I saw in Marca that he wants a move to Arsenal, but Mourinho wants him to go to Liverpool.
Ahmed, have you heard anything about Arsenal selling any players?
Just curious.
The media has mentioned Chamakh, Arshavin, Bendtner, and even Gervinho…
I would think they might need some cash after their summer purchases.
this is incorrect. ballague has said no such thing. he has said Liverpool are interested in the player but so are other clubs. there is no suggestion from him at all that a move to Liverpool is imminent.
According to Balague on Twitter (at https://twitter.com/GuillemBalague/status/235267338839134208):
“Liverpool feel they have done enough to convince Sahin but nothing confirmed yet. Madrid want a resolution this week”
I agree that the headline is misleading. I’ll change that now.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
The ITK are saying that Sahin is close to joining Liverpool on season loan.
I hope enjoys playing on Thursdays
Can’t see how Dempsey goes to Liverpool still. Allen, Sahin, Tello? Basically a solid addition to every midfield, wing or forward role that Dempsey can play.
According to Bellague’s column on sky sports Sahin has been convinced by Alonso to join Liverpool. He also said that Tello might also join Liverpool either on loan or permanent transfer depending on whether he gets a new deal at Barca. A midfield of Lucas, Allen and Sahin could be formidable.
we need proved strikers,not anything else,not out casts,not people who do not have time to play in there mother clubs.
real madrid officail tv station also says he is signed with liverpool sorry arsenal fans go tap up another player
My condolences Kate. No one wants to go to Liverpool.
