Javier Mascherano (Barcelona/Inter Milan)

Might as well Masch sent some naked pics to Barcelona. Like seriously, why did he say all that? Maybe he should have mentioned climate change and Spain being hotter.

I cant see Masch going if Fabregas goes.

Toure to go to Arsenal then plus some cash for Cesc.

Why would they want Masch in there too??

Because he is the best defensive midfielder in the world!And his role is totally different than Fabreg as.Cesc is offensive player who can play behind striker,on the left,or on the right in attack.I can't believe we are loosing Javier after we lost Xabi last year,our most important players in the midfield

Now Aquilani will have to play

I really wouldn't be suprised if he left - out of all the media talk of our big players leaving, masch going to barca is definately the most likely. He was literally this [] close to following what xabi did and out-right say he wants to leave last summer, and i'm suprised we kept him then. I never like to see a quality player go but footballers are not slaves and you can't keep them at a club they don't want to be at. I say if he really wants to go and says so in public, then sell him, get £30 million and get a £30 million replacement. Knowing our situation we'd be lucky to get a quarter of the money however, and would struggle to get a 1/3 rate replacement.

If we did get ALL the money - i'd want two quality defensive midfielders - banega, parker, veloso, toure - any of them will do rafa 

I think he has played his last game for us, has clearly had his head turned by Barca.

Whilst it would be a big shame to see him go I'd happily see an offer of around £25-30mill + Bojan get accepted. Not like Rafa would get the money to spend on a replacement anyway so we may as well try and get an up and coming star as part of the deal.

It's clear he doesn't want to stay here.

He should be sold and replaced before the World Cup.

Didn't realise Barcelona was a densely argentinian populated city?!

But everyone speaks spanish there

If he wants to go then let him, bring in Banega/Martinez and Turan to make up for his loss, two players for the price of one, I could live with that if the player wants away.

I wouldn't have agreed with this a couple of weeks ago but i'm starting to realise that we could benefit from selling him even though he is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. Sell him for around £35m  .. Sell Babel if we can get a little over £10m for him and then bring in Banega, Turan and a top quality striker with the rest.

I just don't want to see it turn into another Alonso drama like last season if the lad wants to go, get shot at the earliest opportunity and bring in his replacements before the world cup inflates their fee's.

As much as we love the little chief. . He is not really a fashionable signing. Its more likely that Villa and Fabregas will join Barca. For both footballing and marketing reasons

But everyone speaks spanish there

They speak Catalan, which is Spanish but a small sub-dialogue of it. Kind of like Scouse and English, so I guess he would adapt pretty quickly 

I would miss the Chief greatly, as there is no one better at what he does, but would also gladly welcome new additions that would improve the squad as a whole.

Cant see this happening if Barca spending 40mill on Villa and probably going to be about 40 to 45 mill for Fabregas
They wont have the funds for Masc

Fingers crossed he stays

I think he needs to look at this objectively, if it is wife that can't settle then she can do one, stupid bint should be grateful to be living in our area. Well, that's just my opinion

You're talking about the team who gave their top scorer in Samuel Eto'o, plus £45m, for Ibranoseavic.

I obviously wouldnt like to lose Masch cause defensively he is one of the very best around. But if he wants to go, then I have to agree with those who said sell him and get a replacement as soon as possible - also, as I remember saying in a discussion last season about which player we would miss the most in case they left (Xabi or Masch), I think Masch is a lot easier to replace. Dont get me wrong, I think he is a fantastic player, but there were times I thought he was a bit over estimated here. He should offer more offensively, and actually I think he can, but simply doesnt try enough. I would love him to stay though, but his heart has to be in it.

Transfer list the wife, use the funds to bring in Messi (now he can't complain about there being not enough Argentinians) - with the proceeds from the Riera sale, use to loan in a babysitter for children who is also Argentinian.  Everyone wins.

Swap for Messi and you're on.

Nah in all seriousness, I have no idea how good Yaya Toure is so I'm not sure about a swap. Then again we won't see any cash so.

F**k off with the Yaya Toure's.

He's F***ing pants. He can't even get in the side ahead of Busquets who can't even tackle anyway.

Masch = 25m + Bojan or Pedro.

Meh, just spend 5 million to bring Masch's wife's ladies and their families to live in Liverpool. Save us alot

Don't know how he thinks Barc are going to be able to afford him with there forecasted signings. He either wants to leave the club or doesn't but it is a F***ing joke if he thinks he can pick the club, the whole F***ing world wants to play for Barc.

Madrid it is then........straight swap for VDV and Higuain...if you please

never mind, at least we'll have Lucas
