Anyone seen much of this Brazilian?...

Dalglish ponders bid for Porto's £17m Fernando after Lucas injury blow
By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 1:12 AM on 10th December 2011

Liverpool are weighing up a move for Porto's defensive midfielder Fernando Reges.
Manager Kenny Dalglish will be given funds to strengthen his squad in January and the knee ligament injury suffered by Lucas Leiva means defensive midfield has become a priority.

The 24-year-old Reges, known as Fernando, is widely recognised as one of the best players in his position and is also on the list of transfer targets of his former manager, Chelsea's Andre Villas Boas.


The Brazilian is valued at around £17m but that is still within Liverpool's reach. They have studied other players such as Celtic's Beram Kayal but sent scouts to watch Fernando on Tuesday as Porto drew 0-0 with Zenit St Petersburg and went out of the Champions League.
Liverpool also want to bring in a striker and may yet look at a right winger and another centre back depending on what is available and at what price.
 
Yep, he's very good. But we'll probably be linked to half the universe before the end of january.
 
We should buy William Kvist from Stuttgart.

He's out of the rare breed of footballers with both class and brains.

Will become a top dm in Europe within a year or two.

Movement, awareness, intelligence and hard working. If Denmark does well in Poland/Ukraine it will be much down to this lad. Won't be that expensive either. January deal should be possible in the 8-10m region.

Unless of course Javi Martinez is available.
 
Reges does indeed look impressive.

I would imagine watching him play for your club would come with a continual degree of trepidation waiting for a card to be produced.....
 
Fernando Regis Philbin looks some craic from that video. He might get penalised for some of those rangy slide tackles in the premiership. He would have to ensure his timing is spot on. I love the nutmeg by rolling the ball along his studs. Lucas Moura has that in his locker too. Just saying.
 
Or maybe De Rossi?...

Manchester City are investigating whether Daniele De Rossi can be tempted to leave Roma, but will need the Italy international to lower his salary requirements for the deal to stand any chance of happening.

Roberto Mancini has been made aware of De Rossi's potential availability at a time when the City manager is prioritising the addition of a central midfielder in the January transfer window. City have no plans to replace Carlos Tevez in attack until the end of the season, and the club have struggled to identify the top-class centre-half Mancini wants, in part because of their need to meet Uefa's financial fair play guidelines.

Those restrictions also apply in the case of De Rossi, with City's initial inquiries revealing that he could be bought for as little as £5m on the basis that his contract expires at the end of the season and, at 28, he would have little resale value. However, De Rossi would not come cheap when his wages are taken into account and City are not in a position to bring in another huge earner when they have just posted record annual losses of £197m. Their information is that the Italy international will want a wage of around £200,000 a week and that is simply not feasible. If that remains the case, City are reasonably comfortable doing no business in January and approaching the rest of the season with the squad that has taken them five points clear at the top of the Premier League, scoring 48 goals in their opening 14 fixtures.

De Rossi has a reputation as a one-club man, with 10 years in the Roma team, and he may yet decide to stay at the Stadio Olimpico. The Serie A club are trying to put together a financial package that will persuade him to sign a new deal; to do so, they will have to break their wage structure.

Mancini's concern is that Yaya Touré will potentially spend a month at the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on 21 January, and that a difficult winter schedule on harder pitches could mean more injuries. So far, City have been fortunate in that respect, certainly more so than second-placed Manchester United, but Mancini does not want to leave anything to chance. De Rossi is a player he has coveted for a long time, although City are realistic about their chances and know the odds are against them. Their information is also that there is rival interest from other clubs, including Chelsea.

It shows that City are planning a more cautious approach to transfer business, even if their end-of-season list already includes Arsenal's Robin van Persie. A greater emphasis is being placed on targeting young, up-and-coming players and the club have noted the impressive performances of Wilfried Zaha, the 19-year-old Crystal Palace attacker. Mancini has discussed the teenager behind the scenes and intends to monitor his progress closely.
 
Gerrard back in the day made a hell of a lot of sliding tackles. He was a monster...


But this lad reminds me of Sissok with his tackling.

But Mascherano is the best i have ever seen at making those. He had that technique down to the T, his feet would always be pointing down so that he wasn't showing the studs too....
 
this guy looks to good to be true.

we will most likely sign the english not so good replacement (shame we missed out on parker!)
 
He looks a very good player. Porto have a great scouting network. We've got a lot to learn from that club.

A bit xenophobic no?
 
Liverpool face competition from Juventus for Porto’s defensive midfielder Fernando Reges.

After watching him help Porto beat Sporting Braga a fortnight ago, Juve lodged a bid of £6million plus an unnamed player.

It was rejected, but the Turin club may come back in with an improved offer.
