Martin Skrtel

[ric.williams]

I don't think Skrtel is that kind of player. He's not going to get approaches from glamour clubs and I would think he regards Liverpool as 'making it'.

ye. and i dont think he'd want to leave his tattoo buddy

[Boogs]

Standard Chartered 'player of the season". Congrats big fella

[little dave hedgehog]

Well "one" is a nouvelle vague really isn't it. Either way it might be a good thing for us. I can't see a huge club coming in for him right now, which means it's more likely he will stay

The mumps? Who did he catch that from? The 1980s? Old school illness that

[Roboklopp]

Got that at a few years back- was well nasty.

Skrtel 'wants to know' Reds aimsTuesday 15th May 2012 11:57

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel "wants to know what the club's aims and ambitions are" before penning a new deal, according to his agent.

Rumours have surfaced suggested Skrtel is considering his long-term future at Anfield after seeing them miss out on the UEFA Champions League for a third successive season.

Skrtel has been one of Liverpool's shining lights this campaign and was rewarded for his fine form by being named the club's player of the season.

The 27-year-old has two years to run on his current contract and Skrtel's representative, Karol Csonto, has admitted he will discuss Liverpool's plans as they get ready for talks on a new deal.

"You cannot say Liverpool won't play in the Champions League," Csonto told The Independent. "It is a big club and because they haven't made it this year doesn't mean they would not next.

"There are expectations on both sides, though.

"Some changes have been made at the club and the player wants to know what the aims and ambitions are.

"We want to discuss with Liverpool what they want and, of course, we will discuss the issue of Martin's new contract."

So basically he's after a big pay-rise as he's had a good season.

Or he is seriously pissed off with the way our season has gone. After Kuyt's comments too, it seems that we do not have a happy dressing room.

[Pablo]

We finished 8th, it'd be wrong if everyone was happy with that in fairness.

[Assassin]

No Liverpool dressing room should be happy with 8th place

[BootRoom]

You couldn't really blame the likes of Skrtel and Agger if they are pissed off, especially as they have both been shunted out to full-back to accommodate a far inferior player.

Looks like those rumours can be put to bed

He said: "The only thing I can say is it is not true because I have never said anything like I want to leave the club or handed in a transfer request.

"I have a contract at Liverpool and I am happy here at the club. I haven't thought about leaving the club.

"The things that were in the press are rubbish."

If only Kenny and FSG could issue such prompt statements rebuffing stuff in the press.

This would be a good use of an authenticated Twitter account.
