they paid 7 for kompany didn'y they?
Funniest part of that whole article was "City have been priced out of a move for...."!!! How do you price City out of a move - they make Madrid look a little short of cash?
I could be missing it Sunny isn't it Agger who's saying "he's happy at Liverpool because he's been here six years" etc? I actually think last season was the best of Daniels life as well but I haven't seen any suggestsion he's trying to get out.
No you're right it is Agger. That'll teach me to skim read.
Brendan Rodgers has come in to replace Kenny Dalglish as boss since the end of last season and Skrtel is keen to find out how he intends to take the club forward.
Agent Karol Cstonto is quoted as saying: "Some changes have been made at the club and he wants to know what the aims and ambitions are. And of course, we will discuss the issue of Martin's new contract.
"Liverpool is a big club and just because they haven't made the Champions League this year doesn't mean they would not do it next year.
"There are expectations on both sides, though."

Not sure if he's the answer after a few not so good Seasons but Simon Kjær is available at around £7M-£8M I reckon and is still both young and quite experienced already.
And he certainly will cope with the physical side of the Prem.
13m plus Kjær to partner Agger would be a fucking great pick me up.
But id rather stick than twist.

Kjær has been quoted on several occasions saying that Agger is someone he admire and looks up to both on and off the pitch.
Probably would work that partnership.
Whether he's developed to be strong enough on the ball is questionable though. He's still only 23-years-old mind so still room for improvement evidently.
Sell one half of our best centerback partnership to have blossomed in years for an undervalued 10 million, despite years of persevering with both through their individual flaws. Then bring in a centerback who has consistently underwhelmed across two top European leagues, in the hope he matches up to his predecessor who won the club's player of the season award, for 7 million? Utterly incomprehensible.

£10M is another story of course, I think we're talking about the rumoured £20M. I know I am.
Anyways with Kjaer being 5 years younger than Skrtel and potentially as good if not better over time I don't think it's that incomprehensible if we actually got an additional £12M to spend elsewhere.
If Skrtel has his head turned by a big money offer we can end up in a position where we'll have to let the market decide his prize mind and then it won't get into the £20M bracket at all.
But what do you suggest if he's indeed set to leave? That we keep him against his will and let him go on a free in two Seasons time?
No you valued him at 10 million. Your words.
You unabashed patriotism would be amusing if you didn't try to pretend to be an objective judge of players, with no regard for a player's nationality. As it is, advocating the sale of Skrtel (who only had one good season being crowned player of the year - when was the last time Agger had ONE GOOD AND COMPLETE season? Strange you don't advocate selling him), and replacing him with some vague hopeful who's underwhelmed twice in quick succession at a difference of 3 million.. That makes a whole lot of sense.

Oh no you Di'ent!!!
IF he's off, I'd like Coates to be given a go. Why else would we have bought him? Plays well for the South American champions, good on the ball, incredibly tall, getting to the right age as well.
That 20m could be spent nicely for a proper winger or playmaker.
I was a big critic of Skrtel but last season he did really well. Would much prefer he stayed but if he wants to go and we can get an inflated fee for him, I'd be happy to see the money spent on more pressing matters.
Kelly could be given a go too, and of course we still have Carra.
We look clueless in attack.
Priorities!!

I don't value Skrtel at £10M. More like £7-8M. You missed my point completely, or perhaps I wasn't making sense.
Either way stating that Agger had has one good Season with us should be enough for a mod to ban you.
For the record I've not been advocating selling Skrtel but posters on here seems to think he's off. Major sums are being quoted and if we indeed get £20M for Skrtel - which I'm certain we won't - we should spend the money on an up and coming defender for half of that sum, play Coates alongside Agger, and spend the rest on attacking-minded players.
That would be very sound business for us imo.
If you don't agree then fair enough you still should chill a bit though. Don't be so angry.
Actually, you're mistaken. I wasn't stating that Agger has had ONE good season with us. In fact, he hasn't, because ONE means that he would have had completed at least 38 games in a full league season. And he hasn't. In fact, taking into account the cups, the last time he completed more than 38 games a season would be way back in 2006-2007, his first full season on our books. So plenty of good half seasons, plus plenty of half seasons sat on his arse in the treatment room.
7 or 8 million... Apologies, I didn't realize I was arguing with a madman. You'd accept it of course, but I'd take it with a huge pinch of salt, coming from a madman, so don't bother.
I'd like to see Coates given a chance too. He's young but showed he's ready to play at a high level with his involvement and performances in the Copa America. I also agree the extra money could be better spent on our attacking targets.

I wouldn't be looking to sell Skrtel. I believe he's worth around the £7-8M mark and as such we'd struggle to replace him and as he's just had a good Season I'd hope he'd stay on, build on that instead of wanting to leave the first minute he's been good for a prolonged period of time.
He's looking to leave though, it's not someething I've made up, you are aware of that right? If we'd get £20M for we'd be in good shape to replace him as well as spend the rest of the money elsewhere.
I'm not going to argue Agger with you. He's our £20M defender mind.
*leaves thread looking like a madman*
Haha, yes, that was positively horrifying. Though to be fair, it must be said the leaps made Skrtel in his game last season were pretty spectacular.
Kjaer is shit.

Yeah yeah.. but I'm not falling on my arse over Skrtel. I don't think he'll fetch a fee anywhere near £20M and last Season around the same time his quoted prize was meant to be around £6M.
One good Season and it has increased of course but he's not getting any younger either. Perhaps he's worth £10M. I don't know.
I believe Agger is worth more than that though but who cares anyways he has expressed his wish to stay. And I love Agger so I am biased.
I wouldn't sell him for £300M.

One swallow...
D-Mish, seriously, would you not bite anyones arm off if they offered us £20M for Skrtel?
Be honest.
I'm sure Sunny's source is legit, so that means we've received an offer of 20 million for Skrtel, and er, no offers for Agger. It's no stretch of the imagination to infer that Skrtel's really worth 20 million, but khl would have you believe otherwise.

Sunny said Citeh had turned Skrtel's head but it was the article that referred to a £20M offer. Don't think Sunny knows the details of any pending deals, or am I wrong?
Anyways if that figure is true then it's a good bit of business. For Liverpool. And probably Skrtel too.
Yup. He looks like he's playing the wrong sport. Like he should be on a tennis court or cross country skiing or something.
