KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool plan to 12m bid for Keisuke Honda?

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is rumoured to be preparing a January bid for CSKA Moscow playmaker Keisuke Honda.

He has been promised funds to make such a move due to the sales of Javier Mascherano, Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun during the recent transfer window.

Hodgson had hoped to secure a striker signing before the transfer deadline but failed in his attempts to sign Carlton Cole and Roman Pavlyuchenko but apparently the Anfield manager is also looking to add more creativity to his midfield and is hoping to bring in a player who can supply the ammunition for his threadbare front line.

Keisuke Honda had a successful World Cup and has promising start to his CSKA career but is reportedly considering his options and has expressed his interest in a move to the Premier League. The Russian League ends in the last week of November so the 24 year old playmaker will then be considering his options and whether he wishes to stay in Moscow.

Valued at around £12m Honda was a Liverpool target under Rafa Benitez whilst he the Japanese international was still in the Dutch Eredivisie with VVV Venlo. He has been a target for many of Europe's elite and is admired for his good close control his range of passing and his set piece taking abilities.

Good player

yeah

like him allot, fast, great control with the ball and a real good passer/striker. No downside, only hope he can make it in this league.

Good god,the transfer window is shut 3 days and this is the kind of crap the official site is peddling,The source is caughtoffside.com as usual it means it is horsesh1t.

Caughtoffside just makes this rumour 100% not true lol. if there was truth to it, and I would LOVE for it to have some truth to it because he looks to me to be a top player, he would cost well in excess of 12 mill, great world cup, few top clubs looked at him, just started his contract with CSKA and has 4 or 5 years left to run? Would cost much more than 12 mill.

Good F@ck! I thought I'd get some rest from 'Transfer Rumours' for a while now that the window was closed.

Should probably ban all transfer talk until december at the earliest,it is possibly the most irritating part of football.

[oops]! Before the window close, Liverpool were talking about takeover and bringing top players like Arda, Toivonen, Shaun Wright Philips, Llorente etc. These rumours are all [oops]!
