KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Agent says Reds trying to cash in on Mascherano

if gerrard was too leave and go aboard i wouldnt be at all upset with him. in my opinion his done his bit for the club. can you really blame him if he wanted to leave with those two diicks in charge. his coming to the end of his career and am sure he wants to win a few more trophys before he retires.

are you sure if reina was 36yrs old he would want to stay with liverpool knowing the chance of winning anything was highly unlikely ?

i dont think agger would.

Gerrard is 31 he ain't coming to the end of his career.
He will be playing well into his mid thirties.

I think he should stay the club is for sale, new manager potential is coming in.

Could be the start of something special and if Gerrard goes and then see in two/three season winning the prem, how gutted do you think he would be.

i personlly think he can play at the top level until his 35 ( in a DM position )
i think he will be seeing it as though his coming to the end of his career. say in a few years no top team would want him. i would love to see him retire a liverpool player. it might be a few years until we get new owners and if they are rich are we going to play a 33yr old or play a guy we paid 100m for?

If he wants to go then let him, we only want players who want to play for Liverpool and to help turn our club around to where we should be sitting on top of the league. As for all the rumours going around and i include those told by the editor on here i for one will wait until i see it flashing along the bottom of my tv screen on sky sports with the headlines LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB SOLD. Then i will believe but until then all we can do is wait and hope for the best.

Gerrard had just turned 30 in the last few weeks.

I think this is a really weak argument at this moment in time although under normal circumstances I'd probably agree with you.

What you appear to be saying is that any player with any sort of ambition should leave the club.

It is an argument that will let the Americans asset strip the club of its best players whilst they wait around to get the best possible price for the club. It makes their lives far to easy.

Good players want to win things (and get paid lots of money).

The reality is that why we are owned by the Americans we are unlikely to win or even compete for any major trophy. We are a club is in decline with dysfunctional owners.

When Torres, Gerrard and Mascha have gone, next season it will be Reina, Agger and our better players once again. Its a spiral that will take years to recover even after we're taken over.

i'm not saying that any player with ambition should leave, what i said was that if Mascherano wants to go then let him because we only want players with ambition to be at the club not players with a desire to leave as they will not give their all for the team. If any player wants to leave then that is up to them we as fans can only hope that liverpool replace them with players who will fight for our club.

Yes but the money is likely to simply finish in the owners back pocket not being spent on the team.

We should be against the sale of any quality players- although in Mascha's case he is probably becoming a liability - because they are likely to be replaced with cheaper options leading to a decline in our competitiveness.

Strange though lots of people on here were saying Mascha was leaving because of Rafa but now he is talking about Rafa as a mentor and is heavily linked with Inter.

Surely your not saying that the media made up stories that he lost the dressing room..as if

I completely agree with this, he has not been the same player since Alonso left, perhaps as the pressure has been off him.
