Hasn't Daniel Agger been here since 06 "fighting for his place"? Didn't he compete for those early years for a place with Sami and Carra? Hasn't he shown a level of commitment over the last 4 years that many haven't?
Simply we don't know what's been said behind closed doors do we? The manager may have told him that isn't wanted anymore.. Maybe Danny has looked at his age that he doesn't want to be 3rd or 4th choice, as we all think he is in the managers eyes.. I personally don't blame him for that, it's ok saying he should stay and fight but he may be being told that he won't get that chance beyond a lot of injuries to Sakho and Lovren, two players the manager has spent nearly 40 million quid on in the last 12 months in his position.
Maybe some simply need to be thanked for everything they have done and wished the best.
Martin Kelly recently did the same, he looked at 4 or 5 cbs in front of him and 2 or 3 right backs and did the best for himself, good luck to the lad. Same with Danny, I rate the bloke highly but the manager doesn't seemingly, so thanks Danny for the last 8 years and your loyalty and good luck.
As far as Agger goes, I'm pretty sure I've read the same thing every summer for the last 3 or 4 years.
Every summer he's supposed to be leaving, and the quote about "more playing time" comes out.
I've no idea if it's a different quote every year, or the same one getting dredged up time after time.
A couple of years ago every paper reported he was leaving, then he got YNWA tattoo'd on his knuckles (the F***ing chav) and signed a new, improved contract.
We'll have to wait and see I suppose.
As for Assaidi, he's only ever going to get a game in the whateverthefucktheycalli
tthisyear cup.
It would be better for the lad, assuming he wants to play every week, to move on.
