Mascherano

Javier Mascherano is demanding a transfer out of Liverpool which will be Roy Hodgson's first big test as Liverpool manager.
Will he force him to stay and risk the surly Argie having a strop and refusing to play or take the easy option and flog him to Inter for a reported 25 million?
Seems an easy option as holding midfielders aren't usually worth that sort of money and the money could be better used probably on another striker to complement Torres.
