The latest transfer gossip, rumours and damned lies

Peter Crouch to Liverpool
Despite selling him to Portsmouth for £11m last year, Rafa Benitez is interested in bringing Crouchie back into the fold, say the Daily Star. It would cost £12m to steal the lanky striker away from potential suitors Tottenham.

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Crouch has snubbed Sunderland and Harry Redknapp has been quoted in the Daily Mail saying wage demands may scupper the deal, so a return to Abbey Clancy’s homeland isn’t unfeasible.

John Terry to stay at Chelsea
Following Didier Drogba’s confident endorsement of his captain, Carlo Ancelotti has insisted Mr Chelsea will not sell his soul:

“John Terry, I repeat, is the captain of this team and he will be the symbol of this club and this team for many years.

“It’s not been a problem in these last few days. He will be the captain of Chelsea in the future.”

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: JT, we await your official confirmation…

Andrea Dossena to Napoli
The defender didn’t make much of an impact at Anfield this season, and as such is being touted for a move back to Italy. Liverpool are said to be keen to recoup £6m of the £7m they paid last summer.

The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Dossena has also been linked with Juve, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has admitted negotiations are ongoing.
