I didn't think we had any money left. (BBC gossip page)

"Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is ready to make a £10m offer for Real Madrid's Dutch midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.
Full story: The Times "

Can any one read the story as i can't access the link in work?

i dont think this is true, really, i think its just rumour.

i would try and take him on loan for the season, because we cant afford him upfront.

rafa said yesterday he has money now so this might be true although i would rather have silva

Is this the article you're reffering too?
You been away for a trip 'round the stars?



LIVERPOOL are hopeful of beating off competition from several of Europe’s top clubs for the signature of Rafael van der Vaart, the outstanding Ajax youngster, who is being heralded in the Netherlands as the next Johan Cruyff. Gérard Houllier, the Liverpool manager, will not be able to sign the 19-year-old during the forthcoming transfer window, but is confident of concluding a £12 million deal that would see Van der Vaart move to Anfield in time for the start of next season.

Liverpool are ready to make an offer for Rafael van der Vaart, the Real Madrid midfield player. However, given that the Holland playmaker would cost about £10 million and Benítez has nearly exhausted his budget, there is little chance of a deal.

Just as I thought, NO MONEY and PAPER TALK. If Rafa really wanted him we should have taken him as part of the deal for Alonso. PAPER TALK!!!!!!!! and not very good lol

i agree that if we wanted him or wesley from madrid could have been included in alonso's deal.Such a swap wud have been preferable to Madrid.Other Possibility might be that Rafa has withdrawn interest in Silva and as a plan B,we could somehow splash 10 million or so and that could see voronin's exit.or a loan would be an option very much..Why is Rafa never Interested in any loan deals???

WHERE ARE YOU BIG MAN..WANT YOUR COMMENTS

On the koptalk front page it says that the reds have agreed on a loan deal...Who is the player?

Could be Van der Vaart with an option to buy him next season

agree mate...was thinking the same.....
