Why can't we sign Mancini? We havent spent that much if you deduct the sale of bellamy, cisse and others. I'd be overjoyed if we signed him, but Im well pleased with the capture of Torres, Babel & Benny! So c'mon Rafa, go on treat yerself...buy him!

I would much rather have Quaresma.

Not gonna happen mate, Porto won't sell and we won't pay £17m+ on him, I think Rafa will look to pay £14m for Mancini and NO MORE.

Plus like others have said we've got Babel and Kewell who will be pushing for the LW spot this season though Kewell is a walking injury

and sebastian leto might suprise us too.

He might but I doubt he will. I dont think we will even see him until the first carling cup game.

The only kid we will see playing maybe in the league could be Levia and even then i doubt it.

id take mancini over quaresma any day ofthe week...
world class winger with brilliant ability and has shown he can perform at a top top league...
he'd improve the squad and 1st team dramatically... with him we MIGHT just be able to pull off the 4-3-3 with him, (Babel/Kewell/Pennant/Kuyt) and Torres upfront..
would also make an excellent winger in a 4-4-2...
if we get him i think we will seriously be taken as ttle contenders... we would have a very good squad that imo isnt that far behind that of manutd and even chlsea..

Alessandro Mancini
Liverpool are mulling over a move for Roma's Alessandro Mancini, according to the player's agent.

Mancini enjoyed a superb campaign last season and has reportedly attracted the attention of several clubs, including Juventus and Liverpool.

His representative Gilmar Veloz claims he has talked with Rafa Benitez about a possible transfer, although he admits the two clubs have yet to enter negotiations.

"There has been interest from Liverpool and I have spoken with Benitez," Veloz told Radio Centro Suono Sport.

"I replied that they must talk with Roma, but if the Giallorossi were to sell him I'd have no trouble striking a deal."

Mancini's current contract runs out in 2009 but Veloz insists his client would like to remain with the club.

However, the Brazilian has yet to agree a contract extension and Veloz admits his future remains uncertain.

He explained: "On Monday I'll be meeting with Roma sporting director Daniele Prade to talk about contracts, I don't know what their offer is yet."

"Does Mancini want to stay? Surely if he didn't he would have already left."

Reports in the Italian press suggest Mancini will consider leaving if he is not offered a substantial pay rise.

we will find out more next week, would love mancini at liverpool...

but im not sure if rafa has the money for mancini, after buying babel...

another reason i want mancini to join is that i would prefer babel on the front line...

Sounds to me like he's angling for a better contract rather than a transfer.

Me too..... which is a shame really as I rate this guy quite highly.... from the matches I've seen, he has a lot about him that could be very useful for us.

Plus, I believe he's a brazillian, which may work out well once Aurelio is back from injury... 2 brazillians down the left speaking the same language and similar playing styles (not quite but you know what I mean...) could gel well together.

I rate Quaresma too but am a little worried about his temper and attitude..... much prefer Mancini....

But from the noises his agent has been making (or maybe just the way the press is reporting the story), sounds like you're right and they are angling for a better contract from Roma...

by **RedBlood** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 11:29 pm

id take him no doubt he's quality, but i seriously doubt it after the signings of benny n babel

personally i would try and buy heinze because we need a left back and he offers cover at centre aswell great player with a warrior like attitude and it would be great to get one of if not utds best defender on the cheap

Mancini interest is over
Jul 16 2007 by Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo

RAFA BENITEZ today revealed Liverpool’s interest in Roma winger Alessandro Mancini is over, despite claims of a fresh bid from the player’s agent.

Liverpool did show an interest in the Brazilian earlier in the summer, but Benitez opted to sign Ryan Babel instead.

Now, with Mancini negotiating a new deal with the Italian side, his representative is claiming Benitez is still pursuing the 27-year-old.

But Benitez said today: “I was reading stories about Mancini. I can say that Liverpool will not be offering any money for this player.”

There are suspicions the player’s agent is using the Reds to improve terms at the Olympic Stadium.

Benitez and his 25-man squad arrived in Switzerland yesterday.

Youngster Jack Hobbs and Stephen Darby are among those included in the party, as well as all the recent recruits.

Fabio Aurelio is also with the squad and training again, although Benitez says he won’t be able to play for a month as he nears recovery from a ruptured Achilles.

Scott Carson, who enjoyed extra time off due to the Under-21 European Championships, is also back in training.

The manager hopes the documents to allow both Lucas Leiva and Sebastian Leto to feature in the pre-season games will arrive during the course of the week.

The Reds play their first Swiss game against Werder Bremen tomorrow

Well i was hoping that he would be the last signing for the team . Still thinking that we need a proven left winger anywayz it looks more likely that heinze or a defender will be joining us .Left hope babel fit in straight away and kewell stays fit.

He was a bit of a tit apparently, making demands about where he wanted to play. Not the best way to get on Rafa's good side, especially when the likes of Torres and Benayoun were begging to come here. Puts his attitude into perspective.
