GIANTS GO TO WAR OVER HEINZE

  Liverpool are ready to meet Manchester United's £6million asking price for Gabriel Heinze, but the Premiership champions are determined to prevent the Argentine full-back joining their bitter rivals. Under new FIFA legislation, Heinze can buy out the last two years of his United contract, leaving the Red Devils powerless to prevent him moving to Anfield. And according to The People, Liverpool are ready to test that ruling.
  
  United are already involved in a bitter transfer wrangle for Heinze's countryman Carlos Tevez, and this new row could escalate to similar heights. Heinze, currently in Venezuela preparing for the Copa America final, has slipped down the pecking order at Old Trafford and Sir Alex Ferguson will not stand in his way if he wants to leave.
  
  However, Ferguson and other senior United figures would rather see him move abroad than become the first player to make the move from Old Trafford to Anfield in over 40 years. The paper claims Heinze is keen on a move to Liverpool, but would rather go with United's blessing.

  Can Henize don't go? Its sad to see him leave. he can induct Tevez into the premiership proper.
  
  Considering Man U did not sign any defenders this time, Heinze is useful to be around - just in case Evra stops performing. I am yet to be convinced by him - he looks fragile although he is fast and can get knocked off the ball.
  
  Moreover, his tackles are not as mean as Heinze's.

  in my humble opinion, he is probably one of the better left back in the business before he was injuried, but don't know the extend of his injuries cause it might be the reason for SAF willingness to let him go, as with most of SAF released players, they're usually on the down or left with a year or two in them when they're being released

  he is getting old and its showing on the pitch. besides he also gets injured too often. despite that, he is one of the most tough tackling defenders i've ever seen
