Baros 'annoyed' at boss Benitez

Liverpool striker Milan Baros has admitted he is frustrated at not playing more first-team football. Baros and fit-again Djibril Cisse are vying for a starting place in the Champions League final.

And Baros told Czech newspaper Pravo: "It is not true that I had or have had disputes with boss Rafael Benitez.

"But I am annoyed that when I'm fit I only warm the bench or when Benitez takes me off during a game even if I haven't used up all my energy."

Baros, who has been substituted 22 times during 43 appearances this season, added: "I need to play. Only then will I be better than I am now."

The Czech Republic striker was substituted for Cisse at half-time in Sunday's match against Arsenal.

And with Benitez expected to select only one recognised striker in the Champions League final against AC Milan on 25 May, there appears to be a direct competition between the two players for the starting berth.

Baros, 23, added in the article that he will make a decision about his future in the summer.

Several clubs have been linked with the striker, including Valencia and Fiorentina, while Pravo has also suggested Everton could be in the frame.

But Baros said: "Speculation is good for nothing. This question will be answered at the end of the season. Then we will deal with it with my agent.

"Of course it would be much better to speak about offers with a Champions League medal."

"I have not said I am going to leave Liverpool. I have some offers, but this is my agent Pavel Paska's job.

"If I leave the Reds I would like to play in a team which would be at least at the same level as Liverpool in regard to playing in European competitions. And I would like to play there constantly."

Bad timing :kader: and if he wants to "answer the question at the end of the season," he should just keep his mouth shut FOR NOW !

What does Baros want? play until the 89th minute then go out? Benitez has to change things while there's still time for the subs to have an impact on the match...

He'll be sold at seasons end. Cash in on him and Diouf for 10 million combined i hope. Use the money to improve the squad. But you are right, its a team game, he has to do the team things.
 
thats ****e. so if we win the champions league this year nobody will want to play for the champions of europe? get a clue. we'll get players fine. kewell didnt mind joining in 2003/2004 when everyone thought he was ace ( :( ) and we werent in europe. i think we'll bring in a few quality signings in summer.

as for baros, he can **** off as far as im concerned cause he's just not good enough :jambo:

Who are you guys getting for summer? (Apart from Reina)

Who knows, Rafa keeps everything pretty quiet until we've actually signed someone. But there have been some rumours of Joaquin, Mintal and Erva in a swap deal with Traore going the other way. Who knows?

But i know one thing, i am certain Baros will be leaving so i think we'll need a new striker to compliment Cisse and Morientes.

about Baros, he doesnt deserve to play for Liverpool imho. Ive seen numerous games from him for Liverpool, and its like hes getting worse and worse. In the premiership he plays like a ******* idiot, and the CL isnt much better. Cisse and Morientes will be fine upfront for Pool.

Yeah we need a new striker... Baros is pretty much gone but I don't know how much we can spend... with Hamann, Smicer set to leave I guess we need more midfielders as well... or maybe some youngsters like Welsh and Le Tallec will have their chance?

Jesus. Baros doesnt belong in the EPL? If thats the case then id love to see him get a chance at Chelsea on his way out. Effort counts for something in my book, and Baros consistently shows that in games ive seen him in.

Do you all think that with your trip to Istanbul and all, the board will be granting Benitez a better transfer budget this summer? Or are they going to assume that he can achieve even more in light of your injuries? Hopefully they give him the cash, as you could land your new striker and then some. And are all those rumors from a long while ago about Carlsberg potentially dropping Liverpool now a thing of the past? Well, i guess that answer is obvious...

He doesn't. He tries so damn hard, but it never pays off.
I mean it's not as if he's sh*t or anything.

He would flourish in Spain.

I doubt if anyones interested but apparently we are In talks with some Joaquin chap from Betis. :rockman: :rockman: :rockman: :rockman:
Good.
Wa-keem is a Spanish chav. He would fit right in.
It's as if him Mellor and Gerrard are related in some sick way.
