Maxi Rodriguez (Espanyol)

Mundo Deportivo is reporting that Espanyol are talking to Maxi's agent about going back to Espanyol but his wages will be the stumbling block.

More rubbish paper talk I assume? 

have we got a decent source for this? I doubt he'd leave after 6 months...

Jesus christ, papers getting desperate in Spain?

Ha!

Join a club for 6 months

Leave after 6 months for Espanyol


Seems credible

Yeah but with talks of Nando and Masch leaving, probably the 3 main reasons he joined the club might very well leave/ have already left :/

Don't think he will go though.

F**k me purslow will sell anyone barring Gerrard and Torres, put in a half arsed bid and you'll probably buy anyone at our club.

Jesus it really must be really slow in the transfer market

How the feck do people actually think these stories up 

Liverpool look to offload midfield misfit Maxi Rodriguez to Espanyol but Spanish side's loan demands could prove hitch

Maxi Rodriguez has been told he can leave Liverpool and is expected to complete a move to Spanish side Espanyol, according to reports in the Catalan press.
New boss Roy Hodgson has deemed the Argentina midfielder surplus to requirements as he rebuilds the Reds' squad but a transfer fee could yet prove a stumbling block in any switch back to his former club, reports El Mundo Deportivo.

Espanyol are seeking a loan deal for Maxi with a view to a permanent move at the end of the season, should the player impress. Liverpool are thought to want a permanent transfer.

However, a deal could go through within a matter of days with the two clubs said to be in advanced talks.
 
 Maxi has made just 17 appearances for Liverpool after signing a three-and-a-half-year deal in last season's January transfer window.

He spent three years playing for Espanyol between 2002-2005 before a move to the Vicente Calderon, where he fell out of favour last term before the £1.5million move to Anfield.

Daily Fail

It would be F***ing silly to sell this guy

Since when has he been a misfit? Load of bull

That was my thinking, I got Maxi on the back of my shirt on the basis he signed a 3.5 year deal, would be stupid to sell him!

Biggest misfit of last season?

You kidding me, he was quality

We may as well put tw*t on our foreheads if we sell him

I'm sure that the club will bear that in mind... ;-)

For sure!

F**k me purslow will sell anyone barring Gerrard and Torres, put in a half arsed bid and you'll probably buy anyone at our club.

If no firm bids arise, I expect Purslow may start selling raffle tickets instead, luck of the draw then.

Makes absolutely no sense to sell him!  Even if we were to get around 5-7 million for him (which is way over the fee being projected), who could we buy to replace him for similar value?  The answer is no one!  The market offers very little true value for money these days, and we would be best suited to keep a player with so much quality and experience.  Plus he will be eligible for the Europa League this time around.

I think every single player must be getting sold now according to the papers. I doubt Woy will let Maxi go, he's a good player to have around.

Pure ridiculous.

I think I must have missed the point at which he was regarded a 'misfit' at the club.

Don't worry we wont need a team next season, its a new sport you just play our new signing the left back on 110,000 a day.

"made just 17 appearances since joining in January."

F**k me. He couldn't possibly have made much more than that. Thinking about it. Except for Reina, Gerrard and Carragher, prolly not many players have got more than 17 since January. Absolute bollocks story.

Especially as he was cup tied for the Europa Ligue

Amazing

It just came in as Breaking News

Load O'sh*t.

Since when has he been a misfit?

Since "Roy" decided that he didn't FIT into his plans maybe....  

Sure we've got Kuyt  

Load O'sh*t.

What's a load of sh*t Eem - the story or the act of getting rid of Maxi? 

Article is full of inaccuracies, Maxi was no misfit and he did not cost 1.5 mill, he was a free transfer, F**k me if they can't at least get them two right, how can you give the rest of the article any thought.

Aye you're probably right to dismiss the story as: a load of bollocks*/sh*te*/ridiculous* (*delete where appropriate) .........

*switches "sarcastic b***ard" mode off.

It'll either happen or it won't - it'll either be true or it won't. I guess we believe what we want.

Sadly, i believe that any F***ing thing is possible under the current regime and i'm cynical enough (at the moment) to believe any story (bar Torres) that links us with getting rid of on the cheap 'shedding' "Rafa's players".

Let's be honest here - the 'media' haven't been wrong on that front (so far).

Nah mate I'm basing it on the fact that the story originated from a Spanish news paper, then was picked up by the Daily Fail and they just rehashed it, with one or two inaccuracies.

I hope you're right. 

if the rumours are true ,do you reckon he wants to leave because his fellow countrymen are leaving,it was on SSN that he wants to move

The source says he signed for 1.5m.

He was free, dickheads

What's a load of sh*t Eem - the story or the act of getting rid of Maxi? 

The story, hopefully.

Don't want to see Maxi go.

Agree it would be extremely harsh to get rid of him after only 6 months, was rather surprised to see the story reported on SSN though, for me Maxi is a good squad player who's versatile and put in a couple of solid performances last year. Not to mention that financially we'd get barely anything for him anyway!

Its been on SSN?

Mundo Deportivo is bullsh*te

I F***ing hope this isnt true because he set a fair few goals up last season, one of our better performers.

Its F***ing Woy's problems with his R's

Wodwigez.

The source says he signed for 1.5m.

He was free, dickheads

you can put your dummy back in now

For such a poor team (apparently) why the fck are our players  getting all the attention fck if the prem was about column inches we would be walking away with it right now.

I've had more accurate and truthful shites...

I've had more accurate and truthful shites...

I know an old lady who reads them, like tea bags and Palms.

Getting rid of such a good and versatile player would be so stupid that I don't even want to think about it.

He signed for a new club in the middle of the season, of course it wouldn't be easy to adapt, especially considering the kind of football we were playing, but he was slowly getting better and in the end I think he was a quality signing. I hope we'll see the best of him this season.

you can put your dummy back in now

Don't quite think that was needed really. It wasn't aimed at you.

He could leave with both insua and masch looking on their way out he would be the only argentine there plus with Torres only 2 spanish speakers at the club in the senior team..no benitez..Foot ball wise hes not getting chps lge off us anyway so not too much to keep him here..

I think hes a quality addition to the team and would do much better out on the right than the left.. Gerrard said its a dream to play with him but wouldnt surprise if he left for personal reasons..

Will be gutted if maxi was moved on,love his commitment on the field and has a bubbly aura about him.

Is this a piss take why exactly would we sell this lad, F**k me does Purslow want to sell the whole squad, F**k me we are fu**ed.

How about sell Maxi to partially finance a move for Turan...?

Didn't think it was a slow news day with all the Masch stuff going on, so where did they pluck this sh*t from?  

Here we have an Argie who is a quality and then is labelled as a misfit?

Please Journo's reading this, go spout some sh*t about everton

Maxi Rodriguez ready to join Liverpool exodus

Maxi Rodriguez is ready to join the exodus What "Exodus" from Liverpool, with his old club Espanyol keen to take him back to Spain in a bargain deal.You can sod off, we may have got him on a free but FFS

The Argentinian wide man only joined Rafa Benitez’s club last season but maymore wishy washy journalism not be a major part of Roy Hodgson’s plans and his agents have already made contact with the Barcelona-based team.

Rodriguez played for Espanyol at the start of his career in La Liga and would be welcomed back, although the fee may not be much for the former Atletico Madrid star.

Hodgson has several players on the wanted list of foreign clubs in the wake of Benitez’s departure and the Rodriguez move will depend on the size of the bid - and whether the Kop can find a suitable repalcement.Spelling you dick head

What a non article, may this, could that, FACTS is what makes a good Journalism, this is a STORY of make believe.

Edit: Slap my own wrist, for got the link!

Ahh piss off (not you RedPuppy)! The stupid journalists who keep making bullshit articles up.

After a bit of research it would seem that this 'story' is, as many of you suggested - a load of sh*te and bollocks.

El ejecutivo del Espanyol ha declarado que la noticia del interés del club en Maxi, cinco años después de dejar el Espanyol al ser fichado por el Atlético de Madrid y, posteriormente, por el Liverpool, "ha sido una sorpresa incluso para mí".

The executive said that news of the club's interest in Maxi, five years after leaving Espanyol to be signed for Atletico Madrid and then to Liverpool, "was a surprise even to me."

As best i can translate it from here: http://www.elmundodeportivo.es/gen/20100727/53972541327/noticia/el-espanyol-admite-que-el-regreso-de-maxi-rodriguez-es-inviable.html

I shouldn't have doubted you.  

so i can be a journalist with bad spelling

Where do i sign up?

Slow day for the media

As someone who was surprised when I saw the story hopefully it looks like it is a load of sh*t. To be honest as someone who reads the spanish papers a lot they are worse then ours. All this talk of secret agreements between Barcelona, Fabregas and Arsenal is laughable. The agreement is so secret that no one knows anything about it !

As for SSN why don't they build a permanent studio outside Anfield - I look forward to the breaking news that SSN reporter is rushed to hospital to have microphone removed from asshole

I know an old lady who reads them, like tea bags and Palms.

Put years on me as well Daz sifting through turds looking for a subliminal messages.

I think Wodwigez is staying, if you look on the official site, no pic of Masch in the new shirt, but Maxi is, and he looks happy to be wearing it!
