Mark Gonzalez (to Real Betis)

Real Betis are interested in Liverpool winger Mark Gonzalez.
Betis coach Luis Fernandez rates the Chile international highly and hopes to bring the former Albacete midfielder back to Spain next season.

Gonzalez has struggled for form and fitness this term and Betis directors are convinced they can prise him away from Anfield with an offer of £3 million.

£3 million.  Not sure about the merits of that offer?

Will Gonzalez get another season. We certainly held out for him for a long time?  He seemed to excel in Spain so he must be worth more to Betis than £3 million?

I personally don't think he will go.  At his age probably deserves another crack at it next season.

Agreed. Rafa isn't the sort to let players go after one season.
Thats only if your Kromkamp.

mark gonzalez and olivier kapo are objetives of betis for the next season according to it says the press.   
I me do not create it, I do not see lopera (owner of the club) spending much money

They can have him, very average player

give him one more year to proove his worth

I'd give him more than one more year to prove his worth, he is only 22 he shown glipses of what he can do

betis does not bring lent players, we say here: I do not raise chicks so that others eat them

He had a good game against Arsenal.  Rafa won't ditch him after one season.

I can't see him going either. He hasn't adjusted to the physical side of the prem yet, that's why he usually goes missing in games. Needs some time to adjust and then he'll hopefully be able to impose himself down the wing a lot more. For the work that went in to getting him, it would be daft to offload him so soon.

He needs to be more confident taking players on.. also i think he has built up too much muscle because he lost lost a yard or 2 of pace since last season. His thighs are too bulky

No I don't think Rafa will let him go this season. He is only young after all. We need to keep the likes of Gonzalez because they will gain experience from the Premiership and the Champions League. Which will make them better players.

I think Rafa should give him another chance, he is only 22 and needs to adjust from Spanish football which is a lot less physical than the premiership.

I hope you dont make a habit of looking at mens thighs Rafa and I'm glad to see you have stopped posting on the hot man thread.
In my opinion Gonzo needs another year i know a lot of players get the excuse of "he's settling in" but in his case i think its true. I wish he would take the man on more as he always seems to go so far then turn and pass back or inside, maybe he lacks confidence also i would agree with Ra Ra Rafa about the point of his weight as he does appear to be chunkier than before, not on the thighs though!

I think he should get another crack next season.  He has been out with injuries, so it's not fair to say get rid of him already...give him another shot I say...

gonzales is a good playa he wont go for 3 million

No way Benitez is going to sell him after we chased him for so long. He needs at least two years to settle. Hes come from a country completly different to England and hes only 22. Kewell took ages to play well but last season he was one of our best players. You can even look at people like Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo they both took a while to settle in but are now two of best players in the world. We are to hasty on judging players. Give Gonzalez 2 years and he will be one of the best wingers in the premiership.

one more season....then bye bye. as for pennant he is from these shores...knows the game and has been poor

another season... then will see if he is the right man.

needs some time to adjust to the premiership i think he could be a very good player for us. Maybe next season if he stays clear of injuries and gets a good run.

Although Gonzalez hasnt shown his full potential at LFC, i truely believe he is worth more than 3m and his performance when he was on load in spain proves this, and should he be let go, which i dont think he will after only 1 season and all the trouble we went to to finally sign him, but if he does go, i think he will go for double that in spain!!

b4 Gonzarlez signed 4 us he looked to be a great winger but has'nt shown his true potential yet, personally add give him another season b4 letting go, but there is a great replacement i believe Quaserma would be a brillant player to sign in the summer wot evey1 think

buying winger form abroad is tricky because they all want more time on the ball,, take robben at chelsea, he hates tacking and working back, rafa wants a chap who does at least run back and get behined the ball and close down the space, to help out the defenders,, wright phillips is crap at positional play but great at putting a cross over plus hes faster then any of the wide men we have,,,,,, gonzalez has been a total watse of money,, riise is better there at the moment and thats saying something,,,,, a fit kewell over gonzalez any day of the week at least he gets behined the ball and plays more tactickly....... the only winger who is the best by a mile is that sh*t at old trafford..........  lennon is fast and tricky but to inexperienced and not good enough for us,,,, simao i have big doubts of his attitude and if he wanted to play for us he could of done by now,,,,,,, joaquin went to valencia for big money and would have been great but even he has done nothing over 2 years........ buying a winger on left or right side is hard.......
