Plenty of Liverpool fans are glad to see the back of Martin Skrtel

Martin Skrtel is gone.

He's not dead - just moved to Turkey, and in doing so brings to an end eight years at Liverpool. Although news of his move to Fenerbahce has only just been confirmed by the Turkish club, word got round that he was in town to for his medical at the Istanbul club a couple of days ago. Amongst Liverpool supporters, the overwhelming sentiment was probably something like this... https://twitter.com/lezituman/status/753570914604908544 But it's also fair to say that plenty were pretty chuffed to see the back of him. We're not sure why... https://twitter.com/Matt_Furniss/status/753575293005262848 This started when the Slovakian touched down in Istanbul earlier in the week - although how they were able to work he was on the brink of a move is beyond us... https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldWrap/status/752958281891667968 With the news now confirmed by Fenerbahce, here is a sample of what some of the Liverpool support was saying. Although many were quick to point to his loyalty, they also added that, for a defender, there was one major problem with him: he was shit at defending. https://twitter.com/_lfcjoel/status/753572414622199810 https://twitter.com/LfcReg/status/753573844925943808 https://twitter.com/EntireDesign_/status/753573422618279937 Many were treating his departure as being one of the best bits of business Jurgen Klopp had done all summer. https://twitter.com/svdkenie/status/753573083399741440 https://twitter.com/Blame_Suarez/status/753547260462587905 The phrase 'about time' was also a popular response. https://twitter.com/adamgottalent/status/753571208969461760 And with Skrtel joining a couple of other Anfield departures, many also pointed to Jurgen Klopp's shrewd transfer dealings so far. https://twitter.com/Jay_78_/status/753259108862717952 We can't help feeling that net spend of £7.7m may increase in the weeks to come.
