Forward out, Defender In?

Sporting Life are reporting that Cisse is likely off to Tottenham in the summer:

Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse's agent has invited Tottenham to make a move for the Frenchman in the summer.

Cisse was heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane in January and although Spurs have denied they made a bid for the 24-year-old, Cisse's representative Ranko Stojic reckons a deal could yet be done. He told the Daily Mail: "Djibril is very interested. We know Tottenham are too. The situation will be resolved at the end of the season and I do not believe that Liverpool will oppose his departure - if they can obtain £7-10million."

A Spurs spokesman said: "We have never made an approach for Cisse and have not had any interest in the player."

Likely hood of this being true? Don't know, but I hope it's a load of crap. Cisse has repeatedly said how much he loves LFC & Liverpool and that he wants to stay, but he obviously not happy being used only as a bit=part player by Benitez. Tottenham would be a good fit for him, he would be their best player by miles if he did join them. However, if Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League (and I really hope they don't now) he may not want to go. Of course if the Gunners make it and lose Henry, they may well go for Cisse themselves!

Sky Sports are reporting that LFC have agreed a three year deal with free-agent Valencia defender Fabio Aurelio.

Reports in Spain suggest that Liverpool have agreed a three-year deal with Valencia defender Fabio Aurelio. The Brazilian is available on a Bosman free transfer and has also been pursued by Greek side Olympiakos, however reports indicate that The Reds have won the race for his signature.

Aurelio won both La Liga and the Uefa Cup under Rafa Benitez's stewardship at La Mestalla, and it appears as though their productive partnership is likely to be renewed at Anfield come the summer. Although no official confirmation is yet forthcoming, Spanish radio reports that Liverpool's offer of €2 million (£1.38 million) per season eclipsed both Olympiakos and Valencia's approaches.

The left back would provide strong competition for John Arne Riise, Stephen Warnock and Djimi Traore at Anfield should he confirm his move to The Premiership, with the South American also able to perform in midfield. He has previously attracted admiring glances from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, but could now be poised to become the latest Primera Liga star to join the Rafa Benitez revolution at Anfield.

Likely hood of this being true?
Dogs?....(sniff)....Cats?....(sniff)....Bullshite! How many defenders do we have already! Okay it's for the left back - supposedly the weakest part of our defence. However why bring in another foreigner, we should be looknig at bringing up Warnock's game to challenge Riise. Having said that if Rafa is planning on off loading Traore then this might be true.
