Reds make Mancini contact
-
Liverpool are mulling over a move for Roma's Alessandro Mancini, according to the player's agent.
Mancini enjoyed a superb campaign last season and has reportedly attracted the attention of several clubs, including Juventus and Liverpool.
His representative Gilmar Veloz claims he has talked with Rafa Benitez about a possible transfer, although he admits the two clubs have yet to enter negotiations.
"There has been interest from Liverpool and I have spoken with Benitez," Veloz told Radio Centro Suono Sport.
"I replied that they must talk with Roma, but if the Giallorossi were to sell him I'd have no trouble striking a deal."
Mancini's current contract runs out in 2009 but Veloz insists his client would like to remain with the club.
However, the Brazilian has yet to agree a contract extension and Veloz admits his future remains uncertain.
He explained: "On Monday I'll be meeting with Roma sporting director Daniele Prade to talk about contracts, I don't know what their offer is yet."
"Does Mancini want to stay? Surely if he didn't he would have already left."
Reports in the Italian press suggest Mancini will consider leaving if he is not offered a substantial pay rise. -
They just got Babel and Benayoun.

Reds dun buy a slightly above average forward that cost more than a Henry.Originally posted by used:pool got no limit izzit??? becoming like spurs
It is a known fact that our wing play is quite in need of such creative player. -
i feel their midfield is already fully packed. gonzales, kewell, pennant, benyaounOriginally posted by BÃ¥seline:Reds dun buy a slightly above average forward that cost more than a Henry.

and these players are good enough to be in the first team. dont you think getting mancini will cause some unhappyness with the current players despite them knowing rafa's rotation policy?? -
Mark Gonzalez signed a contract wif Real Betis. Yossi took over his number 11 at Liverpool.Originally posted by used:i feel their midfield is already fully packed. gonzales, kewell, pennant, benyaoun

The usually wide man in Mancini will put pressures on the current wide fielders. Rafa's rotation policy has it's good intention instead of dissing it off as something as a unnecessary thing. The coming campaign will be a long and arduous one with so many EPL games plus Championship League, other misc Eng Cups games... so the need to have fresh legs thruout the season is crucial. -
hopefully dis is real
-
but mancini is not the kind of winger that supplies much crosses.
he's more of the attacking type that score goals. -
This is what Rafa is looking for. ahahahahahaOriginally posted by stellazio:he's more of the attacking type that score goals. -
not one who can cross properly for the strikers meh?Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:This is what Rafa is looking for. ahahahahaha -
That is,if our strikers can depend on their ownself instead of just waiting for the ball.Originally posted by stellazio:not one who can cross properly for the strikers meh?

Cept for Gerrard, recall the number of times the frontmen gotten decent crosess from the wide men in Pennant, Gonzalez & Kewell? If both Kuyt and Beanpole recieved excellent crosses, they would have score tons of goals.Originally posted by stellazio:not one who can cross properly for the strikers meh?
Very much inconsistency and not much decent delivery from last season. Even if they din cross enuff, they oso din score enuff. -
i find that pennant is pool's best crosser after gerrard.
kewell didn't play much, and gonzalez delivery is average. but what mancini can do is attack defenders with pace, and create more space for the strikers.
but i sitll prefer ricardo quaresma, although not in a red shirt. -
Pennant had a lousy start to last season... he got better towards the closing stage. Now, he seems to find form again during the pre-season matches. hahaha. He has the talent but need to show alot more consistency and dare.
I love Kewell cos he a clever player with good technique but his speed has kinda slow. He wasn't traded for the coming season, so that says alot abt Rafa's faith in him. Looking forward to see him play when he is fit again.

they did not spend much after deducting the money from selling players.Originally posted by used:pool got no limit izzit??? becoming like spurs -
Mancini is for Serie A
not for EPL -
i think there is a need to buy him

He's a gem.
Cheers.
