Is that it until January?

[homer1]

just relaying some info that i heard mate thats all your spot on with your assumption that i don't have a source mate and it was a genuine mistake on my behalf which i opologise to people on here if i've misled them at all , but it was only my intension to share the info i'd heard with you people on here and not intended to upset or rattle anyone.

I think its safer for me to get back to being a lurker where i can cause no harm to genuine insiders and their info.

I'm genuinlly sorry if i've upset anyone with what i honestly thought was unharmful hearsay, and mods, please delete my post if needed

Bit dramatic mate, only questioning as to whether you have a source or not as always interested in getting snippits of info that haven't become public knowledge

Too often people come on hinting towards knowing info when they obviously don't which can be annoying, however if this is not the case here then apologies and no need to go back to lurking - more contributors the better

Rafael Benitez believes Gabriel Heinze had no alternative but to leave Manchester United and England after the Barclays Premier League blocked his proposed move to Liverpool.

The messy saga reached its conclusion with the Argentinian defender joining Real Madrid on a four-year contract.

Heinze, 29, was still considering whether to launch an appeal against the decision when the Spanish champions made their move.

Liverpool manager Benitez could not hide his hurt at seeing the player finally slip out of his grasp.

He said: "I am really disappointed with the situation because we had 100% confidence he would be arriving at Liverpool.

"But after the hearing it was impossible for him to remain here. He was so disappointed he knew he would have to go to another country."

Benitez maintains that his club got a raw deal from the panel that adjudicated on the matter.

"It was a special situation - because we are Liverpool," he said.

"The verdict was a surprise for everyone, our lawyers, the player and his agent. I could not believe it."

Although Heinze still wanted to explore the Liverpool option, he knew that by dragging the situation out even further, his chances of moving out of England before the August 31 transfer deadline would effectively disappear.

Having already had one lot of talks with Real earlier in the summer, he opted to join them instead.

Benitez is now considering his options following Heinze's departure to Spain although he is running out of time with the transfer window due to close in eight days.

However he insists his focus at the moment is on the Premier League match against newly-promoted Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Benitez said: "We need to analyse the situation and look at the squad. It is not easy to find a player of Heinze's quality.

"However for the moment we have to concentrate on the game at Sunderland. That is the important thing."

England midfielder Steven Gerrard is expected to be ruled out because of a broken toe.

However Benitez claims he has enough good cover at the club to cope with Gerrard's absence.

"It is clear we have a better squad and more players in this position, " said the Anfield coach.

"If we need to manage now it will be easier, I am sure."

That`s the point thugh,Heinze jumped at the chance to join Real 1 day after the first hearing judgement against us.
There was an appeal and higher courts if need be.





Either Heinze or ManU took us for a ride.

Only that we are still interested in Cheillini but not at the price Juventus want.

I have heard some whispers about that one of the top four would be interested in Mertesacker.

Now Mertesacker is a good defender.
I reckon that could be the Chavs or us though.

According to some bloke off RAOTL we've made a bid for Matty Taylor (Pompey).

Alves will go to Real Madrid now - we should concentrate our efforts on Micah Richards.

City won't sell the lad...
