Hi eds, we were chasing Alex Texeira before Mane. He is good player rotting away in Chinese league. Do you think we could do ala Paulinho for him?

{Ed001's Note - no.}

That guy also rejected us.

I'd assume that the fact he rejected us and possibly a few other European teams at a decent level. To sell out at 26 coming into peak years. To go play in Chinese football and chase the ££ would mean most clubs/ managers would keep clear as be worried about his motivation and ambitions. Shame as looked a quality player at Shaktar.

He was seeking money nothing else, let him rot there, it's come back to bite him in the arse big time, I'm glad we never got him, we don't need players like him and his mentality at Liverpool.

I thought initially he was desperate for the lfc move but shaktar didn't wanna sell him to us? Then along came the Chinese millions.

{Ed001's Note - he was very keen to join us, you are correct.}

Alex Tex wanted to join Chelsea but they bucked at the price. Then, We stepped in and suddenly, he wanted to come to us too cos to me, he was all about the money. Glad it did not happen as Mane was and is a much better fit and boy, did he come good for us.

Yes you don't want someone chasing money if looking for long term but this is a short life so I don't think the @@@@ him for going where he could pocket a fortune is really necessary. Plenty of fans would change jobs like a shot if made them for life and could retire really young.
