Kop eye Bilbao's £10m defender Fernando

THAT'S AMORE ... scouts are watching Fernando
LIVERPOOL were in Bilbao last night to run the rule over their £10million-rated central defender Fernando Amorebieta.
Bilbao's 6ft 3in stopper was facing Barcelona in the first leg of Spain's version of the Community Shield.
He has been attracting attention around Europe because so many teams want an imposing leader at the back.
While Amorebieta has yet to make his debut for Spain, he has been in the international squad and is tipped to break into the starting line-up this season.
Kop boss Rafa Benitez desperately wants a new centre-back and has been linked with Hull's £10m-rated Michael Turner.
The Tigers man was superb at Chelsea on Saturday and manager Phil Brown admitted he would do business if the Reds made a bid of £10m.
Benitez's big problem is that whichever defender he wants, he still has to persuade the club's American owners to stump up the cash.

Dammit...buy someone wide...or 1 more striker!! Voronin & Ngog is not Anfield material. Play some fluid attacking football...if Rafa win nothing this season, must buy him one way ticket to Madrid!!!
