Going Spanish

Be wary, your days are numbered

If Chow Kit is Indonesia away from Indonesia, then Anfield must be a Spain away from Spain.

Already boasting 5 Spanish internationals in Torres, Alonso, Reina, Arbeloa and Riera, it seems Rafa is raiding his former club Valencia or known locally as 'Los Che' to strengthen Liverpool next term.

Los Che is beyond recognition from those days when they made Barca and Real look like schoolboys few years back. Saddled with debt, Los Che is seriously looking to offload players to stay in existence. It has been reported that Valencia is only days away from bankruptcy.

Solutions? Sell your best players. Villa, Silva, Albiol, Mata, lock, stock and barrel.
Of course they will sell to highest bidders but beggars cannot be choosers. That's reality. No free lunches anywhere in the world.

Rafa has staunchly denied the comings of several stars notably Silva and Albiol but I think these 2 will be in Anfield next season. Rafa the politician is definitely better than Syed Hamid that we know. Deny everything then unveil them at the Anfield steps, touching that famous sign.

Should we rejoice? Of course, Silva is damn good and Albiol, a defender cum defensive midfielder would be good addition to already strong Liverpool squad.
If these 2 really join the ranks, then I would assume some departures to balance the books.

Silva can operates from both flanks and in Albiol, I see an alternative to Masch. All in all, both would be good additions. Now we are talking about in depth, aren't we?

Then, it's bye-bye to Lucas, Benayoun and probably Babel as well. Anyone else Rafa?

A question: Will they be willing to sacrifice assurance of first team for a spot on the bench?

Rafa would need to be really good at negotiating to lure them to Anfield. Man City would love to get their hands on these players, with first team football guarantee, I am sure.

khan, u see week in week out, far more expensive players sitting in MU's dugout. people like tevez, berba and a host of others.
that's y they are still challenging in 4 fronts. we do not have that luxury and I think given the assurance by the Yanks, Rafa will also play same route.
These Spanish players will look up to the other 'org kampung' to settle in as we normally do in overseas.
Also, Rafa is like a father figure to them, and that alone will convince them to move to Liverpool.
They're still unfinished materials so there's no guarantee for them to walk into the door as first 11 even in Man City. Who's Hughes anyway? Who wants to play for City except Robinho with no CL prospect?

Well, those very good players wouldn't mind sitting on the bench when it comes to manure or real madrid. At Liverpool, even so-so players are constantly complaining..
