Villarreal Want Liverpool Winger Albert Riera To Replace Robert Pires

Spanish side Villarreal are reportedly targeting Liverpool winger Albert Riera as an ideal replacement for Robert Pires in the summer.
Mar 14, 2010 10:29:00 AM

According to the Sunday Mirror, the La Liga side are contemplating a £6 million swoop for the Reds’ out-of-favour wide man, who has made just nine Premier League starts for the Anfield outfit this season.

Injuries and a lack of form have pushed the 27-year-old towards the fringes of Rafael Benitez's under-performing Merseysiders, while the arrival of Maxi Rodriguez in January has also seen his first-team opportunities limited further.

However, he could be set for a return to his homeland with the report quoting a Villarreal source as saying: "If a deal for [Albert] Riera is feasible, we will have to explore our options."

Meanwhile, Pires’ current one-year deal at El Madrigal expires at the end of the season and he is widely tipped to leave the club, which could pave the way for a move for Riera.

Yet the Yellow Submarines could face competition for Riera’s signature with the report concluding that Sevilla are also interested in bringing the winger

Sell him, and use the funds to buy Turan. We need someone with pace.

 

[Skullflower]

he's worth more than that.

 

[spider-Neil]

first of all he isn't. and secondly the pound is weak so i'm surprised it wasn't 5 million

 

[Skullflower]

is.

 

[Ong]

Just sell. If we have change the manager, I want we also have a thoroughly changes in our squad.

 

[Fallon]

He's not skully, he's only got 2 years left on his contract, he's 3rd choice for spain, he's 28 next month and will soon start losing whatever pace he's got, and as Dantes said the pound is piss weak right now.

 

[monsieurdantes]

put it this way. if the stupid fuck got himself kidnapped by somali pirates, do you think we would pay a 6 million ransom for him? if benitez had a fucking spine he'd shrug his shoulders and say keep the bastard, i don't need him

 

[TheBunnyman]

What's the weakness of the pound got to do with how much they offer us in pounds? If anything, it's the other way round. If the pound was strong, £6m would be about €9m. As it is, it's about €6.6m. Pretty cheap, from their point of view.

maybe you should delete this before someone else reads it

 

[TheBunnyman]

Bit late now. Explain to me why it's wrong then. I'll try not to do a Dreambeliever.

 

[monsieurdantes]

no you're right actually. when we bought riera it was 0.8 £/euro and now it's 0.9 £/euro. so his price should be just over 10% higher. it won't be for long though

 

[Skullflower]

shut up, dantes.

 

[monsieurdantes]

that isn't going to work skullflower. fuck you by the way

i was just in silence because of underestimating riera's value by 1.6 million

 

[TheBunnyman]

Phew.

[monsieurdantes]

no. degen and aurelio is already pushing it, and now skullflower? a third one? the coroner will rule out accidental injury at some point and then what the fuck am i gonna do

 

[Ryan]

I suspect Riera's days might be numbered alright. If we replace him with someone better, then I can live with that.

Regardless of how weak the British pound is, he is not worth more than six million of them. Sell Sell Sell

 

[franklyfrank]

Fair enough but he hasn't made a significant enough contribution to warrant keeping if £6 million was offered.

If you were asked about Riera's Liverpool career, how could you summarise it really ??? *shrugs*

It is Benitez' fault.

And no, it's not convenient. Riera was our best left winger.

Ryan hes a third choice Spanish international who probably wont be in South Africa. If we are offered 6million ( which I doubt) we should take hand and all
