Liverpool in Coloccini talks
by Editor :: 2004-07-23, 02:42
AC Milan defender Fabricio Coloccini has revealed talks are on-going
for a move to Liverpool.

: "I know one of Liverpool's classic games is against Rooney's club - Everton. He's a great player and if I go there, I'll have to mark him.

"There are good strikers in all European leagues and you have to be prepared to take on players with that sort of quality.

"In Spain, I've had to mark forwards who are just as dangerous. I can do it, I feel capable of it."

He added: "I've heard the Liverpool reports. We're in talks and the offer interests me.

"I'm proud a club the size of Liverpool rates me, I really like British football and follow it a lot.

"And for the coach who won the Spanish championship to ask for me - given all the players in Spain - is a boost.

"I'll be very appreciative if the deal comes off. I wouldn't let him down."

Hope so

I don't think It's a question of "starting to realise" rather its who to fill the gaps with and how much is available to fill it with (money) .. Know one really has been open about the financial position of the club...but the board have said that new money would be available to Benitez.. so lets just wait and see.

This is positive news.. I have a feeling there will be quite a few more positives to come under the Boss!

I don't know too much about Coloccini to be honest.

I remember him playing for Alaves on Skysports a year or two ago but can anyone remember whether he was part of the Alaves team we played in 2001?

I don't think he has played too much for Milan, as they farmed him out on loan to Spanish clubs a lot.

Yeah,

Is it the drummer ? only had one arm .

Posted: **Fri Jul 23, 2004 5:16 pm**

Def Leppard retaining their drummer when he lost a limb is like what Liverpool done with Phil Babb when he lost his sense of direction .

Put a moustache on Coloccini and he'd fit right in with Terry Mac or Souness. Hope his football talent is on a par with them.

He looked impressive in the Copa America. How much will he cost ?
