Liverpool to sign Atletico winger Rodriguez
Rafa Benitez has completed the signing of long-term target Maxi Rodriguez, according to several sources and well respected blog Well Red.
According to sources, the deal was being discussed in 2008 – when we first reported the transfer – however, the winger will now join Liverpool on a short-term deal with a view to a permanent transfer.
Rodriguez is currently out of favour at Atletico and out of contract in the summer and would not command a fee if Liverpool look to buy him in the summer.
Rodriguez has scored 30 goals in 107 appearances for Atletico and believes first-team football at Liverpool can enhance his chances of making Argentina’s World Cup squad.
Rodriguez has already scored against Liverpool, last season, when he finished well past Pepe Reina in the Champions League.
Andrea Dossena is also being linked with a move to Atletico Madrid so the deal may include the Italian going the other way.

good singing hope he turn our season around
now this is more like it, better quality of player.
Maxi links up with his mate javier, he knows torres very from when torres played with him in madrid. This guy is a clever player somthing different from a benayoun, and different from kuyt, he is not a lennon type winger but he is a clever in that he finds space, he crosses very well and is a worker too.
As he is looking for world cup football with agrentina, he will be hungry, there are spanish and argentine players at the club, he has european football knowledge and for me on a lona deal with his wages not being over to the top its a win win situation, because yet again our owners have just bagged huge money but refuse to invest into the club, so what choice does rafa have.
Rafa has to look at loan deals, and this is a loan deal as good as you can get in any market, so well done rafa is this ends up going through.
Like to think we could get a frontman too, but get out voronin, degen, dossena, and yet again rafa will have made us money and not spent money, and i bet even this will get bad press for this, bet even some thick liverpool fans will have ago when you can clearly see the manager has fuck all to work with,
NEW YEAR LIVERPOOL (IF FIT)
torres gerrard
benayoun mascherano aquilani rodriguez
insua agger carragher kelly
reina.
subs/ others; kuyt, reira, babel, ngog, lucus, skrtel. cavalerli gk. etc
yes… loan nisterooy, luis garcia,filipenko too.. i hope liverpool can be strength n 4th position in primiership…
my question: Until when the debt from hicks and gillet paid immediately????
THE OWNERS, OR ONE OF THEM AT THIS CURRENT TIME HAS JUST NETTED OVER 180 MILLION PROFIT FORM SELLING THE BELL CENTER AND OTHER VENTURES IN CANADA/ AMERICA, AND WE ARE FUCKING AROUND TRYING TO DO LOAN DEALS,,,,, GOD HELP THIS GREAT CLUB,,,
GET OUT YOU PAIR OF FUCKING CUNT*
i wont fully believe this until i see this on liverpoolfc.tv
nt sure wat to make of this, i just hope van nistelrooy or forlan comes…wud also b glad about van der vaart… lets hope and pray 4 the best
quickly come them… nisterooy/forlan, maxi, vaart……
If only loans we can afford, then top 4 can be a mountain to climb….. and the critics will again call for Rafa’s head!
WHERE IS THIS MAXI DEAL,,, AS USUAL WE FUCK ABOUT, WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT, WE ARE STILL SO SLOW IN THE MARKET IT IS JUST CRAZY,,,, I ALSO SEE THAT THE OWNERS ARE STILL NOT INVESTING AND REALLY SHOW NAFF ALL SIGN OF DOING SO,,, I JUST WISH WE COUKLD KILL THEM OFF.
forlan will not be coming, atletico will not let forlan go too,,,, there are not that in need of the dosh,its valencia who are in bad shape, they are hanging on to mata, silva and villa by a thread, they really are trying hard to keep hold of them 3 players, which would bring in close to 83 million pounds.
liverpool need mxi to hit the ground running, then we need babel out for aorund 9 million, then dossena, also voronin, go and get v,der vaart too. then belhadj from pompey for a knock down fee
samuel charles you are talking shit, belhadj is clean shite. your true with getting rid of babel, voronin and dossena. with the money from them three players we need van nistlerooy on a loan move for the season, we need mata to replace babel and we also need maxi because kuyt is shit.
Heard maxi is going to boca juniors to impressed maradona. damn it.
impress*
lewis i agree with you, buy mata, with babel money, or there abouts, maxi on the right, kuyt sub bench, dossena and degen are gone for a total of £ 5.5 million then you have voronin gone for a net profit of 1,5 mill(when rafa got him on a free) good business that by rafa,
i make this nearly 17.9 million, buy mata and maxi.
torres gerrard
mata mascherano aquilani maxi
insua agger carragher johnson
reina.
now thats good
team for spurs;
REINA
CARRAGHER SKRTEL AGGER AURELIO
BENAYOUN GERRARD LUCUS INSUA
TORRES BABEL.
id put insua ahead of aurelio for the left hand side, to help out aurelio, who is think is a better defensive left sided player than insua, but i think of late that insua and for the future has shown he really likes to bomb down the flank. id like to see carra at right back, with the skrtel and agger at the back for height reasons.
babel would play to say to him its now or never, rafa should play mind games and say i havent sold you because i rate you now go out and play, if he does nothing buy half time, take him off and put aquilani in and push gerrard up top.
kuyt, reira, cavalerli gk, darby, pacehco*, ngog, aquilani.
* = must be on the bench, bring him if need to do somthing very different, this kid is going to be worth millions with a bit of luck that any player needs.
lfc 3 – spurs 1.
torres hatrick…
Forget it. We all know pool’s attacks lack dimension, but shouldn’t we focus on the back four as well? Carragher’s years were long over tho I truly appreciate his effort.
come…
come…
and another players: forlan/raul garcia???
GET OUT HICKS AND GILLETT, WE WILL AS ONE FORCE YOU OUT,,,, GET OUT OF OUR CLUB…. GET OUT
please rafa dont a aquilani to maxi when he arrives… no point bring in new players and leaving them on bench week in week out… replace him with the DEADWOOD (kuyt or lucas)
david villa and mata in, out babel, reira,
llorente as back up,
