???Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 6:30 pmI think Aimar is out of the picture.
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 6:34 pmThat would be really disappointing because if Aimar came, we have one of the best midfield in the world....

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 1:07 am7 million for Morientes and Cesar, I'd say its a good deal if it's true.
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 1:15 amAt last, something to look forward to. Hopefully, he will not get injured on the first training session.

Liverpool have finally agreed a £6million fee with Real Madrid for Spain striker Fernando Morientes.
The protracted transfer could be completed this weekend after Liverpool were forced to go beyond the £5m limit they had set to land their top target.
Morientes, 28, had wanted to link up with former Valencia coach Rafael Benitez at Anfield after having failed to secure a single start with Real in this season's Spanish league. Benitez was determined to bolster his strike force in the transfer window after losing summer signing
Djibril Cisse for the rest of the season with a broken leg.
Coincidentally, it was the arrival of former Anfield hero Michael Owen at the Bernabeu which saw Morientes, last season's Champions League top scorer while on loan at Monaco, starved of opportunities.
Real had been hoping to secure first option on any move for Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard as part of the Morientes deal but Anfield chief executive Rick Parry ruled that out, even though he had to go beyond his initial budget.
Liverpool, whose FA Cup thirdround tie at Burnley was called off last night because of a waterlogged pitch, will initially pay £4.5m, with a further £1.5m to follow over the next two years.
Benitez is also talking to Real about their reserve goalkeeper Cesar. Chris Kirkland is out for three months after back surgery and Benitez wants to take Cesar, 32, on loan for the rest of the season.
The Morientes move rules out a possible bolt-hole for Nicolas Anelka, whose Manchester City career appears to be over after manager Kevin Keegan finally lost patience with the temperamental striker. Keegan is angry that the sullen Frenchman refused to make himself available for Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal. He has now admitted he would sell Anelka, 25, if the club receive the right bid.
The City boss said: "I need everybody fit at the moment and against Arsenal I put players on the field who were not 100 per cent fit.
"Nicolas did not even feel he could take a fitness test. I was a bit disappointed with that. Now he is not fit for this match.
"I don't think there's any doubt that, if somebody makes a good bid for Nicolas, then we would sell him. We would then use the money to strengthen other parts of the team.
"But he has more than two years left on his contract. As long as people don't think they can steal him then everything will be OK."
Burnley chief executive Dave Edmundson claimed referee Mark Clattenburg's late decision to call off last night's game against Liverpool could cost them £200,000.
The tie will be played on Tuesday week and Edmundson said: "If the rearranged game is not on TV, it will cost us £150,000. Various other costs could make it up to £200,000."

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 6:31 amyes, slowly the other news sites are reporting the morientas & cesar signing.....it looks a done deal (but like always will only believe it when i see them posing in our jersey).
This signing has a few implications :
1)Forget about anelka (rafa might not have enuff cash or is looking to improve other aspects of the team).
2)Kirkland to go
3)If Kirkland goes, Aimar might come in.
Anyone know how good is this cesar ?

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 6:33 amCesar was very good until he got injured and well he wasn't number one anymore obiviously. He's an experienced keeper,proven keeper, good enough for me.
Only believe it when its on LFC.tv

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 6:39 amwell at least i can sleep well now. I would say 70% we have signed morientas...... This way i don't have to sit thru another kewell & garcia strike force .
i also know i am being greedy given that rafa will have signed 7 players this season (alonso, garcia, josemi, nunez, pellegrino and moreintas/cesar-if it goes through) but hopes he ends the transfer window by singing aimar too

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 7:03 amAimar speculation has ended as it's not going to happen. Aimara costs too much.
