Doesn't seem difficult to read between the lines of that.

Could still have done a job here .

Can't see him worse than Lovren anytime

I never got why Rodgers didn't rate Agger.

Daniel Agger: Differences with Brendan Rodgers led to Liverpool departure

Daniel Agger has admitted that differences of opinion between him and Brendan Rodgers led to his exit from Liverpool after eight years at the club.

Agger, who rejoined Brondby in August for £3m, suggested that Rodgers did not appreciate his contribution last season and believes his direct approach impacted on his relationship with the manager.

“Let me put it this way: me and the manager were perhaps not on the same page for all of last season. For most of last season at least,” Agger told the Danish TV programme Onside.

“There was some distance between us and for me that was enough. I didn’t feel that he appreciated the things I contributed. And when I feel that, then it is time to move on.”

“Maybe where it went wrong between me and him is that I am very direct. I say things as they are, and also expect that people are [that way towards] to me. Maybe it’s wrong to expect that.”

Agger, however, added that Rodgers is an “incredibly talented man” and an “extremely competent coach”.

Or Sakho.

No one cares about the cock measuring contest between Agger and Rodgers, why do they ask stupid questions like that, the question they SHOULD have asked was:  "What sort of things does the defence practice in training?"

That's what I want to know.  He's gone so he should tell us.  Are they coached, are they left to their own devices, etc.  Does Rodgers really mean it when he says defence can't be coached etc.

I don't know if Rodgers meant it, but I agree with that statement.

Defending principles can be taught, but the innate understanding of the game (and this typically applies to just about any sport) along with the mindset to know what to do in reaction or preaction isn't something that can be hammered into a player. Some players just "get it" and some don't in my opinion.

Liverpool have kept 22 clean sheets in 58 league games under Rodgers. Daniel Agger had started in 20 of them.And some people say he was over rated

Wow, didn't know that :O

I don't think anyone thought he was over rated mate, just very injury prone.  He's only played twice this season for Brondby so he wouldn't have been much help to us had he stayed.

From his wikki page mate which says was updated on 14th October 2014.  Thought it was weird that he wasn't playing

Yeah, looking at the dates it looks like he has played every (or almost every?) game since he started playing for them. 

Massive loss, both as a personality in the dressing room and the utter waste of money for a player we didn't need.

Shocking summer dealing.

Testify.

Ideally would have loved to seen him partner with Lovren.

Rodgers had other ideas though shipped him out like a pile of dirt too.

There was more to it than we know mate for sure.. It wasn't and surely couldn't ever do be down to pure talent and ability

Definitely not Jon.

Possible personality clash between him and the boss as well perhaps.

Yea mate certainly looks that way.

Daniel always struck me as a "call a spade a spade" fellow and Brendan must not have liked it much.

And some people say he was over rated

Not many people on here though.

I have seen a few people here who most of the times under rated him and wrote him massively over rated by the fans(Don't remember which ones,but I certainly did)Its surprised to see even outside this forum some DUMB people say he was just too slow etc etc.I mean the guy literally stayed here during Hodgson reign when he would've easily gone to other club.Just because of his loyalty he will always be a favorite player and CLASS Act.I don't recall him making many mistakes in the games like our usual regular defenders or the so called 'leader' are doing at the moment.This piece of transfer will never be understood by me.

Agreed.

A true legend Dagger, loyalty like that can't be bought and he sets himself apart from many that have gone before because of that. Should still be starting for us now, Sakho brought in to replace him and now Lovren, neither are an upgrade in quality and you'd struggle to ever upgrade on personality for me.

Sorely missed in my book.
