Well he's not costing us much and he's an extra body for the squad.

the thing is you never know...you can sign a player for free and it could turn out to be a great signing, or you could sign a player for 20m (keane) and it just doesn't work out.....hopefully this will turn out to be a good signing.

He is (or was) a very good player. Nando raved about him when he first came here. As for pace, a certain David Beckham wasn't the quickest but he wasn't bad on the right.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was so marketable Beckham wouldn't have got any where. He has to be one of the most over rated players in the history of the game.

ha ha ha ha.

....and in here we've got the mighty Emp.

looks like we'll pay nothing for maxi:

The transfer of Maxi Rodriguez from Atletico Madrid to Liverpool is close to completion, but contrary to earlier reports of a 1.5 million deal, the Argentine midfielder could end up moving to Anfield for free...

As Tony Barrett reported in The Times earlier today, Rafa Benitez will receive no additional transfer funds from the sale of players.

However, Atletico Madrid have been early movers in the January transfer window and have already begun recruiting players, including a midfielder - and are looking to get Maxi Rodriguez - a high earner, surplus requirements and who could leave the club for free in the summer - off their books for six months.

A £1.5 million signing on fee is being discussed and payment would be spread, in the form of a salary, between now and the end of the season. All of which means that, unless there are any last minute changes of heart, the move represents an excellent deal for Benitez who will get his target, in essence, on a free transfer.

Maxi is a proper winger with loads of experience, past his best but still offers alot. Good signing if its for free. Technically he is good. Also extra motivation for him to do well as the world cup is around the corner.

Some of this would be nice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VZ_P_GjMiU

I think he`s 29. Is that past it? He just needs a new environment and challenge in the lead up to the World Cup. Cheap, well skilled & motivated...? Potential for being an inspired signing!
