here is a classic example of how rumours plague the very existance of the average football fan who uses the net. and the 'chinese whispers' effect caught red handed in action....
whether or not this latest rumour has any legs to it, time will tell. for me personally the conception of this piece is far more comically pertinant than its realisation...
heres how this one hatched:
1.The Daily Mirror: (respected by many here in the North-West) largely.

WICKED WHISPER

MY mate's a big Liverpool fan and he saw Rafa Benitez's char lady mooching around Albert Dock. He was told that Italian World Cup winning striker Luca Toni could be on his way to Anfield. Toni, Crouchy and Bellamy up front .. magic!.Ian - Kop fan
and then to this.....
1. Koptalk (disregarded by most across the world) generally.
Reports originating from Italy today claim that Liverpool have made an enquiry regarding the availability of Fiorentina striker Luca Toni.
The 29-year-old Italian hitman has asked to be allowed to leave the club who will start the Serie A season with a 19-point deduction because of their involvement in the Italian match-fixing scandal.
Toni claims there is interest from Premier League, La Liga and Serie A clubs although our speculated interest appears dodgy.
Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt remains Rafa's preferred option.
