just read this on another site

There have been strong rumours flying around for the last couple of days that the reason Liverpool havent "Done a United" and flown out to the Copa America in Venezuela to tie up the deal for Heinze is this -

Last Thursaday, the agent of William Gallas let it slip' to a journo at a dinner function that he had been allegedly approached by top brass from Liverpool in the last 10 days.

The journo is reported to have been told from the agent, that should Liverpool's offer match that of his clients get-out-clause, his client would be "very interested" in joining the Merseyside club.

I asked him how many times Gallas's agent had spoken with the LFC wigs and he didnt say - but he got the impression that it was more than once.

Gallas came close to signing for Liverpool in the recent past, but because of the Cashly Cole saga, Gallas became instrumental to any deal going through between clubs, Chelsea & Arsenal - so it failed to materialise.

I know from friends who have interviewed Gallas recently that he is 100% disillusioned with life at Arsenal. (He's not the only player btw) - and this very well could be his route out of the Emirates.

I telephoned my source at Liverpool tonight (Monday) and he said nothing about it - and he was being truthful I think - but he said - "Rafa has several targets in his sights and there are still a few to come that will definitely surprise people - he knows he's being backed as he wants, and at the moment he's a happy Rafa".

My source told me the only reason Benitez pulled out of the Malouda deal was because of how vocal the Frenchman was in joining Chelsea.

What do you guys make of all these youngsters you've signed?

You have signed an absolute shitload. One Ajdarevic I bought as a 15 yr old on footy manager for my aldershot team from some obscure swedish club.

I dont see how any of them will ever get there chance though with all these signings you are making, I think it is gonna be a waste of a lot of talent.

I tend to agree with what you're saying Chris, everyone want's to be there at the moment though and almost all of them will be given opportunities to break in to the 1st team.
There's been a change with the youth team management and several of last seasons youth have now been given shirts in this seasons squad, i guess the new management are recruiting, didn't we sign one from Ross County?

It looks like we've about 45 players for next season now

Big boys prepare for Heinze scrap

Liverpool are ready to meet Manchester United's £6million asking price for Gabriel Heinze, but the Premiership champions are determined to prevent the Argentine full-back joining their bitter rivals.
Under new FIFA legislation, Heinze can buy out the last two years of his United contract, leaving the Red Devils powerless to prevent him moving to Anfield. And according to The People, Liverpool are ready to test that ruling.
United are already involved in a bitter transfer wrangle for Heinze's countryman Carlos Tevez, and this new row could escalate to similar heights.
Heinze, currently in Venezuela preparing for the Copa America final, has slipped down the pecking order at Old Trafford and Sir Alex Ferguson will not stand in his way if he wants to leave.
However, Ferguson and other senior United figures would rather see him move abroad than become the first player to make the move from Old Trafford to Anfield in over 40 years.
The paper claims Heinze is keen on a move to Liverpool, but would rather go with United's blessing.

Liverpool: Hands off Crouch

The trio are all showing an interest in the gangly goalgetter and were under the impression he may be surplus to requirements at Anfield following the arrivals of Fernando Torres, Ryan Babel and Andriy Voronin.
However, Reds boss Rafael Benitez plans to rotate his five strikersthis season and is under no pressure to sell after already allowing Craig Bellamy to join West Ham for £7.5million.
Crouch has two years left on his current deal and Benitez believes the 26-year-old is worth in excess of the £16million Tottenham spent on Darren Bent, according to the News of the World.
Benitez rates has previously told the England international he must stay and fight for his place this season.
"The only thing I can say is that Peter Crouch will be staying with us. I have said to Crouch that he must fight for his position and he will stay with us," he said.

Aurelio will miss start of season

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez says Brazilian left-back Fabio Aurelio will not be fit for the start of the season.
The 27-year-old ruptured his Achilles tendon during a Champions League tie against Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in April and is still recovering.
Benitez told the club's website: "Fabio isn't fit. It could be another month before he recovers. We knew it would be a long time when he got injured.
"He is improving, but it is not easy when you have this kind of injury."
Auerlio made 25 appearances during his first season at Liverpool after joining on a free from Spanish side Valencia last summer.

I cant believe we are still trying to get Heinze, be good if we could but from utd straight to us

We've got to keep Crouchy, end of. Shame about Aurelio.
