Reds to sign M

[scarface]

Well hopefully it is us cos from the looks of it talent like him are what we want! I've heard a lot of people on here say that barragan was a good player and that we have a buy back clause which if true is a good idea, but what about roque has anybody seen him play? is he gonna be any good? cos so far every youngster rafa has signed looks to be great signing!

Reds deny double La Liga swoopJul 21 2006




By David Prentice, Liverpool Echo


LIVERPOOL have denied reports that they are on the brink of snatching two promising youngsters from La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Barcelona's 16-year-old midfielder Fran Merida - described as a playmaker in the Ronaldinho mould - was reported to be close to joining Liverpool, with Real Madrid teenager Esteban Granero close to joining him.

Granero is currently plying his trade at Madrid's B side Castilla and has impressed in the Segunda Liga, while Merida has not turned up for pre-season training at the Nou Camp, citing "personal reasons."

Mr Parry confirmed "we are aware of both players" but said that reports claiming they were on their way to Anfield were "wide of the mark."

I guess that we could still be in for them. A guy on TLW seems to think that we are, saying that Eduardo Macia has identified them as the two best prospects in Spain (though I thought Dos Santos and Krikic were meant to be the best two).

But it seems strange that we have flatly denied it. You would have thought that if there was something in it, they would have just been a bit coy about things instead.

One youngster who did impress me when I saw him play for Spain in the U17 tournament was the striker who played alongside Krikic called Aar

Sorry lads - double post!

[TheStig]

Apparently (according to some on YNWA) they got us and Arsenal mixed up in alot of the reports.

Lets hope they havent this time!

[flava]

It's always nice to hear us linked with exciting talents, I just hope its grows to be more then just links.

Lec is reporting it on KT, so i would presume it has come from a descent source. He is ussually ok i think.

Lec, inside information, please. That's the Lec who said we'd be signing Owen this summer right?

[LFCman]

No, if he hadn't got injured then he believes we'd of been in for him.
