KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Benayoun says £6m Chelsea move is likely

The Liverpool captain will have a decision to make in the summer about whether he commits to another season with his boyhood club or seek a fresh challenge.

He, however, was angered by reports last Friday which suggested he had practically made his decision to quit Anfield because he is “fed up” with Rafa Benitez.

That is not the case and it is understood Gerrard contacted Benitez when he was in Spain last week to rubbish the story.

It is clear, though, that Gerrard – who has three years left on his contract – will have food for thought about what to do when the World Cup is over.

thats it swede, beggers belief doesnt it. I have never seen such an example of "the emperors new clothes" in all my life.
there is a point blank refusal on some peoples part to point the finger at a manager who is playing a dreadful style of football, finished 7th and is losing players by the month, all because he does a bit in the local community.
i dont understand it. this whole "better the devil you know" approach to who should manage the club has to stop as well. Keeping him because there is noone else out there? is that a joke? There is a great big world of talent out there. Managers young and old, with ambition, drive and talent who can lead a team of anyone's and no-ones.

Im tired of looking at a team who have to keep one eye on the game, and the other eye on the little spanish guy doing the macarena on the side line. Tired of being sh*t. i dont mind if we dont win the league, as long as we try and we have heart and spirit. we dont even have that. people criticise maureen for playing negative even though he gets results. we play negative and DONT get results. the worst of both worlds.

time for a new manager.

I totally agree that we need a new manager. I can't see how Rafa can stay and make things better. But when a player comes out and says he will be with another club soon (if he said it) he should be fecked off. There is a way of doing things and that isn't it.

he has probably been given a clear indicator to the point that he could come out and say it. he was also probably treated like sh*t and told in a text or something so he's thinking "why should i bother my hole respecting them, when they have no respect for me".
neither of us has the inside track on this, but i think for a player who has given his all and kept his mouth shut for his entire time here, to be benched far too much because of kuyt and then shoved out the door, i can understand his discontent and i think its yet another sign of what a mess raffa is making of morale at the club.

Thats true. He has been a propper pro up to now. It just annoys me a bit when I see things like that.

thats true u can never judge the commitment of this player..a top pro...he was badly treated by Shaffa..

u know better who to get rid of when every other one is falling out with him

Well lets hope the next one to say something like that is Rafa. Then I wouldn't be annoyed!

sorry Flames but that's the 849238492 time which he threatens to leave... You're right that he's a good, creative player but to be honest i prefer a team of Kuyts not a team of complaining girls... After a disappointing season like the last one you must be dying with impatience for next one to start so you can show the world what really Liverpool FC is... not whining about everything... I think Carra was absolutely f right ... if he doesn't wanna stay ... then f him ... 6m is better than unmotivated player who does not want to stay and help the club he loves when needed...

ok. well i hope youre ready to f*ck everyone out, cause thats the way this is heading, then you will get your wish. a team of kuyts. and lucas.

my point is that some people dont want to acknowledge the cause of all this unrest, rather pass it off as an unexplained upsurge in spoilt professionals. funny then that there are plenty of "spoilt professionals" at chelsea, arsenal, united and city and yet there isnt a mass exodus out of those clubs.

nothing to do with our manager of course.

it's a shame that a player who claims to be a liverpool fan won't just put up with it to pull on that shirt - i know i wouldn't go running to the press whining no matter what if i was playing for liverpool ..... but i do understand him being upset with rafa, i fully understand that, but there are better ways to do things than to whine in the press
