Javier Mascherano

[Rosco]

These comments have been reported more hysterically in a few other places as Mascherano refusing to sign a contract, which isn't really how it looks. But the last couple of lines aren't too promising.

There are fears at Anfield that Javier Mascherano is on the verge of quitting Liverpool after the Argentina captain admitted he has no interest in a new contract.

Barcelona are desperate to sign Mascherano, below, after watching his former Anfield team-mate Xabi Alonso thrive at Real Madrid and the little South American did nothing to play down speculation yesterday.

Koppites have viewed talk of Mascherano's contract wranglings as an attempt by the player to up his wages - at £60,000 a week his salary is way short of the cash pocketed by Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard.

But Mascherano, who has struggled to recapture his best form this term, said: "I've heard that I've been asking for a new contract but that's not true.

"I have not been asking for a new contract and I have never asked for a new contract. I don't play for the money. I play to win things."

That last sentence will disturb boss Rafa Benitez as Liverpool will be out of the title race if they lose to Manchester United today and their Champions League hopes have been hit by two defeats in three fixtures.

If he is motivated by medals then Barca look a more attractive proposition.

The Argentinian would like to go in January but his contract expires in 2012 and it seems unlikely Benitez will sanction that unless he can find a suitable replacement.

Mascherano said: "I've talked with Rafa but nothing happens so I have to play for Liverpool. I have to give my best for them. I am here for now and I don't want to talk any more about Barcelona."

And then Purslow does his upmost to say he's staying..

Then again, Purslow also said that we spent our regular net spend of around £20m on transfers this Summer, "no more or less than what we normally spend", which was blatantly a load of old bollocks.

it seems he (purslow) like many fans ignore money brought in and only qoute money spent because obviously money generated from sales is irrelavent.

And yesterday I mentioned Alan Irwin's comments on Irish radio about whispers that Mash is not getting on with some of his teammates.

And then there was the summer long Barcelona story.

It doesn't look good right now.

fuck him, we should have sold him not Xabi

Masher is so overated and needs to deliver more this season he is protecting nobody on the pitch.

Never been a big fan

Yeah but we did so we shouldn't. Fuck him that is. The fact that other huge clubs like the reigning European champs covet Mascherano should speak volumes. Overrated my arse.

 

[rage]

if a player like masch doesn't want to play for us then i question our ambition not his.

imagine having to play next to lucshit week in week out and then get blamed for not doing enough whilst that excuse of a footballer gets off.

You're an extremely tedious cunt.

I can see you fucking cheering United on today just so you're got more to add to your agenda against Rafa.

Either change the record or fuck off.

you fuck off! u go and cheer utd if u want. it'll make u a first class prick

questions need to be asked as to why one of the best players in his position in the world, a position that is crucial to the way we play, wants to leave.

if and when we lose masch we may as well start again, our formation will have to change after losing masch and alonso in quick succession and the rebuilding will be premature.

why do players like alonso and now masch want to leave? is it just a coincidence that this seems to happen after rafa's man management in public?

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'm not questioning the points you're making. Some of them are actually decent.

I'm questioning the fact every single thing you say is always anti-rafa. Never even remotely consider another viewpoint.

It's tiresome at best & it's ruining thread after thread.

 

[Buddha]

And Masher definitely wants to leave does he?

 

[manwithnoname]

If you've managed to upset FFF to the point of swearing, you might want to consider your options rage

 

[rage]

my option remain the same. point out every flaw that rafa has so that people on here are forced to see the truth for what it is. rafa will not win us the premiership and is losing not just the best of fans but more importantly the dressing room.

a player like masch should not be saying these things in public never mind feeling like this. but then what do you expect when rafa man manages in public?

You'd win more people over by expressing your opinions in more fair manner, not every single thing Rafa does is bad, not everything he does good.

Life isnt black & white.

Jon was bang on, you're a tedious bellend. Calling Rafa a 'fat cunt' just about showed you up for what you are. So Masher wants to leave, apparently due to family problems and the fact he'd like to play for Barca. I must have missed the bit where that becomes Rafa's fault, the same guy who rescued his fucking career two years ago.

Cunt.

the emperor's dear boy.

it's what rafa's managed to convince too many of already.

masch wanting to leave for family reasons is just as much speculation as he wanting to leave because he caught rafa with his pants round his ankles with lucas on his knees.

and come on mark rafa is putting on the pounds, probably why he bought doseena.

How many of rage's posts involve some kind of homosexual fantasy scene?

i can't think of any other reason why lucas plays can u?

 

[manwithnoname]

I don't think Benitez picks Lucas because they are having a gay affair, no

I almost wish that was the case, because the truth is that he thinks Lucas is a good player, which is very worrying indeed, as everyone else with a fucking clue knows he's a useless cunt
