Highly-rated Argentinian teenager Sergio Aguero wants to join Liverpool.

Highly-rated Argentinian teenager Sergio Aguero says that he would rather join European champions Liverpool than German giants Bayern Munich.

Bayern had been looking to make a move for the promising 17-year-old attacker, and were willing to pay around £10 million for his services.

Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge hinted a bid would be forthcoming sooner rather than later in the hope of getting their foot; in the door ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, the Independiente youngster says that he would rather join Rafa Benitez's Liverpool - the club he says he supported as a boy.

"If I had to choose a league then it would be the Premier League," Aguero is quoted as saying in the Munich TZ newspaper.

"I have been a Liverpool fan for as long as I can remember and it would be a dream to play there.

"I watched the Champions League final and celebrated every goal as if it was for Independiente."
Benitez has already dipped into the Argentine market to sign young defender Gabriel Paletta from Banfield for next season, and he could make a move for compatriot Aguero.

The 17-year-old, who plays in midfield or up front, is being tipped as the next big thing from South America, and has been backed to make as big an impact as Lionel Messi in Europe.

Benitez is always on the look-out for fresh new talent to bring to Anfield and Aguero's comments will make him confident of beating off a host of top European sides if he decides to make a move.

I'll not post the whole news article, Houllier turned down the opportunity to sign him:

Liverpool are one of the best clubs in England and it would be a dream for any player to represent a club of such traditions

Wasn't thommo one of the reasons behind that.. ?? he reported that he felt Ronaldo would be too 'lightweight' for the premiership

Could well have been, we probably would've destroyed his talent anyway.

Aguero is really annoying because Rafa wanted him and the player clearly would've been up for it

Rafa thought he was too young to buy for big money.
But Benitez said: "Two years ago the agents were talking with us about players and he was one of those but he was too young and [Atletico] paid big money for him, around 18 million euros for a player who was a risk.

"In the Premier League it's different and sometimes players will need more time here to improve."

So instead he wasted 12 million (pounds) on Ryan fucking Babel...

Its more about signings we could of made, or anything relevant to the club that you wish did happen but didn't...

There's a reason why I've always said I'd never allow a manager to sign players

It seems the Transfer Commitee idea isn't much kop either...

Though I know what you mean.. i'm not so sure if a 'Director of Football' approach is such a great idea

Comolli, Suarez & Hendo aside was a bit of a disaster..

He would have bought him if the cash was there imo. He was always a dollar short of doing what he wanted to do back then.

Yeah yeah, he couldn't have possibly found money for Aguero in the 230m we spent on transfers.

Seriously?

OK thanks Commander Data

No use crying over spilled milk, Aguero would have left us for Madrid or Barca in 2-3 years after joining LFC anyway.
