Why? Desperate? Piss-take? One of the two.
German Club Hertha Berlin have the unexplainable desire to take Liverpool Striker Andriy Voronin back to Germany. The Ukraine International spent last season on loan in Bundesliga, and scored 11 goals in 20 appearances for the Club.
Voronin is out of favour at Anfield, for good reason, and it looks like Rafael Benitez wants to shift him out. The problem is, no one had wanted him up until now. Having started his Liverpool career fairly well, with a goal on debut at St. Etienne, Voronin completely lost his form through the middle of the 2007-2008 season, and was cast aside promptly. At the start of the 2008-2009 season, Hertha came calling and snapped him up on a loan deal. Now back at Anfield, Voronin made little impact when coming on as a substitute in the defeat to Tottenham.
For me, having watched him play on numerous occasions, he's definitely having the same for breakfast as what Lucas has. Liverpool have had their fare share of failing centre-forwards in recent times - Fernando Morientes is one that springs to mind - but Voronin has hit a new level of rubbish-ness. You may think I'm over-critical of Lucas and Voronin, but anyone in their right mind can see that they're not worthy of the Red's shirt.
So if Voronin goes, that's half of the catastrophes out the door. I'll be on the phone to Mr. Gegenbauer asap, asking if he'll take Lucas away as well.
