Mascherano wants to quit West Ham

[Craig_H]

Sorry, what was the point about Robinho?

[Red_Polo]

if gerrard cares more about weather he playes on the right or in the middle than he does about playing for liverpool or another club, then he free to go imo...

I think you have unrealistic expectations of people, and a simplistic attitude towards the importance of individual needs being met within a team framework

[Craig_H]

And me. If he doesn't like it, **** him I say.

That said, we’ve done this debate to death and we know who stands where on the subject.

Oh come on Shaggy mate...

Gerrard wants to play CM because it's the position he performs best in. And Gerrard at his best is good for LFC.

Under no circumstances should we allow a situation whereby he ends up leaving. He's about a million times better than ANY other player we've got.

He must never be allowed to go.

Free to go? So you'd let him walk away?

Interesting.

about how he got transfered to real, he refused to play for santos any more and threatened them a lawsuit under the employment law if they didn't let him go, and they did eventually...

Interesting.

for a conciderable sum of money ofcourse

Oh right, cheers for that.

I thought someone was saying that he'd played for more than 2 clubs in a calendar year, which would've been a useful precedent for us, in this case.

[Red Chilli]

If he's out of form and potentially out of the team we might not get a considerable bid for him.

I'm just saying, he's our best player and to not use him effectively is poor management IMO.

No money in the world could replace SG.

I really don’t wanna do this debate again.

It comes down to Sissoko/Mascherano or Pennant. If you prefer Pennant, fine. I don’t understand it for one minute, but fine.

I realise Gerrard would prefer to play in the middle. I’d prefer to work fewer hours. :shrug:

Tough **** Stevie la. Ideally, in the long-run, yes, let’s buy a proper right winger who is good enough to grace the Liver Bird. Until then, we ain’t got one and by Gerrard is the best option there by a COUNTRY MILE.

A midfield of Garcia/Sissoko or Mascherono/Alonso/Gerrard is infinitely stronger than Garcia/ Sissoko or Mascherono or Alonso/Gerrard/Pennant. No debate.

Spot on.

IMO, you do what's best for the club. Gerrard is unplayable in the centre. So play him there.

Garcia can play wide right for half a season, no problem with that. Then buy a proper RM in the summer.

South American footballers don't settle in this country.

It's OK spending 2 million on Solano or Paletta, that's minimal risk, but I wouldn't pay much more for a South American.

so you'd only spend £2m on Ronaldiho , what a load of bolloks

i agree with you to an extent, i think most of the time he should play in the middle, but against big teams he can be more of an attacking threat on the right, and if he is on form as he was last season, i see nothing wrong with mixing it up middle on the right, another thing is that i recon we will play more often with a 3 man midfield now after rafa has started playing 3-5-2...

i love him do bits, but rafa is the gaffer and i respect that cause i think he'll take us to where we belong...

So don't.
