Andrea Dossena (Liverpool to Napoli)

Why hasn't this transfer been completed yet? We have agreed a fee and he passed a medical so what the hell is going on? Maybe Rick needs to turn the fax machine on. Dozy c**t that is!

Not allowed until July the 1st for legal reasons

REDS CLOSING ON DOSSENA DEAL
Jimmy Rice 26 June 2008
   Liverpool Football Club expect to complete the signing of left-back Andrea Dossena next week, chief executive Rick Parry has confirmed.
A deal to bring the 26-year-old Udinese defender to Anfield is almost complete and is likely to be confirmed on the club's official website shortly.
 
Parry said: "We are now ready to confirm the signing of Dossena. The deal should go through next week after finalising the paperwork."
 
The full-back, who has one international cap to his name, will become the second new addition to Rafa Benitez's squad following the free transfer of Swiss defender Philipp Degen.
 
Dossena is seen as an ideal replacement for John Arne Riise, who departed for Serie A side Roma last week.
 
Parry continued: "John was an incredibly enthusiastic defender who was always a great pro.
 
"He worked hard and never gave us a minute's trouble. The fans will remember that powerful shot of his that brought them to their feet on many occasions.
 
"We had a good chat about his time here and he wants to thank the fans for the support he was given down the years. He secured Champions League and FA Cup success at Anfield and also helped us win the Worthington Cup and two European Super Cups."

..and never gave us a minute's trouble.

Rick's been smoking.

At last, Cant wait to see him play

yeahh me too, along with Degen............and any others that we bring to Liverpool

The question is: Does these kind of signings bring us forward and closer to ManUre or Chelski? ManU is in talks with Alves & Co., that's another caliber of players ... sadly it doesn't look good for Liverpool to win its 19th title.

did Skrtl look like a signing capable of doing anything? Don't worry mate he'll take us closer for sure! Rafa is paying £7m for himhe should fit the bill

Not allowed until July the 1st for legal reasons

This is confusing me a bit at the moment.

How has Riise signed for Roma?  Has he signed some sort of pre contract agreement?

Does anyone know the actual legal position?  Is it just that contracts usually run from 1st July until 30th June?

Anyone got the definitive answer?

I have wondered about that too... I always assumed that both clubs and the player have agreed to all terms of the contract, and they just have to wait to sign on July 1st. Still, it sounds weird, as you'd think they could still back out if they wanted... Where's RedKenny when you need him, I'm sure he'd have the answer!

Its a pre agreement, they have agreed now that as of the 1st of july Riise will officially be a Roma player.Same has happened for us with Degen and now Dossena, they arent both officially our players yet until the 1st of july (my birthday in case any of you want to remember that )

Cheers for that.

Anything else you would like for your birthday?  Villa?  Silva?

1st of july oooo thats 4days... i thinks dossena should be a good player IMO cant wait to see him in the pre season

any second now....he should be officially signed

any second now....he should be officially signed

Yeah, I was checking the official website at 8am this morning to see if they'd updated it!

 

any second now....he should be officially signed

We still aint signed him then?

Fucks sake.  Knowing our luck he's probably getting married this minute.

Im still waiting.....

I dont trust any transfer unless I see him unveiled at anfield...

Maybe he and Degan will be unveilled together.

Iwish rafa would look to midfield and another striker we need to make some good signings

Maybe Rafa will saw Voronin in half, turn the box around these two will pop out?

You've got a vivid imagination. Surely they're both not going to be that good?

I had this guy in my team at FM 2005. He was Okay at that time. Acting as backup to Riise. Still waiting to see his effect. I hope he's not injury proned like Aurelio and inconsistent like JAR.
