Masch in stunning City put-down
Star midfielder Javier Mascherano has vowed never to leave Liverpool for Manchester City because the big-spending Blues “can't buy history." The Argentina captain has long been linked with a move away from Anfield, with Barcelona and City mooted as likely destinations. But on Friday his put down of City was his strongest hint yet that he is happy to stay on Merseyside. "Manchester City have bought some very good players and they have a very good team, but I will say one thing: you can buy players, but you cannot buy history," said the tough-as-teak player. "You can buy stars, you can spend a lot of money to be in the top four - more money than us - but you cannot buy what we have at Anfield.” Liverpool and City clash on Sunday in a match that could go a long in deciding who finishes fourth in the EPL.
