Agree with this big time!

As much as Skrtel has come on I have never been truly convinced of his class.

About two seasons ago I would say that most fans could easily have driven him out of Anfield if it meant getting our money back on the original 7m outlay by RB.

FAir play to him, he has really improved the last two seasons but I can't help but feel that this is more down to the fact he has had Agger alongside him rather than the dwindling Carragher,

Agger has had his best run of games played for us in the last 18 months and I think this goes a long way into making Skrtel look a top defender instead of the reality of a good defender.

At times last season, when Agger was inevitably injured for small periods and JC came back into the side, Skrtel's performance dipped quite alarmingly at times.

I just feel the partnbership they have struck up is awesome and that in itself maybe a reason not to sell.

If he has to go then we need to really wring them for all we can. Maybe up the price to 24m or a cheeky swap for Tevez if he can behave himself! Citeh are gonna drive through the RVP deal eventually according to all reports and they can't keep all of those strikers (Adebayor, Tevez, Roque Santz Cruz, Balotelli, Dzeko). Some have to be shifted/leave!

Either way, probably like the rest of you, happy if he stays or happy to take a massive fee if it means we re-invest it into a big signing.

Reckon M. Kelly is ready to step into that role anyway and make it his own with competition from Seb Coates. We have cover and the cash injection is needed it seems.

In some ways, as much as I love Agger it might be worth considering letting him go and keeping Skrtel. He always seems liable to go down. I really fear that he can go down anytime.

If he could really drop those injuries he would undoubtedly be rated as one of the best in the world.

15m and johnson would be great

i think 20 million plus then we can talk

we know how much money they have so lets lighten them of some of it

I wouldn't start talking until they reach 22mil. If they're willing to pay that much for Lescott, then that's the least they should be paying for Skrtel. I would personally try and get 15mil plus Johnson, done deal!

He's no better than what they've got already. Who is he supposed to be a replacement for? Skrtel can be very good and also very poor. He could be very easily replaced I think, for much less than half of whatever we get for him. Make the deal happen Brendan!

Picking splinters out of his backside with a bit of luck.

i say make them pay every penny they can we know they got the money

be nice if we make a club pay over the odds for a change

Interesting that most here appear to think they see more than Mancini does. Not a criticism just an observation.

The lad has improved and had a real good season. Why is it not inconceivable that he will continue to perform at this level from here on? Reading many posts, it's as if it was some sort of fluke.

If we took say 20 million, you have to then be convinced Rogers is going to be able to replace him with a player for less money who is as good. That is anyone's guess and seeing that teams spiral down the league with [oops] defences, and we don't know how the new boss is going to fair in the market in anyway, I'd rather keep him.
