Fulham and Stoke are both plotting to make a bid for Liverpool centre-back Sami Hyypia. (News of the World)

Sami was understandably miffed when he learnt that he was not going to be part of the club’s Champions League squad, and he is finding it hard to get a game due to the excellent form of both Jamie C and Skrtel. That he could have expected, so now I guess it’s a case of what he wants to do with the tail-end of his footballing career.

The Finn probably has a couple of seasons in him and he could choose to spend them as cover at a club that he has spent nearly a decade (and doing a sterling job for pretty much all of his tenure), or he could opt to attempt a new challenge where first team starts may be more likely. It’s a tough choice and one that he will no doubt be pondering. Do Liverpool fans think that Hyypia will leave to join either Fulham or Stoke?
