Van der Vaart rumour nonsense

Liverpool were never in for Rafael Van der Vaart. The player's agent claimed Van der Vaart turned down a move to Liverpool in favour of joining Spurs but Roy Hodgson insists the Reds never put a bid in for the winger. "No, that's not true. Those stories can get very irritating," said the boss. "An agent rings you up to ask if you want to sign van der Vaart, you say 'No' and then the next minute you're one of the clubs that want to sign him. "I apologise to van der Vaart if his agent gave him another story. I think he's a very good player, but he's not the profile of the player we were looking for. "When it came up I said, 'No, we have players in his position.'"
