Poll Martin Skrtel - Would you sell him?

[Athens]

High. Because the other one was called Kyrgiakos. G for giant as he's 4 inches taller than Kyriakos Papadopolopugus.

Good point. I should have noticed that! Although I remember Kyrgiakos had his name spelled incorrectly on the back of his shirt once so I'm not the only one who made a mistake with his name.

 

[King Binny]

Yes.

1. Doesn't seem to fit into Rodger's plan
2. Can currently fetch a decent transfer fee, which can in turn be used on the new signing
3. Turning 29 this yr and would need a long term replacement anyway

I know Rodgers has said he's in his plans, but I struggle to believe that really. He's out of favour and probably too valuable to just leave on the bench, apart from the question of whether he'd accept that anyway. It looks almost certain that we'll sign Toure. Ilori has been linked so often that I tend to think that will also go through. He's too inexperienced, however, to partner Agger consistently - that's where Papadopoulos comes in. So to me it looks more likely than not that we'll sign 3 centre halves this summer. Skrtel, at 28/29, and worth £10m+, would then surely be sacrificed...

I voted 'No' - but on the basis that the bids would be around £7-8M. It's unlikely, but if bids came in of over 10M then I would sell.

I rate Skrtel higher than most on here and last year everything seem to click with him and he was a wonderful CB. He was more aggressive, dominant in the air. The mistakes were minimised significantly and he was a real goal threat from corners. I would give him one more year to try and regain that form. If not then we should sell him.
