You're worried about your current goalkeeper not being decisive enough on crosses and commanding his box and you want Valdes...more of the same you'll find.
I know. I don't like Valdes. Not a bad sweeper keeper but he has made some absolute howlers in his time, same level as Reina.A brilliant and correct (imo) view on the Borini situation

It appears Man U's new boy is single handedly destroying Germany.
That's usually the case when you have quality players around you.Messi and Neymar at Barca perform far better than they do when on international duty.

That looks a bargain if you compare it to some of the london properties. Location is obviously a huge factor but i'm impressed what you can get there for not 'that' much.http://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbterscs...

Fabio Borini out in the cold at Liverpool after rejecting moves to Queens Park Rangers and Sunderland
Anfield chiefs baffled by stand from Italian striker who claims: "The madness is finished. I protected the man and the player that I am today. I am very happy
Fabio Borini, the Liverpool striker, faces being frozen out at Anfield for the foreseeable future after rejecting a lucrative summer move to Queens Park Rangers and Sunderland.
Liverpool are bemused by the Italian’s decision to spurn the advances of other Premier League clubs with Brendan Rodgers, the manager, having informed the 23-year-old he was unlikely to feature on Merseyside this season.
Borini defended himself via social media on Tuesday after negotiations with QPR broke down over the terms of his contract. The London club had a £10 million bid accepted.
The Italian wanted a £95,000-a-week contract, a severance package from Liverpool and an exit clause from QPR allowing him to leave for less than the £10 million they would have paid.
QPR offered a significant pay rise to the Italian, but would not agree to the clause.
Liverpool were willing to offer Borini a pay-off but negotiations broke down between the player and QPR as the transfer deadline approached.
Earlier in the summer, Borini rejected a return to Sunderland for £14 million, having spent a successful loan spell in the North West.
“Finally, the madness is finished,” Borini wrote on Twitter. “I protected the man and the player that I am today. I am very happy with myself to have taken such an important decision.”
Liverpool have Daniel Sturridge, Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert ahead of Borini as Rodgers considers his options.
Borini was Rodgers’s first signing as Liverpool’s manager in July 2012, having paid £10.5 million to Italian club Roma. Rodgers had earlier worked with the Italian at both Chelsea and during a loan stint with Swansea, where Borini assisted in the Welsh club’s promotion.
It would appear that the Italian sees his next career move to be at a club whose profile matches that of Chelsea, Roma and Liverpool and did not want to risk being contracted to a side fighting nearer the bottom of the division without a means of escape at a later date.
Liverpool, however, would have preferred to cash in having received such attractive bids.
The problem that Rodgers now faces is that Borini’s valuation is only likely to dip if he is deprived of football, although there will be a hope that circumstances will have changed by the time of the next transfer window in January and that the striker will be more willing to move on.
Liverpool were also unable to shift midfielder Lucas, receiving no offers for the Brazilian. There was some interest in taking him on loan, but an expected bid from Napoli never materialised.

Fabio Borini is apparently being targeted by Italian giants Inter Milan in January.
The 23-year-old was linked with moves to Sunderland and QPR all summer long but in the end opted to stay put and fight for his place.
But the Express report that the Nerazzurri will test his resolve when the window opens with a £10m offer for his services.
With Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotelli already looking like Brendan Rodgers' first choice, and Rickie Lambert waiting in the wings, Borini's playing time could be limited.
But he could be rescued in just four months time - assuming he accepts Inter's offer of course.

QPR, Sunderland or Inter. Hmmm, toughie

Inter won't pay 10 million for him. And if this move was really the case why waste everyone's time? He could have gone on loan and played regular football and shown how good he was. Instead he'll be sat on the bench. If anything he's deliberately reducing the price we might get for him so that Inter can afford him. Disgraceful behaviour, although like he tweeted himself, he's looking after the man.
