You are absoultely potts fowleris!! nobody can replace Mascherano, he is the best defensive midfielder in the world and our best player by far. We shouldn’t be looking to sell our best players if we want the best team in the world and win champions league or league titles. we should sell the crap like Voronin, Dossena, Babbel and so on. In my opinion it’s the Americans that need to be shipped out asap cause they are selling the clubs assets and depositing the money in there accounts and I ask where has the money from Xabi’s sale gone to?

he wants to go, then let him alonso wanted out and he,s gone. thats the problem we need players who want to play for us. we need at least3 quality players, toure would be a good replacemnt, plus he scores goals. i miss alonso but mash no…

Mascherano is pound for pound the best player of his type in the world (ironically the only player I think who gets near him is Momo). If we are going to sell him I think we could and should get more than that.

i agree. crazy money for an average-in my opinion- player. liverpool needs creative wings like yossi, 2 more forwards so we could play 4-4-2 inhstead always with one striker whichever team we play, even from 3rd division teams rafa plays one striker, one xabi alonso style creative midfielder, 2 central defenders as jamie a great player but has start his football career downfall ,and a left fullback just like johnson, attcking minded. liverpool, u will never walk alone

We like to think of ourselves as the most knowledgeable fans in the world. And yet I’ve seen so many Liverpool fans, ones who arent kneejerkers and actually are quite smart, saying the same thing. Cash in on Mascherano. Its madness!!!

Any lesson we learn as fans we should remember, whenever they happen. Let alone something that happened little more than a few months ago. Everyone thought that Alonso wouldnt be as big a miss as he has been. The same goes for Mascherano. He is a world class player, no-one we bring in will be as good as him. We need to bring in more world class players, not get rid of one of the few we already have. If he really digs his heels in and forces a move, then there’s not a great deal we can do. But so far its all newspaper talk and rubbish really.

I think Rafa’s missed a trick as well in regards to Cattermole and Lorik Cana. Both would have been excellent potential ‘replacements’ for Masch abd went very cheaply to Sunderland. So I dont think its in Rafas mind that he’ll be losing Masch, and as far as I’m concerned it isnt in Maschs mind either. And since Rafa didnt see all of the Alonso money, I dont expect he’ll be too keen to lose another world class midfielder without seeing all the money himself.
