Cartoon of the Day: Liverpool Roo the day as The Old Lady's favourite son heads to Sydney
Sep 6, 2012 12:00:00 PM
Goal.com cartoonist Omar Momani gives us his unique take on the football news of the day...
Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero confirmed his move to Sydney FC on Wednesday, penning a two-year deal.
However, the 37-year-old claimed that Liverpool showed a late interest in signing him ahead of his switch to the Australia A-League outfit.
"They were one of the clubs, amongst the non-Italian sides [interested], and I was surprised to be contacted by them," he said his first Sydney FC unveiling.
But Brendan Rodgers' supposed approach was, evidently, in vain and could only watch on as The Old Lady handed her favourite son to Australian football.
