Sounds pessimistic... paper talk of Ruud van Nistelrooy link with Liverpool unrealistic surely?

Firstly, let me just clear up I'm a Liverpool fan, anyway here's how things stand. The Daily Express this morning published that van Nistelrooy could be moving to Liverpool. When I saw it I was flabbergasted. van Nistelrooy at Liverpool? In their current turmoil?

Any proper fan would think the benchmark that Real would look to is 拢15 Mil right? Can Liverpool afford this for a man that is still superb %26amp; effecient in every part of his game?



So he doesn't get played at Real, I don't know what van Nistelrooy will be thinking but get this... if he comes it won't be all plain sailing %26amp; we'll still be two players short. I don't know if he can play this lone-striker that Rafa %26amp; Chelsea employ (big fan of the role, both Liverpool %26amp; Chelsea's respective systems with the forward man). I mean, if he doesn't change the shape (Rafa) to 4-4-2 then this prospective signing could be another Cisse. In for a dozen %26amp; out for 4 (I know is said 15 mil but say Real compromise considering their wage bill).



We're looking at one star man on the bench. Think about it, if does revert to 4-4-2 then Steven Gerrard plays distributor man (like Alonso, his passing is proficient enough always has been), then Aquilani presumably bombs forward from deep (it could be easily be vice versa, thats how flexible we could make the team with Gerrard %26amp; aquilani playing consistently) but Mascherano? The destroyer right, the energy? Is he going to throw his toys out of the pram like Ronaldo did but for seperate reasons i.e. being kept out of the team if Aquilani comes in.

Will the owners carve out a say a dozen million and burn a hole in the pocket or will Rafa spring a shock sale on us? Dutchman out. Dutchman in.



This was a full-on question but listen it's all hypothetical but still very relevant in 2010. Those are my pros and cons for the prospective arrival of the dutchman. Give me your thoughts now??

Oh %26amp; I'm not rubbing it in the noses of any Man u fans. I, I'm just enthusiastic about the speculation.Sounds pessimistic... paper talk of Ruud van Nistelrooy link with Liverpool unrealistic surely?
If SAF can sign ex liverpool %26amp; real striker, Owen, it would be a good balance for Rafa to sign ex Man Utd %26amp; real striker too.



Best of luck to the pool.Sounds pessimistic... paper talk of Ruud van Nistelrooy link with Liverpool unrealistic surely?
Never heard of the guy. He sounds good though. Yeah why not. Sign him for 1.5 trillion. Is he French by the way? If so then he'll cost a bit more.
In futball nothing is unrealistic my friend..they probably can't afford it..but with their current problems I woulnt be surpriced to see them go after atleast 2 stars this winter evenif they can't afford them.
Sure why not. He needs some games. The class of Real Madrid is gonna push him aside and Liverpool need someone like him to help them win the (unlikely) title.
As far as I know we are only trying to get him on loan and his contract is up soon.
just a loan deal being looked at that's all.



There's got to be a horse placenta joke in there somewhere
are you having a laugh.....at 34 van nistelroy is past it....scored only 1 goal this season and picks up injuries on a weekly basis...are you crowd that desperate that you see van nistleroy as your saviour ? and he would be hardly coming into a successful team would he ? would he get into the man utd team ? arsenal ? chelsea ? they wouldn't go near him ! the circus that is your club goes on and im enjoying the show !
