Simão to Liverpool and Cissé's exit

As we approach the winter break the media is again saying Sim As the legend goes Liverpool offered 15 million Euros then Benfica asked for 18 and when Liverpool agreed to it Benfica raised the bar to 20 million Euros very close to the market close and the deal was suddenly off.

Now the media says Liverpool will get Sim I honestly don't believe it because of 2 reasons:

First, when Sim Secondly, Sim But now with the prospect of leaving Benfica for Liverpool he's sudenly woken up and has been fantastic this season once again and as his form rises it becomes VERY apparent that he's Benfica's best player by quite a distance. Not only is he the best but when he doesn't play it's like the team lack confidence BIG TIME, to say he carries the team on his back is not an exageration both on the pitch and animically.

Sim I don't believe for a second he goes for 12 million but if I was Benfica chairman for 18 million he'd definitely goes, too good a business to pbutt up.

If Benfica keeps losing over the coming month it will definitely be more difficult for Benfica to part with it's best player unless a great offer comes up with a lot of cash or possibly cash + player (CissZ).

I'm no Liverpool fan at all but if they pay 12 million euros plus Djibril CissZ for Sim Frankly as an outside observer I'm perplexed at the lack of appreciation for a great talent like CissZ by both Benitez and some fans, it's a good manager's job to make players work but Benitez can apparently afford to spend a fortune to bring him in and then just discards him rather than take the trouble to work with him and smooth out the rough edges. It's too easy to claim CissZ is a jerk or arrogant or whatever, why are they paying a manager if he can't sort this out in any other way other than getting rid of the player, it's what they do in smaller clubs when they can't afford to send players away just because he's incompatible with the manager.

Shame there's so few inter club deals in England these days a Robert Pires for Djibril CissZ swap might actually sound acceptable to moronic Benitez.

An Henry and CissZ forward line, oh baby.

A Cisse Henry forward line sounds good in theory, until when they break at speed and Henry pbuttes to Cisse then makes the run, and after an initial mis-control, Cisse's return pbutt ends up in the back of the stand. Cisses is in the wrong sport - he's not too old to switch to an olympic sprinter.
