Reds made move for Shakhtar Donetsk star
By Ian Doyle, Daily Post
SHAKHTAR DONETSK have claimed Liverpool wanted to sign their Croatian right-midfielder Dario Srna in the summer - and are bracing themselves for the European Champions to return with a new bid in January.
A host of clubs are tracking the 23-year-old Srna, including German champions Bayern Munich.
Srna's representative is former Derby and West Ham star Igor Stimac, who said: "I really think he is one of the best young midfielders anywhere in Europe and that looks to be the case judging by how many clubs are looking and asking about him.
"Liverpool came in for him in August, but Shakhtar president Rinat Akhmetov decided against it. He is a very rich man and obviously does not need the money, so we will have to see.
"There is interest from all over Europe, from Italy, Spain, Germany and England and I think he should be going to one of the top 10 teams in Europe .
"We think he would be very good for Liverpool. He plays down the right and enjoys breaking down the right - something which he cannot do for Shakhtar at the moment as they are playing him in defence.
"He is very similar to David Beckham, he likes to attack down that side and put lots of crosses into the box."
Stimac added: "Who knows what might happen, we will have to see but as we said it will depend on what Mr Akhmetov says."
Srna began his career with hometown club Hajduk Split, making his debut as a 16-year-old and spending three years there before Shakhtar signing him in 2003.
It has been claimed Liverpool are also contemplating a move for FC Thun defender José
Gonçalves. The 20-year-old has been one of the stars for the Champions League surprise package from Switzerland, who are playing in Arsenal's group.
And the player's agent, Ivan Reich, says Liverpool have watched the 20-year-old four times with Rafael Benitez poised to make a personal check on the player.
Reich said: "I was informed that Rafa Benitez wants to come in person and watch Jose play. Benitez wants to make sure, before he signs Jose." -
the next david beckham?hmmm..

seeems he is the one we might rally need...
-

yeah... its like a mini spain in EPLOriginally posted by dragg:at least he isnt spanish. -
whoever sign for L'pool must possess a heart of a Scouser , regardless of his nationality .
I've seen Srna played for Croatia , seemed ordinary to me .
Never really focus on Shaktar play , so no comments on him overall .
Never believe what David Beckham type la conparison ..... I remember Houllier were saying Bruno Cheyrou as France's next Zidane , and then what ?
I like Momo Sissoko , everyone is comparing him with Veira , no no no , he's a better player than Veira , at least he "robbed" away possession from opponent more than Veira . -
Srna dun play wide right for croatia right?? it's pompey's ivica mornar who plays there for croatia
