bump----
anyone know now?
i've been up in the country away from civilisation and news for about a week now-----soo----- wheres he going?
and whats up with kewell.......
i'm not a soccer buff, but i reckon that Lucas WONT be a let down at Liverpool.....
he'll be so much more than a 'benchwarmer' !
i'd reckon he'd put twice the amount of effort he has
into playing at Liverpool compared to Blackburn cause it's his "Big Dream"
anyyway---- i dont' care why he goes---- i just want to know where, when and what colour he's gonna wear ;)
he looked good in green and gold
he looks good in a blue/white top
but he'd look amazing in red
(and plus--- i cant bloody wait to jump on board liverpool)

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has admitted he has not given up hope of signing Australia defender Lucas Neill from Blackburn.
Benitez was keen to sign Socceroos star Neill and tabled a 2 million pound ($5 million) offer on Wednesday for the player.
But Blackburn boss Mark Hughes insisted that Liverpool full-back Stephen Warnock, 24, must be included as part of the transfer and Benitez was not prepared to sanction that deal.
Benitez believes Neill is still keen to move to Anfield and will now wait until the transfer window re-opens in January before launching a new bid.
"We had to wait until the last minute with Lucas Neill because we needed the money from the Jan Kronkamp sale to PSV Eindhoven," Benitez told Liverpool's website.
"We knew there was a small risk doing this, but maybe we can do more business with a right-back in January.
"I know Lucas Neill really wanted to come here and maybe there will be a possibility in the future, but we must also analyse the market in January.
"It was disappointing. We tried but in the end the situation was impossible.
"Blackburn wanted to sign Warnock, but we made it clear we wanted to keep the player.
"The conversations I had with Blackburn were friendly and they are good people, but in the end we had to say 'okay, we cannot do it'."
