Emile Heskey's going Nowhere

Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has denied that Emile Heskey is leaving Anfield for either middlesborough or italian giants AC Milan.
Gerard Houllier has made it clear that he's not for sale.
"He's someone we are definitely interested in and we are speaking with Liverpool," McClaren said.
But Houllier insisted: "Nobody will be leaving. Surely people know what I think about my players."
He added: "Clearly I must repeat myself. Nobody is going to leave and nobody is going to come in.
"The way people talk about us you would think we are out of everything. But we are still in three competitions."
Portsmouth have made a move to take injured Milan Baros on loan, even though he is still at least three weeks away from meaningful action after breaking a leg in September.
Houllier believes back-to-form Heskey is an important part of his side's challenge for a Champions League spot.
He said: "Emile Heskey will not be going anywhere in the transfer window. The same applies to Milan Baros. Letting him go on loan is nonsense.
"Why would we do that having taken most of the season getting him fit after his broken leg?"
