Alex

[DHSC]

Liverpool have targeted a shock swoop for Chelsea centre-back Alex as manager Kenny Dalglish looks to solve his side's defensive problems.

It is claimed Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are prepared to find the money so the manager can bring in another defender, particularly after Daniel Agger picked up another injury and the side's shaky defensive problems in pre-season.

According to Fanatix.com, Liverpool have already held unofficial talks with Chelsea over a proposed £12m move for Alex and it is thought negotiations are going in the right direction.

The Reds had been linked with a move for Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross but the decided to drop their interest when the Potters refused to lower their £18m valuation.

They have now reportedly set their sights on Brazil international Alex, who was replaced in the first-team in January last season when David Luiz was signed from Benfica.

Liverpool have focussed their transfer policy this summer on recruiting younger players who will have long-term futures at the club but Dalglish is prepared to abandon that position to bolster his defence with a proven centre-back.

Physioroom is still showing just three injured:

G Johnson Hamstring Injury 20th Aug 11
M Skrtel Calf Muscle Strain no return date
S Gerrard Gilmores Groin 10th Sep 11

I assume they don't bother listing Aurelio anymore.

I reckon you'd get Cahill for that close to the window closing, he's in the last year of his contract after all so can talk to clubs in January.

I wouldn't mind Alex at all but Cahill is my first choice. Agger isn't injured. I don't know where they got that story from. The official site would have listed him.

Alex is a monster.

I'd rather Cahill though, as others have said.

Both Players would improve us big time..

Fuck it, get both for £20m and were giggling.

Probably not. He has less than 12 months left on his contract.
