Itk : from Liverpool fans including Quinny on talkshite.... They turned him down rather than vice Versa because they're so good after beating norwich that they don't need him and they're gonna come fourth!

Classic. And, much to the discredit of Liverpool fans, entirely believable.

Liverpool's final offer was £90,000 PW now and a clause that meant if we got back in CL while he was with us, his wages would increase to £120,000 (Same as Gerrard) and a match highest earner clause, meaning he'd always be highest or equal highest paid player.

They wouldn't accept anything less than 20% less than Gala offered AFTER TAX!! Utd did make a late enquiry but baulked at his demands because of there requests were after tax so he'd of been on like double what the likes of Rooney and RVP are paid.

Gala als made it clear that the player and his people had till first thing Tues morning to decide or they would pull out altogether which forced his hand some what (as couldn't afford to lose their very generous offer!!) as my mate reckons he was trying to buy time till deadline day if needs be, hoping to a PL team would make a deal.

It shows though what his true motivation is though and this combined with his age could of meant it was an extrememly expensive gamble for any English team to take!

Really? I think he's far more likely to win silverware at Galatasry than he would at Liverpool.

If true he really is more greedy than I thought and I'm not surprised at all now that Levy didn't show any interest in him

They'll challenge for 4th. No doubt.

sorry if you dont agree but those wages and the "after CL qualification clause" are very hard to believe considering the position liverpool are in financially and the age of wes? They wouldnt want him as top earner if he did a joe cole (failed sat around) but they still made the CL. Surely they are not stupid enough to do clauses like that. I find most of these liverpool stories very unreliable im afraid.

I cant see why they would tbh, RVP and sneider hate each others guts and they have plenty in that position and they need a DM now that fletcher has been told he will never be able to play again
