Aquiliani was loved in Rome, and the fans in Rome were sad to see him go.
Again, Benitez chose to sign Aquiliani instead of Defour, Maxi Rodriguez (a Spaniard no less), Lee Cattermole or Mark Noble (Englishmen)! Who would probably have cost less!
An Italian! I'm sure there is substance in this purchase.
All I feel, is that he should be given the chance to prove himself rather than be condemned before he even put on the red of Liverpool. 2 years down the road and he proves to be a flop like Babel, I'm sure the critics will jump on him!
And for that matter, I'm one of those who NOW thinks Babel was a serious was of space on the bench!
