Liverpool tell Mascherano to drop Barcelona thoughts

Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano's hopes of forcing a January move to Barcelona will end in frustration.

Rafa Benitez will not allow further disruption to his squad given the problems this season, says the News of the World.

Mascherano has been a shadow of his former self since a £30million deal fell through last summer.

Liverpool will review his future at the end of the season. Until then the Argentine is under orders to forget about a switch to the Nou Camp.

Mascha is a good player but I reckon Liverpool have to get rid of him... The money from his transfer would be better used elsewhere... Rafa has to be smarter in the transfer market because so far it seems like he doesnt know shit!

who gives a flying fuuck about a mid table quality team? they need to face facts, liverpool suuck harder than your mom giving a blow job for 1 pound

pair of fags chatting shit, as usual.
