LIVERPOOL KEEN ON MUNIAIN & MARTINEZ
A very brief line from The Sun on Sunday now, who report the following:
'Liverpool will step up interest in Athletic Bilbao winger Iker Muniain and defender Javi Martinez.'
Well, we're sure that's very nice for Liverpool, and if they are indeed interested then they have splendid taste in footballers.
However, we would just gently ask the Sun if they have considered exactly why these two players would want to leave Bilbao for Liverpool? Why they would want to leave a club that are playing brilliant football, under a crazy genius of a manager, for anyone other than the very best teams on the continent.
Also, at a conservative estimate, these two would cost something in the region of £50million, money that we can't see Liverpool spending this summer.
In short, it seems unlikely. |
