Daniel Agger

[Muddled]

But BR has the final say. Yes or no. If he wants Agger to stay he will stay, and we know he is happy to.

If Agger says he wants out, I'm guessing Rodgers won't stand in his way. And neither should he. You don't know whether Agger definitely wants to stay, it's just lip service and cliches we hear all the time. Really, it depends how it gets played out in the media to see who receives the backlash from a section of fans.

Hhmm, so when Brendan said he'll fight to keep hold of Skrtel, he was wrong to say that, and should have really said something along the lines of: "Well, if Skrtel wants to leave he is free to" ?

I expect there will be a slight difference to what Rodgers says to the press and what he says to the players. Just because Rodgers has not rushed out to say he 'doesn't want Agger to leave' doesn't mean he's doing everything - or nothing - to keep him. Or do you want us to respond to every whisper or tweet about an LFC player?

Is that a "yes" or a "no"?

[Muddled]

Is that a "yes" or a "no"?

I don't see how it's a relevant question.

So Rodgers came out and said that he'd do everything to keep Srktel. Cool.

Did he do it within a three hour window, or was it in response to a question asked of him? Should Rodgers have stopped his pre-match preperations, sauntered out to a reporter and told them "yeah, about Agger's agents recent chat ... I'm doing everything to keep him" and then gone back to the task at hand? Yes or no?

We are probably selling him so we have enough money to pay bellamy and aquilani off!

I'm not asking about how you think Brendan should reply to the Agger speculation. My question was in relation to your point about Brendan not standing in Agger's way if he (Agger) wants out, letting him just walk out the door. Saying that he'll fight for a player (Skrtel) doesn't seem to me like he'll just stand by and let the player walk out the door, and I was asking, given your point of view, whether Brendan should have said something to the effect that that Skrtel is free to go if he wants.

Again, I think what Rodgers will say in the media will differ to what he says in the players; if a new manager comes in and says that Skrtel and Agger are off, he's not gonna endear himself to the fans.

Again, if Skrtel goes to Rodgers and says I want out, he's not gonna let on to the media, hence his 'fight to keep him' comment. Therefore not standing in his way, which is ok with me.

Again, if Agger goes to Rodgers and says I want out, he's not gonna let on to the media, hence why we might read something in the media soon. Therefore not standing in his way, which is ok with me.

I don't know how I can make this any clearer?

Ok, I think I now understand; when you say there is a "slight difference" between what Brendan tells the media vs. what he tells the player.....

.....you actually mean the media and player are told the complete opposite. Okies.

I'm glad we cleared that up. Did you have a point?

I wasn't making a point, I was asking a question.

Was the question.

To answer it, Rodgers wasn't wrong to say it, neither would he be wrong if said to Skrtel's face that he is free to leave.

I hope this clears it up, because this is drying my eyes out.

Agger out of squad means he is talking to either barca or citeh. Simples.

[little dave hedgehog]

The plan was always for Daniel to stay behind. Everyone knows his history of injuries, he came back to pre-season, after everyone else and is still not up to speed.

Does it?

"The plan was always for Daniel to stay behind. Everyone knows his history of injuries, he came back to pre-season after everyone else and is still not up to speed," he said.

"He is fit, but I have to make sure he is up to speed before he plays, because everyone knows his history with injuries."
