Liverpool go for a mid-season re-build

Liverpool 09/10 | Friday 8 January 2010 by Richard Blayney

Since Liverpool’s game with Spurs has been postponed this weekend due to bad weather Rafa Benitez has decided to relieve his boredom by making a bunch of changes to the squad before the January window closes.

Argentinian winger Maxi Rodriguez (can we call him M-Rod?) is set to come in from Athletico Madrid on the cheap while transfer flop Andrea Dossena has left for Napoli in Italy and fellow flop Andriy Voronin is heading to Moscow. Actually, the Voronin deal seems like a good bit of business, Liverpool got him for free and are set to shift him for £2m – a fleecing you could say.

Rodriguez is a winger who could definitely help Liverpool so here is hoping something can be worked out. The money involved is in the low millions and with some of these sales also taking place it is now evidant that Rafa is having to sell to buy and his ‘wheeling and dealing’ skills, normally left to managers outside the top five or six teams, will be tested.
