Henrik Larsson
It
looks like we can definitely strike Henrik Larsson from our Christmas
wish list after he stated on his website, that he has no intention
of leaving Sweden for the Premiership. Apart from the £70k
a week being a stumbling block, Henrik it seems is staying put,
so back to Plan B.
Henrik
says: "It’s amazing. I’ve read so many stories linking
me with a move to Everton and a move to Aston Villa when I haven’t
spoken to either club or any other club in England. There is absolutely
no truth in any stories linking me with a transfer to The Premiership.
The details of talks I’m meant to have had are totally made up.
I don’t know where these stories have come from, but they are just
untrue. In an ideal world if I do continue to play football it will
be in Sweden and not anywhere else. I’ll keep you all up to date
with anything that happens, but believe me there is no truth whatsoever
in these rumours." (15/12/08)
The
Swedish International will cost around £70,000 a week and
therefore would not be in Everton's price range for a 37 year old.

Moyesy
will have to plunder the January transfer market for a front man
with injuries to The Yak and James Vaughan limiting his options
up front. The press today is full of Henrik Larsson making his way
to Goodison on a six month loan deal, and it is believed the player
himself would love another crack at the Premiership after a similar
deal at Old Trafford two seasons ago. Henrik made his name at Glasgow
Celtic, before moving onto Barcelona at the latter stages of his
career.
