Heinze "no-go" to Liverpool!
-
It has been confirmed that Manchester United full-back Gabriel Heinze has lost his appeal at the FA and will not join Liverpool this season.
The news marks the end of HeinzeÂ’s hopes of joining Liverpool this summer and poses the Argentine several quandaries.
The situation began in July when United told Heinze that he was free to leave the club to anyone matching the £6.8million valuation.
The player had become disillusioned with life at Old Trafford after being usurped as starting left-back by Patrice Evra and was desperate to find first-team football.
Liverpool quickly emerged as the front-runners in the race to sign Heinze who had also attracted muted interest from Juventus, however United boss Alex Ferguson insisted that Heinze would not join Liverpool or any of the clubÂ’s close rivals.
The turnaround infuriated Heinze who had learnt that Liverpool had met the valuation, quickly prompting the 29-year-old to seek legal action to force through a move to Anfield.
Having liaised with Liverpool lawyers, it was decided that the case be taken to the Football Association who would govern whether United were in their rights to refuse a transfer.
The decision by the arbitration panel confirms that Heinze will not be transferred to Liverpool.
More details to followÂ…. -
Might as well lah.
He's old already, relatively, 29 years going to 30.
We might as well get Giorgio Chellini, younger and more potential.

A Premier League statement read: “The Premier League Board appointed panel having heard submissions of evidence from both parties has ruled to dismiss Gabriel Heinze’s case.
“The letter was unambiguous as it only envisages only an ‘international transfer’. It did not create an obligation or binding agreement for the club to transfer the player to any particular club.
“The letter is evidence of an intention to negotiate both between the parties and with potential buying clubs and not evidence of any intention to create legal intentions.”
So what next for Heinze? Well, the player will be given the right to appeal against the decision but this could take more than the ten days remaining in the transfer window.
Another option would be to pursue a move to Lyon who have already stated their interest in the left-back. Alternatively Heinze could await the decision of the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona who have been offered the player at a cut price.
The least likely of the options is for Heinze to stay at United and fight for his place. Ferguson has already conceded that fan contempt will not alter his selection policy, but whether fans will ever forgive the player for anchoring after a move to rivals Liverpool is unlikely. -
where he goes is seconday. liverpool has somehow made man utd lose a player.

That is an unfair statement. It takes two hands to clap. Heinze is equally at fault. He has little love and loyalty for Man Utd.Originally posted by kopiosatu:where he goes is seconday. liverpool has somehow made man utd lose a player. -

Premier League statement re: G Heinze
The Premier League has issued the following statement on the case of Gabriel Heinze v Manchester United FC.
The Premier League Board appointed panel, having heard submissions and evidence from both parties, has ruled to dismiss Gabriel Heinze's (the Player) case.
The Hearing concluded that nature and intention of the disputed 13 June 2007 letter (the Letter), especially when taken in context of verbal discussions and Manchester United FC's (the Club) transfer policy, was unambiguous in that it envisages only an international transfer.
Furthermore the Hearing finds the Letter constitutes an 'agreement to agree', and did not create an obligation or binding agreement for the Club to transfer the Player to any particular club. In other words the Letter is evidence of an intention to negotiate, both between the parties and with potential buying clubs, and not evidence of any intention to create legal relations.
Any appeal will be heard by the Premier League Appeals Committee, which is made up of an independent legally qualified Chair, a member of the Premier League Panel and a PFA appointee. -
Sigh...even if he stayed, his chances of first team play will be even more less, regardless of what Fergie says. And he will hv hell of a hard time with the fans.

whats loyalty in the first place? those who profess loyalty are actually treated very well. i bet thats the reason they stay.Originally posted by Slipshade:That is an unfair statement. It takes two hands to clap. Heinze is equally at fault. He has little love and loyalty for Man Utd. -
He was actually no longer in Fergie's plans... He has lost his place to Evra since last season... Fergie wanted to get rid of him since the break of the season that is why the letter was given to his agent but only thing no takers, only Pool's ah ben who is trying desperately hard to get him to the extend of even offering him Pool's lawyers... Now he can rot in the reserve...
-
haha. deserve it... rot on the bench man...
he being dropped in favour of another player and then demanding to leave. no professionalism at all. -
Instead of staying to fight for his place, proving his worth, and to improve on his game, he chose to force an exit in such an undignified manner. He's pathetic.
-
get someone younger bah.
He might be good but age is catching up. -
his tackles are good. but he lack pace anyway.... i remember bellamy pwn-ing him last season... when man utd played liverpool
