    Mash deal finally set for completion

    Mascherano set for permanent deal

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/7226311.stm


    Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano says he expects to complete a permanent move to the Anfield club this week.

    The Argentine is registered as a Reds player on a long-term loan from Media Sports Investments (MSI), the consortium that 'owns' the player.

    The 23-year-old said: "I have a lot of confidence that, after the next week, I can say 'everything is right and I am staying here in Liverpool'.

    "We now need to wait. We are very close but we need to talk again."

    He can sign for Liverpool outside the transfer window because he does not belong to another club.

    Reports suggest that Mascherano, who played for West Ham last season, will cost Rafael Benitez's side about £18m.

    "I think everything will be OK," added Mascherano. "I've waited a long time, so I can wait one week more.

    "The fans like me and I love the fans. They are great and that's the reason I want to stay here."

The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

            On the offal too

            Javier Mascherano is hopeful a deal to keep him at Anfield will be completed this week.
            The Argentine international also claims the bond he has developed with the Kop is a major factor in his desire to stay on Merseyside.

            "It's not finished yet but I am hoping to stay here," Mascherano told Liverpoolfc.tv. "I have a lot of confidence that after the next week I will be able to say, 'Everything is right and I am staying here in Liverpool.'

            "We now need to wait. We are very close but we need to talk again next week. I think everything will be okay. I've waited a long time, so I can wait one week more.

            "The fans like me and I love the fans. They are great and that's the reason I want to stay here."

            The midfielder was speaking after the 3-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday, Liverpool's first league win of 2008.

            While the result eventually proved emphatic, the goalless first-half in which few chances were created was indicative of the Reds' post-Christmas form.

            So, were there more harsh words from the gaffer at half-time, as reportedly happened during the FA Cup win over Havant nine days ago?
            "No. We knew we would have chances in the second half, so we weren't feeling so bad at half time," said Mascherano. "We knew we could do something to win the game. It was just important we kept calm.

            "At half time we were told to keep going and work hard. We weren't playing really, really well, but it wasn't so bad either. We had to keep working together.

            "The difference was that we scored early in the second half and you could see that gave us a lot of confidence. Once you've scored, you become calmer."

            Mascherano admits he and his teammates owed that second-half performance to the fans following five league games without a win.

            He also believes it will have a big impact on the squad's state of mind going into next Sunday's trip to Stamford Bridge.

            "We owed the fans a result," he said. "We've played badly recently but now we can have confidence again. We can go into the international break happy and then we have a big game against Chelsea.

            "It's a difficult place to go, so the win over Sunderland was important because it means we can go to London with a lot of confidence. We can play with confidence again.

            "We are close to fourth spot again – just one point behind. But now we have to keep this level."

              But...but...but....if Rafa leaves there will be a mass exodus as all the players want to play for him, especially Masch - isn't that what everyone would have us believe?

                Masherano stood head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch on Saturday.
                What a super player.

                  Didn't think he was that good on Saturday.

                  Been our best player this season though.

                    I wonder if the DIC deal will go through first. Seems strange that there is such a delay.
                    Nah. He won't win the Prem. You can quote me on that. - Sarb24

                      If he leaves, we'll get good money for him.
                      Oh I don't know.

                        Better than Torres?

                        Better than Gerrard?

                        Better than Reina?

                        I have to disagree. I also think he should be able to pass the ball better for a player that costs £18M.

                        Defensively, he's the bees knees though.
                        Oh I don't know.

                          In the style of comic book guy. Best. News. Ever. (well almost!)

                          Really really pleased this is going through, its taken ages but I'm a very happy fan right now. Masch is THE essential part of our centre midfield in my opinion.

                            Consistently I meant.
