LIVERPOOL are ready to call Martin O'Neill's bluff in the bidding war for Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry - after emphatically denying claims they have tabled a £17m 'take it or leave it' offer.
Reports today claimed the Reds made a substantially improved £15m bid last night, with £2m of potential add-ons attached.
Liverpool strongly denied those reports today, but confirmed the clubs are still in dialogue over the deal.
RAFA BENITEZ today declared he has added "a winner" to his Anfield coaching staff with the appointment of Argentine defender Maurico Pellegrino.
The 36-year-old centre-back had an undistinguished spell as a player with the Reds in 2005, making just 12 appearances before returning to Spain.
But boss Benitez believes Pellegrino's coaching skills will prove invaluable as he has now filled the vacancies created by the departures of Pako Ayesteran and Alex Miller
EDDIE BISHOP turned back the clock on Saturday night.
A veteran of Tranmere's Cup giant-killing days - when top flight sides came to Prenton Park and were regularly demolished - he was the hero again as Rovers upset Liverpool in the final of the Mersey Masters.
Bishop struck twice at a packed Echo Arena - for a final flourish to a night of rich entertainment
RAFA BENITEZ believes that he can end Liverpool's 18-year quest for a league title next season.
And the Reds boss admits that lifting the Premier League crown would be "the biggest achievement of my career."
Benitez has already guided Liverpool to Champions League glory, while in Spain he ended Valencia's 31-year wait for a La Liga crown, then added a league and UEFA Cup double two years later.
FERNANDO TORRES stands on the brink of ending a 44-year trophy drought for Spain this weekend.
But Liverpool will be the beneficiaries if the Reds striker can fire his country to European Championship glory in Vienna tomorrow night.
That's the view of Roger Hunt, one of the greatest Liverpool strikers of all time, and the last Reds star to figure in a major international final.
