I believe the "spanish correspondent" confirmed that to be the case a while back. :unsure:

 

Of course we all know he's a fake so I guess he just got lucky. ;)

Everyone confirmed it a while back. It's been over the press and well known amongst LFC circles since forever.

"Benitez will welcome at least three new faces to Melwood when the players return, with Aurelio joining fellow South American Gabriel Paletta and new striker Craig Bellamy.

 

Unfortunately, Mark Gonzalez will still need to await clearance from the department for education and employment, although that decision is anticipated a week today.

 

Ideally, Benitez wants at least a fifth new face to join the club by then - followed by another two before the transfer deadline."

 

Em - who's the 7th player? Bellamy, Paletta, Gonzalez, Aurelio, Alves, Kuyt and ???

So our transfer budget is £20mill plus what Rafa gets from sales and it looks like Alves or Kuyt not both?

Aurelio on a free ; Paletta for £2m ; Bellamy £6m ; Alves £10m (someone on RAWK saying we have agreed terms now) ; but no money left over for Kuyt without selling?

 

Morientes sold for £3m meaning our budget was £15m?

 

Can't see it meself. If Rafa wants Kuyt we will get him, but we do need to get rid of a few (Dudek/Traore/Le Tallec/Pongolle/Cisse loan).

The article also suggests he ideally wants to sign AN Other as well.

Pennant/Cover for Alonso.

 

That's what I was thinking and it would make sense, but then there has been mysterious 'hints' at another unknown player by a few of the 'in the know' posters.

It might well be at the moment although Bascombe seems to think if Alves falls through we'll go for Pennant and Kuyt so maybe £18m or something. We have an enormous squad and havent qualified for the money spinning CL yet, it's hardly a shock.

Exactly. £15 million now, another £10mil (ish) if we qualify... isn't that what we usually do?

7th could be a random squad or youth player. Not necessarily a big signing. probably wouldn't have heard of him.

 

Squad player certainly but I don't think Bascombe is including youth players in that analysis. Supposed to be more than one of them arriving anyway.

Plan A buy Alves, sell some deadwood, watch the ground settle, buy Kuyt for a decent price, and Pennant for a decent price if still available

 

Plan B buy Pennant, look for an early deal on Kuyt involving deadwood, sell some players, see if Seville will be sensible about a deeply unsettled Alves

So we have a choice of what we do with £13 - £15mill.

 

Viduka and Alves or Kuyt and Pennant

At a guess i'd say that'd be about right. Think thats what Bascombe is getting at with his "Benitez wants a fifth signing in the next week, then two more before the deadline" ie early August if we've mauled someone in the first leg or late August if we havent. Providing we get through that is, which we should.
