Liverpool set to be outbit for Amorebieta


Surprise, surpise. Where have we heard this before?
The Metro reports that having outlined Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Amorebieta as the ball-playing centre-back Liverpool need who won't simply gift the ball to the opposition a'la Martin Skrtel, Brendan Rodgers could be set to miss out to Russian club Zenit St Petersburg for the Spaniard's signature.
Just how often is this going to happen to Rodgers? For a while it even looked as if he was going to be outbid by Aston Villa of all clubs for Clint Dempsey. This is the same Aston Villa who were so badly burnt by Darren Bent that they have barely spent a penny in recent seasons.
Liverpool's FSG owners continually say they have the best for the club at heart, it's time to start showing it.
