Javi Martinez or Javier Mascherano ?

They may share the same initials and buy out fees but there's big differences between the 2 players. For one Javier has got more letters in his name and I think it sounds cooler so for that reason alone I would prefer we signed him at the end of the season ;-)

The Reds amongst many other clubs are currently heavily scouting the impressive 19 year old Martinez who plays for Athletic Bilbao but at £17 million, I doubt we've got room to buy both himself and Mascherano at the end of the season, plus we've got a packed quality midfield as it is !

With Mascherano we've got a proven performer (premiership & europe) both on and off the pitch who has a real hunger to play for the Reds so I really hope he's the one we go for.

Now Mascherano, he da man.
We must sign him even at £17m he is a bargain. No question about it. I dont see any need for this Marty kid though when we have a talent like Leiva already (and at a third of the price)

Thankfully Rafa has now said that they're NOT scouting him at all and won't be signing him :-)
