offers arrive, even though there are currently no guarantees that Benítez will be granted the
revenue generated by their departures to reinvest into the Liverpool team. Click to continue reading...

his client go. He told Radio Kiss Kiss,
"The will of Andrea returning to Italy is now clearly established .
Andrea Dossena's agent hopes his client will be allowed to leave Liverpool so he can secure a World
Cup place. The Italian left-back has struggled to make much of an impact since moving to Anfield from Udinese
in the summer of 2008. He has been heavily linked with a return to his homeland, with Napoli making no secret of their
interest, but a move failed to materialise in the summer. Click to continue reading...

believes that the former Roma player can forge a strong partnership with Steven Gerrard. The 25-year-old made his Premier League debut as a substitute during the club's 2-2 draw against
Birmingham City at Anfield, though he was said to be in contention for a spot in the starting
line-up. Click to continue reading...
The vast majority of Liverpool fans are still right behind Rafa Benitez and rightly so. There is enough instability at the club with the owners and the debts, and the last thing we need
is to be looking for a new manager. One win in nine games isn't great but you don't turn into a bad manager overnight. Click to continue reading...

amidst suggestions that personal terms could not be agreed. Click to continue reading...
Yes, I am aware Daniel Agger is not even a left-back but it just shows how
badly Insua has been playing. The Reds had their share of problems this season but one of the
biggest reasons behind the disappointing results is the fact defence is leaking too many goals.
Johnson, Carragher and Skrtel are doing really well when they are fully fit, thus
I am positive the back line would be much more stable with Agger replacing completely unconvincing
Insua.
Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena says he is looking to leave Anfield in January and return to

transfer from Udinese in the summer of 2008 and has failed to hold down a regular starting place in
a Liverpool shirt.
Recently, it was brought to my attention that someone had posted a defence of Liverpool, and
specifically Benitez's, transfer activity. At first glance, the conclusion is clear: Total Players Bought:
£228,976,000 Total Players Sold:

"We will wait until the international break to evaluate and talk to Andrea .
Liverpool flop Andrea Dossena is set to end his Liverpool nightmare by securing a January loan
switch to Napoli. Dossena, 28, is one of under-fire Reds boss Rafa Benitez's worst signings and has failed to
convince the Spaniard he deserves a first-team berth. The Italian cost £7 million when he joined from Udinese in the summer of 2008. Click to continue reading...
Andrea Dossena's agent has admitted the Liverpool defender has attracted interest from Italian club
Napoli. The Reds defender has only made one substitute appearance in the Premier League so far this season
and is finding it difficult to prove his worth to manager Rafa Benitez. With Napoli looking to bolster their defence during the January transfer window, Dossena's agent
Roberto La Florio thinks the left-back may want to move to ensure a place in the Italy squad for
next year's World Cup. Click to continue reading...

deal involving his replacement Andrea Dossena. Benitez would need persuading to make such a move, especially with Emiliano Insua, 20 fast emerging
on the left side of the Reds' defence. Click to continue reading...
Liverpool lost 3-1 at Craven Cottage to Fulham today as Carragher and Degen were both sent off.
Rafa went for a 442 with Voronin joining Torres upfront; while inexperienced was a word to describe
the bench of Gulacsi, Dossena, Ayala, Spearing, Plessis, Eccleston and Babel. Liverpool dominated
the opening play, but went a goal behind when Zamora [. Click to continue reading...

I was going to open by stating with a certain level of confidence that should Arsenal and
Tottenham draw, Liverpool would leapfrog both in the table with a win today at Fulham. Then Arsenal

The Carling Cup, according to Rafael Benítez, is "a special competition". But it is a competition
that has often demonstrated the paucity of Liverpool's resources beneath first-team level in recent
years, whether that means home-grown youngsters, imported teenagers or disenchanted senior
professionals who are stagnating and in desperate need of a run-out. Click to continue reading...
