Quote of the day

"You never want to lose great players and we never wanted to lose Andy. I'd take him back if I had the chance. If the fee offered by Liverpool had not been so high, he'd still be here."

Wishful thinking from the Silver Fox - I'm not sure what Liverpool would accept for their £35m misfiring* striker, but somehow I doubt they'd be prepared to cut their losses so severely as to make the fee palatable to Jabba...

* True at time of writing, probably not true by 9.30 tonight.
