Well if he was on loan, that wouldn't be an issue. In fact, it would help us. He'd have to be on top form to attract a big club to come in for him in the summer. I don't think we'd be looking to buy him.
Fair point although I do think with his ego he probably doesn't feel he needs to prove anything and I'm pretty sure there'll be plenty of interest from big clubs even if he doesn't play again until May...and he knows it.
new rumours off the weekend and today(21/11/11.)
Liverpool are heading the race for Blackburn Rovers defender Chris Samba, according to The People.
PSV Eindhoven playmaker Kevin Strootman is being targeted for transfer by Liverpool, according to the People.
Liverpool are said to be keen on Swansea City winger Nathan Dyer and are reportedly preparing an offer in the New Year.
Liverpool are set to make a bid for Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo this January before the player ends up as a free agent at the end of the season.
Liverpool and Arsenal could lead the hunt for Barcelona defender Eric Abidal after the player's agent admitted his client is likely to be leaving Barca at the end of the season.
According to various sources in the British media, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton and Juventus are among the teams battling it out for the signature of Wigan striker Hugo Rodallega.
Alberto Aquilani fully expects AC Milan to meet the £5.2million buyout fee Liverpool have included in his season-long loan deal. (gazzetto, 18/11)
Again, I think this works a bit in our favour (this is assuming we're even interested.) His ego will actually be the reason he does feel the need to prove a point. He'll want people, Mancini in particular, to know how good he is.
As I say, all this is based on a loan spell, as we've seen how those with big egos (Sturridge) can benefit. It's when you actually have them permanently that there are issues.
I think Tevez would be right up for it between Jan and May.
I refuse to write the rumour that the bbc website has as it's in a rotton scummy rag.
Given our dealings with Juve and the Aquaman saga, we should offer like 5mil for him.
After my effort with Polo I'll say we have to go for the Dijon guy 'cos he's mustard.
Plumbing new depths I know, but it's all I can offer as I know sweet FA about the lad, or any of the others mentioned tbh.

My mum's first names were Florence Ada (she hated them btw) and my dad called her his sweet FASaint. Just leave it as "I know sweet FA...."![]()
