Liverpool line up signing of new defender...

[Will317]

Liverpool are interested in signing a new decent defender, the main thing the team now need to strengthen up imo, and the common opinion is that it will be Malaga's Josemi. :thumbsup:
Here's the full story...

Liverpool have confirmed they are in talks with Malaga defender Josemi over a transfer to Anfield. Josemi, 24, is set to sign a four-year deal to become manager Rafael Benitez's first signing for the Reds.
"I am really happy because this is an unbeatable opportunity. If I was ever going to leave Malaga, it was for something like this."
Josemi, real name Jose Miguel Gonzales Rey, began his career at Torremolinos and can play right-back or centre-back.
Josemi added: "I was speaking to Benitez, he has put his faith in me and I will work to make sure things turn out well. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. Now everybody has to be happy, because it's a proud moment for everybody connected with me. I wasn't expecting the move, but this has all happened in two days and everything has worked out in an instant. For me, it's what I've always dreamed about and now I have the chance to play in a big team, I have to take advantage of it. I still haven't taken it in and when I get there I will try to adapt bit by bit. I have to adapt well and be patient."

Well Josemi is an ok player, but it's not what a team needs to strenghten a defense, maybe as a back-up for another player, because he's not that good to be a starter in a team like Liverpool.

Well he's sure to improve over the years. You never know, he could be good enough to start, in a while. But I agree that he's probably not ready just yet, it would perhaps be a good idea to sign a stronger defender for the meantime.

Of course he can improve, but he's not ready yet, he doesn't have any international experience. I think that Liverpool could've signed a better defender.

Maybe they still will, there's time left before the season starts...

I think they won't, 'cause if they were thinking on it, the rumour must be in the media by now, there's time left, but not so much.
