After all the pain of last year’s “will-he-won’t-he” saga, Manchester United and Christiano Ronaldo spared the football world a repeat ordeal by finally succumbing to Real Madrid’s overtures.

Only a couple of rumours seem to be floating around, and there has not been anything concrete yet, but i’ll tell you who i’d like to see in the red of Liverpool next year…Sergio Aguero, David Silva, and David Villa.
Now THAT would be a proposition to whet any Liverpool fans dream, or…errr… give them wet dreams…?
