Neill to sign today?

[desertscouser]

Well said Rafa.

I've always been in favour of signing Neill but the fact that he's even considering an offer from West Ham is almost enough of a reason to tell him to f*ck off.

Well said rafa.

This is Ice Hams fault they come in offer him, crazy wages to him as they are desperate for players, Therefore he goes....hold up i want more money from Liverpool then i initially wanted off then i can get that off Ice Ham so i want it off Liverpool as well

[Fan65]

Interesting point here, he's 28 and been offered a deal up to 30k then comes an offer reportedly over 20k more a week, as much as he supposedly loves the idea of playing for Liverpool money is making him think again.

Now I know that on here we all think he should play for us for nothing after all it's an honour.. well it is but £20k a week ??????

I'd understand his reasoning if he goes for the money, at 28 this is probably his last big money move. say a 3 years contract that means he'll be balancing nearly 3 million against 1 million... How many of you would turn down 2 mllion quid ?

I thought Rafa saw Alves as more of a right winger than right back?

When did he tell you that?

Thats a good point at the end of the day itrs a short career for footballers but most nowadays leave the fotballing stage millionaires and very comfortable

Thing is though, if they go down they'll ship him out, then he's playing for any old team in the prem, on much less money...

sure he might knock back 20 k a week, but its likely for four months...

Don't get me wrong, 320,000 is not to be sniffed at, but lay this against a much more secure 30k a week for a few years, and it doesn't look as attractive.

Sounds like the work of the agents if you ask me.

When did he tell you that?

literally seconds after he blasted a penalty over Dudek at Melwood

DS has a point. It seems to me, using Rafa's words, this guy does not have the right "mentality" to play for Liverpool.

Sky are reporting that he is on the verge of joining West Ham. I'd sooner stay at Blackburn than go there, I mean what is the point when they look like relegation favourites? It's about professional pride, which he is sorely lacking if he wants to turn down a team third in the table, able to offer him CL football this year, and probably next year, to go to a team that could possibly be a Championship club next season, for the sake of a bit of extra cash.

Not the player for us IMO.
