Congratulations where they’re due, so a doff of the cap to today’s Mirror for running an “exclusive” story about Emile Heskey returning to Liverpool. Great work, guys. Of course, The Spoiler did run the story over a month ago, but perhaps that’s just splitting hairs. It feels new.
Either way, it opens up yet another football debate. Last time around Heskey worked best as the bruiser protecting dinky little strikers like Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler. This time he’d be lining up with Torres, who could possibly beat him in a fight (don’t be fooled by the smooth face, people). Do Liverpool really need him?
Let us know what you think with a vote and/or a comment…
The small news resting alongside all the big news in yesterday’s tabloids was that Liverpool and Villa are going to go toe-to-toe in January to bag Emile Heskey - the man who caused more than a few brows to furrow when he was bought by the Merseyside club for a then-record £11 million in 2000. This time, he’d cost around £3 million, which looks like decent value for the resurgent England man.
