More on M'Vila from David Maddock:
We are hearing some news from within Anfield, and it suggests that any deal for Yann M'Vila is unlikely.
Sources within the club suggest that dealing with his club Rubin Kazan is even more fiendishly complicated than Dnipro, and that would suggest talks won't even get off the ground.
Another reason why this deal is highly unlikely is more basic - the Frenchman is, shall we say a 'complex' character, and the feeling within the Anfield hierarchy is that he is too much trouble to land on their squad at such a crucial stage of the season. Described as a "loose cannon" by one of his previous managers, he is precisely the sort of player boss Brendan Rodgers is loathe to consider, given the atmosphere of togetherness he has managed to create within his diverse squad.
