My view on it is that while ultimately a top player can decide to leave his club regardless of his contract (remember Dwight Yorke's move from Villa to Man UTD?), Liverpool could put their foot down as a matter of principle and refuse to sanction a transfer. Obviously that would sour the relationship between player and club, but it would send out a strong message that Liverpool mean business and won't be bullied by their top players.
