I, for one would like david thompson to return. Yes, i would rather have SWP or pennant (why didn't we bid for him, surely he would have chosen us over brimingham...
). But david thompson will be cheap and will do "more than a decent" job at right wing. Lets face it, he will deffo do a better job than garcia & nunez there. Garcia should only play centre midfielder or support striker for me. And nunez is a squad player in my opinion.
David thompson was the best player for blackburn until his injury...... He would be great if he can re-produce his form here.
But it looks like a long-shot. Rafa seems to prefer players from spain.

Former Red linked with shock return
Liverpool are being linked with a move for Blackburn Rovers midfielder David Thompson today.
Thompson was sold to Coventry City by former manager Gerard Houllier after numerous attempts to change his on the pitch behaviour had failed. Thompson got the message though and played himself back into the Premiership again when Rovers bought him from Coventry just before he made his England debut.
The player has faced a few layoffs through injury however and his development has stalled as he was not called up for the England squad again.
Everton are currently in the hotseat to sign the player and have placed a 3 million pound bid firmly on the table for Blackburn to take or leave. The Toffees see him as a good replacement for Thomas Gravesen who left Goodison Park for Real Madrid earlier this month.
Liverpool's interest for the player has yet to be confirmed by any solid source but there is no doubt the 27-year-old would improve a Liverpool squad that is currently very thin in midfield with Xabi Alonso and Vladimir Smicer on the treatment table. It is not known whether Thompson would even want to move back to Anfield to fight for a place he is pretty much guaranteed at Everton.
We suggest not to get your hopes up for now as there are only a few days left in the transfer window and Rafael Benitez has gone very quiet in regards to new signings. The Spaniard may well be saving his pennies with Champions League qualification far from certain at this stage in the season.
