Voronin on his way to Greece

[Hansern]

Greek side Panathinaikos are set to swoop for Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin in the January transfer window, according to reports.

Since joining the Reds on a free transfer in 2007, Voronin has struggled to break into the Liverpool first-team and is said to becoming increasingly unhappy with life at Anfield.

The Ukrainian international has played in just five games for Liverpool this season and has failed to find the back of the net in any of those matches.

It is thought that the Greek side are now willing to pay in the region of 1.5 million euros for Voronin’s services, who played his last game for Liverpool against Lyon in the Champions League.

Voronin’s current contract is due to expire at the end of the 2010/2011 campaign but Panathinaikos are hopefully of securing a deal for the striker in January.

He loves to tease does our Andriy

I suspect that they will need to offer him a big wage package to make it happen.

Good news for him and for us, IF it happens.

I wouldn't disagree with the glee in Voronins case, I don't think so anyway.
One thing does concern me though. It is this willingness for all concerned to dump the fringe players that has lead us to having such a threadbare squad. All that has happened is that we have rid ourselves of the salable ones, and be left with the crap that no one else really wants, for example Babel, Dossena and Voronin.
We would have got rid of them in the summer , but no one beat a path to our door for them.

Agree to an extent, Vlad, but (currently at least) if we don't sell we can't buy.

As far as not having moved them on yet goes, I saw a report yesterday (admittedly in the NOTW, hence to be taken with a pinch of salt, but still) that Rafa had priced these "bin end" players too highly last summer and that that was the main reason why they weren't sold, because there was some interest from other clubs. If that's true, I doubt he'd have done it had we not been short of wonga, which leaves him and the club with a conundrum now over what fees to charge.

I know he's shit sure he's worth more than 1.5 mill euros..

I've never played before and I'd probably fetch 1.3 mil euro so 1.5 for Voronin seems fair enough.

If you peruse the list of topics on the first page of FF, this is pretty much the only bit of really good news, aside from the 3 points of course.

To actually read the post and see comments like 'set to swoop' and 'hopefully' is very disconcerting >🙁

What was it that Benitez quacked on about when we signed that useless fat pony-tailed bellend?

'He plays very well between the lines'

Fuck. Right. Off.

What i actually think he meant was he plays well inbetween having one of these. Which is not very often.

What line? He could not see any if there is one.

 

[Terrier]

Probably one of the most useless strikers to have played for the club since Crocodile Dundee.

I'm all for getting rid of him and giving that Patchy lad a go, at least he played with some conviction, something I've never seen from Voronin.

Seems like Pana is the likely destination for anyone leaving Liverpool these days lol.

Biscan, Leto, Cisse....

Or they could join our other retirement home at Galatasaray (Kewell, Baros).
