    Xabi Or Masher?...You decide.

    Just for fun....

    There is talk today in some untrustworthy rag that Xabi MIGHT be sold in order to raise the funds to keep Masher.

    I (along with most) rate both of these players enormously & would love to keep them.

    However, if we had to sacrifice one in order to keep the other....who would it be?

    Poll to come - give us a minute.

    I just can't bring myself to answer that one. The pain is too great.

    I don't consider this fun.

    I want motivational speeches today, not boring mindless bollocks.


    No point in putting these two up against each other imo.

        ...I'd be selling one of our other central mids....

        And when I say 'play Gerrard on the left', I mean on the left

        A defensive mid for £18m?

          I love Xabi - hence the username, obviously - but as things stand I'd keep Mascherano. I think he suits us better.

          Xabi is a wonderful footballer but I feel he's gone backwards in the last couple of years. We're not getting the best out of him and you can see him getting frustrated. I don't know why this is - is Benitez stifling him? Has he been worked out by other teams?

          Dunno. I love him though...a Rolls Royce of a footballer at his best, but it's not working out at present and IF I HAD TO, it'd be Xabi I'd be sacrificing.

          Although of course I want us to keep both.

            Mascha for me, Lucas can have the Xabi role.

              I reluctantly voted to keep Masher.

              Hopefully next season both will still be wearing Liverpool Red.

                Much much better.

                Now we are in love again.

                  The balance of Mascher and SG seems to be far better than SG with Xabi IMO. Mascher is a monster of a player and will get so much beter still. I will be devastated to lose either though, but if I had to choose it would Mascher.

                    Masch for me, and we would get good cash for Xabi meaning we may be abke to solve another problem role too!! Defo Masch.

                      There isn't an option for keeping both and selling Gerrard?!

                      Seriously though?

                        I rate Mascher exttremely highly, but if I had to choose one or the other I'd keep Xabi, purely from an attacking sense more than anything else. Although he can't match Mascher in terms of tackling, winning the ball, the space he covers, breaking the opposition's play etc he is much more of a goal threat, good from the dead ball, much more accurate passer, better range of passing, can dictate the tempo and can be an outlet for our defence. Considering his all round play and what he offers the team etc, I think he can potentially have a greater influence on a match than Mascher. Obviously though, we need to keep both.

                          interesting, Rafa was happy to sell him to the Chavs because he felt he couldn't fit Gerrard in to the style of play of the team he was building.

                          If you sell Gerrard we would have no goals from midfield, but selling Gerrard could mean the signing of a proper worl class playmaker.

                          Interesting conundrum this.

                            Not that I want us to sell SG, that option should also be up there when we are discussion hypothetical issues.

                              Rafa seems to love Alonso so would be surprised to see him sold unless he asked to go, we have seen how much we have missed him this season and cant wait for him to regain fitness. Mascher is also a great player so would be to hard to pick for me.
