Bridge to the Dippers?

[Neville Kneville]

I can't see Liverpool spending one penny on Wayne Bridge. The only way I could see them signing him, is if they get him free as part of a deal for Torres.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

sorry bridge but i d let wayne go to pool.... as long as we keep garrido for cover!

 

[lee-mcfc]

dont rate bridge & garrido at all

but id rather keep bridge over garrido.

The article where Bale is mentioned in Italy is in relation to Juve who were interested in Kolarov but have now turned their attention to Bale not us!

How would letting Bridge go to Liverpool improve our rivals.

Only joking IMO we should keep Bridge as he will eventually come good and is better cover than Garrido.

Liverpool Set To Swoop For Manchester City Defender Wayne Bridge
Reds look to Citizen Bridge...

Liverpool are targeting Manchester City defender Wayne Bridge as the solution to their acute left-back problem, Goal.com UK understands.

Manager Roy Hodgson, having sold Emiliano Insua to Fiorentina and allowed Fabio Aurelio to leave, is ready to pay around £6 million for the former England international.

Bridge has three years remaining on the contract with Manchester City that he signed in January 2009 after a £10m move from Chelsea. However, with the imminent arrival of Aleksandar Kolarov from Lazio for a fee of £17m and the fact that another of Manchester City’s summer signings, Jerome Boateng, played left-back for Germany in this summer’s World Cup, he is unlikely to be given many first-team opportunities at Eastlands - and according to sources close to the player would see Liverpool as a practical alternative.

Since his arrival in Switzerland to take charge of the club’s pre-season preparations, Hodgson has maintained that left-back is a priority position to fill, and he has been linked with Sampdoria’s Reto Ziegler.

“We are short in that area and we do need to find a replacement for Emiliano and Fabio as quickly as possible,” he said before last night’s goalless draw with Grasshoppers Zurich, when he also confirmed that Albert Riera would be allowed to leave for Olympiakos with Philipp Degen likely to go to Stuttgart for a fee of £1.5m.

Last season Bridge was dogged by a knee injury and poor form that saw him feature in just over half of City’s Premier League games, although he was given strong support from manager Roberto Mancini during the John Terry affair that prompted his international retirement.

This is not the first time that Bridge has contemplated a move to Anfield – he was the subject of a £6m offer from Rafael Benitez in 2008.

I'd let him go as long as we get a good deal, he isn't good enough for where were trying to go and people forget, he is on stupid wages here, wages that a player of his calibre should be know where near. Liverpool are desperate for British players as well, so I can see this happening. If we get Kolarov, I'd be happy for Garrido and Cunningham to deputise in the few games that Kolarov may miss.

Problem is, if Kolarov breaks his leg or something we're a bit fooked then. Unless, that is, we move Lescott to LB as he has experience playing there and apparently performed quite well for Everton in that role.

Never done it for me can only see him as a squad member at best, if the deals good for us let him go.Onwards and upwards.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

They'll be pissing themselves if they can get bridge in for £6 million after selling insua for 5. It would be a joke
