Good, Gerrard's staying then.

Oh and Di Rossi is a lovely footballer.
 
Would De Rossi leave? Roma came second last season and pushed Inter all the way.

With that beard, Di Rossi looks like a madman who's been living alone in the North Pole for a year.

To Madrid, at the moment, I'd say so.

Him alongside Xabi Alonso in the middle, with Ronaldo, Kaka, Higuan, Benzema et all.

It will be pretty mouth-watering if and when they click.

I mean Aquilani left Roma to join us and we're a much less attractive proposition!
 
Javier Mascherano's agent claims he is in talks with Internazionale

Javier Mascherano's agent has stated he is in talks with Internazionale over a possible move which would see the Liverpool midfielder reunited with his former manager, Rafael Benítez.

Mascherano, who was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona last summer, has spent the past three years at Anfield but contract negotiations have been put on hold and one of his agents, Marco Piccioli, claims the 25-year-old may very well follow in the former manager's footsteps.

"There has already been a first contact with director Marco Branca," Piccioli told www.Itasportpress.it. "We are evaluating the move hard and in the next few days we will have a new meeting to better establish the details of this transfer deal."

Mascherano, who has two years left on his deal at Liverpool, revealed this week he is learning Italian. And the Argentina captain at World Cup 2010 admitted this month he would relish the opportunity to link up with the Spaniard again.

"Would I follow Benítez? I don't know," he said with a shrug. "At the moment I really know little about my future. But of course with Benítez at Liverpool I experienced three incredible years. His football is my football."
 
Here's always been a whiny cunt, and despite him being our best player last year, I won't be in tears to see him go.
 
I'll be pretty gutted to see him leave personally. Hopefully this will be the first and last of our better players to jump ship this summer.
 
Despite his "angling for a move" he's pretty much always given his all, every game.

Pepe Reina broke off from the Spanish inquisition into their improbable defeat to Switzerland to express his concerns that Liverpool could regress even further if Rafael Benítez's departure as manager is followed by either Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard leaving Anfield.

While Reina has committed himself to the club, signing a six-year contract in April, the goalkeeper is acutely aware that when he begins next season at Liverpool there are no guarantees Gerrard or Torres will be there. The two most important players at Anfield are both giving serious consideration to their future because of the problems afflicting the club, most notably the ownership of Tom Hicks and George Gillett and the lack of transfer funds to improve a squad that may need major restoration work if they are to improve significantly next season.

Liverpool finished seventh last season, 23 points behind the champions, Chelsea. With no manager in line to replace Benítez and no sense that a takeover is close, Reina's fear is that Torres and Gerrard may also sever their ties with the club.

"Of course there is concern about Fernando and Stevie," he said. "Not just them, but others, too. Any team would count on Stevie and Fernando as big names and, for us, it's the same. Without them, it would be really tough to be up there at the top next season."

Those concerns have been compounded by the news that Yossi Benayoun, one of Liverpool's more creative players, is on the verge of moving to Chelsea while Javier Mascherano could conceivably link up again with Benítez at Internazionale.

Torres has been prominently linked with Chelsea and Manchester City, both of whom have resurrected their interest since Benítez left Anfield, whereas Gerrard is reputedly among José Mourinho's targets at Real Madrid and has resisted the opportunity to distance himself from all the talk of a possible move, saying he will not talk about his future until after the World Cup.

Torres has spoken of Liverpool needing to be powerful movers in the transfer market this summer and Reina believes it is crucial that the club's ownership issues are settled quickly. "Fingers crossed, once we sort out the situation with the manager and the owners, which we hope is soon, hopefully we can focus on building a squad for the future," he said. "We are all on the same boat and we want to redecorate the ship. We want to be a lot stronger, more consistent and create and build a proper squad to be contenders for the title once again."

Reina, like Torres, had a strong working relationship with Benítez, but Iker Casillas's understudy as Spain's goalkeeper said he had come to terms with recent events. "I've had time to think about it and I guess it's one of those things. Football is football, it happens, and I always say the same thing – Liverpool will remain forever; which is the most important thing."

If Torres leaves he can fucking do one and would be nothing more than a mercenary cheeky cunt. Out injured half the season on a massive wage. He owes us another season at least.
 
Reina keeps finding time to talk to the press. He does tell it like it us though but I wish he would stop worrying us.
 
The more people who 'tell it like it is' the better, given the way our club is run at the moment.

I can't put into words how much I appreciate Pepe Reina. He's a fucking god send.
 
If you read the Mascher article, the quotes are from 'one of his agents'. I think that there is the problem: too many middlemen trying to make money off players' backs.

I've grown to love Mascherano over the last two seasons and don't want him to leave. But if we had to sell one of the big three, I do think he'd be the simplest to replace.
 
Well, I presume that Machers Mrs speaks Italian then, as feeling islolated not being able to learn the language was the main reason for him feeling unsettled.

He's a great player, will be sorely missed but has been angling for a move for ages now. Fucking big whining tart.

My sentiments too. I vote for the Sheik as president of the "Masher is a fucking big whining tart" club.

I never fully believed that, Vlad. My money's on her having disliked life over here from the beginning and that being just a polite way of avoiding saying so. It could have been a factor but I could never see it as such a decisive one.
 
Fabio Capello will resign if his England side fail to qualify for the knockout stages of the World Cup. One of Fulham's Roy Hodgson or Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp would be his likely replacement.
Full story: Sunday Mirror

Sven-Goran Eriksson could be on his way to Craven Cottage should Hodgson leave Fulham for Liverpool.Full story: Sunday Mirror

Or Mark Hughes, Eriksson's successor at Manchester City, will replace Hodgson at Fulham.
Full story: News of the World

Liverpool's new manager could be named this week but whoever is in the hot seat will have to convince Kop legend Kenny Dalglish - who did not get the job - to stay with the club.Full story: Mail on Sunday

but nothing of Pellegrini .. why?

There was a bit in the NOTW by Chris Bascome that said that Pelligrini had been interviewed but was not very impressive.
Not sure how in the know Chris is these days but there you go, that what he said. I can dig up the article if you like
