chelsea have made a bid lain.

Yeh! its on local news but ive never heard a real explanation as to why we want to get rid?

Rumour is it might have something to do with some kind of contractual agreement he had with hodgson and the prevision owners/regime about if he had a good year he would get a better contract because hes supposedly only on 20-30 a week and was promised more at the beginning of this year based on his form, but now hasn't been offered that, and so we are in the situation we are in... apparently...

Well thats stupid then cos ok his age may be against him but hes proven not only in our team but in the prem just what hes worth,they will be cutting off their nose to spite their face if they off load him to save money,anyway whoever comes in will be on that and more anyhow! it doesnt add up this really.

Don't know about you folks, but I feel rather insulted by Chelsea's bid of 8m + Yossi for Raul Meireles.
Chelsea can throw 27 on juan mata, 20m on lukaku, 9m on a reserve gk and only 8m for Raul?
Mind you, the current manager sold Raul to us at 11.5m 1 season ago.
This is pure rubbish

It's a non-starter for me as Benayoun wouldn't want to come back to Liverpool - he hated his time at the club, hated living in Liverpool and disliked the fans

He was a good player during his time here (underrated) but since he hates everything about Liverpool why the f*** would we even discuss the idea of bring this piece of sh*t bacvk to the club

Let him rot at Chelsea with his mate Torres

I'm more insulted by the fact that Daglish would contemplate selling a player who had a goiod furst seasoin in the Premiership, and who is clearly better than some of those who are starting ahead of him

And selling to Chelsea - a team we hope to be competing with this season

Where have these 'revelations' come from??

According to a source, after leaving Liverpool he gave an interview - not sure who with - and was asked why he left Liverpool given that the person he had his so-called problem with - Rafa - had left the club

I doubt very much that it would be made up but I've never heard a footballer (save Carlos Tevez) speak so badly about a club they used to play for - and I've hated him ever since

Jim, these are the only quotes I read from him after leaving Liverpool:

I don't know where you heard these other quotes, but i'd like to see them, if you have them?
