German midfielder on Rafa’s wishlist?

|

CaughtOffside.com is reporting that Liverpool are interested in buying German midfielder Mesut Ozil from Werder Bremen. Apparently, Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is a keen admirer of the 21 year old German international and is willing to pay in the region of £8million to secure his services. According to the website, Ozil is available so cheaply because his contract expires at the end of next season and the German club would like to sell the player for some cash before he is available on a Bosman free transfer. The versatility and the creativity of the midfielder have attracted the Liverpool boss to look in to the possibility of signing the player and with 9 goals and 17 assists this season for Bremen, he would certainly bring a different quality to the Reds midfield. Ozil has already played 8 times for Germany scoring 1 goal, and he has been selected in Joachim Loew’s provisional 27 man squad for next month’s World Cup.

    Good move if this happen

  • Maddox says:

    Riera can ship off too, yeah he’s good on the ball but for a winger he spends most of his time coming inside off the wing and he has a servere lack of pace. Get Ozil in along with N’Zogbia, another striker and a proper left back then we will be in business!

    He is young player, Liverpool should get him aut of Bundesliga as soon as possible, then he might be something.

    ONE PROBLEM…

    WE HAVE NO MONEY SO WHAT IS THE POINT IN TALKING ABOUT SIGNING STAR PLAYERS… DREAM ON!

  • samuel charles says:

    er stuart you mug,,, number one he is not a star player, number two his wages are probably no more than aurelios, which if you knew anything is going to make place for some wages of the wage bill,, and another fact is this guy is not at the level where his agent can ask for the moon, so in real terms you just have said somthing really stupid, facts are too, is that you have forgottern that we have babel reira and maybe 4 0r 5 youth players are going to be shipped out for a profit, yet another thing that gets lost on you mug fans that have a go at king rafa, wake up and start to get to understand our club will you.

  • jon says:

    well said sam,
    its time you so calledfansstick together and stop believing what the media say, cant you see it what they want to get rafa out cause he is class. what manager will win the leage with no transferfunds but just half your players sales???? I guess jose who has all the millions he needs at both chelsea and inter. get down to reality boy we are broke and need to support the lads including rafa or else they’ve got nothing

  • Greg says:

    It’s clear we need at least one more attacker, and it’s also clear we’re trying to find the best player available at the cheapest price – that’s why players with a year (or less) on their contracts are being targetted, and makes this link credible.

  • samuel charles says:

    be happy with swapping babel and reira for mata, then buy eva for a cheap 9 mill form sales form ngog, el zhar nemeth, san jose etc. there is so much deadwood to get ride of and at the very least before anything else would raise at least 25-30 mill so id buy mata, eva and then i can dream the owners or if , and its a big if ? can buy us silva. its clear we have to duck and dive but for godsakes, we must be able to spend soon on players rather then having to sell to buy,.

    REINA
    JOHNSON CARRAG SKRTEL AGGER
    MATA MASCHERANO GERRARD SILVA
    AQUILANI
    TORRES
    IF WE COULD DO IT AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT PLAYERS THAT ARE DEADWOOD GOING FOR AROUND 30 MILL WE WOULD ONLY NEED TO SPEND 30 MILL WHICH IF WE CAN NOT DO WE ARE IN HUGE TROUBLE, SPURS WILL SPEND 30M -40 MAYBE AND THEY HAVE IT, VILLA ALWAYS SPEND 15-20 MAN UTD HAVE MONEY AND THEY DO, ARSENAL HAVE MONEY AND SO DO CITY AS DO BIRMINGHAM AND AS SUNDERLAND. WEST HAM ARE EVEN GOING TO BE SPENDING 10-20 MILL, LIVERPOOL NEED NEW OWNERS YESTERDAY FACT

    An ex-American president famously once said,”Read my lips….” and so in just such a frame…WE HAVE NO MONEY. This is all like accompanying Dorothy down the yellow brick road!!
