Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has dismissed suggestions that the club approached Manchester
City over the weekend with a proposal to swap Andy Carroll for exiled Argentine Carlos Tevez.
Carroll, who has struggled continuously with form and fitness since his £35 million move from
Newcastle United in last year's January transfer window, recently spoke about his determination to
make a mark at Anfield.
With Liverpool set to face Wolves on transfer deadline day, there was always some worry on our
end as to how we'd manage to fit in both match coverage and any last-minute transfer insanity.
Turns out that the club and Kenny Dalglish were fully sympathetic to our concerns, as today the
official site put out a brief statement from Dalglish that under no circumstance will any new
senior players be brought in before midnight in Paris on Tuesday.
There's nothing like coming home! Just ask Lucas Leiva, who showed up to his
first day of recuperation at Liverpool's Melwood training ground yesterday after spending six weeks
back home in Brasil. The midfielder received a warm welcome from the club's staff and of course
teammates Dirk Kuyt and Pepe Reina were also around to show
their support.
Under-pressure Liverpool striker Andy Carroll admits that the return of skipper Steven Gerrard
has boosted his hopes of performing more consistently for the Reds.
Carroll, who was signed for over £35 million from Newcastle United last January, has scored
only four times in 25 appearances for the Merseyside outfit, leading to continuous criticism from
both within and outside the club.
Andy Carroll is hoping Steven Gerrard's comeback can help kick-start the striker's difficult start
to his Liverpool career.
Injuries to both players have resulted in Carroll and Gerrard starting just one game together -
last week's Carling Cup semi-final first leg win at Manchester City - since the forward's
£35million move from Newcastle last January.
Brighton & Hove Albion starlet Shamir Goodwin has emerged as a transfer target for Liverpool.
The 17-year-old striker has come to the attention of the Barclays Premier League outfit after some
fine form for the Seagulls youth team, according to The Daily Star, with the Reds now reportedly
considering a move for the player.
We wish you a Melwood Xmas

pledged that Liverpool will keep working hard at Melwood to ensure they turn chances into goals
over the coming weeks.
While the England winger accepts the Reds were not at their best against the Swans, he cites
several good goalscoring opportunities as proof that Kenny Dalglish's side can perhaps consider
themselves somewhat unfortunate not to have taken all three points.

Anfield as a result of the controversies currently enveloping star-striker Luis Suarez.

Club vs. Country? There's only one winner!
Another set of internationals means yet another two-week break in Premier League action. Isn't
it about time something was changed in the International set-up? International Breaks – I hate
them. As the press get over-excited about England playing the might of Montenegro or Scotland
travelling to face those footballing-giants Liechtenstein, for me, it hardly merits a look.
Liverpool FC was making hard work of the Merseyside derby – and then Kenny Dalglish introduced
the substitutes. We did not look like we were going to break Everton down and we missed a great
opportunity when Dirk Kuyt's penalty was saved by Tim Howard at the end of the first half. With 10
men, Everton just sat back and we were struggling but it was game long marred by the wrongful
decision to send off Jack Rodwell.
Matthew Lewis/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) Joe Cole arrived on Merseyside just over a year ago
with high hopes, a big contract and tons of belief that he was going to help lead the Reds return
to the promised land that they have been so long removed from.
However, that did not happen as Cole continued to fall off the wagon and was left to fill mostly a
fringe role last season as the Reds chased fifth place but could not claim it at the death last
year.
Kenny Dalglish today insisted Liverpool's derby debutants will be well-prepared for the task of
taking on Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime.
