I like the move for Aquiliani a bit more now he's been proven in Serie A. Almost 150 games for Roma another 40 at Triestina. Highly talented and plenty of experience and still only 25. But he might have problems adjusting though, have trouble with pace of the Premier League and maybe injury and consistency problems.
The Liverpool Echo reports that we will be giving him an thorough medical when he arrives and that there is no truth to the Christian Poulsen rumours.
"But Aquilani�s fitness � or rather the lack of it � could
prove a sticking point as the 25-year-old is currently sidelined having
undergone surgery on his right ankle back in May.
Rafa Benitez is a big admirer of Aquilani�s technical ability but will
need to be convinced that the central midfielder has recovered well
enough to be able to withstand the rigours of a Premier League campaign
before committing to the transfer."
