If you're a subscriber to conspiracy theorist, the timing could never been better for the UK newspapers to run a story about ``the likelihood of Emile Heskey, a striker for Wigan, a former Liverpool most-expensive striker (then), is not the surprised target by Rafa... to cover for Torres.'' Wow... what a coincidence! What the hell does Rafa need a cover for Torres in Heskey? Aren't we have that position filled by Dirt Kuyt already? Oooo... Kuyt didn't score as much as all of us would've wanted. What about Babel? Nope. Rafa prefer him to play on wide. Keane? He is at the moment still considered `ON TRIAL' as he scored only 1 goal til now. So is this the very reason why the UK newspapers think Heskey merit the attention and an invitation to return to Anfield? Funny.
Personally, I don't have any issues for Heskey to make a comeback to Liverpool FC. My return of love to Liverpool (after a mild obscurity i.e losing interest) between 1998-2001 was helped by the lethal duo strikers of Heskey and Michael Owen. The big & small formula really worked on Houllier's LFC team then. The dynamic duo even prove the pair also present a powerful combination on the international stage. Remember England vs Germany. The 5-1 win. wowseee...
If the story has any ring of true in it, Rafa won't be seen as weird in taking Heskey back. After all, Heskey was sold off not by Rafa but Houllier. I wonder if we have that precedent : a player sold off, then taken back. I remember Rush. But he was sold to Juv. It's like a sabbatical for him. Whereas, a player (in Heskey's case) was `expelled' for out-of-form by Liverpool (he didn't score more than 13 goals in his last season, if I remember it correctly). So since then, he wandered from club to another, finding his form. Lucky for Heskey, this time around, he proves he still can play on the big stage. He played brilliantly alongside Rooney (which I didn't bother to watch... hey who bothers about Belarus & Kazakstan... just like Malaysia beat Nepal...oh so proud and loud unnecessarily... ).
Is a player like Heskey - a former player of LFC, 30 years old... English, a good target for Liverpool? Do we need another 30 years old striker? Isn't Keane is old enough?

By the way, the game start at 10pm tonight. I'm working today. I should be home at 8.30pm. Sorry bros, this is the very reason I am reluctant to meet you guys up last night.
