Football transfer rumours: Liverpool to sign Tom Huddlestone?

So all Carlos Tevez has to do if he wants to play for Manchester City again is apologise. It's that simple: just say sorry. Any language you want, Carlos, The Mill knows you don't do English. Not that we're judging, The Mill doesn't either. Once he's worked out precisely how he's going to say lo siento , the Argentinian will have to decide how lo siento he is. Judging by the complete lack of contrition on show so far, not very, but that's not a problem because with Manchester City's initial hard-line stance now more Mr Barraclough than Mr Mackay, it won't be long before Tevez is receiving an apology for his apology, and perhaps a new company car , a muffin basket and Roberto Mancini's parking space . Or he can just take the Father Jack approach to conflict resolution . That's all it will take to satisfy Mancini, who probably won't notice a statue of Tevez being erected outside the Etihad Stadium while the striker is apologising to him. Either way, Mancini has said there is no chance that Tevez will be heading to Napoli in a straight swap for Ezequiel Lavezzi . "No one from City will be given away," he parped, while furiously hanging on to Wayne Bridge. In other news, Tottenham will be offered a cut-price £10m deal – £4m less than was originally agreed – to sign the on-loan striker Emmanuel Adebayor in January. But no one from City will be given away. Liverpool are panicking after Steven Gerrard's ankle injury means they are down to their last 473 midfielders and probably feel pretty stupid for letting Christian Poulsen go in the summer. They'll move for Tottenham oil-tanker Tom Huddlestone in a bid to avert the crisis and inject a menacing lack of pace in the middle of the park. Huddlestone and Charlie Adam together. That's some collection of big bones. Manchester United are looking on with interest after hearing that Real Madrid squirrel Angel di María , who played Alvin in Alvin and the Chipmunks, is unhappy with contract negotiations at the Bernabéu. José Mourinho doesn't want to sell, though, which may scupper United's plans to pay Madrid in Monopoly money. Stoke are set to hold talks with VVV Venlo's Nigerian striker Michael Uchebo . He's apparently 6ft 5in, although this video suggests he's 6ft 7in. Tony Pulis does have a type, doesn't he? Fulham are "set for a tussle" with Atalanta for GAIS's Swedish winger Mervan Celik , although as they're the poshest club in England, they'll probably do the gentlemanly thing, stand aside and console themselves by signing Celtic's Mark Wilson instead.
