Agreed.

I was very sceptical when I first heard we were signing Bellamy in January, but what I saw before his injury I liked.

ESPN claim Liverpool are in for Villa.

"It is now purely down to the player and with Torres in Villa's ear it may not be so far fetched that Villa indeed becomes a Liverpool player.

Talks have been ongoing for several months and, despite reports of interest from Manchester United, it is understood that there are just a few final details to resolve before an announcement is made."

From far fetched to minor details.

Do they have enough money ? Wasn't one of their owners selling the Montreal Canadiens to help pay debts off at Liverpool ?

I think Liverpool have a bit of money left. Though I'd expect either Alonso or Mascherano to leave OR at least the sales of the likes of Dossena and Arbeloa to fund the deal.

I'm quite surprised Glen Johnson is going to Liverpool tbh. We know what Rafa is like with English/ British players as openly stated by Crouch and Pennant who are two of his 'current' team mates.

Surprised they've not talked him out of a move there.

Why? What's Rafa like with English/British players?

Villa's transfer is looking very likely now but unfortunately it looks like it could only be funded by Alonso and Arbeloa going to Madrid which is looking increasingly close now.

Real in buying defender shocker aswell.
