The Honduras international is aware of the Anfield interest.

Voted player of the year in Scotland this season after a series of outstanding performances, he admitted he would be interested in a move south of the border.

“This is flattering to any player, that Liverpool shows an interest in your services. I still do not know anything - I have left everything in the hands of my agent and club officials,” he said.

Have to say he's looked really impressive whenever I've seen him, but it's a big step up from that level imo.

Artcle says they want 15 million and have rejected our approach.

For now, they were always going to play hardball to try get his price up. Think Enrique will leave Newcastle, probably to us, for around £7million.

Fixed that for you.

Just because we don't want to pay £15m for Enrique doesn't mean we have £25m to pay for Coentrao.

Seen him in the Old Firm, he was cracking that day. Would be a good signing.

DM Red · « **Reply #20 on:** May 26, 2011, 12:54:50 AM »

dont think he is good enough at all.

i have reservations about his defensive abilities.

amir87 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 26, 2011, 12:56:26 AM »

He's been impressive in the games I've watched but he doesn't look good on youtube.

And for that reason, I'm out.

RedinExeter · « **Reply #22 on:** May 26, 2011, 01:24:04 AM »

I'd take him over Enrique, mainly because it would kill my Celtic supporting friend who adores 'Izzy.'

Lol. You have pissed someone as well and he has posted on this tread.

He did get the SPL's Player's Player of the Year award. Which means shit really but getting it as a leftback does signify he has some quality to his game.

Suspect Package. · « **Reply #25 on:** May 26, 2011, 05:01:11 AM »

If he's an alternative to Enrique, we'll be getting Enrique.

This is because Mike Ashley is a money grabbing twat, and knows that if he doesn't sell now he will lose the player for nothing in a year's time. Same reason they'll be selling Barton (and I don't mean to us btw!)

Barton will go to Everton, mark m words. Shithead player for a shithead team managed by a shithead manager.

cant understand going for izaguirre when we have insua on the books, look very similar when ive watched celtic this season. great going forward, seems to get lost for position when defending.

Watched a fair bit of Celtic this season and Izaguirre is excellent going forward.
Really supports the attacks well and can whip in a good cross.
Also has enough tricks in his locker to beat a man.

However, I would have pretty serious concerns about his defensive ability.
He tends to wander around a fair bit and because he is supporting the attack so much, he can often be caught way out of position.

He gets away with it in Scotland because other teams lack the ability to capitalise, but it would definitely need a lot of work for the PL.
Still, there is definitely enough talent there to mould him into a very fine all-round left-back

Honestly, I know we don't have to fill our squad with all world class 'gallatico' players but is anyone else a little worried that all we seem to be associated with at the moment are these good/ok players. If we are going to be pushing for CL next season and show some intent I can't see the players we are being linked with getting us there. Are all these players going to improve the squad we have that dramatically? I know its early, very early still, but fuck me am i completely underwhelmed by all these connections. All the top targets are also linked with clubs with Europe next season.

Please god don't let us not being in Europe backfire on us so early on before the season even begins.

RedRabbit · « **Reply #33 on:** May 26, 2011, 09:18:21 AM »

I've heard his name quite a bit, but never seen him play.
Is highly regarded by all accounts, according to what I've read here and elsewhere.
Would he cost a lot? If he's that good , I doubt Celtic will let him go easily.
Where would he rate/how is he different to Enrique?

We are not even in the 2nd tier of European competition. What makes you think the top players would want to come to us?

I'd really like this. I've seen a few games with Celtic this season and always thought that he stood out as being a wee bit better than most, although I'm still a bit annoyed that I can't pronounce his name right.

http://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/liverpool-fc/1213435-celtic-left-back-emilio-izaguirre-flattered-by-liverpool-fc-interest.html

Emilio Izaguirre admits that he finds Liverpool's reported interest in him 'flattering'.

Kenny Dalglish returned to his native Glasgow in February to observe the Honduras international during Celtic's 3-0 win over Rangers, prompting suggestions that the 25-year-old could move to Merseyside this summer to fill the left-back void.

And whilst Celtic have no intentions of selling Izaguirre, who won a hat trick of Player of the Year awards in his first season in the SPL, the player revealed that he has heard of possible interest from Anfield.

"It is flattering for any player of course, when somebody like Liverpool shows an interest in your services," he told La Tribuna.

"I still do now know anything, I leave this in the hands of my agent and club officials."

Pretty much the same as the Mirror article, I suppose.

Our name, our history, the players we already have, our manager, our future, our owners.

Edit: This transfer window will tell us exactly how we are regarded in Europe and see how much clout we REALLY do have. Fingers crossed hey.
