Michael Turner (Hull City)

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Hull City centre-half Michael Turner as they plan a long-term successor to Sami Hyypia.

They could make a move for him next month or wait until the end of the season. Turner - a shrewd capture from Brentford - has starred for Phil Brown's Tigers side and would command a huge fee if Liverpool decide he is the man to eventually replace 35-year-old Hyypia.

No thanks

I would rather give that roles to one of the younger CB's coming through the system like Hobbs, San Jose, Huth or Antwi.

Is that from The People? 

Garbage it is then!

What?
Long term replacement for Hyypia?

Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel. Absolute rubbish.

Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel make a great partnership.

Command a huge fee?

Stick with our own Youth system please!

  IN YOUR DREAMS TURNER!!!!!!

Turner ain't a terrible player, but still, Agger and Skrtel aswell as some younger players like Hobbs

Load of rubbish...

Hyypia,agger,Skrtel,Carra,hobbs,kelly.all in front of turner!!!

I'd say he s better than Kelly and Hobbs but still, no thanks. Just like the Tyrone Mears debarcle last season.

Football FanCast columnist Freddie Myers mulls over the latest transfer rumours and rumblings.

Hull City has moved quickly to warn of potential suitors off Michael Turner by slapping a £10m price tag on him, according to reports in the Daily Express.

Turner, who has been an absolute revelation in Hull's debut season in the Premier League, with commanding displays and many predicting a future England call up, is around the corner. He has also attracted a great deal of interest among Premier League clubs, with Liverpool believed to have been lining up a January bid.

The Merseysiders are desperate for reinforcements in the backline as Hyypia looks likely to move on in January, Skrtel's injured and the constant uncertainty surrounding Daniel Agger, and will he or won't he sign his new deal. Turner along with Fulham's Hangeland were names that Rafa was supposedly targeted as a man to step in, but the Spaniard will more than likely turn his attentions to the Norwegian as £10m is likely to be out of his reach.

10m for Turner 

Hyypia would rather die than leave in January, as would Agger.

+1

Yeah righto, because the boss would have that many in the first place and make Michael Turner/Brede Hangeland our most expensive defender ever :

No defensive reinforcements are coming in, our players are all staying. Should we need someone, i'd be more than happy to see Jack Hobbs be 4th choice once Sami retires and when Jamie retires he can get a real crack. Its not like Sami doesnt play so Jack will get games too.

Hull are equally determined to hold on to Turner and manager Phil Brown insisted last night that they would listen only to a 'ridiculous' offer for the centre back.

Benitez will test their resolve with a bid of £5.5m for a player who has attracted interest among Barclays Premier League clubs since helping Hull win promotion to the top flight last year. Tottenham, Fulham and Everton are all known admirers of the 25-year-old.

Brown said: 'Michael is knocking on the door of the England set-up and when you play like that you are going to attract attention. It would be difficult to hang on to him if a ridiculous bid came in, but as we stand, no bids are on the table.'
 


 

Benitez saw Arbeloa return to Madrid - where he was on Real's books as a youngster - and he has agreed a five-year deal.

Real's former Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek welcomed Arbeloa's signing and expressed hope that he would soon be joined by Alonso.

'He (Alonso) has a lot of quality and is also a great person off the pitch,' said Dudek. 'I hope that he comes, although it is not easy to negotiate with Rafa Benitez.'

Liverpool have made a small profit on the deal for Arbeloa, who joined them in January 2007 from Deportivo La Coruna for £2.6m.

However, Andrea Dossena's move to Napoli has been held up over a wages dispute. The 27-year-old left back, who signed for Liverpool from Udinese in a £7m switch a year ago, is keen on a return to his homeland and Benitez has made it clear he will not stand in his way by agreeing a cut-price deal of £4.5m.

But Napoli's director of sport Pierpaolo Marino yesterday admitted there was deadlock over personal terms. 'We have taken a break in order to reflect on this,' said Marino. 'The move is on hold. There are no immediate prospects.

'The president has spoken to Rafael Benitez and there is some distance between us and the player. But I wouldn't worry too much.'

It is possible Spurs may hijack the deal if no agreement is reached.

Lee Turner? I could've sworn it was Michael.

Do we need another CB? I would of thought a full back but not a CB  

Lee Turner? I could've sworn it was Michael.

Indeed. His name is in the article, too.

Title changed.

For 5.5m? Might aswell get Distin.

Sing him up back up for agger and co

cant see him coming, he'd want somewhere with more first team football oppurtunies

Would be grate back up though

F'cking embarrasing players like this are being linked to Liverpool.
