Daniel Agger

[baitman]

i have always liked agger as a player. he is LFC right through him like a stick of rock. he is essential to our defence. he organises and brings the mental toughness and awareness and that skrtel toure and sakho just dont have but unfortunately he will have to go.
he is not often fit for a long enough period and we need better stability in our defence.

[danperkins]

Agger getting fitter every game & now Sakho and Lucas back.... love it!

[Shaggy]

Great to see him punching his weight again. He can switch off and make soft mistakes but when he's good he's ****ing awesome. Suddenly him, Skrtel and Sakho look like three really good options at CB. I'm still of the opinion - only just - that we should try to buy a monstrous right-footed centre half - but if we don't those three, with the likes of Ilori, Kolo and Wisdom backing up, have us fairly well covered. Ideally though I'd like a fourth top option rather than youngsters or a veteran.

[Resu]

But are you going to get anybody else than a youngster or oldie to be fourth choice? Even if we do I would rather spend the money elsewhere. What we need is one of the youngsters to step up and really be an option at CB, like Flanno has.

[MrMichael]

As Shaggy said, great to see him performing at a high level again. My concern is whether he and Sakho can play together, as they look to me to be our best 2 players at the back, and should compliment eachother well (left footedness aside). I hope they can.

After the way he has played this season I would be happy enough to keep Skrtel as a backup, though would certainly consider any good offers for him especially if we had a good alternative lined up - long term I just think we can do better (sorry Dan).

[Fredo]

Skrtel's been great lately though. He's been flawless vs United, so I reckon Sakho will find it hard to get back into the team now.

[McDermotX]

Great problem to have all the same.

Define "lately"? How long ago was Hull? Skrtel always does this, he has patches when he looks like a monster and others when his decision making is monsterous. His recovery this season from having 1 & 3/4 feet out the door has been impressive and very much to his credit, but I still cannot quite get past the feeling that he isn't quite top quality. Or perhaps that either him and Agger or him and Sakho are not the perfect partnerships, and I rate both the left footers higher. I'd keep him as 3rd or 4th choice I think, but depending on how Agger & Sakho look together we should be able to get £10m+ for Skrtel that we might need for a better first choice, right footed CB.

I agree though that right now I wouldn't be messing with the defence after our first 2 consecutive cleen sheets in what seems like forever.

Daniel Agger @DanielAgger 6m
Got a small knock!! Will be back training in the next few days)

[RedReet]

Must be gutted he picked up that injury, might have to watch rest of the season from the bench.

I wonder if he's tempted to clatter Sakho in training to try and get his place back.

He'd end up injuring himself knowing old Agger

[The Birdman]

I'd sell him in the summer and I'll be shocked if we don't.
He's a squad player now, a very expensive one.

[McDermotX]

Gonna be needing a good sized squad all the same.......whether Agger wants to stick around for a fight with what's there, or whomever we bring in is another thing.
CL teams, a potentially league champions, are gonna be paying top dollar wage bills etc etc

[Roboklopp]

Nope, been here before - no to selling Agger.

[Mostar]

Same here.

That said I am not sure that he would be ok to be the bench option at this point in his career.

We'll have to wait and see what happens in the summer.
