Personally I don't want him, nor do I think we shall sign him, but I'm not going to slag him off either.
BUT, what I can only think is the reason he has been linked, is as a replacement for Garcia.
Little Luis is a one off player at Liverpool, who can produce a piece of magic by either scoring a beauty or creating a chance by pure brilliance.
Now, if he is to be unloaded, by either a makeweight in the Torres deal, or by just being sold off - I think Rafa see's Benayoun as a straight replacement.
Benayoun is (if we like it or not) a Premiership player, who will cost less than we'll get for Luis, and can put some creatativity into our midfield.
That is something we do lack, that little piece of skill / magic, that crafty through ball, that unexpected shot - and maybe that is what Rafa see's in him.
I cannot see us signing him if Luis stays.
But if we do, then please don't scream and shout saying he's not good enough, GET BEHIND HIM FFS.
