It seems, according to many journalists anyway, that if Javier Mascherano does move to Barcelona that Roy Hodgson will then be like a kid in a candy shop, spending the cash on a number of new Anfield arrivals, however the reality may be that the Merseyside club’s owners may take the lions share of the transfer to cover interest on debts the club has accrued since Tom Hicks and George Gillett arrived at the club.
Of the three players named perhaps Dickson Etuhu is the most likely to actually come to fruition as he would clearly be a like for like replacement for Mascherano, albeit the Fulham man is in an entirely different league to the Argentine captain.
Carlton Cole has continuously linked with a move away from Upton Park without any deal seeming to take form. West Ham are not going to sell the former Chelsea man on the cheap and the likes of Stoke City and Sunderland have distanced themselves from such a move due to the valuation placed on the England international forward.
Hatem Ben Arfa is a long shot but he is at least almost certain to leave Marseille who are unhappy with the manner in which the French international playmaker has conducted himself over a prospective move to Newcastle United that never took shape.
