It would be a major problem if we don't get the money back to spend on other players CHL. And these holding midfield players are far cheaper because their not world class - it's just more dilution of the top quality players we have at present.

LFC is right. Players want to be playing for top clubs, at the top level so all our quality players are considering their options at the minute. We can't just keep saying 'Well if they don't want to stay, we don't wan them'. The Americans would love that. We need to keep them and get some stability back into the club - new manager, new owners and the re-evaluate.

Javier Mascherano's agent has revealed they are in talks with Inter Milan over a possible move to the Nerazzurri, which would see the Liverpool midfielder reunited with former boss Rafael Benitez.

Speculation has been rife that Argentina captain Mascherano would move to the San Siro since Benitez was confirmed as Jose Mourinho's replacement last week.

Mascherano, who was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona last summer, has spent the past three years at Anfield but contract negotiations have currently been put on hold and one of his agents, Marco Piccioli, claims the 25-year-old could very well follow in his former manager's footsteps.

"There has already been a first contact with director Marco Branca," Piccioli told www.Itasportpress.it.

"We are evaluating the move hard and in the next few days we will have a new meeting to better establish the details of this transfer deal."

Mascherano, who has two years left on his current deal at Liverpool, revealed earlier this week he was learning Italian.

And the midfielder admitted at the beginning of the month he would relish the opportunity to link up with Benitez again.

"Would I follow Benitez? I don't know," he said with a shrug.

"At the moment I really know little about my future.

"But of course with Benitez at Liverpool I experienced three incredible years. His football is my football."

See ya Javier...

I say sell him, hes unhappy, wont put in 100% effort and will disrupt the squad if he stays, do it sooner rather than later instead of having it played out over the summer and not giving us time to get a replacement!

Purslows time to shine here, he better play hard ball and demand about £35m for masch, captain of his country and relatively young, we better not get screwed on this fee! My gut feeling says it will be an undisclosed fee and we wont ever know, but it better be good and it better be fast!

Get Javi Martinez, spanish midfielder gonna be an awesome player!!!

Masch is awesome dont get me wrong but holding midfielder is an easier position than say creative midfielder so will be plenty of options out there, sure even gareth barry can do it well
:cool:

Has he gone yet?

Sorry but he has behaved like a child. He threw the rattle out of the pram last season when we needed him at his best and by the time he decided to pull his dummy out of his :censored:

we were in 7th. But I suppose you can't blame him alone, everyone was :censored:

. Thanks for the good times but adios amigo. Hope you win fk all with Inter.

Well ladies and gentleman we better get used to players wanting to leave LFC. Because we arn,nt one of the BIG 4 anymore.FACT. Sad but true

Chance for Lucas to shine now maybe, midfield general! :eyebrow

the less destroyers on the books the better for me.take the money and let Mash go to Milan if he wants, 2 years left and he prob wont sign another deal or even be offered one, fair enough for both parties and we will get good money for him.

by **tubby** » Thu Jun 17, 2010 9:56 pm

Thing is that's not even his position so he won't ever shine there. His position is going forward, playing further up the pitch.

Let's hope there's a bidding war between Barca & Inter

His value will have halved by this time next year if he doesn't sign a new deal, so sign up or sayonara.

If he does go it means we need another midfielder, and not necessarily a like-for-like replacement either, though someone with above average defensive awareness would be preferable. Alonso, for example, wasn't a midfield destroyer and he played well enough alongside Gerrard so there's at least one other way we can go with this - assuming Gerrard remains. No more foreigners, though, they've caused us enough trouble.

Yup. Had the owners given rafa the money to sign Barry instead of keane we would already have cover.

Said it before ill be gutted if he goes ,i love Javier love his passion ,i love his crunching no messing about tackling, and his work rate, and as i said when he is in that shirt he looks lkie he gives a sh.it compated to some , ok he wants to go .but another sad day for the club imo to lose a player of his ability,

See yeh our little chief,

by **Madmax** » Thu Jun 17, 2010 11:59 pm

another star to probably go.. First alonso and now macha... Torres will be next i assume

by **maypaxvobiscum** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 7:15 am

so we'll probably have to find someone to replace him IF he leaves, though it does not have to be a like-for-like replacement. assuming we are poor, any of these guys could do the job for us?

Papa Bouba Diop (Portsmouth)
Walter Gargano (Napoli)
Fabian Delph (Leeds Utd)
Piotr Trochowski (Hamburg)
Joe Ledley (Cardiff) [contract expired]
Neven Subotic (Dortmund)
Martin Petrov (Man City) [contract expired]
Gago (Real Madrid)
Scott Parker (West Ham)
Kim Kallstrom (Lyon)
Lee Cattermole (Sunderland)
Diego Perez (Monaco)
Tom Cairney (Hull City)

personally i would want someone with fire and a little of a never-say-die attitude would do well as his determination would spur his team-mates on, someone in the mold of Roy Keane, Robbie Savage or Craig Bellamy.
