Arsene Wenger will be seeking to make good the the Arsenal board's promises of a financial boost, by making a £15m bid for Fullham defender Brede Hangeland.

Casey Chance is out to lunch Liverpool owners do have an outstanding loan they are trying to refinance but there has never I repeat never been any discussion around selling players to finance the loan.
Come on Casey get you act together Liverpool returned Keane to Spurs a move that saved them around 15m pounds, Portmouth still owe Liverpool for Crouch, another 7m pounds, and the rumour mill has it that Rafa has another 20m for new purchases.
The players rumoured to be sold include some that are already out of Liverpool, Pennant and Veronin and some of the current players are also rumoured to be on the for sale list include, Dossena, Babel and Alonso, but most Liverpool fans do not want to see Alonso go but he may want to return to his homeland.
So before you make outlandish suggestions that Liverpool are selling because of "financial difficulties" get you facts right (as Rafa would say) and stop making these outlandish suggestions that have no truth in them.
