2009 best tabloid headline involving Liverpool was this cracker
Now one has to accept that tabloids deliberately put out ridiculous headlines to attract readers but the article below by John Richardson of the Daily Express is without doubt the best of the lot.
It is so dumb and so ridiculous that it is in fact legendary.
SIR ALEX WANTS TORRES TO BE THE NEW RONALDO
SIR ALEX FERGUSON is planning an audacious raid on Liverpool for Kop striking hero Fernando Torres.
Armed with the £80 million windfall from Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Real Madrid, the Manchester United boss is determined to make his own impact in a transfer market which is becoming bloated with money from the big clubs.
Liverpool hitman Torres is the shock target, as Sir Alex knows that a bid of around £40m would have to be seriously considered by United’s title rivals who have severe cash problems.
If Ferguson could pull off the coup, it would be a slap in the face for Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez, who was involved in a war of words with the Scot during the second half of the season.
Liverpool, who paid £20m to bring Torres from Atletico Madrid, would fight tooth and nail to hang on to the Spaniard but a British transfer record offer would give the Anfield boardroom serious food for thought.
Wonder if John Richardson who wrote this masterpeice can top that this year, maybe Sir Alex is being lined up to take over from Rafa.
