Heskey Rumours Make For Interesting Reading

Posted by

We’re coming up to the middle of October and even now the transfer rumours for January are coming in thick and fast. The latest rumour coming out of Fleet Street is that the Reds’ may be going in for Emile Heskey, at a cut-price of course.

On the face of it, this is a potential deal which will be bring out mixed feelings in Liverpool supporters. Many may think about what the England international can bring to the squad, a solid back-up for Torres as well as someone who works hard for the team, creating space and holding up the ball well. Others will remember the frustrating spell Heskey experienced during his time at Anfield, putting in some poor performances and rarely finding the back of the net.

It really does depend which view point you take, but there’s one thing that can’t be argued about- the reported bid. If Rafa is looking to add Emile to the squad with a bid of £1.5m then there’s nothing to lose. It’s not a bank-breaking fee for a player who offers that little bit extra to the team which could turn last seasons draws into wins and this seasons loses into wins. There’s no doubting that for that price Heskey would be a sound investment.

Anyway, seeing is believing and the Daily Star aren’t exactly well-known for their accurate reporting.

  1. I can’t see him coming. The whole point of him leaving Villa is to get first team football which he is in no way guaranteed at Liverpool.

    He’ll go to Fulham I reckon.

  2. When i read about a disgruntled Heskey at Villa..
    I immediately thought of how handy Heskey can be on Rafa’s bench.. coming on as the “gangsta” striker to shake things up in the penalty box…

    For that cut-price… I will more than welcome big Emile for the run-in into the Cups and the League.. and he’s NOT CUP-TIED !!

  3. Alan.. this whole bit about regular first team football and World Cup squad is just an excuse !!

    Do you think Capello will add him to his 4 striker roster ?
    England’s got Rooney, Defoe and Crouch as the confirmed ones..
    The 4th spot will be a toss between Bent [who’s doing great with Sunderland.. but we look to his off day this weekend against us !! :-)] and maybe another young striker..

    Certainly not Emile…

  4. Ey! I’ll have you know the Daily Star had a fine piece of factual reporting about Everton FC on September 27.

    And guess who wrote it… :P

  5. Heskey? Back at Liverpool? Never.
    The guy is worse than useless. Doesn’t actually have any of the attributes he’s supposed to have.
    Just because a piece of paper lists him as being strong doesn’t make it so. Neither does it make him hold up play well. Neither does it make him work hard or make the right runs. Owen scored a hat full in spite of Ivanhoe, not because of him. Most of Owen’s supply came from the midfield.
    It would be a massive step backwards to waste even one pence on this useless lump of lard.
