1st-liverpool fans would like to believe what the Anfield hierarchy says on important club matters, but the facts are they rarely speak the whole truth on any issue.
2nd-The latest disclosure coming from the Reds is that the club have been in negotiations with Fiorentina about the sale of Emiliano Insua even before the appointment of Roy Hodgson.
3rd-It was stated after Rafa Benitez’s sacking that during the search for a new manager, no player would be sold until a person had been appointed. In fact, we have now learned that this was only a half truth as Yossi Benayoun came out at the weekend to state that his deal with Chelsea had already been finalised before Hodgson was appointed. Roy it seems, really had no say in the matter as Benayoun had already agreed terms and he could only rubber stamp the deal. Now, it seems another deal had already been authorised even before Hodgson’s arrival.
4th- Speaking about left back Emiliano Insua, the new Liverpool manager said to Radio Blu in Florence.
“I saw him play in the last three days and I like him both as a player and on a personal level. However, talks with Fiorentina started before I got here, so I don’t know how advanced they are. I cannot say if Insua will stay at Liverpool or not. I’ll have to discuss that with the club.”
Talks had obviously already been sanctioned by the Liverpool board and it will be interesting to see how Hodgson deals with this situation. If he wants the player to stay he must fight his corner. I certainly don’t think that after getting his first big job in England after 34 years in management, he is going to lay down without a fight.
