Spot on mate. He might be a bit of an extravert and some would say trouble but in a strong changing room with the likes of Gerrard, Torres, Reina, Carra and Mascha he would soon tow the line. I can't see Man City selling at £8m - £10m but if he was available for that kind of money we would abolutely mental not to snap him up.

You can argue that he is similar to Aquilani but we need 2-3 players available for all positions if we are to improve for the future. That has been the issue we've had for years. Last yar proved we have a first XI that can compete with anyone in the league but we have suffered this year because our squad is weak...

Rafa - whilst you are raiding Man City see if you can pick up Michael Johnson as well

i think he's an excellent player, but his taste for cars is terrible.

Why because he wouldnt play for Ireland?

Cant believe the way our Irish fans booed him when we played City, its a Liverpool match ffs, Its like me booing Bridge for pulling out the England squad as if 

If we could sign him then Id be made up a vast improvement on Lucas.

Now i thought Liverpool did not have a lot of money to spend during the summer, would expect Ireland to cost around £7-£10 million. He is a good midfielder which could offer a lot to the side.

Please, anyone but Rafas lovechild Lucas?

If he was a REALLY good player he would stick out like a sore thumb at any club that is battling against relegation. Think of Tevez when he was at west ham... he alone saved their entire season. That is potential legend.
