KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Skrtle to hand in transfer request!

plus i know personally and can guarantee you posted many many many times xabi never wanted to leave liverpool never , was forced out by benitez to the downfall of liverpool and benitez .

Yeah I've seen that. Gotta admit, I can't really put Skrtel and Alonso in the same class. Sketel has been good this season, but you notice he has only performed when he's played with Agger (who is very good imo). Durng other season, he has been worrying at best!

Like I said IF true. I put it in big bold letters for people like you. IF. And whilst goal.com is not high on my list of reputable sports websites/sources of information, it is higher than you writing something on a forum. the analogy doesn't work. But just to make it clear for you again. I said IF, not that it was true.

Yes why the hell would Xabi wanted to have leave Liverpool for real madrid...one of the few clubs bigger than Liverpool, in his home country, and has gone on to win a title.

mate i can guarantee you xabi never wanted to leave he forced out , his baby was born here , he lived next door to his best friend mikel arteta down on the docks him and his family were happy until benitez in his dictator style forced him out and i know this personally and posted the reasons many many times on here

Faz I don't know the details like you but I think you may be right something was going on there betwen Benetiz and Alonso. But of course we don't know Benitez side of the story. I do know though he won the european cup and those days are a long long way away with the current encumbent.

Is Skertel going to Chelsea as that is where all the LFC players who hand in transfer requests go? Has anyone told him they may no have CL football next year?

Heres a goal.com exclusive from last year

Liverpool are on the verge of signing French striker Loic Remy on a five-year contract for a fee of around £12.5 million [€15m], Goal.com UK understands.
The 23-year-old is expected to travel to Merseyside in the next few days to undergo a medical before joining Roy Hodgson’s squad at its training camp in Switzerland, according to sources at Remy’s club, Nice.
Remy had been tempted by offers from Tottenham and West Ham, whose directors, David Sullivan and Karen Brady flew to the south of France in an attempt to negotiate a deal, but it was Liverpool’s history that tipped the balance and a deal has agreed in principle.

“Liverpool is a legendary club,” Remy told Nice Matin today. “I am very excited by the thought of playing there. It has a magnificent stadium and a fantastic public.”

Liverpool are expected to pay Nice £7.5 million [€9m] upfront with the rest to follow in installments.

The Nice president, Gilberto Stellado, is believed to have sought reassurances about Liverpool’s financial situation before agreeing to the move. Nice paid Olympique Lyonnais a club record €8m for Remy, although after two seasons and 25 goals they have accepted they can no longer hold on to a striker who but for an ankle injury might have gone to Arsenal in the January transfer window.

Oh Wait Theres More.....


Liverpool are closing in on making James McCarthy their first summer signing after the midfielder told Wigan Athletic he has his heart set on a move to Anfield,

Kenny Dalglish is a huge admirer of the 20-year-old and the Reds are believed to be willing to spend as much as £10 million to land one of the brightest prospects in the Premier League.

Chelsea are also understood to have registered an interest in McCarthy but Goal.com understands the player has told Wigan executives he wants them to reach an agreement with Liverpool.

Wigan had initially asked for £16m for the Republic of Ireland international but there have been indications that they are now ready to soften their stance, with manager Roberto Martinez promised he can re-invest money raised from player sales.

“It is 90 per cent done, all sides now seem to accept it is going to happen and it's a matter of everyone trying to get the best deal,” a source close to the talks told Goal.com.
McCarthy, who was born in Glasgow and can play either centrally or wide, fits that billing and Reds director of football Damien Comolli agrees with Dalglish that he will be a star of the future.

“Liverpool have shown the most interest for quite a while and have convinced him that it will be the best move to fulfil his potential,” the source added. “Being a Glaswegian from a Celtic-supporting family, working with Dalglish is obviously a big factor as well.”

My thoughts exactly. Wouldn't believe this for a second. Laughable.

That's a fair amount of assumptions and conclusions to jump to on the back of a bullsh*t rumour from a joke of a website, to be fair. If goal.com were announcing that Hazard wants to join Liverpool would people be praising the manager? Doubtful. People need to stop letting their own vendettas and bias cloud their judgement and comments.
