Liverpool boss Benitez launching £15M bid for Valencia's Silva
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has lined up a £15m summer raid for Valencia ace David Silva.
The Kop boss made inquiries last summer but was put off by the £25m-plus asking price.
But with Valencia currently around £400m in the red, Benitez believes he can finally land 23-year-old Silva, who can play wide or just behind the targetman.
Benitez has also asked about centre-back Raul Albiol if Daniel Agger does not sign his new contract offer.

i think the way rafa buying silva is always right we need creativity on right side.....by the way you were wrong if thought that silva only play on left wing....he can play both position left or right.....but i think he is not winger but player maker set up goal......what i am thinking right now...try get best player as fast as we can.....
if silva join liverpool i think rafa will play him in the left so there will 3 players will compete and that will make some of the players will frustrated coz he will always play kuyt in the right..rafa stop playing kuyt if silva will join liverpool..
David Silva would be a very very good signing us,if the price is right.We do need a right-player.But there are other good right-sided players like Valencia of wigan,and Blasloucuski of bosssia dourtmund who are good,and might be cheper and more of a bargain.I think also we need other players too.Definitley another striker.Martins from newcastle,or maybe dare i say it.Owen would be good.We would'nt be able to afford David Villa.And another full-back would do.Glen Johnson for me fits the bill.
