Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is to be given the £18 million he wants to sign Valencia winger David Silva. The Spaniard has been linked with a move to Anfield for weeks now after his terrific displays in the European Championships for Spain, which saw them lift the trophy.The 22-year old winger is more than likely to leave the Mestalla this summer after Valencia admitted they would have to sell in order to balance their books. Benitez has supposedly had more arguments with the American owners this week, due to his determination to sign Gareth Barry.
The owners make the point that they have Xabi Alonso and then therefore don't need another central midfield player in Gareth Barry, which I would tend to agree with. Meanwhile, if Liverpool were to indeed sign Silva, I feel it would severally boost their title ambitions due to the players skill and pace.
