Morientes joins Valencia.

[7even]

Liverpool have cut their losses on Fernando Morientes and sold the striker to Valencia.

Morientes' Anfield future has been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent weeks following a lacklustre time with The Reds.

His agent appeared to intimate earlier this week that the 30-year-old would see out the remaining two years on his contract with the Premiership club.

But Liverpool have now agreed to sell Morientes to Valencia for an undisclosed fee, after the forward was also linked with Real Betis and Espanyol.

Reds boss Rafa Benitez splashed out £6.3 million to bring Morientes to Merseyside from Real Madrid in January 2005.

Morientes, though, failed to provide a significant return on the investment as he mustered just 12 goals in 61 appearances.

So Liverpool have Flabby Fowler, Crouch (laughs) and, Cisse who? To lead the attack for them next season, I must admit I’m shitting myself, psyche.

I rated Morientes at one point, a good goal scorer who just couldn’t cut it with the bigger boys over here. I’m sure he’ll be much better off at Valencia.

I'd LOVE to know how much money they lost on him

It's about time he went it's a pity cos before he came to liverpool he was a great striker, arguably a better striker than Raul who was just the fans darling.

[Busby Boy]

he'll bang in the goals for Valencia.

Liverpool based their game play around hitting Crouch's head too much which restricted Morientes and Cissé from showing they're true qualities. To think that Crouch and Fowler get selected over Morientes and Cissé is a joke!...thank god it's only the Bindippers!

I think he'll score loads of goals in La Liga, he just wasn't suited to Premiership football.
