Liverpool could sell Daniel Agger, says Brendan Rodgers
Brendan Rodgers has conceded Liverpool may be forced to sell Daniel Agger should Manchester City match their valuation of the player.
The Liverpool manager admitted Agger, 27, was not certain to stay at Anfield for the coming season despite his desire to keep the Denmark defender.
"Every player has a price," Rodgers said. "But no manager wants to lose his best players."
He added that Craig Bellamy is likely to join Cardiff City later this week.
City's football administrator Brian Marwood has made two inquiries about Agger this summer.
City have indicated they would be willing to bid about £18m for the Denmark international, but Liverpool are holding out for a fee in excess of the £22m City paid Everton for Joleon Lescott in 2009.
It is understood Adam Johnson could yet be offered on loan as a makeweight in a potential deal. Agger has entered the final two years of his contract and talks on a new deal have stalled.
"Top centre-halves are at a premium," Rodgers, speaking before Thursday's Europa League qualifier against FC Gomel, said. "Take Thiago Silva, he left AC Milan to go to Paris St Germain for £40m. So it has to be a big valuation.
"Daniel is one of the leading players in European football at centre-half. Is he a player I want to lose? No he's not. But like any club, if an offer comes in that is in the best interests of the club, of course you have to look at it.
"From a football perspective, do I want to lose Daniel Agger? Not really. He can be a really pivotal player for me, he understands how I want to work. But I am a realist. And the reality is that if a club comes in with a massive bid then the club may have to look at it. You can never say never."

You really think that players have to like a manager and be bestest buddy wuddies?
------------
What is this in relation to, when have I said that?
If you ask me who you would believe well thats your perogative to believe your manager but do I actually believe him and do the majority of people outside of Liverpool believe that?

Are you telling me that is coherent?

I dont believe that Tevez and Mancini are best friends but I do believe Tevez will give 100% on the pitch but then I'm not clutching at straws.

Clutching at what straws, that phrase doesn't fit in that sentence.
Seriously pal, give it up, this conversation is just horrible painful.

Actually they are all relevent, you are clutching at straws, you did state that Carroll and BR are happy with each other and yes in context of the posts your belief in your manager and my not believing him is quite coherent.
As I said losing the arguament so lets all go to pedant land

If you go back in this thread to where this started, you'll see that I had an issue with you stating that half the team is upset.
"For all your internicine fighting the truth of the matter is your Bren has managed to upset half the team before a ball has been kicked in anger."
It's really rather pathetic that this has gone on this long.

Given BR's handling of recent events involving Carroll and Aggar in particular i think its a fair assumption that others in the squad may be feeling a little cheesed off with him.
