We don't really know what we are selling him for - just paper talk. Also 1 Year left on contract and he is 29.

[biggidawg]

because he has only got one yr on his contract...


if he wants to go get something now, because if he s not signng a contract he will go for free...


also he has always wanted to play for madrid, that cud help or the torres transfer...

[red g]

i think its more to do with athletico looking good. i dont think we matched torres buy out clause. instead of them buying luis for say 8million we buy torres for full wack and they get garcia for 4million

[cannotmakeit]

Just one year left and he's not been offered a new contract. Just back from a long term injury and he is 29.

Wouldn't go that far, he seems like a decent enough aul chap.

Luis has two years left on his contract, not one.

Yes, just as no doubt you said when he scored in the Champs League match against Juve, or Dortmund, or Chelsea.....

He's one of our most perceptive players, a really switched on fella who makes some of the most intelligent runs I've seen, to create space for others or score 'follow ups', with his nous for being in the right place at the right time. Watch again when he scored against Everton after the ball had hit the bar. Watch the 2005 Champs League final and see who would have put the rebound from the penalty away after Dida had parried it if Xabi hadn't got there.

In other words, your football knowledge is nil. Indeed, perhaps you are the waste of space.

IWe'd be stupid to let him go.

He actually picked the ball out of the net for all three goals in Istanbul..

That glancing header and the Juve goal stand out for me.

And when he was good, he was very very good and when he was bad, he was awful..

Bayer Leverkusen it was mate
And yes i've made reference to those goals he scored on our way to winning the champions league in 05 on numerous occasions.
He's scored some wonderful, wonderful goals for us aswell as some vital, vital goals for us. No-one can take that away from him and if he were ever to return to Anfield i'd expect him to get a standing ocvation but that doesn't disguise the fact that he wasted so many oppurtunities in games, stopped some good attacks we were building by trying an impossible flick or trick when the simple thing would have been to keep it simple, the amount of times he wasted possession and some suicidal areas was just pathetic really.
I'm a little sad he's going but i'll not lose any sleep over it like if Alonso or Reina left as theyare solid professionals that put the team first.
That's my take on it anyway.
