So about Agger to Barca? What do you guys think? Would he fit?

I'l admit I don't really know much about him. But why would Livepool get rid of him?

Rodgers who've turned Liverpool from a mediocre placed team into a top team this season hasn't used him regularly. He's a Liverpool fan at the heart and it was a childhood dream of his when Liverpool showed interest for him. I imagine similar if Real Madrid wanted to sign you..

Anyway, he's been a solid part of the team for years, but only as a sub and having his NT spot to think about (he's captain at the NT), there has been speculation he might actually accept an offer from another, non-english, top club.

It's all speculations though. Speaking of speculations... HUG!

Oh, if he is a sub then it's more likely. You know better than me, that's for certain

I don't particularly want Agger, if he couldn't get playing time for Liverpool (considering their defense *cough* 3-3 Crystal Palace *cough*) then I don't think he'll be good enough for us. From the defenders we've been linked to recently, I hope we get Benatia, he seems the most solid and fitting to playing besides Pique.

From what I've been told, Liverpool's defense is thought to be so horrible because Rodgers only want to use very physical defenders, whereas Agger is more of a technical player who used to be a forward in his younger years, iIRC.

To be honest, I think Liverpool would have done better if they'd used him, but that's easy to say...

Well that's a load of crap to start with.

Johnson, as a defender, was useless this season. The problem with him is that he's a very attacking minded defenderso he tries to run up the field with it and he gets caught out so much and loses the ball and they have a counter attack. He tries to do TOO much with it and he usually fails. That's one area which we need to get a backup for. Would not mind Kelly to replace him and we can free up some of our wages.

Sakho is a good player but he's young and he was the one who gave that shocking pass to Gerrard against Chelsea. Many blamed Gerrard but it was Sakho's fault entirely for trying such a ridiculous pass. I'd much rather have Agger in the side and if you are to say that Agger isn't a physical defender then you are kidding yourself. He's miles better than Sakho. Agger and Skrtel are a lethal combination in defence and we should have had them starting against Chelsea.

I've heard all Rodgers said this and that. Fact is, he bought Sakho at the start of the year. It would have been real stupid to have bought him for about 11 or 12 million and not have played him. If you want technically gifted and a good presence then you will pick Agger every day and that is one of many reasons why we didn't win the League, the other main one being the ridiculous 3 match ban for Henderson for a challenge which was worth 1 at the most.

Why? Cole has been rubbish for a while. He won't be a big loss for them.

They will still have to replace him, right?

idk, I feel that Chelsea will make several movements in the market this summer.

Replace him for who? He was hardly ever being played and if he was he was subbed out as he made no impact. He hasn't been the same player as he once was. Chelsea have no troubles with depth so if he goes they'd still be fine.

He was a key player in the last years, wasn't he?

Luis Suarez had a knee surgery btw, he might not be in full shape for the WC.

U.S's top scorer, pretty much universally considered their best player of all time, I believe he had the most international caps of anyone heading into this tournament (I think it was 156 to Casillas's 153), so yeah. Pretty ballsy decision.
