Gervinho

The Reds have reportedly identified the Ivorian as their prime target in January.


Liverpool have turned their well-known interest in Lille ace Gervinho into an official offer in the region of €12.5m, according to tuttomercatoweb.com.

French outfit Lille were believed to be demanding €15m for the player, but due to good relations between the two sides, it appears they have now lowered their asking price.

 The Ivorian international, who has been doing exceptionally well this year, has so far contributed seven goals and four assists to Lille 's league campaign.

Liverpool should get him as he will definitely improve the attack
Alex,December 28, 2010
No, no, no, no, no!
Hodgson out!
Liverpool don't need these type of player's.
There's plenty of English talent good enough to strenghten our team.
Adam Johnson, Ashley Young, Darren Bent; if we're looking to spend over £10m on players it should be on one of these...
Tom,December 28, 2010
Arsenal should sign hazard and gervinho in a swap deal with Bendtner or Denilson
William,December 28, 2010
Wow tom have you even seen the guy play?
he's a top class consistent preformer who will add much needed pace to our side.
Benji,December 28, 2010
dear tom, liverpool don't need your type of support. Gervinho would be a good purchase.
tim,December 28, 2010
He is top class.roy sell poor players like babel,paulson,glen,jova.to raise money to buy strong player mostly africans and south americans
Solomon,December 28, 2010
So this is an 'official'l bid...or is it a 'reported' bid.

Honestly. Get your shit together IMScouting.
Red,December 28, 2010
WTF!!!
SIGN HIM..HE COULD BE THE NEXT DROGBA
me,December 28, 2010
Tom ,did you just say Bent?! The Darren Bent? why get guys like him when we could at least have pacheco have a run of games.Bent is more experienced,fine but not worth pushing the youngster further down the perking for
AJ,December 28, 2010
stop moaning for gods sake, this guy is very very good, you have probably not seen him play....
ellis,December 28, 2010
i am asking Liverpoolfc broad to help get gerviho over,because he is a strong play who is good at scoring goals.
Abraham Bestman,December 28, 2010
Very good player but dont belive this is going to happen
simon,December 28, 2010
Fan of the LOSC, top of French premiership at the moment, not the time to loose a key element like Gervinho!!
Larry,December 28, 2010
Tom, you are out of your league! the problem is the english players you mention will all be closer to 20mil instead of 10m. thats a big difference..... and no way darren bent is available. you always pay a premium for English players too....
kane,December 28, 2010
Its a piss take to hear ppl talking aba english talent when dere is nufin. Sell J.Cole and give konchesky out to Wolves as a x'mas gift. And get Arda Turan, Cissokho and Aguero
Roy is Shit,December 28, 2010
It will be a big blonder if Roy will want ever to think to release Dirk Kyut and Ryan Babel . We are tired to see such good players leave us . Special Dirk Kyut . This is serious issue and if Roy wants them to leave I suggest that he Roy should leave first . He does not know who to bring but he knows who leave us . Please Roy don't finish our beloved club just like that .

Apart from a few key players like Gerrard, the words "English" and "Talent" don't go together.
Nigel M,December 29, 2010
He could be a very good player for LFC and he isn't a Diouf where he was only signed based on a good world cup ... This guy is performing brilliantly in the French league.

He would definitely add a lot of pace and skill to our team something we lack in abundance. .
Nivster,December 29, 2010
I think I'd rather take my chances on a proven premier league goal scorer, not someone who is doing well in the french league. The French league is a million miles apart from the Premier League.
I presume all the people on this thread who are happy to sign Gervinho where the people who were happy when we were linked with Loic Remy and Ricky Van Wolfswinkel? These absolute no namer's in European and World footlball; just known in their own countires and will have a similar impact to that of Ryan Babel.
This is a team that once had world class superstars and even so recently as a few seasons back in Alonso and Mascherano.
Times have changed Liverpool "fans" and this short-sighted-ness will plunge us further into crisis.
Tom,December 29, 2010
They have Jovanovic and don't need him, altough Gervinho is a good player he isn't for Reds... Roy Hodgson out, he is a problem.
SerbianRed,December 29, 2010
solomon gllen johnson is NOT a poor player
jimmy,December 29, 2010
If I were Hodgson I would spend my money on Bent, Ayew and Adam Johnson. Furthermore, I was going correct my relationship with Glen Johnson
Eliah Kamphinda,December 29, 2010
Only Hodgson can think of so many average!
Mike,December 29, 2010
Good sigining if roy can complete deal... will grow into better player & well Suited to EPL
FIB - FIL,December 29, 2010
Roy has finally lost the plot, offering Dirk Kuyt, as a makeweight transfer, to Milan. Babel yes; Kuyt no.
Keith Ritch,December 30, 2010
Chelsea should sign Gervinho, to replace Borini and (properly) Joe Cole
BJC,December 31, 2010
please return rafa
jo,January 01, 2011

iano,January 02, 2011
An official at the club (lille) was quoted as saying no offer had been made by LFC. Why do you write such bullshit?
Brian,January 02, 2011
Players like him are the need of the hour.
we want to built a strong side and end title drought.
africam and south american players will be good choice.
jijith,January 03, 2011
