Liverpool flop Aquilani follows Hodgson's advice and agrees loan move to Juventus

Liverpool have announced an agreement with Juventus for Alberto Aquilani to return to Serie A on loan this season.
Aquilani will join The Old Lady for a year subject to a medical - to be held on Monday - in a bid to gain regular first-team football.

The Italian joined the Anfield club from Roma a year ago to replace Real Madrid-bound Xabi Alonso but persistent injury problems limited his impact under previous boss Rafael Benitez, who has since been replaced by Roy Hodgson.
Hodgson recently acquired Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen from Juve, but speculation continues to link Javier Mascherano with a move to Spain or Italy.
Aquilani's exit, therefore, threatens to leave the Reds' midfield ranks depleted should the Argentina skipper secure his move away with Barcelona and Inter Milan sniffing around.
Former Inter boss Hodgson has seemingly kept one wolf at the door by receiving assurances from his old friend, Inter president Massimo Moratti, that they would not poach any of his stars.
'I spoke to Massimo Moratti on Wednesday about the fact that they are not going to buy any Liverpool players, and (Dirk) Kuyt comes into that category,' Hodgson told liverpoolfc.tv.
'I believe Inter were only interested in two of our players and they are not going to buy them. Moratti said they are not going to do that. Kuyt is not for sale.'

£20m transfer fee, £2m in wages and £000's in rehab costs for how many games? Shocking waste of money

Definitely got to go down as one of the worst pieces of business in LFC history.

Roostermarty got this one right, no doubt about it.

No question, stupid thing is that return-wise Rafa was always going to start miles behind the 8-ball on this bloke, at least Roy is attempting to somewhat cut the losses I guess.

Liverpool announced they had accepted a new improved offer from Barcelona for Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano, with a deal set to be concluded this weekend.

"Liverpool Football Club have agreed terms for the transfer of Javier Mascherano to FC Barcelona," a Liverpool statement confirmed.

"The Spanish club have now been given permission to speak to the Argentina midfielder."

Mascherano has been desperate to leave Anfield but up to now Barcelona had failed to meet or come to close to the £25 million ($43.7m) price tag Liverpool had put on the Argentina captain.

Going Red?: Liverpool look to have sealed a move to sign Portuguese star Raul Meireles by agreeing a £10.7m fee with Porto, according to reports in the English media.

The Guardian has reported that Meireles will become Liverpool's latest signing, along with Fulham's Paul Konchesky, in a bid to replace Barcelona bound Javier Mascherano.

One of the most impressive players for Portugal's World Cup campaign this summer, the 27-year-old is understood to have agreed personal terms with a deal expected to be completed over the weekend.

Following Mascherano's forceful exit from the Merseyside club, which seems to have angered Reds boss Roy Hodgson, Liverpool have sought for a cheaper replacement after couping £20m deal from Mascherano's proposed Barca switch.

Meireles is available for a low fee because he only has two years of his contract left and Porto have been trying to sell him rather than risk losing him on a free transfer in the future.

The Daily Mail says Brazilian Lucas looks likely to leave Anfield permanently, as his family have not settled on Merseyside.

West Ham and Italian sides Inter Milan and Palermo are watching developments.

Skysports.com understands Paul Konchesky is currently undergoing a medical with Liverpool.

The Reds agreed a fee with Fulham for the left-back on Friday evening and he was given permission to travel to Merseyside to hold talks.

As revealed by skysports.comLiverpool have offered young duo Lauri Dalla Valle and Alex Kacaniklic to Fulham as part of the deal to bring the defender to Anfield.

Fulham cleared the way for Konchesky to leave Craven Cottage after sealing a move for Mexican defender Carlos Salcido from PSV Eindhoven on Friday.

Konchesky has been a long-term target for Reds boss Roy Hodgson ever since his arrival at Anfield earlier this summer.

Liverpool are hoping to tie up the move in the next 24 hours and the full-back is expected to stay on Merseyside to watch Liverpool's clash with West Brom on Sunday.

Lmao!!

On konchesky, he's not really a Liverpool type of player. He's just a trier.
I guess it's a sign of how far the mighty have fallen.

Indeed it is.
Although the Raul Meireles transfer looks like going ahead if Masch departs and the reports are pretty good on this player.

The only attraction to LFC at the moment is it's history/standing as a football club.
