Sunderland set for stunning raid on Liverpool Reports out of Italy are linking Sunderland with a sensational move for Liverpool flop Alberto Aquilani. Aquilani has only just returned to Anfield after a loan period in Italy with Juventus and while it was thought that a permanent deal was in the pipeline, nothing materialised. Aquilani has since returned to Anfield, however that has not stopped the speculation. Sunderland have been a little busy recently and their spending spree does not look like it is stopping any time soon and the Black Cats are reportedly confident of springing a surprise and securing Aquilaniâs signature. Liverpool themselves have just been spending and it may be time to do some balancing of the books, it is not as if Aquilani is a critical component of Kenny Dalglishâs plans at Liverpool and it does remain the the most favoured option by all parties concerned and that is the sale of Aquilani.
Very expensive flop, but couldn't we just take on loan for the season and pay half wages. Hopefully then may find his form, he was brilliant for Roma before a career threating injury.
Read it myself a few hours ago, but dont think it holds much water, also he didnt get much of a go at Anfield, did he, and as the saying goes, you dont become a bad footballer overnight. But suspect he wont be going to the SOL.
Trust me...hes crap..I ve seen most of the few games he played down here. Besides the local press have already poured cold water on these reports of him coming to us..his wages are massive...£85000 a week hes on at Liverpool.Radio City already stating hes looking at another loan with another Itialian club
They've got to be kidding lads, he's crap the scousers will want big money for him to try and recoup what they paid for him and he will be on big wages. The most important thing here however is we now have more than enough midfielders so we don't need another one especially a reject from Liverpool.
I think crap is a bit harsh, but he hasnt played many games in his career, and i just think liverpool payed way over the top for him when they signed him, but seemingly he did have an 80% passing rate for juventus last season, so he must have something about him (italian game is a bit slower than over here though, so he would hve got more space and time on the ball in the middle of the park).
Depends on how many passes he made mate and he probably hasn't played that many games because he is crap. Agree about the Italian game though it's like watching PL on slow mo.
Maybe Statto, can help us owt. Although he's flopped lately, i thought he had a decent record in the past...May be wrong like..
Well the last time i done that i got this as rep ****ing boring numbers ****** twat so i have sort of curbed it a bit lol I will post this though which i have just found about his time in Juventus Heat map please log in to view this image
Cheers Steve..£24m, **** that's a lot... 90% passes completed, very very good. More of a central midfielder...got enough of them amyway. Likes Turin, Bit of a non-starter really............
well it was £18million €24 million likes turin but Juventus have new owners and they dont want him, or cant afford him or something, but i doubt he is going back, so he is sort of in limbo. personally i dont think there is any truth in this at all, and I also havnt seen him play very often, i dont think we need him, but if we did get him i think he would be a good signing.
