no corn hyypia was 2.6 million but a bargain all the same! agree we must reserve judgement on the player just yet. lets hope hes as good as our last free transfer right back- Markus Babbel.

[The Real Laoislad]

Well whatever he is like he can't be as bad as Arbeola,And in fairness to Finnian he is getting on a bit so i wouldn't see him as a regular starter next year if he is still with us at all

the same Arbeloa that's in Spain's squad for Euro 2008?

Good business whatever way you look at it.  He is an young international player (albeit it with Switzerland). With no fee all he costs is the wages.  If it frees money up for other players I am all for it, and lets not forget how well the last Swiss defender played for Liverpool?

Aye that would be him,Doesn't make him into a good player in my eyes though...
He hasn't played well for Liverpool,He is prone to mistakes and makes them a lot more regularly than Finnan ever did,He doesn't offer much going forward and gives the ball away more often than not,And i have never seen him deliver a good cross
I really can't understand your love affair with him but sure each to their own i suppose I'm not gonna argue with you over it
I don't rate him,you do...end of

Reds close on Dossena deal
Liverpool winning race for Italian defender
By Nadia Carminati   Last updated: 21st May 2008

Udinese defender Andrea Dossena is close to agreeing a move to Liverpool, according to reports in Italy.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is on the lookout for a left-back to bolster his squad as it is expected John Arne Riise is set to leave Anfield this summer.


Tottenham are also chasing £9million-rated Dossena's signature and it is understood that the North London club had a bid rejected in the January transfer window.


However, it is rumoured that Udinese sporting director Pietro Leonardi recently flew to England to discuss a possible transfer with Liverpool.


The Reds, though, would face a battle to land 26-year-old Dossena as Serie A giants Juventus are also seeking close-season reinforcements.


Dossena, who has made one appearance for Italy, has played 63 games for Udinese since joining from Treviso in 2006 and he has scored two goals in that time.

Favourite team:

Grobbelaar
Nicol - Hansen - Lawrenson - Beglin
Whelan - Souness - McDermott - Barnes
Dalglish - Torres

Torres!!!!!! After 1 year

What's your problem?

Dalglish is my favourite Liverpool striker since I started watching them in the early 80s. And Torres is my second favourite. Ahead of Fowler, Owen, Beardsley, Aldo, Rush, Collymore etc.

I see Paul Ince's son has been called up to the academy for next season

Udinese Coach Pasquale Marino has confessed that star defender Andrea Dossena is highly likely to be wearing a Liverpool shirt next season.

The 26-year-old left-back enjoyed a superb season with the Friulani and is seen as one of Italy's rising stars.

Dossena was a target for Juventus earlier in the year, but now it seems that his future lies in the Premier League.

"I think that a deal with Liverpool for Dossena is on the way," Marino admitted to Radio Kiss Kiss.

"Everything is going smoothly. The requirements are in place and the player has given his consent because he wants to test himself at an important club after the season he has had.

"Our director general was in England partly because of that just two days ago."

As for Marino's long-term plans after an impressive first campaign with the Zebrette, the young tactician seems settled.

"I really like Udine," he said. "The fans don't have as visible a passion as they do in other places, but they are very dedicated to their team and they have shown that on many occasions.

"We will be looking to keep the unit we have intact, but we will also find alternatives this summer so that we can keep moving forwards.

"The important thing is not to feel sated after securing qualification for the Champions League," Marino concluded.

good to see

[Midman]

Looks like Alonso is on his way to Juve. I think thats a bad move especially if its to fund amove for Barry. I know Alonsos form has been patchy but id rather have him than Barry any day. He's a gem of a passer , pure class. I'd be very sad to see him go he'll be a star in Italy

[Yes I Would]

Agree that technically much superior than Barry, even Gerrard, but he has had a frustrating season and just not sure if he was enjoying premiership football last year.
Be sad to see him go as he promised so much. Depends what sort of dough they are talkin about

[The Real Laoislad]

I think i would prefer Barry..If only on the last few seasons Barry has been superior to Alonso
I don't think Rafa and Alonso get on that well
