Dudek desperate to leave Liverpool
Goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek wants to leave Liverpool 'at whatever cost', insists he will not play another game for the club and has accused manager Rafael Benitez of talking 'rubbish'.
The 32-year-old was a hero for the Anfield club in last season's Champions League final against AC Milan, playing a key role in the penalty shoot-out as Liverpool lifted the trophy for the fifth time.
But he has since fallen behind both Jose Reina and Scott Carson in the Anfield pecking order, and wants first team football to protect his place in the Poland team for this summer's World Cup finals in Germany.
'My time at Liverpool has reached its end. Nothing can change that,' Dudek told The Sun.
The Pole believes Liverpool want £3million for him, but said: 'If someone buys me for £3million, Liverpool will have pulled off the transfer deal of the year. I am 33 in March. I have no idea how they came to such an absurd figure.
'It's the latest lot of rubbish from Benitez. Even if he wants to play me in a Liverpool match, I don't want to play for this club any more.
'I can't see any point talking further with Benitez. It's a waste of time. I have decided to leave Liverpool at whatever cost and I won't change my mind. Benitez just makes the frustration deeper.
'I didn't go to play against Luton in the FA Cup last Saturday especially to make it clear to Benitez I am not interested in being the club's second-choice keeper.
'Why doesn't he behave like a decent person for once in his life and start treating me in a proper way, like I always have him?' -
I kind of sad to see him said not wanting to play for Liverpool.
I know he needs play time in order to make it for WC2006 but what to do.... Ah Ben puts him last in the order even after Carson.
I do hope he can get a good club and continue to perform for the new club.
Thank you Dudek for giving us the Champion League medal. Thank you. -

sure to go one even though this is what he said in the Liverpool website:Originally posted by Patrik:Go go go
Jerzy Dudek has reacted angrily to morning newspaper claims that he has criticised manager Rafael Benitez by declaring: "I have nothing but respect for the boss."
The Liverpool goalkeeper is unhappy with claims that he has launched a scathing attack on the Reds' boss and, although he admits he is frustrated not to be playing at the moment, he is furious with suggestions that he never wants to play for the club again.
"I was very unhappy to read the stories about me in today's newspapers," said Dudek. "I did not say those things and have sat down with the manager and told him that.
"I have a great deal of respect for Rafa Benitez and have learnt more from him in the past 18 months than from any other manager in my career. You do not insult somebody you respect.
"It's crazy when people claim I don't want to play for Liverpool anymore. This is a great club with fantastic supporters, so why would I not want to be involved?
"Like any other footballer I want to play regularly. I have become frustrated at my current situation, but I am a professional and will continue to work as hard as I can in training and do my best for Liverpool Football club."
Another reason why he sure go :
Liverpool have completed the signing of goalkeeper David Martin from MK Dons on a three and a half year contract. -
Dun know why Liverpool have to disposed of their goalkeeper after winning a Major European Cup.
Same for GH and Ah Ben.
Both the goal keeper have let in 3 goals in the final.
Ah Ben should give Dudek some game to play instead of shutting him out completely in cold storage.
Carson not experienced enough to control the defence.
So, Ah Ben is taking some risk here. -
