Higuain without doubt, he´s young and a cracking player.
Robben is glass man.

In addition if these players are not good enough to win titles and CL at Madrid, why would they succeed at LFC? I know they are all quality but they are not the e all and end all...

I would take RVN and Sneijder though

For 6 million i think saviola would be worth a punt , he can do the job when required and i think is unfair that he hasn't been given a fair chance like higuain to prove himself . He scored 50 goals in 129 apperances for barcelona and that is pretty decent

I think Reals loss could be our gain, quite a few potential missing pieces amongst that lot, as well as some that just go missing. Sneijder is an obvious one, but Drenthe, Van Der Vaart, Huntelaar, Heguain, are all good. I can't stand Robben, personally, and he was a waste of time when we played them last season. Horseface on the other hand would be brilliant cover for Torres, but I wonder how much past his best he is ? Saviola would also be an interesting option, but I think e have a decent bit of cover at left back so I can't see us needing Heinze.

Could be some bargins here, but it might mean loosing someone is the process.

Wesley Sneijder is pure f*cking class, him and Gerrard as attacking midfielders and Mascherano doing the holding would definitely soften the blow of Xabi leaving if it came to that. And Ace aint half half right about his free kick skills, his dead ball threat is easily in the top 5 in world football.

Robben sickens me and after some of the cr*p he pulled in games against us in the past I cannot believe anyone would want him at Anfield either.

Van Der Vaart is a talented player too but injuries have plagued him his whole career and with Torres looking a little brittle last season I don't think the Reds can take too many chances on risky players, however talanted.

The two Argentinians havn't done enough to convince me that either of thm are the real deal (pardon the pun). Higuain had a great impact off the bench in 07-08 for them but in fairness, Madrid coasted La Liga that season so I don't know if he has the goods when the chips are down also Wayne Rooney tanked him at Fifa so for that alone he shouldn't be allowed within touching distance of John Lennon Airport

The thing is with the money that Perez and his bumper buddies are spending they are going to be trying VERY hard to get every last drop in transfer fees for players leaving the Bernabeu, and some of the players mentioned above will most certainly be in demand, and we all know we cant get involved i any bidding wars.

Horseface is past it i reckon has lost majority of his "pace" if he ever had it , he was always a fox in the box . Higuain well i don't rate him just think he had a good season for real , did :censored:

all against us . Robben looked the most dangerous against us however . Huntelaar will stay as madrid will pair him up will villa if he comes . Drenthe is worse than babel , if you watch him on a consistent basis . VDV is a tough one , performed so well during the euro's and for his last club but hasn't done it for real though . Madrid will sell some of them though and they will not be expensive , no doubt however which will be the most used team on FIFA 10

Van Nistelrooy (spelling?) spend last season out with another major knee injury, and is well into his 30s now so personally I think he's finished, A move back to PSV could be on the cards.

I think a common belief is we need more goals from our midfield pairing. Sneijder would definately do that as he can play the role of playmaker but also is dynamic enough to score goals and also can play on the left wing.

If we lost Alonso I'd want Sniejder.

Negredo another I like. A well rounded striker capable of playing up front on his own, still pretty young but with a lot of promise. Not saying he's as good as Torres but he's probably a little too talented to be a reserve striker and he's very much in the same vain as Torres.

Bueno is a future star IMO but would prbably be behind Riera at this stage so he's not high on my list o f wanted players.

Gago I'd only be interested in if Mash left, Higuan is a top player but not going anywhere, and I doubt Robbin would be available either. Saviola is a waste of space and enjoys sitting on the bench a little too much. Drenthe struggles mentally with the pressure of top flight football VDV doesn't fit into our formation, Van Nisterooy is a sick not and IMO Heinze is past it. So no to all of them

Negredo + Sneijder + 20m for Alonso......a very tempting proposition if Alonso wanted to leave.

I'd go with robben right now, even though he is a bit of a gamble with the injuries. If alonso leaves sneijder could be a great buy.

by **maguskwt** » Fri Jun 12, 2009 12:39 am

even though robben was their best player when we played them, there's a danger of him becoming another harry kewell if we sign him. Saviola, only if he is motivated to play for us. Alot of these players when they move from clubs like real and barca they lose their drive to prove themselves too...

I'd take the right back, Ramos. He's a good player. The rest of them though looked garbage against us.

by **maypaxvobiscum** » Fri Jun 12, 2009 5:28 am

how about Ramos and Sneijder + 5mil for Alonso?

by **RobinHood6969** » Fri Jun 12, 2009 6:06 am

RVN + Saviola + Sneijder + VDV + some 20 million for xabi , oh yeah negredo as well

Ramos is brilliant at going forward but he's poor defensively. The whole madrid backline is garbage and while all the spend on the offensive side , they have to improve the backline

who cares if he is poor defensively? When we play teams that have a chance of threatening us down the wings we can play Arbeloa. I think Ramos would be less exposed playing under Rafa and with Mascherano and Carra.
