Bit confused to folks reaction to this signing If it happens :

Had his contract renewed by Liverpool many times unless he signed a 11 yes deal . they paid 2 million allegedly, to beat off a lot of clubs like Chelsea ??
Played 41 times for England from U16 right through to U21 scoring 6 times .
Played for us 41 times scoring 5 goals .
Played many games at a good level with Fulham,Wolves, Rangers
