KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Masch is not world class.....Good luck to him!!

The man should never kick a ball for the club after saying he wants to leave, I dont care if he put in a good performance on Sunday or he's the best player in the world he should never play in front of a person who wants to play for the Club. It's these types of things which for me stop me loving my club I once knew like before, I know the game has changed alot over the years but for me there still should be still some principles left in tact, How would Shanks and Sir Bob have dealt with a waster like this Argentine.

Whilst I want him to go, he has made it clear he holds nothing against the club and stated he would never sign for another English team.

I thought he done well on Sunday - he could easily have hid and not get stuck in, but he was his usual combatitive self.

What I have issue with is players like Babel moaning to the press (or the world via Twitter) that they are unhappy. At least Masch spoke to Roy and told him on the level.

When I read what RH said - it's not so obvious...He still has 2 years left on his contract, he could go for free in 2012 - it's still two years of him playing for us - during this two years (even this season after takeover) things can change and he could sign new contract. I think he will play for us at least till 2012

i think this article is on the money.: SSN.

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson insists the club will not sell unsettled midfielder Javier Mascherano on the cheap.

Mascherano has informed Hodgson he would like to quit Anfield for personal reasons with Inter Milan and Barcelona both keen on his signature.

However, Hodgson is adamant he wants to keep the Argentine ace and would be happy to allow him see out the final two years of his contract at Anfield if they do not receive a suitable bid for Mascherano.

No offer
"We haven't had an offer for him. We want an offer that meets what we think is his value, and Javier is perfectly happy with this," said Hodgson.

"He doesn't expect the club to just let him walk out of here. He hopes that a club comes in where he could be reunited with his family, which is the major problem for him, that offers us what he is worth and we accept that.

"But he has also made it clear that he doesn't regard it as a hardship to play for Liverpool Football Club. In fact, it's the reverse. It's because of family matters that he wants to go.

"He is resigned to one of two possibilities - either a club doesn't come along and offer us his valuation, in which case he stays, or we have an offer that meets his valuation, in which case he may go."
