The Premier League will rule in favour of Gabriel Heinze's proposed switch to Liverpool with the Argentine set to join Liverpool by the end of the week although he is unlikely to feature until the end of the month due to match fitness.

Arthur Boruc was not in talks with Arsenal as he was at Barrowfeild having a fitness test for the Aberdeen game
I have heard the Joe Cole rumour too as well as, of course the Deco connection. I do not think that is it is the both of them, it's either or. If Cole goes North then Deco will head to the capital.
The Belletti deal is thought to be pretty much done with further enquiries regarding Deco, possibly, but the big one is Thuram. I first first heard of this a few months back in the Spanish press and have heard only a few whispers since. As Steven Carr has played himself into the reserves, at best, the two potential signings would secure the Newcastle right side of defense with Geremi and Solano, if he stays.
Afc. Wenger will sign three players. yoan gouffran, palacios, and Dutchman ron vlaar for defensive cover from Feyenoord. sa–go0ner

Martin O'Neil needs a full back and a central defender and is being priced out of the market by ludicrous price valuations placed on less than average players. How about John O'Shea? Hearing whispers in the corridors that he may be prised away from M. U. at a reasonable price. And what has happened to Phil Bardsley? Went back to M. U. after his loan spell at VP, but has he gone anywhere during the Summer? So many stars at M. U. and a lot of them are sitting on the bench. You do not improve by watching the others

Bad news for Everton and England fans Phil Neville spotted shopping in Tesco in Haslingden today, and parked in disabled bay. Obviously, Phil is too decent a guy to occupy a bay meant for disabled drivers, so he must be Carrying a serious knock. Very worrying for Everton and England in their European ambitions.
