jermaine Defoe, but unfortunately, unless we get some serious cash somewhere, I cannot see it happening.

Were it a case of Morientese costing £3 or 4million less than Defoe, I'd seriously consider looking at trying to raise the extra money somehow, although its probably a pipedream.  :(

Reading the press, Villa from Zaragoza? seems to be the likely candidate.

Thing is though with Morientes one minute a move seems likely...then the next something happens and he isn't...

I think Morientes would be an outstanding signing - his guile and cleverness up front will be breathtaking with Cisse fit or baros rampaging.

I disagree. I think the Spaniards[mostly Benitez] here will influence him to sign with us. Liverpool is a bigger club than Monaco and the Premiership is popular these days.

I'm talking about the lifestlye mate, no doubt were a bigger club and better team than Monaco but the city isn't as flashy as Monaco and I think he's one of those players who like the glits and glamour.

Fingers crossed he'll be at Anfield in Jan  :cool:

Unfortunately, lifestyle would be a major factor, and if you can take football out of the equation (and sadly, it is not always as an important a factor as it should be) then going to the South of France is always going to beat the North West of England any day of the week.

Oh I see, didn't read your post all that well, sorry about that. I just hope he does sign for us like you said.
