The French midfielder has spent the past season on loan at Marseille but has endured a frustrating period at Stade Velodrome.
While Cheyrou does not regret joining Marseille, he concedes he would have preferred a greater involvement in the first team.
He is currently due to return to Liverpool in the summer but does not believe he has a role to play in Rafa Benitez's plans next season.
Monaco have been linked with a bid for the 27-year-old as Cheyrou looked back on a season of disappointment.
"I have serious training sessions," Cheyrou told But! "I am a professional but in my situation I could stay at home.
"Playing only a few minutes during every game is useless. I can not bring anything, even if I do my best.
"When I came to Marseille, my aim was to join a French team again. Now, after such a season, I just hope to find a club that trusts me.
"Coming to Marseille was the best choice, I don't regret anything.
"I read in the press that Monaco is attracted by me. That is nice and interesting. Playing at such a club could be a good experience.
"Last year I decided to leave Liverpool before knowing the decision about Rafa Benitez. One year later he has built his group and I don't think I am a priority."
Meanwhile, Lens' deadline to sign Reds midfielder Alou Diarra has been extended until the end of the month.
Diarra is spending the campaign on loan at Lens and the Ligue 1 side originally had until April 30 to activate their right to buy the player.
Though that has passed, an extension has been granted until May 31, with Diarra previously stating he is keen to stay with Sang et Or.

I must admit i had forgot all about him. Couldnt have done much in his time at Anfield then could he?? Only one good little spell he had which only lasted 3 games and then went back to his usual standard. Just not good enough to play in any top league i reckon.

[ian cooper]

I was at Anfield for a friendly match, his first appearance. He had a good game and I think he hit the bar with a cracking shot, being labelled the new Zidane by GH I expected a lot.

To be fair to the lad he wasn't given a crack, look how Biscan has turned out now he's had a good run although I don't think Cheyrou would ever come close to Zidane on a special day.

Glad to see him going, another player off the books and making space for a new arrival under a manager who will buy and make them produce.

[taff]

If anyone can make hime the next Zidane RB can but I dont think he's that bothered and nor am I

Agreed Taff.

I am sure he has the ability (see Chelsea game for one perfect example of what he can do) and I am sure Rafa would be the ideal manager to sort him out (see Igor and Djimi) but his attitude (see his request for first team assurances) is not the best and I think we should see if we can get a few quid for him and cut our losses.

In fact I think this close season should be the time that we cut our losses on the three signings from the "Annuss Horribilus" summer of Gerard Houlliers signings. They cost us £20m, but I reckon if we can get around £7m for them then we should get shut of all of them. I was thinking £3m for Diouf and £2m for Cheyrou and £2m for Diao.

remind me not to buy a car from you mate 
lucky for us diouf has hit a bit of form and bolton like the look of him, and we should get a few bob for him. around the time of the spitting incident against the pompey centre half de zeuw (sp?) i remember bolton saying they would take him off our hands if we paid THEM five hundred grand.

so what are you saying then?

That we should get more money for them or that they are not worth a carrott??

[Cool Hand Luke]

I would say:

Diouf: 3 MIL

Diao : 1MIL or less

Cheyrou: 1MIL or less.

i`m saying if we got 7million for those three it would be a miracle. french clubs are notoriously shrewd with their money - they prefer to sell than buy and when clubs know we are desperate to unload they drive a hard bargain.
i`d be just happy to get them off the wage bill to be honest mate

All 3 of em are in my eyes 

[Big Niall]

I think there should be a george graham type tribunal. There is no way a manager, even GH could think they were worth £20m, he must have pocketed about £15m of that (then throw in the £5m we gave him to get lost) and he is laughing.

Agree with that post.

They are not the kind of quality LFC need.

Lose em 

[azriahmad]

Lose them...will have to be at a huge loss for it to happen.

I don't know if GH is the "George Graham" type of a manager to have gotten such a big bung out of the transfers but they are really sh!te.
