Mascherano says will only play for Liverpool

[thekop]

I think JM is enjoying his time at LFC.
He obviously also believes that he 'owes' us for rescuing him from West Ham and then giving him the opportunity to show just how good he is. He could never have dreamed of playing in the Champs League Final, and must be more than happy to have team mates like Gerrard, Alonso and Torres

I agree totaly mate

H e is not a bad midfielder, but not worth masturbating over like some. Not a penny more than 17m

[rage]

momo and carsons sale will cover masch easy. i'm hoping the deal is done in january.

also money from riises sale and if crouch is going that'll be an easy 15 million to go towards a winger and centre back. a january net spend of approx 15 million can buy us quaresmo, kompany and tie up masch. now that would be a nearly complete title winning team.

Well, he's probably the best holding midfielder in world football so I guess you're right...he's not a bad midfielder.

If we want to win the title we have to buy the best. To buy the best you have to pay big money. We have world class players like Reina, Carragher, Agger, Gerrard and Alonso. Mascherano is in that mold and is the sort of player who would walk into any midfield in world football.

I think 17 million is a very fair price in today's transfer market but I'd pay more to secure his services. He's 23 yrs old, he could conceivably be a red for 10 years.....players like him do not come available very often.

[carlton]

if Essien is worth 25 million and Hargreaves 18, Mascherano is defo worth 17 crikey! Also I think we should all thank Hayden Mullins for keeping Masher out of the team at West Ham.

I'd sign him in a heartbeat.

If we dont sign him, its either Rafa is an idiot or the chairmen are tight fisted and not what they say they are.

Well Rafa has already publicly said that he wants to sign him, it's down to the owners for me. And I've been highly suspicious of them since they started waffling about cash being available and waving dollars in front of the cameras.

Masher.........Alonso
..........Stevie.........

It's like sacrificing a kebab (you don't know what you're going to get, could be tasty but could be rank) for a fillet steak. A sacrifice worth making.

quality anecdote

...mmmm steak

What's the deal with Joorabchian now? Will a permanent deal for Mascherano spell the end of his payday?
