They are buying him.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez had said last week that the club had "more or less agreed" a deal, thought to be worth about £1.5m, to bring the winger to Anfield.

Really? Why is he that cheap? Out of contract and they want the cash or something?

Out of contract end of season I think.

I think that fit girl on SSN said he'd 'left' Atletico Madrid.

Not sure which way she meant that.

1.5m is a bargain imo.

The [Poor language removed] don't have no cash. I strongly believe they begged athletico to have him.

Another Benayoun maybe..maybe just good..just maybe unless he's a flop

Good player, but i suspect another career implosian once Ming gets his hands on him.

Well they sold Voronin and Dossena for 6.5m, so I imagine they can afoord him.

They'll need someone with an attacking thread...Torres looks like he's twisted his knee

OneTrueLegend · January 13, 2010

it says on Sky that Liverpool got him on a free, so maybe Rafael still hasnt got any money to spend.

Its a bit annoying though that once again we try to sign a player based in spain and he ends up at the [Poor language removed] ( Albert Riera, Mohammed Sissoko), oh well at least neither of them were very good anyway.

TAXI FOR MAXI

If he's got any sense he'll go back now before Benitez gets the chance to ruin another carreer

TX Bill · January 14, 2010

He's probably wished he hadn't signed for them.

Rafael asked about Maxi's fitness: "we'll have to have a look at him and see".

Expect to see him towards the end of April...

On a bleeding free so the wages offered must be good but a three and half contract at his age?? Reckon we got lost in the translation somewhere between tranasfer fee and free.
