Malouda not going to Reds - Agent

Malouda: Not going to Anfield

Speaking exclusively to setantasports.com, Florent Malouda’s agent has said that he would be ‘very surprised’ to see Liverpool make an offer for the Chelsea winger.

Malouda, voted Player of the Season in France in 2006/2007, moved to Stamford Bridge with a superstar status.

But the France international failed to make an impression under Jose Mourinho and more recently Avram Grant, as he only appeared 21 times, scoring twice in The Premier League.

Reports have linked him with a move to Rafa Benitez’s side, but his representative Philippe Flavier has distanced his client from a switch to Anfield.

The Frenchman also revealed that he attended a meeting with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, but refused to elaborate on the reason.

“I would be very surprised to receive an offer from Liverpool for Florent, after what happened last year,” Flavier told setantasports.com, in reference to Malouda’s decision to snub The Reds for The Blues in the summer of 2007.

“I met with Arsene Wenger yesterday (on Wednesday), but saying that it is about Florent and Arsenal is a wrong rumour.”

Pig Face - 16 May 2008 09:49: Justin what are you talking about?? One of the most senseless comments i have ever read. Burnley?? What? Maybe you meant Barnsley? Goat; Report this to a moderator

Justin - 15 May 2008 22:56: Chelsea has wasted roughly £100 million in 2-3 years and will continue to do so because money is the reason why players who are world class do not mind sitting on the bench for Chelsea and rot away pocketing £ 80,000 a week in wages. Chelsea waste millions on players who are fit and will most probably only play when 2 or 3 players become injured. For Chelsea money is not an issue. Mr Roubles will vist his Russian piggy bank and raid it until he annihilates the opposition. Will this occur ? The answer - Burnley.; Report this to a moderator

unjnown - 15 May 2008 18:10: i carnt beleive chelski payed 13.5mil for Malouda, i beleive it is a ripp off and why. Or maybe i am going totally the wrong way with this, as this is his first season in premier league and it takes sum players more longer than others to addapt.; Report this to a moderator

Richard M - 15 May 2008 17:01: Yes , He also represents Ben arfa as well as nasri; Report this to a moderator

Laurent Picard - 15 May 2008 16:58: Not Hatem Ben Arfa, but Toulouse's Achille Emana.; Report this to a moderator

PEPSI - 15 May 2008 16:57: How much did Chelsea pay for him, does anyone know?; Report this to a moderator

Rob - 15 May 2008 16:54: Everyone seems to be snubbing everyone. But you can't blame Malouda. Surely moving to Liverpool from a club that has a genuine chance of challenging for the title would be a retrograde step.; Report this to a moderator

Arse&Nose - 15 May 2008 16:43: He doesnt represent Ben Arfa or Nasri(unless the sacked their agents recently!) . He does however represent 25 year old Cameroon International Achille Emana, and French striker Pierre-Alain Frau.; Report this to a moderator

“I wish we didn't sell the guy. Phil is the definition of loyalty and I'm sure he'll end up with legendary status at your club as he did ours. There's not many players like that these days, and I'm glad he's playing an important part for another great side. Peace.”
