    as if this is going to happen, firstly we paid 18m for him and therefore we’d make next to nothing in profit. secondly they’re receiving around 25m for a player half mascherano’s quality, but expect to pay less for a better player

    He is a little bit overrated yes. But 18m is still too little considering Villa wanted the same sum for Barry and Liverpool signed Aqualani who was still injured with the same amount.

    Here we go … they will do the negative chat in the hope they can get him cheap … thing is, we do not need to sell, and that has been confirmed many times, even by rafa …

    We will take 18m up front Barca and the the other 12m over 2 years … ;-)

    Its not a buyers market, its a sellers market, so let them play there silly games with the media, but we as a club will stand firm …

    Surely Liverpool’s financial situation means they are much LESS likely to sell one of their most valuable assets on the cheap…
