Is Benayoun Liverpool-bound? Probably not

It's a deadline day so un-amazing that we're following the Yossi Benayoun loan rumours as though our very lives depend on it. We're getting some conflicting stuff on the Israeli midfielder, who's already confirmed that he's expecting to head out on loan -- the latest gossip has Liverpool snooping in hopes of returning him to Anfield to be injured add some thoughtful, tactical play to their lineup.

And now the Daily Mail's Liverpool specialist has shot it all down:

For all asking about @yossibenayoun15 returning to @lfc, that's not the case. Only one player @lfc want & you all know who that is by now.

So, we're back with Southampton as Benayoun's most likely destination, while Liverpool seem to be focusing all of their energy on Daniel Sturridge. Just where that one's going I couldn't possibly say, but if Sturridge leaves some other moves are going to have to follow.
