Skrtel to Zenit

Surprised as had hoped we get all the players out the club by now, rather the a trickle effect for rest of the summer, excluding luis.
 
Will there be anyone left soon !?!

What about Lucas you fat fanny mouthed bugger!
 
His agent, Karol Csonto's comment last week: "Napoli? I think they haven't the financial possibilities to take him. Liverpool has not decided a price because they don't intend to sell the player. Anyway, I don't think that Napoli can afford his wage." Slightly surprising given that they can afford those of Higuain, Callejon and Albiol.

Luciano Spalletti was quoted today as saying he's looking to sign 2 defenders. I would presume Zenit St. Petersburg have the financial power to make a bid and enticing offer if they want to. Anything less than an 8 digit figure would be disappointing.
 
Sell him and Coates for £12-15m, throw in a few £m more and sign Papadopoulos, and have Wisdom as 4th choice. Just get it sorted lol.
 
Ha, I knew it. Hamsik and Skrtel are good friends so I think it could happen.
 
It's a lot of change at the heart of the defence. Skittles Pepe, Carra all gone (and no, it's not their fault we finished 7th).
 
hmmmm - i have a sneaky suspicion that Wisdom is in Rodgers' plans for many appearances in the middle ...

(I hope my English was ok)

I watched the game vs Melbourne Victory in full last night, and I must say the person who stood out at the back was Wisdom.... his timing and ability to take the ball then pass out of defence was very composed.... he's definitely ready for a regular 1st team run.

While I agree with the general thrust of your argument - I really wouldn't be reading too much in to "Norman's" showing against Victory.

I think he's better than Coates, though.
 
Wages. Didn't a move (to Napoli) collapse because of that in January?
We want(ed) to sell and Skrtel wants to move but not prepared to earn less.

Yeah, it was weird in a way, as he never looked comfortable with the ball when playing fullback. Maybe he simply feels a lot more comfortable in the middle. Or he might get a little more nervous with PL level players pressing him instead of the Aussie league..
 
I rate Wisdom very highly, and have no problem with us getting money for Skrtl, but we need to get a top CB as the number one priority for this summer. Wisdom should be 4th choice and get cup games.
 
Personally I think we should just pay the money for Papadopoulos, £18m or whatever it was they wanted. If we've decided he's the one to go for, I don't think quibbling over even £5/6m is worth it. Er, this is on the understanding that we've done our homework on him and his injury etc. I mean, in principle, we should just pay the money.

That could be exactly why Skrtel's being sold.
 
I hope it isn't a loan deal? It would be pointless. If Rogers isn't keen, get Rafa to give us a decent wedge similar to Albiol and allow him leave.

Skrtel's stock has fallen dramatically over the season. City we're sniffing around and many of us including me we're demanding 20million for him. Now i'd happily take 8-10 million. So what happened? Did his form dip? Did Rogers bomb him out of the side?

.... And then he watched a 35 year old starting in front of him game after game after game. Now we've signed Toure and soon we may sign Papa.

Pay cut or play?
 
People on some shitty football websites seem to be suggesting Skrtel is on his way
