Barry overpriced as Reds eye Silva
by Ben Blackmore, 10 August 2008
The name of David Silva has aligned itself with Liverpool after chief executive Rick Parry all-but-ruled-out the signing of Gareth Barry.
Parry confirmed that Aston Villa’s asking price has been deemed too expensive by the Liverpool board – who only saw Barry as a necessary purchase when Xabi Alonso appeared to be heading to Juventus.
Alonso’s immediate future will be tied to Liverpool when he becomes cup-tied in Europe on Wednesday, with Benitez left with no other option than to play the visionary passer due to the Olympic commitments of Javier Mascherano and Lucas Leiva.
And that will bring Silva’s name to the top of Benitez’s wishlist, after the Liverpool manager admitted his squad if short of a left-sided player on Saturday.
Silva has snubbed a new Valencia contract, and the Liverpool board are reportedly ready to give the green light to a £16 million player whom they feel is a more necessary purchase than Barry.
Parry cleared up The Reds’ stance on Barry, telling the Liverpool website: "There has been a lot of comment regarding our position with regards to Gareth Barry.
"This is not about questioning the manager's judgment or the ability of a particular player. The owners have clearly demonstrated throughout the year they are willing to back Rafa in the transfer market and will continue to do so.
"It is obviously the selling club's prerogative to put whatever price they want on the player, but on this occasion Liverpool think the price quoted is too high." |
