Dossena to Liverpool

[Hellboy]17 · 4th June 2008, 17:30

Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Italian full-back Andrea Dossena from Udinese.

The defender is expected to undergo a medical at Anfield on Wednesday, with the Reds keen to push through a £7million deal.

The 26-year-old is due to get married this weekend and Rafa Bentiez wants the final details completed before then.

Udinese were hoping to hold out for £8million for the player, but a compromise between the two clubs has now been reached.

Dossena will become Liverpool's second capture of the summer, joining fellow full-back Philip Degen in completing a move to Merseyside.

The Italian's agent confirmed that the formalities of the transfer were almost complete and expects the deal to go through without any problems.

"Everything is confirmed and we have already exchanged documents via fax," said Federico Pastorello.

"The deal is practically done."

An other impressive signing

Have you seen much of him?

Best left back in the world according to that dozy blogsite. Even though he couldn't make the Italian squad for Euro 2008.

M'n'M · 4th June 2008, 17:33

He must be shite.

[Hellboy]17 · 4th June 2008, 17:36

If he is as good as Degen, it's perfect for their title bid.

Dozy blogsite is edited by one of the united supporters on here I'd say.

KeyserSoze · 4th June 2008, 17:37

Not the sort of signing that is going to make your team bridge the gap between yourselves and the best team in Europe, thats for sure.

Another average player bought from an average team. He can't be that good or he would have surely scaled the heights of Serie A by this stage.

Who the fuck is Dossena?

Here they go again. Buying a few mediocre players for a mediocre price then complaining they can't afford the best. Surely Torres taught them a lesson.

REd FUn DevIl · 4th June 2008, 18:18

So Dossena and Degen for the full backs.

Surely two signings to challenge for next season, probably not.

prateik · 4th June 2008, 18:42

their most expensive defender ...
squirtel was the most exp at 6.5m ... now 7 m ..

dossena - squirty - agger - carreghar

aggar is probably the best of the lost ..

If he isnt shit now he soon will be

Liverpool set for Dossena capture

Liverpool are hoping to complete the signing of Udinese full-back Andrea Dossena next week.

Reds chief executive Rick Parry confirmed a deal for the 26-year-old Italian is almost done.

"We are now ready to confirm the signing of Dossena. The deal should go through next week," Parry told the club's official website.

Dossena will be seen as an ideal replacement for John Arne Riise who signed for Roma earlier this month.

The Norwegian spent seven years at Anfield and Parry paid tribute to the former Monaco player.

"John was an incredibly enthusiastic defender who was always a great pro," he told the club's official website.

"He worked hard and never gave us a minute's trouble. The fans will remember that powerful shot of his that brought them to their feet on many occasions.

"We had a good chat about his time here and he wants to thank the fans for the support he was given down the years. He secured Champions League and FA Cup success at Anfield and also helped us win the Worthington Cup and two European Super Cups."

Dossena, who has been capped once by Italy, will become manager Rafael Benitez's second signing of the summer following the arrival of Swiss full-back Phillip Degen on a free transfer.

No sign of a price there.

Is he actually any good?

Don't know, but he looks like Eddie Hitler out of Bottom.

M'n'M · 26th June 2008, 17:11

About 6m I think and he is supposedly quite good. Like I would recommend the rest of you do I will reserve judgement until I have seen enough of him myself to comment.

GaryLifo · 27th June 2008, 14:27

He's clearly shit... he wants to play for Liverpool

[Hellboy]17 · 27th June 2008, 14:30

What I've seen of him he's not too shabby. Let's see how he adapts to life in TSPBLITFW (the self proclaimed best league in the fucking world)

Name Changed · 27th June 2008, 15:20

Average player, mid to late 20s, at an average Italian team, can't get near the Italian squad. If he was any use he would have been signed by a top italian club and he would be in the euro squad. It is not as if Italy have an abundance of players at the moment.

golden_blunder · 27th June 2008, 16:13

Italians cant play in England FACT

*apart from Ravanelli
