Something is wrong at LFC"

"PANKY - nothing is wrong with LFC if you had been following all the rumours on Ramirez, almost every big club in Europe was said to be after him. Only two made an approach and he refused Spurs flat out because of low wages. The offer from Southampton has been accepted and in my opinion if he is a player BR rates we will get him, seems BR does not rate him as highly."
