Pato - Milan have said after kaka leaving they won't need to sell anyone else so I doubt he will be available.

Looking through the press it seems most likely are:-

Ribery £65m
Benzema £25m
Valencia £15m

Benzema would deffinatley be worth a look at imo he reminds me of a young Anelka with his pace, power and he has something i can't remember from a Manchester United stiker since Mark Hughes he's left footed which in itself i think would cause defenders problems.

Ribery is a great player no doubt about it but £65m is a hell of a lot of money.

Valencia imo will be a good buy but people will expect a replacement for Ronaldo. Valencia will offer more than just an attacking threat, from what i've seen of him he has a great work ethic but isn't gonna come central to hit 40 yrd shots instead he's the type of player that will run down the wing and put in the danger balls into the box for our strikers to finish.

Park = 7

Straight swap for Alonso. Please make this happen!!!

You actually want to sign biscuit boy?
IF he does stay fit you want to hope Liverpool are challenging from day one, cos he has a nasty habit of looking severly apathetic and even going missing (and I'm not talking about the treatment table) when things are not so rosy.

Robben is a magnificent football player. He has obviously had an injury ravaged career and that would worry any club looking at him, but beyond that I never noticed him looking apathetic while at Chelsea.

I don't see why he'd come back to England TBH. He was kicked to 5hit when he was here and then given a heap of abuse over diving. He should stay away from the PL IMO.

Saying that, I'd still be delighted if Chelsea were to bring him back. And even if he did join the hypocrites from Anfield I'd still wish him well because talent like his is needed in the game.

I agree about him being better off outside the Premier League. Hardly a word is said about his diving in La Liga.
The thing that has triggered the rumours is Madrid apparently offering him to clubs. If they can keep him fit I think he'll stay at the Bernabeu and with the recent sigings by the club I think next year he'll look a lot more interested.

Yeah, great idea. Lets swap a classy footballer who hardly misses a game for a diving, injury prone waste of space, whom, despite being a quality player, can hardly turn it on from the treatment room.

Great idea!

Having said that, I cannot stand LFC so I hope they do just that.

No thanks. He's good, but not at the expense of Alonso.

Madrid tied up Villa deal today?

Absolutely brilliant player, they have - or will have - the best attacking line up in the world, sort the defence and midfield out and they might just worry a few sides.
