The Ukraine striker spent last season on loan with the German side in the Bundesliga but a permanent move broke down over his hefty personal terms and he is now back at Anfield.
However, Hertha contacted Liverpool last week to reopen talks and indicated they are prepared to make a new £3m bid.
Anfield boss Rafa Benitez is short of striking options but would cash in on the 30-year-old to boost his transfer kitty ahead of deadline day.

What On earth is going on,Why the Amirecans who Own this great club keep their promiss on giving £50 million RAFA so he can buy good players,such as SILVA and good left back. if their cannot then they must leave this club now enough is enough.

we should add to the attacking options and get rid of Voronin and bring in Tuncay to pair with Torres. That should be done before the end of august.RAFA that is not the end of the season it is just the beginning of the season don't worry about that. I know we can do better than that this season.

This our 1st n only defeat cos i believe in rafa n the team.benayoun,gerrard(60% fit) ,johnson,pepe,masch,carra n ayala should keep up the good work but torres,kuyt n babel should revive their form.as for lucas n vornin they either for a move or meet the demands of the boss,the league,the team n kopites.

I can't believe we were beaten by tthm with the goals coming from defenders.
Gerrard should be returned to the central midfield to spray killer passes to Torres and whoever partners him upfront(Silva or Benayoun) & we should a world-class right winger.Or else we would end this season with nothing again.

need 2 get rid of voronin long time bring in kenwyne jones and give benyaoun more plying time 4 this tough season

This defeat only proves how badly Liverpool need to bring in someone with real qulity - I'd prefer Silva.
Torres himself said Liverpool need players like Silva or Mata to help him and the team to get goals, I gues he can sees things better than te wrest of us. Silva would be better option, he is already an important player for Valencia and Spain, while Mata is just getting there.

After watchin us get thrashed by tottenham 2day i can see we're missing alonso, we need gerrard to play with masch and put silva + torres up front. Strength in depth is how u win the premier league. ps kick out rafa and bring in roberto martinez

Nice deal,rafa, could kopites please see lavezzi/negredo/aguero in the famous red shirt plus a boost in defence

why do you all still keep blaming the yanks for everything ? the coffers were empty and the debt was getting forever bigger under moores, due to his trust in parry. thanks to the yanks we have torres and mascherano. so they are not endlessly rich like abramovich. Neither am i. Thats life. They didn't saddle the club with all the debt like the glaziers did. Dont forget liverpools debt is secured by personal guarantees. in this current economic crisis, everyone, rafa, the yanks, and the real fans need to pull together and support the team. All this nonsense about fans buying the club is a joke. As for 'Spirit of Shankly' - well the great man would turn in his grave at having his name attached to that lot. Support the team and the club and stop moaning like mancs.

Masch is crap?? Slow?? The man is a lightning quick tackling, passing machine. Without him at the Kop we would be in serious trouble. The fact that he is there allows our attacking midfielders to attack, and as we only really have Torres who gets us goals up front, we need goals from midfield like Kerry Catona needs her sherbert refreshments. As for Joey Barton, I have now lost faith in mankind, not only is he pretty much the bog standard midfielder we grew to expect under Evans, he is someone who could not be futher from the mould of the once mghty reds. Tuncay is our best option for the money we have, which is none by the way because of the Yank liars who mortgaged the club in order to buy it. We cant and wont be able to afford Silva, as much as I would like to see him there, its just not going to happen. We should have bought Barry last year when we had the chance. I cant believe the Uncle Sams were quibbling over 2-3 million when they have force fed the club £60m interest payments a year. They must go or somehow clear that debt, if either of these 2 things do not happen we are doomed, and I mean doomed. It wont quite be a Leeds, but it will not be too far off.

By God_9.. Posted August 16 2009 at 7:04 AM.
he aint good enough for the pool ...... we need another striker , gudjohnson would be perfect foil for torres
By chris irwin.. Posted August 16 2009 at 4:30 AM.
David Grozy you are a fool! Masch a Crap you have to be kidding! anyway Selling Voronin would be a good deal for us! Bring on Silva RAFA! YNWA!
By Fanol.. Posted August 16 2009 at 2:48 AM.
Great news!!!! Now Rafa needs to bring in another quality Striker as backup/or to play with Torres!!!! Theres a long season ahead and to compete in all comps we carnt relay on NGOG as backup and get goals!!!! Hope he brings in someone like Negreado! The Premier league is going to be tougher this season!!! If we are off the pace after 10 games its time for Rafa to go as we will never win the league!!! Bring back Roy Evans and have Robbie Fowler as his Assistant!!!- The ultimate Liverpool Dream team - We would win everything wtih these in charge! Also cash in on Javier Mascarano for 30 million as he is crap - to small and slow carnt header,score etc!!! and bring in Joey Barton for free!!! Use the 30 million to buy Aaron Lennon and a decent Centre Back to replace Sami Hyypia!!!!
YWNA-LIVERPOOL 4 THE LEAGUE 2010!
