Alberto Aquilani

What would an LFC forum be without the debate of Aquilani.


Alberto Aquilani insists there is no desperation on his part to leave Liverpool, admitting he would "love to make a mark" at Anfield this season.

Aquilani's big-money switch from Roma to Liverpool has failed to produce rewards so far, with the Italy international making less than 10 starts in his debut season. Earmarked as the replacement for Xabi Alonso, Aquilani fell a distance short of previous standards set by the Real Madrid man.

However, a year on loan at Juventus has revitalised the 27-year-old. Voted by many as Juventus' player of the season, Aquilani naturally wanted to stay where his football was succeeding, but a deal could not be negotiated.

Since then the creative midfielder has enjoyed an excellent pre-season, creating several goals for his Liverpool colleagues, suggesting he may have a future under the passing ethos of Kenny Dalglish. Speculation continues that Aquilani will leave, with Fiorentina strongly linked, but the Italian insists he will knuckle down if he remains at Liverpool.

"I'd love to make my mark at Liverpool. The transfer market is open until August 31, so we'll see what happens," Aquilani said. "All I can say is that there has been a lot of talk. Obviously I would takethe offer of a permanent move into consideration with Liverpool.

"I wasn't following the Italian media much over the summer, but whatever happens I am at a great club like Liverpool.

He has the squad number 15 this morning, he's moving up the pecking order
Enrique's got number 3

He was one of the best players in Pre-Season, yeah pre-season doesn't count for an awful lot but we all know Raul cannot play a full 90 minutes as he normally dies out about the hour mark, AA would be perfect to come on and do the same role. I loved watching him during the pre-season he was immense and I hope he features this season.

Rumous AC have pulled out of any possible deal

ac milan deal seems back on

6m. Cheap enough tbh, thought he would be at least closer to ten.
Installments aswell

The fact that he wasnt even included in the Sunderland squad was an indicator he was gone, he put himself in the shop window in the pre season friendlies. Its a shame as he obviously dosent want to be here and Kenny isnt arsed to pursuade him otherwise so ill take Kennys opinion on it rather than anyone else. Good luck hope its finally sorted and im glad its not another loan.

Glad for the lad it will be sorted one way or another.
Tbh, one or two of the players that KENNY wants, could have done with the game time in preseason .

Done loan,Milan will buy him for £5 million in June 2012. Aquilani getting £875,000 as pay off from Liverpool.

Sweet mother of fuck

Ah for F sake. Loan ? When does he get this pay off. Will we get a loan fee for him

Pay off will be next season I Imagine.
Loan fee prob not, just the 5m next season

Where this comming from, can't find any links,

Please god don't say Twitter

Disapointed tbh, think he could have done something for us, maybe it will allow us bring someone else in.

Can't wait to hear the usual ' I told you so ' experts

My cousin
Ask him where he got it from now
