Liverpool move for Fernandes

kamobe

LIVERPOOL are set to make a #3.5m bid for Southampton winger Fabrice Fernandes.


Gerard Houllier wants the talented Frenchman to add width and creativity to his side for their push to win a place in next season's Champions' League.

JOY!!!

FINALLY - A WINGER!!!!!!

Fernandez is a quality footballer, and I was curious why he made a specific point of going over to Houllier after the game and shaking hands/smiling etc.

I just hope it happens now...

Where did you hear this from?

That wouldn't be a bad move seen as how the duffer seems to be staying put (again).

Still though. Does he never get sick of buying French players. Nothing against French players but hell we need players with international experience too. I say take a leaf out of Wengers book and get an international winger with some experience on the world stage *cough* Pires, Overmars, etc. *cough*.

He seems insistant that he has to develop every single French player thats under 25

He may buy a winger but it does not mean he will play him. He already has players who can play as wingers but he chooses not to play them there. Rjise and Cheyrou can both play comfortably on the left wing, but He plays Heskey there instead. By the way those are two player that Houllier has signed himself so it is not like he was unhappy with them or never rated them.

I think Fernandez is more of a traditional winger though, then Rise or Cheyrou. He's a gifted little player, and could be great with a club like Liverpool (if they feed him properly that is). The article is in today's indo

So he is going out buy yet another no body, yes we know he plays for southampton and is a decent player but he again chickens away from going all out an getting a world class player

kamobe

I agree with what you're saying with respect to world class player, we do need more. Houliier does keep trying the cheap options, but still manages to spend 100's of millions.

But I do think Fernandez is a very good signing, I just hope he gets time to prove himself

yop

But ye have not signed him yet?

I do not thing that GH has time himself for another player to prove himself, what ye need now is a player who will take the game by the balls and get into the team straight away, I think GH is throwing money at yer "crisis" now and not hunting down someone who will make an immediate impact.

I maybe harsh saying the Fernandez will not do this, he may very well, but I think ye/GH cannot take a chance on this, other wise ye may not win anything this season, even if ye do not, the main priority is to make the CL.

Ye need to stop typing 'ye' in ye're posts, Yop, it makes ye look like a twat.

More transfer speculation is that GH is looking into bringing van der Vaart in from Ajax during the summer

Sposs

Woooh!!! what a coup,you'll be buying Zidane or figo next

yop

Van der Vaart is a class act, very determined player with buckets of ability

jonno

And the latest is just like before.

GH denies all rumours again. :mad:

Fernandez would be a great buy, but he ain't comming...

Meanwhile The Times (of London) reports the rumour I mentioned a few weeks ago of Haken Yakin joining in the summer for less than a million! This looks more serious.

Mike.

That would be an even better buy. Yakin is class and for less £750,000 its brilliant. Maybe GH was trying to soften them up with allowing Xavier out on loan because a few weeks ago the manager was adament that Xavier was staying put.
