  Benfica Simao Sabrosa is ready to ask away ahead of the January market.
  
  The Portuguese winger, 26, is Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez's top transfer window target.
  
  Simao almost moved to Anfield in the summer but Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira blocked the deal at the last minute.
  
  The star, rated at £9million, has now been fined by Benfica for saying on TV he wants to leave.

  Good player, young and hungry. Just the mould Rafa likes to go for.
  
  Will lessen the problem on the right for LFC. But 9 million pounds? The transfer market is becoming ridiculous.

  Benfica knew that his value drop due to the participation of UCL and jack up his price so that there's more room for negotiation .
  
  This is business .

  FC Thun that centre back Gonzalves ... Simao ..... we've got that Speedy Mark , so right wing had settled .
  
  That's it , just a centre back and a left winger .
