TRIBAL FOOTBALL:
Liverpool bid for Real Madrid's Van der Vaart likely non-starter

Liverpool are preparing a bid for Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.
The Times says Liverpool are ready to make an offer for Van der Vaart.
However, given that the Holland playmaker would cost about £10 million and Benítez has nearly exhausted his budget, there is little chance of a deal.
