Silva to Liverpool would be a great buy, and with Valencia in so much debt it seems unlikely they can keep their star winger. But as for him to move to Barca??? Are you having a laugh??? He’d rather shoot himself in the foot, he has publicly denounced Barca in the sanish papers on a regular basis, they’re virtually arch nemesis. Rafa has the spanish connection, the wage packet to suit and a possible title challenge wit a new strike pair.
But dont see Henry going to Man Utd, he said when he left arsenal that they were the only team he’d consider playing for in the future (in reference to the EPL).

Liverpool fans will have to wait. Silva is coming to Barcelona. Barca has the money, he knows the league and he will play regular. If he moves from Valencia, he will go straight to Barcelona.

Morgan… maybe you are stupid but liverpool fc are NOT arsenal (or everton).

We have mega-rich owners and although they are tight-ass about giving money…i like what they have forced benitez 2 do…they told him to sell the deadwood 2 bring in cash.

also. they stopped gareth bid because they dont think they can recoup money on shirt sales ,etc n i have a feeling rick parry had a say in there. shame. however, benitez identified other players needed on the left n real quality is needed URGENTLY there.Silva fits the bill perfectly because:1. He is left-sided mildfielder/winger,2. he also substantial t-shirt sales( a la torres),3. he is young, 4. valencia are in financial crisis n whatever their officials say they do need 2 sell their best player..HOWEVER, does Silva attributes 4 the Epl? thats a big question mark.but judging on his performance against a physical chelsea 2 years ago in the best footballing competition on this planet. 4 me, he tends to go down easily.

But not everything is rosy in red side of merseyside: MAnu are still the club 2 beat. BUT in rafa we trust.

Liverpool don’t have the money to buy Silva as they don’t have a similar player with his value. They would have to sell Alonso to generate the kind of money needed to buy Silva and that would leave a gap in the centre of the park.

So let me get this straight:

Udinese DON’T want to sell Inler, but Arsenal are still talking to the player’s agent?

I thought Arsenal were the standup citizens who only went through proper channels and all that?
