Has Allardyce The Pulling Power To Get Heinz?

Man Utd are determined to prevent the Argentine full-back joining their bitter rivals, but under new FIFA legislation, Heinze can buy out the last two years of his United contract, leaving the Red Devils powerless to prevent him moving to Anfield.
And according to The People, Liverpool are ready to test that ruling.
Heinze is currently in Venezuela preparing for the Copa America final and has already said Liverpool's offer interests him. Sir Alex Ferguson will not stand in his way if he wants to leave, but NOT to Liverpool.
Ferguson would rather see him move abroad, and the question of a move to Liverpool is unthinkable. He would become the first player to make the move from Old Trafford to Anfield in over 40 years.
Sam Allardyce has already tested the water, and he knows Heinz would be a huge success at St James' Park. But has he the pulling power to get his man?
Kevin Keegan or Alan Shearer could pull it off, perhaps. Allardyce? Who knows?
