Javier Mascherano has vowed to reveal the "lies" about his transfer to Barcelona in due course, hinting that Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson "knows the truth".

Javier Mascherano has completed his 'dream move'

• Mascherano completes 'dream move'

Mascherano, who also revealed the switch to Barcelona was a year overdue, was labelled "selfish" by Hodgson when he supposedly refused to play for the Reds against Manchester City last week.

"Roy Hodgson knows the truth," he said in the Guardian. "This is a happy moment for me so now is not the time to say it, but a lot of lies have been told about me and I will respond to them.

"Last year Liverpool would not let me leave. There was no way they would sell me. They had Xabi Alonso and me, and they would only let Xabi leave."

He added in the Sun: "Against Manchester City, I was not right to play. Liverpool will always be in my heart but my time there has finished."

The Argentina midfielder dismissed reports that former manager Rafa Benitez had tried to sign him for his new club Inter, confirming Barcelona was the only club who made a bid for his services.

"I was disappointed not to be able to sign last season. When the best club in the world calls you, then it is something that you want to happen. I have signed for the only club who really wanted me. In no moment did I ever think that Inter was a possibility. Rafa valued me and perhaps that is why people started saying that I could go there but this is the only club that pushed to sign me.

"When I landed I said that I was achieving a dream. At last I will be able to say that I play for Barcelona, the team who I wanted to play for."

Git.

Can't believe and it will happen that supporters of Liverpool football club will believe this load of lies , any agrement was with the last regime not the prescent and he wasnt in the right frame of mind dear me what a disgrace he is , said once and i will say it again good riddance you dirty argie mercenary snide , I see some are complaining about insua getting "whored around europe" and thats bad because its purslow and hodgson , but when it was benitez and parry its was fine to do it to one of europe's and Liverpool's best players (Xabi Alonso) , I will say it again if you chose to believe Senor Mercenary then i am correct its the fans damaging our club not purslow ,not hodgson , not benitez ,not gillett or hicks its the fans , sad sad days when players are backed over the club .

why dont you just stop having a go at other fans ffs. sick of this sh*te now. how can a select amount of fans ruin a club?. how can someone going up and asking for a jersey to be signed affect what happens within the walls of anfield?. its the biggest load of bollx ive ever heard in my life and its delusional snobbery on the part of some to think that they are "better" fans than others. just give this nonsense a rest. if someone wants to wear a jester hat and be all tourist about it, so what? you just do what you do and let them do what they do.
newsflash: everyone is different, every fan is different, thats what makes football, and clubs, great.... its ecclectic, colourful, and inclusive.

Couldn't agree more mate!

Is this a wind up?

He spoke to that bog roll paper?

Unbloodybelievable.

Certainly knows how to stick the boot in ey, bloody waster.

Not defending him but a player can often speak to a journo and not know where they are from. They can also be freelance. The Sun often tell porkies about players talking to them. He could have been talking to a group of journos or the source that did this article may assume that quotes in The Sun were direct to them.

I could be wrong. Personally I'd ignore it.

OH MY GOD DUNK, that was YOU getting your shirt signed by mascherano!!

This is exactly what I was gonna say!

lol

Your wrong some fans are different than others it's only Out of Town and foreign fans who say things that your saying. Although as people we are individual where you come from DOES give you a different identity from other. I am from Liverpool and find it very insulting that you think because I happen to support the same team as some people on here that I am the same as someone like Jeremy from Surrey, Mick from Ireland, Klaus from somewhere like Oslo or even a Park-Ji Sung from somewhere like China or Korea I am not. I support the team where i was born, brought up and have lived all my life and the very same one that my dad and grandfather did before me I am not like some of the parasites on here who only support the team because they are successful or because it's fashionable to support a Premier league team. You can complain all you want about my views but they are views shared by many who come from Liverpool, I am proud to come from the City and also from the fact that I do what football fans are supposed to do and thats support there local team one which represents where there from and who there about which is more than can be said about some on here, a person who supports there local club will always have a stronger bond with the Club than an Out Of Towner so get used to it, some of you may of picked Liverpool Football Club to support but Liverpool Football Club always picks the people of the City and thats the big difference between fans.
