Ribery has just dropped from 66/1 to 8/13 to be a Liverpool player next season.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez does not expect to make any further signings for 'big, big money' after being linked with a bid for Franck Ribery.

Bayern Munich winger Ribery had been backed in to odds-on favouritism to join Liverpool following a summer of speculation over his future.

However, Benitez has seemingly ruled out a move for the France international, who has previously stated he would either stay at Bayern or join Real Madrid.

Having spent in the region of £17million to sign Glen Johnson from Portsmouth, Benitez is not planning any more major transfer deals.

"I will be really pleased if we can keep this squad together because I don't think we need to do too many things," said Benitez.

"I don't think we'll be signing anyone else for big, big money, just maybe the ones who can fit into our team.

That doesn't really rule anything out.

The gutter press have been at there absolute lowest shit stirring this transfer window.

Liverpool have rejected an offer for striker Fernando Torres, believed to be around £60m, from an English club other than Manchester City, says Reds manager Rafael Benitez.

"It was a proper offer, a big one, but we said no and he wanted to stay here," said Benitez.

F*** O** ManUre

ASTON VILLA will turn their attention to Werder Bremen star Mesut Ozil after refusing to up their bid for Fabian Delph.

Boss Martin O'Neill saw his £6million offer for Leeds midfielder Delph, 19, rejected and believes his inexperience does not justify a higher fee.

Let's face it O'Niel...Delph didn't want to go to a smaller club

Ferguson rules out more signings

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he will not make any further signings during the summer.

United have brought in Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia and Bordeaux's Gabriel Obertan to replace departed forwards Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.

Ferguson revealed he had bid for Karim Benzema, who joined Real Madrid, but insisted he had no further targets.

"It is the end of our business," he said. "Stories about who we are supposed to be getting - forget it."

ManUre are my favourites to drop out of the top 4

i particularly like a quote from carlos tevez in which he stated that he couldn't join liverpool because he didn't want to upset united fans because of the rivalry! so . . . he's signed for man city

Ferguson is reported as describing the current levels of spending as "stupid". Pot calling the kettle black?

Berbatov for 30Million was not stupid....it was insane

ManUre have always paid big money for top players and now complain about other teams getting their turn....This has been the best transfer window in a long time

I read somewhere that Man City`s formation will be 1, 1, 8
