Jamie Carragher Doesn’t Want to be the New Sami Hyypia

Jamie Carragher is prepared to walk away from Liverpool at the end of the season when his contract expires.

“The club will give me a new contract if they want to,” he told the Sunday Times. “If not, it doesn’t matter, I’ll still play my best and if I have to move then I’ll move, no problem. It wouldn’t bother me.”

I wonder if he has the cautionary tale of Sami Hyypia in the back of his mind.  Liverpool received offers for Hyypia in the August 2008 transfer window but turned them down cold.  On September 8th, Hyypia found out that he was left out of the 25-man Champions League squad, which pretty much wrecked his last season with the Reds.
