Keisuke Honda (CSKA Moscow)

As long as he is not being bought for commercial reasons it may work out but his favoured position is were both Cole and Gerrard play so I don't see how he is a priority unless it is to sell shirts and if that is the case I'm very worried about the future.

The chap is only 24 was a star in the world cup. We lack depth and creativity. Cole is made of glass while Stevie isn't evergreen. To have a player of this quality in the squad is a major plus. Not only that we need people fighting for the Liverpool jersey from now on.

I thought before the World cup that this lad is quality, since then he's got better and i would gladly welcome him here.

Signing him would mean the end of Pacheco.

You I agree Dexter, other positions should be much higher priorities, wide men another striker a centre half or a left back should be more priority then another player to play in the hole, we are not weak there

I don't think its a matter of do we need him?, its more that he could be available. And because of his quality, i would love to see him arrive. But i agree with you as regards strengthen other positions, a winger and striker and definite's for me.

Isn't Woy trying to convert Dani into a winger though?

So you think Roy will be around long enough to actually achieve that?

I don't think anyone does.

Liverpool and Arsenal Fight For Dream January Transfer Target

CSKA Moscow have revealed they will not stand in Keisuke Honda’s way if a reasonable bid is made.
The Japan midfielder has been heavily linked to a host of top European clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal, Ac Milan and Barcelona after starring in this summer’s World Cup.
CSKA now appear resigned to losing their star player and are willing to let him go for the right price when the transfer window reopens.
“We do not wish to keep players against their will if they want to move on,” a spokesperson for the Russian club was quoted as saying on Sankei Sports.
“We respect our players’ decisions.
“We are prepared to listen to any offers provided that the price is reasonable.”
Honda joined CSKA from Dutch outfit VVV Venlo in January on a four-year deal, and has blossomed into one of Europe’s most coveted players.
Liverpool are believed to be in pole position to secure the services of the 24 year-old, with the club reportedly already in the process of tabling an offer. (Sky Sports)
CSKA Moscow forward Keisuke Honda would fit in exceptionally well at either Liverpool or Arsenal.
The 24 year-old was one of the stars of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, scoring two goals and providing flair throughout – most notably with a Cruyff turn before crossing for Shinji Okazaki to tap in.
However, he is most clearly what Liverpool need.
Arsenal have plenty of players capable of putting the ball in the net, with their main struggles being in defence.
Keisuke Honda would be ultimately suited to playing alongside Fernando Torres up front at Anfield, given his ability to drift to the flanks in a false nine role.
At 24 years of age and seemingly showing a desire to move, Liverpool could find themselves with a fantastic asset on their hands.
Promising signs for the Roy Hodgson and Damien Comolli partnership…

Should we get this guy?

People are already saying it's a done deal, i can only hope because this lad is good. He's damn good at freekicks, but he's strong, quick and can score.

Really? I thought all had gone quiet, would love if we have got him.

Rumours of a verbal agreement flying round.

What is the right price 10million, 15 million??

If it is anything in that range I would say no go for Kranjcar has proven he  can do it in this league and would cost us half of that.

I would have both! But no I'd go for Honda because he's younger, he's stronger, he can take mean free kicks - I mean deadly and is gem still not truly unearthed yet. Plus would boost sales in Asia massively. He's bigger then Park.

Normally a good signing i believe. Under Hodgson on the other hand....well..i don't know..

He is younger?

Well yes he is 24 and Kranjcar is 26 hardly a decade apart is it?

I just thought about this, so if we buy him then we won't get him until after the Asian games or whatever? That would surely make me think something is amiss here.

Rumours of a verbal agreement flying round.

We've had verbal agreements for Hazard, Defour, Turan and now Honda.

Wouldn't make too much out of it.

Can't say I have watched him any detail so can't get excited either way.

He's got one hell of a left foot!:
