Liverpool digging deep into their pockets as the transfer window reaches it's final stage
Aston Villa's new manager, Kenny Dalglish is rumored to be targeting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stewart-Downing-c34221 and Ashley Young in order to reinvigorate his side's midfield that has lacked creativity throughout the season so far.
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 manager, Roy Hodgson made inquiries about the Aston Villa players during the summer, but Martin O’Neil, the manager at that time, refused to part ways with the side's most influential players. But now that both managers are no longer at
their respective clubs, current Villa boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Houllier may be tempted to cash-in on the dynamic midfield duo, as he is looking to totally re-invent the Aston Villa side.
If these two moves materialize, it will signal a change in position for summer signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Cole-c18694, who, after mostly playing down the flanks under Roy Hodgson, will get to play in his preferred position- the center of midfield.
An asking price of over 14 million pounds may turn out to be a stumbling block in the move for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Young-c6813 as it may be beyond Liverpool's reach. But it is also expected that the new American owners will definitely give Dalglish enough funds in order to
aid Liverpool's revival.
It has also been believed that Ashley Young is not happy with Houllier's tactics, as he was played in the center of midfield under the former Liverpool boss, rather than his preferred position- the left wing.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also rumored to be interested in signing Bayern Munich captain and midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mark-van-Bommel-c24148. The experienced Dutchman will be a free agent this summer and is looking for greener pastures as he is reaching the final stages of his
playing career.
Liverpool are also in the market for a holding midfielder as summer signing, Poulsen, from Juventus, hasn't settled in at Anfield at all. The Danish international was a direct replacement for Mascherano, who left for Barcelona, but has made only 2 starts
in the season so far.
33-year old, Van Bommel is currently considering his options as other European and English clubs are also keen to sign the gutsy midfielder. Although Van Bommel says that he is proud to be with Bayern Munich, he has refused to give the German side any guarantee
regarding his future.
