Monday's rumours
Meanwhile at Liverpool, Rafael Benítez will pursue his attempts to salvage something from the Houllier ruins by signing 17-year-old Argentinian forward Sergio Aguero who, absurdly, has already been dubbed the new Lionel Messi (who at 21 clearly needs an heir). Aguero's club Independiente value him at £15m and reckon that if Liverpool don't stump that up, then Barcelona or Real Madrid will.
