Emilio Izaguirre (Celtic)

Liverpool convinced beating Man Utd for Celtic fullback Izaguirre

Liverpool believe they can convince Emilio Izaguirre to choose them over Manchester United this summer.

The Mirror says Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish saw the cavalier Celtic defender in top form - setting up the second goal in the Old Firm win over Rangers at Parkhead - and will be in the race for him this summer.

Izaguirre is also on Manchester United's wanted list.

But the Merseysiders are looking at him as a first-team player rather than the Old Trafford plan to land him as a squad man.

Not a bad player,Could do a lot better.Played well his last 2 games but the Scottish league is very weak.

Know nothing about the lad but can't see him being on top of the list of left backs we are watching

Really good player, get him in.

Evra just signed a new deal with the mancs, so if we want him, then we should be top in the pecking order. Celtic rave about him, and speaking to a Celtic fan, he was resigned to losing him to the premier league next season.

Hypocrisy at its finest

He looked really good in moments against Rangers this week then other times looked like he was running in to a brick wall, still looks like a decent player though.

For £4.5m it's probably a good shout.

To be honest YNWA I don't want us to be targetting a lad that nearly signed for a MLS team before Celtic came in. He was also on the verge of signing for Ipswich a couple of seasons ago, not a great pedigree to be honest.

 Ya from reports he has had a decent first half of the season but f**k me has the Scottish league ever been so poor, look at how Anthony Stokes is doing there. I think I could play left back for Celtic

Or maybe I could pretend like some people on here to see a lad play but really just checked his stats on the internet.

I've seen him play a number of times and think very highly of him.

Against what quality of opposition and What you think of Anthony Stokes

I rate this lad higher than Stokes, Stokes didn't even start at the weekend and well I've seen him play agianst Rangers twice and probably two or three other times agianst lower quality spl sides which I admit is a pretty poor standard.

I've seen him play, think he's got a bit of quality to him but more along the lines of mid-table in the prem for me.

We should be aiming higher.

Never seen him play. Just heard of him the other week when Man United were rumoured to want him.

Another lad that wants a move to Barc, his agent has come out today and said he would have a heart attack if he signed for Barc.

Said he would be perfect for them. Whatever about Eriksen this lad is F***ing deluded

Mate think you posted in the wrong thread...

No this lads agent said that today

No this lads agent said that today

Izzaguire? Because you said Eriksen is F***ing deluded which is the one who wants to go to Barcelona.

Think he meant Eriksen has reason to believe he could go to Barca but Izaguirre is F***ing deluded.

Exactly crouch. Both players want to goto barc

Liverpool mull over move for Celtic left-back Emilio Izaguirre

24th May, 2011

Liverpool are considering a move for Celtic’s impressive left-back Emilio Izaguirre but Bhoys boss Neil Lennon is determined to keep the Honduras international.

Izaguirre was named the Scottish Premier Leagues players’ player of the year after a fine debut season, and Reds boss Kenny Dalglish is believed to be weighing up a bid for the 25-year-old.

Newcastle’s Jose Enrique is another Anfield target, but Dalglish may see the Celtic full-back as the easier alternative, as Toon manager Alan Pardew continues to dig his heels in over Enrique.

Lennon though is not less bullish in his approach to hanging on to his star players, and has previously issued words of warning for any clubs interested in Izaguirre or team-mate Beram Kayal.

‘With these guys, even in the summer, the timing might not be right to sell,’ insisted the Northern Irishman.

‘We’re building a team here and it might be difficult to replace these players.

'I would be surprised if we need to sell in the summer. I haven't sat down with Peter (Lawwell) or anyone from the board on that aspect of things - but any offers that do come in will be treated with hostility.’

Right so is this now 151 or 152 players we've been linked to?

I'm still saying we should get him, think he's brilliant.
