    No new contact but he will stay. He is seen to have no resale value and is worth more seeing out his contact.

    Can see the sense in this, sort of, in an aggrieved way. Hopefull we'll buy someone else at RB and he'll be a decent squad player and have something to 'fight for' as if the PL title isn't ****ing enough for the waster... give him one more season then flog the dead weight.

  3. I think that article suggests he'll be going this summer.

    Saying he won't be going anywhere helps boost his sale value. There is no benefit in saying his contract won't be extended.

    God, I hope we get rid of him this summer. Replace him Brendan, please.

    What's the logic in keeping a **** player on such high wages? Because we spent £18m on him and want to get the most out of him. Why did we sell Carroll then? Just sell him BR, please.

    I for one think that there's no grand conspiracy and Rodgers has said enough long enough to suggest that Johnson won't be sold unless an actual real offer turns in.... Ne me who'd want the guy????

    The only benefit in him staying would be that he brings big game experience for the CL, especially after another WC. He also provides extra competition and squad depth, something we're obviously lacking. We still need to buy another full back, but if we sell we'd have to replace and then also buy an addition.

    Yes his wages are huge but let's be honest, getting rid of him won't be easy so keep him for another year, to provide depth and let's be honest... he can't be any worse than this year surely? <whistle>

    I think he's a decent player who always gives his all. One of the better players we have, he should score more goals tho

    I'm sorry but that's just not true in the slightest.

    He's been the only player I've been consistently critical of all season so I won't shed a tear if he leaves.
    However, I don't think we'd get a lot for him, and we do need to bolster the squad so if we can bring someone in to start before him, it might be reasonable to keep him on as competition/ backup.
    I don't want another season of him as first choice RB though.

    Sarcasm or severely deluded. His biggest problem is his work ethic, he is so lazy and just doesn't care.

    Exactly what I was gonna say. Patently a player who doesn't 'always give his all' as the article says with its mentioning that people inside the club think the same. Hopefully you're just taking the P

    He's had a bad season and lost a yard since he came back from injury. Before that he was one of Liverpool's and England's top performers. Very sad to see his decline.

    Some on here sound like Talksponk giving him 4/10 during the Euros when he was England's best defender.

    He's had a poor 18 months IMO.

    Leicester perhaps? They're supposedly on the verge of being big money- but have no reputation to draw in players with yet. A few over the hill "name" signings might be in their books in the future.
