Liverpool have been linked with moves for two African World Cup stars. According to givemefootball.com, the Reds have enquired about Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan at his French club Rennes. The 24 year old was impressive at the World Cup scoring three goals, despite his late penalty miss against Uruguay, but his asking may have sky rocketed to £20m because of his raised profile after the tournament in South Africa. Despite this, his scoring record at the French club is not great and has scored only 14 goals in two seasons in Ligue One.
The Reds have also been linked again with Nigeria and Marseille left back Taye Taiwo. Betfair football believes that a £8.5m from Liverpool is imminent. The 24 year old was an instrumental part of Didier Deschamps’s league winning side last season as the club won its first league title in 18 years.
no thanks,,, not more cisses and diouf’s and diao’s. no thanks.
Taiwo…another player we’re constantly being linked to and talking about….and I hardly know a thing about him. Other LFC fans are very eager for us to sign him and probably know as little about him as me.

Agree with Samuel, we’ve been bitten on the backside too many times with ‘world cup’ heroes and they have never had much success at Liverpool. Gyan’s domestic goalscoring record is not exactly prolific and that is in a much easier league than the EPL. No thanks.
Taiwo yes Gyan no way there are cheaper and better options out there.
i have seen quite a bit of taiwo and i really like the lad! i think he would be a big improvement on what we have, so that’s a big YES!
as for gyan, i agree with most of you, a half decent world cup means nothing, wouldn’t take the risk for that kind of money, a firm NO!
Taiwo is a hard no-nonsense defender and attacks as well as Glen Johnson.He hits a ball like Roy of the Rovers(as hard though not as accurate)
