it looks like he is on his way.

Strange considering Benitez says, he spoke to Diouf pre-US tour, however Diouf said in the press he is waiting to speak to Benitez poast-US tour??

Guys, here's some news on El-Hadji "Serial Misser/Diver" Diouf on not being a part of Rafael Benithez's plans:
(Source is the Liverpool Echo website)

EL-HADJI DIOUF has told Liverpool he has no intention of giving up his lucrative contract despite their attempts to get him out of the club.

Anfield officials have been trying to offload the £10m flop all summer with moves to Portsmouth, Malaga and Real Betis all muted.

The Senegal international has not been given a squad number for the new season, was left out of the 23-man squad for the current tour of North America and his agent Alexander Kristic has been informed he does not figure in Rafael Benitez's plans.

Nevertheless, Diouf insists he wants a face-to-face meeting with the new Liverpool manager before moving on and will not give up the final two years of his contract without a fight.

"Until the manager, Benitez, returns from the tour of the United States and I have spoken to him face-to-face, I will not make a definitive decision on my future,'' said Diouf.

"I think I could have a chance if he gives me an opportunity.

"If that is not the case I will have to go on loan for a year, but I won't give up my contract. Things have been signed and all parties have to respect that."

Harry Redknapp this week revealed he still hopes to lure Diouf to Fratton Park, although the player himself is more in favour of a move to Spain.

''Spain is the best league in the world along with the English and is very attractive for a professional like me,'' he said..

So much for the hopes of getting any return from his sale...

I'm not suprised he's prepared to fight for his contract, those wages for appearances effictively (he certainly doesn't make an impact!)? Who wouldn't want a contract like that. On top of it all Liverpool is the best club he'll ever be (sh*t) at.

I know financially it would be unwise ... but let him rot in the reserves ......

I would give Diouf a chance and I hope the manager does, that chance shoulda been on the US tour but he never went

On another note, i will be caredully watching the Liv vs. Roma match carefully tonight, as it is there last game before the start of the seaon and their last game of the Tour
