Liverpool Will Pay No More Than £5m For Shaun Wright-Phillips
By Chris Wright
There are rumours abound this morning that Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson is planning to fluff a considerable percentage of NESV’s reported £25 million transfer budget on Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips come January, with both The Sun and The Mirror suggesting that a fee of ‘no more than £5 million’ will change hands.
According to The Sun, Hodgson is desperate for widemen and hopes to take advantage of SWP’s stalling contract talks to nab him on the cheap, whereas The Mirror also reckon that NESV owner John W Henry will ‘green light’ the move when he meets Hodgson to discuss potential transfer targets before Liverpool’s Europa League clash with Napoli on Thursday.
Given that NESV have openly stated that they are looking to buy ‘younger players with high re-sale value’ in the Arsenal mould, I can’t really see Henry giving the go-ahead to move for a 29-year-old, £75,000-a-week no mark quite so readily – but what do I know?

Get the feeling Liverpool will be “short”-changed if they do this deal. LOL
@S-League: There’s no need to ‘belittle’ him like that!
Big price for such small returns innit?
29?!? I thought he was 14
no. no. no. please god, stop this.
Woy already has Joe Cole, Maxi Rodriguez and Ryan Babel in the category of ‘Failed wingers who never fulfilled their potential’, why not go for the quartet?
we dont need another right footed winger weve got babel! the reason babel has been a flop so far is coz they never play him in his proper position which is RW or CF… he’s also been drained of confidence by benitez and hodgson… we need a left footed winger
why cant anyone else see this?
he’s to ugly to play for LFC…. LFC players should be pretty like me!
