Liverpool are reportedly close to agreeing a six-month loan deal for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Real Madrid striker has made it clear he wishes to move on from the Bernabeu to secure first team football and a place among the Dutch squad ahead of the World Cup.

The former Manchester United striker has also indicated his willingness to return to the Premier League where he enjoyed a hugely successful spell at Old Trafford.

Having been linked with various clubs, including Arsenal and Blackburn, it now appears the 33-year-old set for a move to Anfield.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is desperate to add some fire power to his misfiring team and van Nistelrooy would provide the ideal remedy.

With the current financial constraints at Anfield, it's thought a loan deal is the most likely outcome should the signing come to fruition.

It won't be that straightforward. Real won't let us take him without at least trying to rip us off
 
Looks like this will be happening, eh?

I really hate the idea of him playing for us but ignoring his Utd ties, it's a good move.. and Vlad will be happy I'm guessing.

I'd prefer a quality wide player on loan.

True.

Which could be swine flu. And with our luck, he'd come over and pass it on to half the squad. Barring Lucas, of course, who'll remain fit as a fiddle.
 
Ideally we'd bring in about 3-4 players in Jan, particularly if we're selling a few as some reports suggest we might be doing.
 
3-4 might be a stretch. But the Scott Parker rumour's gaining legs. That in addition to Horseface. A big money winger to add to them two would be brilliant. I'm hoping the Elia rumours resurface. Highly unlikely though, as usual.

what what what???

scott parker?

what the eff is elia?

a big money winger?? you having a laugh?
 
If we go on a bit of a run over the next couple of weeks, Rafa will probably figure we don't need to sign anyone else.

Yup, the Scott Parker rumour's been doing the rounds. Apparently, we're vying with Spurs for his signature in January. Make of that what you will.

Elia is the Dutch winger who plays for Hamburg. We were linked with a big money move for him in January last month. Most probably bullshit, but I'm just being wildly hopeful.
 
Ideally we wouldn't be getting Horseface but if that's the best we can do then so be it.

Not sure what the position is regarding selling players and funding signings. We certainly should only consider getting Horseface on loan if anything, and would be happy to get rid of Voronin to fund that if it came to it but if selling other players will only allow us to fund loans we shouldn't do that and should forget about other signings.
 
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez in bid to sign Ruud van Nistelrooy on loan from Real Madrid

Liverpool are trying to thrash out a deal with Real Madrid to land Ruud van Nistelrooy on a six-month loan next week.

Rafael Benitez’s side, who beat Aston Villa in a snowstorm at Villa Park on Tuesday night, are keen to bring in an experienced striker after seeing their season crumble during Fernando Torres’s frequent stints in the treatment room.

Van Nistelrooy, 33, is keen to head to Anfield to prove his fitness for Holland ahead of next summer’s World Cup. But boss Benitez is worried about the Dutchman’s troubling injury record and has already ruled out paying £3m to take him on a permanent basis.

He is also refusing to agree to Real Madrid’s demands to pay the striker’s £100,000-a-week wages for the rest of the season if he joins on loan.

Benitez has limited funds available as a result of his inability to find takers for Dutchman Ryan Babel, Ukraine forward Andriy Voronin, Swiss right back Philipp Degen and Italian left back Andrea Dossena in the transfer window.

Instead, Benitez has asked the Spanish side to pay the majority of Van Nistelrooy’s wages during his time at Anfield.

But Madrid are holding out in the hope that another Premier League club make contact and force an auction for the ex-Manchester United forward.

Babel’s agent, meanwhile, says Liverpool are only interested in straight cash deals for the Dutch winger. Tottenham, Birmingham, Sunderland and Besiktas have all expressed interest but Benitez will not allow him to simply go out on loan.

Babel’s agent Winnie Haatrecht said: ‘It will be difficult for him to focus and remain focused. He will not be loaned.

‘I don’t know if he will be sold, I have had no contact about that. The only thing I know - no loan. There has been no talk about a sale.’

Dossena, meanwhile, is holding talks over a possible switch to Atletico Madrid

Should get Alvaro Recoba... he's available on a free.

Not the player he used to be ... but I'd rather have him on our bench than most of the players we got on the bench these days!

Ever need a free kick to be put away late on in the game, bring him on and he'll do the business.
