Aquilani

[Exiled_red]

I see our midfield being selected from:
Gerrard
Lucas
Henderson
Maxi
Aquilani / Meireles (or none)
Spearing
(Downing or similar)
(Adam or similar)

*Kuyt will be involved as a striker

These players will probably be loaned out (or will get game time in the cups and perhaps mins as sub):
Shelvey
Pacheco

These players will be gone if we can find a buyer (or won't be involved):
Meireles / Aquilani (or both)
Cole
Jovanovic
Poulsen
El Zhar

Aquilani is going to be fantastic in Dalglishs side. Believe me, he really is.

He's going to be in the top 3 of most fans player of the season list.

No he isn't.

not too different from my thinking, still it's a bit of a jigsaw for Kenny.

Gerrard
Lucas
Henderson
Maxi
Aquilani / Meireles
Spearing
Downing
Adam

This bunch do have nice balance, plenty of options and depth.

I wish these stupid, lazy **** journos would stop saying we paid 20 million for him - the fee was 17 million & it is being paid in instalments. He's cost us about 10 million to date imo...

According to common belief:

Roma have released the following details on the breakdown of the fees

The 20 million EURO transfer fee is broken up into the following:

- 4 cash instalments of
- - 5 million EURO upfront
- - 3 million EURO by 4th January 2010
- - 7 million EURO by June 30th 2010
- - 5 million EURO by June 30th 2011.

Further Add ons include:

- 300,000 EURO for every year Liverpool qualify for the Champions League from 2010/11 to 2014/15

- 250,000 EURO everytime the player reaches 35 appearancs, 70 appearances, 105 appeances and then 140 appearances.

- 1 million EURO the first time Liverpool either wins the Premier League or Champions League by 30 June 2014.

- 5% of any future transfer fee will be paid to Roma.

By the end of today we'll have paid 20m euros for him

[Kenneth]

At least the add ons are safe.

[Cormack74]

At least the add ons are safe.

Yup 5% of a free transfer is affordable.

At least the add ons are safe.

Ha Ha Love this

Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani insists that he still has a future at Anfield even after a mix up that saw him arrested for trespassing at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground.

Aquilani, 26 who recently returned from a loan spell at Juventus, had been ordered by Kenny Dalglish to report back early for pre-season training but was forced to leave the premises when security guards mistook him for an intruder.

Melwood security guard Steve Hill takes up the story:

“We saw this long haired fella kicking a ball around and couldn’t understand what he was trying to do”

“He kept taking shots from the edge of the area but the ball was flying all over the place, we presumed he was a local drunk and decided to throw him out before he smashed any of the windows”

“We asked him nicely to leave but he refused and said that he was a £20 million Liverpool player……This cracked us both up but we admired his cheek and asked him to prove it”.

The Italian then challenged both security guards to prevent him scoring a spot kick.

“After 76 failed attempts we told him enough was enough, we both had homes to go to and we could have been there all night, I’m not being funny but if he’s a footballer he did a really good job at hiding it” said Hill.

The security guards forcibly ejected Aquilani who later filed a complaint with the club. However he has since accepted that the security guards made an innocent mistake and the good news for Liverpool fans is that he has pledged to see out the remaining 3 years of his contract.
