Villa striker wants international collegue to join him at Villa Park !!!
Norwegian striker John Carew has said today that he would love to see Liverpool left back John Arne Riise join the Midlands side. Carew told Dagbladet - ""It seems like John Arne wants to go, so I can't see why not? "There is a possibility. "He would fit in very well at Villa, so that would be a positive." Riise has been forced to sit on the bench for much of the season thus far due to the terrific form of Reds defender Alvaro Arbeloa.
I think it would be a great move for the Norwegian because Villa are an emerging side and Riise would probably be guaranteed first team football week in, week out. The 27 year old has two years left to run on his contract but one suspects he won't be at Anfield come 2009.
He joined Liverpool from French side Monaco back in 2001 for a fee of 4 million pounds and since then has turned into a crowd favourite, mostly for the rocket goals he tends to score. But, if Liverpool were to sell him, how much would it be for? Well I would say about the five or six million mark, but would the Liverpool faithful agree?
