Liverpool set sights on Newcastle winger
It's been pretty much a different name a day linked with Liverpool since the summer transfer window closed - and with results the way they are at the moment, Reds rumours seem set to continue right through until January.
Today there's a departure from the usual diet of overseas players reported to be moving to Anfield, as the story to start the week is that manager Roy Hodgson would be keen on signing Newcastle winger Wayne Routledge when the winter window opens.
The former Tottenham and Crystal Palace wide man joined the Magpies midway through their 2009-10 promotion campaign and has started all six league games since the new season started.
It seems that much will depend on how much money is available to the Merseyside club though as the 25-year-old is less than a year into a three-and-a-half-year contract and it is understood that Newcastle would be looking for a staggering sum in the region of £8 million to part with the 12-time England Under-21 international.
Would Routledge improve Liverpool or would his arrival be greeted even less enthusiastically than Paul Konchesky's? Let us know with a comment below...

I am not really care. But why still buying players when they finacially got problem? I don't think keep on buying players will improve Liverpool dramatically. Get real!!

No way, everyone needs to wake up to reality, get rid of the owners, new owner would then be abl;e to take teh club forward with the purchase of world class wingers, who will assist Stevie, Torres and Kuyt in scoring more goals
