#1014-1018. <ok>

Still annoyed with the Honda one. Good player, on a free, in his prime (27 I believe), can play a variety of positions in the midfield. ****.
 
Martin Montoya's agent has said he is talking with Liverpool, Inter and Napoli. He is also talking about a new contract with Barca.
 
Brendan Rodgers personally flew to Germany last night to watch Julian Draxler star for Schalke in their Champions League victory against Basel.


The 20-year-old German international is drawing interest from clubs across Europe and the midfielder, who plays in the No 10 role, is a long-term target at Anfield.

Although Steven Gerrard is having an excellent season in the heart of the Liverpool midfield, Rodgers says he sees Gerrard, now 33, dropping into defence as he gets older, with Draxler a potential successor to the England captain.

Draxler, who burst onto the scene at Schalke at just 17, scored to send Schalke into the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Basel needed only a draw to progress but Draxler starred, picking up the man of the match award before being taken off after 66 minutes because of a groin injury.

Liverpool will face a fight to sign the highly-rated youngster, with Chelsea and Arsenal leading the charge for the playmaker.

Kevin de Bruyne, who increasingly finds himself frozen out by Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, could be used in a swap deal for Draxler.

Arsenal have long been admirers of Draxler, but last month Draxler said he needed regular first team football ahead of the World Cup, which could open the door further for a move to Anfield.

I wish but I just cannot see it happening - he will so many big clubs after him.

EDIT: Having said that, we have scouted him in the past ...

Also, Montoya has spoken to Spanish radio and he said he won't move to Liverpool in January, and is likely to renew his contract. :(

Maybe a blessing and we go for someone a bit more stable and prem ready now? I think montoya is good but there is always that gamble with another more attack minded full back.

I hope he was watching Draxler, Farfan, Salah, Papa ( if he was playing), Matip, etc. <ok>

Just thinking more about Draxler - we have been scouting him for a while so the rumour isn't that far fetched. He would be the Stevie G replacement if he did come.
