First thing is why would he want to leave, we are a club that is rebuilding and has now been under the owners and kenny's wing for many months.
Be interesting to know if this rumour is true, then his reasons for wanting to leave. If it is home sickness then fair enough can't argue with that.
But i think he is a great addition to the squad and hope he stays.

Agree with what you say TGN, but it should've been discussed internally, not in the press. Furthermore, it shoul've been done after the end of the season - not a few days before the last game of the season which we wnated to win and finish on a high with.
If after discussing the matter internally the matter is still not resolved to a player's satisfaction then the player can submit a transfer request and maybe go public at that point.
In this case I'm sure the budget holders wouldn't have been that harsh and would've got the nod from The King based on his excellent performances, thus resolving the matter in a positive manner. However, by going to the press (which seems to have been the case) he or his agent will only cause trouble for Kenny.
Earlier this week we had Suarez being quoted as saying that we're title contenders and Stevie G coming out on the same day saying we're aiming for top 4 only. I think they should all keep quiet (including Comoli - who's he to judge Kenny?!!) and just let The King do all the talking.

I don’t mean to come across as perhaps so aggressive but i really believed that this summer we had a real opportunity to start building a squad capable of challenging for the top 4 spot at least
And yet – in something that was barely imaginable 2 weeks ago it now seems certain that we are going to start next season with a weaker squad than that we finished last season with
We all claim to be lifelong Liverpool fans yet i seem one of the only ones concerned about the astoundingly average players we’re being linked with and the straggering fees involved – which seem destined to cement our position as the laughing stocks of the Premiership
'Wakka, your not far off I reckon. Jim Tonez has 127 posts since he joined at the end of April.'
Funnily enough i used to post on the pay site as Junir G and I had very similar discussions with posters two years ago - once i heard Alonso wanted out
I was called every name under the sun yet the season started and we went from being 2nd in the league to 7th
I didn't want to say 'I told you so' but i did and I reckon if all these rumpoirs have a grain a truth it will be a repeat situation this season

fs jimbo relax its not even july yet
if we are selling players then they must have better in mind kenny did say that he wont bring players that arnt better than wat we already have, raul is a good player but not a great player i like him but with a fully fit team he dosent play anyway so i think kenny has told him hes a squad player and he wants to play so i think he will ask to leave anyway gerrard and lucus are better no doubt and hes useless on the flanks.
IMO i think he would be a squad player at best next year but a good one at that

Raul is one of our unsung heroes last season. He came out week in and week out to perform his task quietly but effectively. Yes he was kind of not so good in the first half of the season but when he hit form , especially under King Kenny in the second half , he is sort of difficult to keep track of on the pitch. Who would imagine he would come from nowhere to stab the ball into goal. Hope that he does not leave as we need this kind of player either as a first teamer or even as a squad player...

Would be very disapointed if he does truly leave because he is one of those players that can aid Suarez cause havoc as he is an excellent runner on and off the ball and also can bag a few important goals(winner against chelsea).
I understand Jim's concern and selling both Meireles and Aqua and replacing them with Adam would be a big risk. Lets hope he stays.

No way can we sell Raul!!!
He's a quality player, and for those saying he's average, don't forget how often he's been played out of position. For a central mid, he's quality, and the only reason I can see us getting rid of him is:
a)Letting the younger players like Spearing and Henderson jump in the deep end.
b)Aqualani is going to come back and take his role
c)We get Adams (would much rather have Raul).
d)We buy a real quality mid (Not Gago!).
He loves playing for the club. The fans seem to like him, and when played in Central mid, is very good at finding space and keeping the ball moving. Would be sad to see him go.

Really? He and Lucas has worked their arses off for the team in the middle of the park in the absence of stevie for the whole season. Meireles has been a great asset to have especially when he plays behind the strikers as he links up with Suarez effectively and they seem to compliment each other very well. He is an excellent runner off and on the ball and that was very helpful tricking defenders and causing havoc whenever Suarez and others were on the ball. You do know we brought him for 14m right? I bet you didn't so we will be making a loss on a player that has shined when we should be putting a price tag of 15 to 20m on him considering how every player is for 20m these days. He's a big asset and if you are saying big deal then your very wrong.
