Rafa seriously looking at Falcao
Several press reports are suggesting that Rafa is targeting a sneaky swoop for the highly rated Colombian national and River Plate superstar Radamel Falcao Garcia Zarate. The crafty forward know as “Falcao” is one of South America’s top rated footballers.In 2007 he was elected “XI of America” which is a prestigious annual survey voted by South American Sports journalists. His father, Radamel García, played professionally as a defender in Colombia. Falcao is named after the 1980s Brazilian and Roma legend Falcão…no relation.Falcao was most recently linked to Benfica until LFC came along and made a comparable bid. He’s been linked with several EPL such as Aston Villa, Arsenal and Manchester United during last years January transfer window.Falcao has been quoted as saying he dreams of playing in England. Liverpool is looking to snatch him right from under Benfica’s noses. Although Liverpool’s offer is slightly lower than Benfica’s, Falcao has the last decision on his ultimate future destination. With Rock star looks and talent to match the Colombian is not your stereotypical footballer, he is a devout Christian and a leader of a number of Church youth groups. He will bring instant maturity and discipline to any team he joins. Kakasek?!His scoring record of 34 goals in 88 League games (71 starts) for his current club Argentinean giants River Plate is well regarded. However "El Tigre" struggles to find the back of the net in his limited starts on the big stage with his national side. The player is renowned for his pace and lighting fast lateral movement. He has gifted ability to shoot cannons from distance with both feet.Falcao is remarkably strong in the air despite his modest height of 5 ft 9. He evolved in River Plate after moving from an out and out striker’s role into a more withdrawn CF position. His versatilityand hustle is one of the many reasons Rafa covets this player. Although he plays up top in Argentina and is known a striker, I prefer to see him in an attacking mid-fielder role complementing Steven Gerrard. The physicality of the Premiership will take it toll on the injury prone player if Rafa sticks him upfront. Falcao has suffered from a number of injuries since 2006 as a direct result of tearing his anterior cruciate. However, the versatile striker is back to full fitness and is living up to his early hype when he first caught our attention in the U17 World Cup.Do you think this is a wise buy for Liverpool? Have you seen Falcao in action? What do you think of him?more -

Mash leaving? Not so fast says' Rafa.
‘Barcelona could not afford to match his value to Liverpool Football Club. says Rafa. The reds publicly told Barcelona that the player is valued at least £50 million, and now Benitez has even gone as far to say that no other offers will even be looked at. He is imperative to the sucess of LFC. If he is sold the Reds will have a high hill to climb next season. The Argentinan's agent is to blame for the latest transfer rumors. Like all sleaze bag agents he's looking to move his client at the best intrest of himself and not the player. The gaffer is livid with the player’s agent for his interview on the spanish radio station soliciting the players services to other clubs.
In a nutshell sport agents are charlatans and can't be trusted. more‘So I was surprised to see the agent’s comments today. He has a long contract and any club can forget about bidding for him. They can offer £40m or even £50m, we don’t want to sell.’
