Rumours, lies and cyberspace

The dodgier websites, in a bid to attract much-needed traffic, have created the kind of stories that would not look out of place in the Sunday Sport.

Here are just a few. We'll let you decide how true they are, and will withhold the site names to protect the innocent (or guilty).

1. Heskey facing Anfield axe

2. Liverpool plan to trump Arsenal by offering Diomede for Evra

3. Liverpool struggle to land Lamouchi, have Kaladze offer rebuffed

4. Liverpool, Inter watch as Eck admits Rangers may struggle to keep Lovenkrands
