If they had the money they would buy the likes of Torres or Joaquin, but they don't. They have to be sensible in the transfer market as they don't have alot of money to play with.

OK. Did I ever say that its illegal or unethical?

How?
By not selling him to some other club. He did not get chances to play for liverpool. He was not seen by polish coach. Then how will he get picked up for the NT? May be dudek had something more in his store for the 05-06 season, may be more than reina. Dudek kept crying like a baby to get out of the club. He released so many statements mentioning Liverpool means nothing to him anymore and his time was up at the club. Why play with someone career? May be he didn't have any future at all in the Polish NT but Liverpool had no right to decide that.

OK. Did I ever say that its illegal or unethical? I'm just pointing out the way their transfer policy works.

Maybe, just maybe Alves WANTS to sign for Liverpool, maybe he was a childhood fan of the earlier Liverpool teams, maybe he wants to experience life in England. Who knows. If he really wanted another team, he would go to another team, Liverpool haven't forced anything.

Maybe Rafa kept calling him day and night explaining him the history of the club. Maybe Rafa kept telling him how good a manager he is! Maybe he kept telling him about the various positions he could work in and the first team chances he would get. Maybe he was told the importance of learning english. Maybe he just did everything to lure him to liverpool.

If a player is constantly pestered about one particular club how is it that other clubs will come to his mind and I am very sure that Benitez did everything to convince him.

He has become someone like a fan. How does one become a fan of a club? When he is constantly bombarded with the club's history, present & future, its players, manager, fan base and so on; and again did I ever say that its illegal or unethical or immoral?

Alves Too Expensive For Benitez

Sevilla's Brazilian full-back Daniel Alves has reportedly been deemed to expensive by Liverpool boss Benitez.

Alves was also tracked by Barcelona and Milan earlier.

However, Barcelona dropped their interest after Belletti's match-winner in the Champions League final, while Milan were forced to, earlier this month, when Alves declared he only wanted a move to Liverpool.

But it now appears that Rafael Benitez considers Sevilla's asking price - around £10 million - too high, and would rather look elsewhere than meet it.

Both Benitez and Alves had been keen on the move, which would have seen the Brazilian increase the Spanish influence at Anfield.

It remains to be seen whether Sevilla will lower their price, or whether Milan might want to come back into the picture after the earlier snub.

there is hope yet i heard that benitez is not willing to dish out the ten million sevilla wanted and has said that he was to expensive so maybe we do have a chance

he beat me to it

inside rumours say a decision will be announced one way or the other tomorrow on the Liverpool Alves deal. This has been claimed before so don't hold your breath.

sincerely im not a big fan of alaves im not for this move

why we should sign him as he mentioned his wishes for liverpool

Well, from history, once you snub Milan, that's it...

At least for a couple of years...

he didnt snub milan, he just wants liverpool and only liverpool because they were the first to show a real interest in him, now that they are not ready to spend 10m on him i dont see no reason why we couldnt, 10m for this kid is a bargain

well, it's 10 mil BP, I think, which is about 14-15 mil euros. That's hardly a bargain but I think he does have the talent to turn this into a great investment over the years.
Miguel and reveillere also shoudn't be forgoten though. And with Oddo in the heep too, I think we have a good number of options for RB, what's left is that we actually want to buy one

ah 10m bp, ok thats a different story, still though i think he should be worth it, but offcourse when you have players like oddo, miguel, and rev on the market then maybe its better to look elsewhere, i just hope that if we dont go for him he would stay where he is so we can get him when cafu leaves us

if u guys take a look at his performances, i think u will agree that he is worth 10m pounds..

and guys, whatever happened to his supposed move to Liverpool? some1 said that it was supposed to happen by the next week or something. Can any1 shed some light?

i agree, i think hes worth 10m pounds, but lets see what happens with miguel and zambro, they can both be better options at a cheaper price

i don't think zambrota will be cheaper then 10 milion

if juve drop he probably will be, and still hes definatly worth it
