They refinanced the club and removed around 300 mil last summer.

Henderson wasn't a target he was an option, if he was a target he would be in a united jersey now,

He was a target, and you missed it. Not every player on this planet is short sighted enough to sign for United, and not every player is like Michael Owen.

You've gone from paying £16.5M to now paying a possible £21.5M.

Unlucky.

The glory of the premier league for you there mate. This so called mega league, better than all others. (When in reality it fails in an awful lot of areas, and is inferior to the German model) It is actually laughable teams can end up in such a state, just to challenge for trophies.

A sad indictment of where football in this country was allowed to go.

I hope if they do not repay most of that debt they will be eventually kicked out of UEFA competitions, which atm is what they are faced with in a few years time.

(sorry for the triple post )

Maxi wants to leave to go back home to Newells Old Boys.

They want him for free.

I say tough!

Nope we signed him for 16m, the rest is just add onns which are there in every deal

Unlucky

If he was a real target you would have heard of a real bid from united.

add ons were a compromise added after the owners kicked up a stink

instead of doing the 20million plus offer straight away they have gone for the add-ons option

Even by your standards that is some quality ignorrance, Nicko.

What you said there was completely incorrect but oh well, no change there

Apparently Liverpool are monitoring some Brazilian wonderkid from Sao Paulo called Lucas. His release clause is 120M Euros by the way... would cost about 1/6 of that though.

Christian Zapata has said he is close to signing for Liverpool from Udinese.

Sylvain Marveaux has failed a medical with Liverpool.

And has gone to Toon. They are busy this summer!

And has now joined Newcastle

LOL!

always a possibility the guy is always injured

He is saying he didn't fail a medical, but negotiations over wage and length of contract wee the reason.

AKA $$$. Newcatle offered him more.

Aparently he is good - never seen him play so I dunno, but he is also injury prone, which is probably where the press made up the medical fail.

They knew he wasn't going to Liverpool, and new he has a poor medical record and put 2 + 2 together and made 5.

Oh well, hope he fails miserably, you have to question some peoples ambition.

This one is on I see.

How depressing. This lad could be amazing.

He doesn't want to leave - Rory Smith- Telegraph
Maxi Rodriguez does not want to return home this year - quotes out of context - and has been told by Liverpool that they want him for next season.

Is he better than the last so called wonder-kid flop of the same name already at Liverpool?

What, you mean our player of the season? :\

Can a striker be considered better than a holding midfielder?

Lucas Leiva cost £6M and has played 200 games, good value.

This Lucas (Lucas Moura) is apparently Ronaldo (the real one) Version 2.

He has also said he's not leaving Sao Paulo till after the 2014 world cup too.

What does that have to do with the price of eggs?
