DOSSENA: I CAN'T LEAVE KOP, WE'LL WIN THE TITLE

[Spudgun]

This is probably bs, its from the daily star. I like doss going forward, good cross on him but defensively shown up far too often last season.

By Chris Hatherall
ANDREA DOSSENA is ready to turn down a move to Juventus – ­because he thinks that ­Liverpool can finally win the Premier League next season.



Italian left-back Dossena, 27, has been strongly linked with a move to Juve after struggling to earn a regular place in the Liverpool team following a £7m move from Udinese.

But he wants to stay at Anfield because he believes Cristiano ­Ronaldo’s £80m move to Real ­Madrid has opened up next ­season’s title race.

Dossena started just 12 league games last term as Rafa Benitez preferred Brazilian defender ­Fabio Aurelio for most of the ­season.

But Dossena, currently playing for Italy in the Confederations Cup, reckons he would be mad to leave just when Liverpool are on the verge of a title breakthrough for the first time in 20 years.

He said: “I learned what the boss wants from me and I hope next season is better than last season.

“I never said I wanted to go away from Liverpool. I’m happy in Liverpool and I want to stay. Journalists say ‘you come back to Italy’. I want to stay in Liverpool.â€

Dossena believes that Liverpool have an outstanding chance of ­being crowned champions in 2010 now that United have lost star man Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

The defender, who scored in ­Liverpool’s famous 4-1 victory over champions United at Old Trafford in March, said: “Ronaldo going is the difference, I hope.

“We have to continue the same as last season because we weren’t 20 points behind Manchester ­United – only four.

“There’s not a lot of difference between us and them. And now Manchester United have lost ­Cristiano Ronaldo maybe that’s better for us.â€

Meanwhile, Liverpool and Aston Villa last night got the green light to bid for Standard Liege captain Steven Defour.

Martin O’Neill and Rafa Benitez are both keen on the Belgium ­international midfielder who ­inspired Standard to their second consecutive title.

And £15m-rated Defour is eager to move to the Premier League – even though his club are reluctant to sell.

O’Neill wants the 21-year-old prodigy to replace Gareth Barry who left for Manchester City.

Benitez was impressed by ­Defour during Liverpool’s Champions League clashes with Standard last season.

He sees him as the ideal ­replacement if Javier ­Mascherano or Xabi Alonso leave.

Defour’s agent Paul Stefani said: “Standard said they don’t want to let him go – but Manchster ­United said the same about Cristiano ­Ronaldo.

“It all depends on how much money they are offered.â€

old news... think this was posted in johnson thread...

anyway Even if he does stay Liverpool will win the title.. its just unfortunate he won't be getting a medal, as he won't have played enough games!!!

 

[Squiggles]

Rafa will fuck him off to Juve given half the chance, the fat useless shithouse.

 

[Rosco]

Do you think if Rafa promises to send him a medal at the end of the season he might fuck off ?

Hahahahaha

 

[ankreds]

This should be xabi's and mascher's reasons for not leaving us.

 

[Farkmaster]

Time for carragher to pay a summer visit.

I know he's not had a great first season but I don't think there is any harm in keeping him around for another season, what with Fabio's glass knee and Insua's youthful youthfulness .

Also Dossena wasn't all bad last season, sure he had his dodgy moments but it was his first season in England.

Let's see what shape he's in after a proper pre-season, instead of coming back late after his honeymoon.
