Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has insisted that clubs be allowed to carry out their business in private, after details of an exploratory phone call to Manchester City, regarding a potential swap of strikers Andy Carroll and Carlos Tevez, were leaked over the weekend. "If you are going to do business in any way, shape or form, you don't disclose it until it's done," the Scot, who is believed to retain an interest in a loan move for Tevez (above), said.
"We're not going to get involved in justifying what people are saying. Get them to justify it, not us." City's determination to get rid of Argentine striker Tevez before tonight's transfer deadline has intensified after the forward last night lodged an appeal against disciplinary measures inflicted upon him by the club. Resultant procedures dealing with the appeal would be likely to last at least two months, which City are keen to avoid disrupting their title bid.
