NEW TALENT

Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal with Boca Juniors to sign their highly promising 17yr old left back, Emiliano Insua.

Insua was part of the Argentina under 20's side that won the recent World Championships and is said to be one of the brightest prospects in South American football.

Liverpool will take Insua on loan for almost £100,000 initially, after which they will pay a further £1million to make the move permanent in the summer.

POSSIBLE MUCH-NEEDED WONGA EN ROUTE!?

Liverpool chairman David Moores and his chief executive Rick Parry are entertaining George Gillett Jr today.

The wealthy American businessman is on Merseyside to try and conclude a deal with the Reds that would see him pump millions of pounds into the club.

Gillett and his advisors have been in talks with club officials at Anfield all day which is why today's scheduled board meeting was cancelled at short notice.

After he was shown around the stadium, Gillett was then personally taken on a tour of the Melwood training facilities by the Liverpool chairman and this has been confirmed by our source at the complex.

Paisley is the greatest

Mark Lawrenson believes Bob Paisley is the greatest British manager of all time.
Man Utd boss Alex Ferguson is earning plenty of plaudits on his 20th anniversary in charge of the Old Trafford outfit and while BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson was quick to praise Ferguson's achievements he said Bob Paisley was still the greatest manager this country has ever produced.

"If Sir Alex Ferguson did take time to reflect on his 20th anniversary as manager of Manchester United yesterday I bet one regret was at the forefront of his mind. Because personally, I don't think he has won enough European Cups - and I think he knows that too," said the former Liverpool defender.

"Of course, you can't argue with his record or deny his greatness, but what's the greatest honour in club football? It's being champions of Europe and I think Fergie will be disappointed that he hasn't taken those chances to add to the one success in 1999.

"This is why, in terms of who the greatest manager in English football history is, I go for Bob Paisley. I know everyone has their favourites in this debate - Clough, Busby, Stein, etc - and I know I'm biased because Bob signed me for Liverpool.

"But the fact is he won the European Cup three times and is the only manager in history to have done it. It's the most difficult test and it's a great achievement to do it once, which Ferguson deserves credit for.

"But then Rafael Benitez has done it once. And Jose Mourinho. And Jock Stein and Matt Busby. And Brian Clough broke up Paisley's monopoly of the trophy by taking it twice.

"But out of all these great managers, the man who won three in just five years is my personal number one and I have a feeling that even if Ferguson goes on for another 20 years , he'll never match what Paisley did on the continent."

GONZO CAR CRASH - MOMO PUNCHES BLUENOSE?

Momo is boss.

A bit of tittle-tattle from off the field this Monday evening.

Firstly reports from several LFC forums indicate Mark Gonzalez was involved in a collision near to Liverpool's training ground this evening (the winger is believed to be unhurt), and secondly Momo Sissoko has been accused of decking an Evertonian in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Momo was alleged to be in a take-away in the Smithdown Road area of Liverpool at about 3am in the morning of Sunday (why is beyond us too!). It is believed an argument developed and an 18 year old from Wavertree (allegedly) took a punch off big Momo. The 18 year old is believed to be an Everton fan.

Liverpool FC spokesman Ian Cotton was unable to comment on the incident.

A spokesman for Merseyside Police said last night: "We can confirm that officers are investigating a claim from a man in relation to an assault that is alleged to have occurred at 3.30am at a takeaway on Smithdown Road."

We do not condone violence.

Momo is Boss.
