Quite right Del, but no one here has made an overt assertion that Skrtel's a better footballer than Agger. None of my posts go higher than pointing out the absurdity in contending he's only worth 7 or 8 million while Agger who in my opinion, is equally important to us, is worth 20.
Absolutely.
Although I would suggest that if they're of similar ability, then Skrtel is without doubt the bigger asset, since he has averaged nearly 32.8 games a season for Liverpool, while Agger has averaged just 23.6 games a season.

It's always a slippery slope Khl when the best partner in crime you can find is Modo.
I don't know why you don't get people's frustration with you over this subject.
It's easily summed up. If Skrtel were the Dane and Agger the Slovak, you'd be taking the opposite stance. It's a stupid, pointless arguement. They're both good players and there's fuck all to choose between them, so debating whether one is worth £20m because you feel sore that it somehow undermines the quality and worth of your fellow countryman, is well, pretty daft. You're a good lad and a fine poster but your bias over Danish players is ridiculous.
Yea that maybe true but why didn't his agent just say man city or real madrid made a bid that would surely strike more fear into utd than us it pains me to say.

Ha, in other words......
Dangerous argument, considering that Agger went MIA for both Inzaghi's goals in Athens.
The goal he's talking about aswell came after Drogba tore him a new one in the first leg, a player Skrtel had in his pocket most of the times he came up against him. Also rather pathetic that he chose scoring against Cardiff as the bar to measure Skrtel's goal scoring ability with.
Anyway, call me old fashioned but I thought the quality of defenders was measured by how good a defender they are.
Modo has to be one of the most cretinous idiots on here, with an understanding of the game that you could write on the back of a postage stamp.
What the FUCK has Skrtel's Cardiff goal or Agger's Chelsea goal got to do with ANYTHING?
Christ, he's getting on a bit now, he's better than that shower of shite though.
I imagine that, when one's as far off the deep end about something as Modo is about this, even such side issues seem relevant.
Indeed. He tried tremendously hard not to leave Merseyside to begin with though, so maybe it has something to do with returning North-West.
Awesome thanks.
I think our only hope of getting Rodriguez is that Man U have committed to other targets and hadn't intended to move for him this summer, which might allow us to sneak in ahead of them.
Reports in Dutch media say that we have lodged a € 28m bid which is a good bit higher that I thought he would go for.
Still potentially a world class player though.

I have nothing but admiration for Rodgers for even trying to sign him it's the sort of bold move that proves your worth IMO, would be a major coup for us if he does sign, think he's the sort of player that fits modos sig to haha. Rodriguez, Gylfi, Borini, Kalou and Hoilett on frees and that would make for a brilliant summer just need to sell a few players to balance the wages and what not and we'd be good to go! Oh yea the money signings if they happen are all under 23 to.
Would you not come back under your previous moniker mate, now that the cunt that drove you out has been outed or have you not seen that thread in General Chat?
Sorry don't quite get this i'm a little confused haha.
Liverpool and Everton are fighting over Inter Milan’s teenage striker Luc Castaignos.
The Italian giants are prepared to offload the young Dutchman, who has struggled since joining them from Feyenoord last summer.
While the Serie A side want to sell the 19-year-old, they would also consider a season-long loan move, which has alerted new Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers and his Goodison counterpart David Moyes.
Castaignos, once dubbed the new Thierry Henry, has encouraged both managers by claiming he wants to leave Italy if he cannot play for Inter.
Newcastle and West Ham are also tracking the Holland Under-19s hitman, who said: “In Italy, I only want to play for Inter, but this is not looking possible now.
“The club wants to loan me to an Italian team, but it is a move I would not be interested in.
“We have thus decided that I will be sold.
"I regret not having been able to show my qualities and I am sad. But football is like that and the club and I have made this decision together.”

Ha ha... Interesting you only feel the need to point that out in Modo's post when it was i_rushie that used those stats to say they are equal. You could add that they are almost the same age too = hence worth the same.
Kind of sums up why you just don't go down that road and say one is better than Skrtel on here. You shall feel the blinkered wrath of the 6CMs faithfuls.
It's the same posters every time that pops up and have a go at me and Modo and others whom not of the same opinion as you guys.
Kind of ruining the meaning with a forum, eh?
I do not wish for us to sell Skrtel but if he is having his head turned by man city and we can get a good fee for him , 20M is not unreasonable for a player of his qualities, then im fine to see him sold. I think Coates is going to be a helluva player and may well fit in perfect harmony with our suggested new style. As for him being worth more or less than Agger they are different types of player and i greatly admire both.

For the record, I've said all along I don't want us to sell Skrtel. If he wants to leave then fair enough and lets hope for the highest value possible.
I'd b very surprised if anyone where to pay more than around £10M for him for several good reason. Perhaps I'll be proved wrong and then I don't doubt you all be banging at my door to tell me so, and then fair does.
If Citeh indeed are to offer us £20M for Skrtel we should sell ASAP. He's not an irreplaceable in the squad.
How much I value Agger is of little interest to this subject however as I brought it up myself to counter-argue the sell-Skrtel-for-£30-comments, I have made my own bed. I believe Agger would attract a higher fee than Skrtel. How much I don't know but as I believe it's clubs like Barca, Citeh, Real and Milan would be interested in him £20M is possible. I don't think the same clubs would want Skrtel for that kind of money.
That's just my opinion, and it could be well flawed. Perhaps he is seen as a cornerstone in Mancini's Citeh, perhaps he'll sell for £20M then good for us, but please, why all the anger? It's my opinion. Not yours. It's mine.
All this 'lets all be of the same opinion' bollocks is doing my head in. Accept that not everyone sees Skrtel and Agger as of equal quality, instead of turn to insults, and grouping up like a pack of wolves. Ruins this otherwise great side, for me at least.

I'm new to this discussion about Agger and Skrtel but everyone who's posted about this you do realise your arguing over 2 EXTREMELY good centre halves here picking minor differences between them is pointless they're a partnership and a damn good 1 at that! For arguments sake i'd value them both at 25mil each but that doesn't mean we should sell them if we recieve that offer, as far as i'm concerned Citeh or whoever else can fuck off and find some other team to buy from!
It's not really the point at all Kris, you post the same guff about Agger and seem eager to point out time and time again that you think Agger is the better player, which under normal circumstances is fair enough. You seem to take offense though when people take you up on it and point out that either there's not much between them or that maybe even Skrtel is the better defender, it makes no odds to me, they're both great and if I've staunchly defended Skrtel in the past, it's only out of sheer frustration about how you feel the need to play down his abilities as a means to big up your native country man - no need. There isn't much between them, so I don't see the reason to A) take offense to someone pointing out such, B) Feel the need to practically laugh at the notion that he's worth £20m, C) Big up Agger AGAIN when we all know the agenda by now.
If Bentner was Russian or English or whatever he wouldn't get a sideways glance as far as your footballing opinions go. I happen to think he's a reasonable centre forward but there's only one reason you've jumped to his defense on here over the last few seasons and it's not because he's a reasonable centre forward.
The only one bringing the meaning of the forum into dispute is yourself with a constant need to big up anything Danish and then taking offense to other peoples opinions to the contrary regarding Agger/Bendtner/Laudrup/whoever. No one really gives a fuck about disputing how good they are, it's the transparency of your opinion that sets the ball rolling.
Kind of ruining the meaning of a forum eh?
Says the one who thinks an Ipswich flop is our saviour. Adam had a great season in top flight football at Blackpool. He's also second in our list of creative players last season, in terms of goals he was involved in. He might have had a car crash of a season in many respects, but he still was second only to Suarez for his creativity.
I never said he would 'improve us' greatly, I said he would be a good addition to the squad. He wasn't the only underperformer last season, the squad and team underperformed as a whole. It's fairly laughable anyway if that's all you've got in your locker.
And regards the I_Rushie point, I don't give a fuck who posted if first, I was taking on your point about Agger scoring in a CL semi final having any bearing over who is the better defender - Clue, it doesn't. Hapless.
