They did it early.

:(

One year there and then back to us coaching, please Sami.

Really glad he didn't join an english team.

I'm gutted, even though him moving on was inevitable.

He's still way too good to be our 4th choice.

Wish him the absolute best.

A model professional, sad to see him go but he's been a great service to the club. Probably most value for money we have seen in recent years.

A legend and great servant to the team. I would have liked him to have joined the coaching staff, but he obviously feels he still wants to play. Good luck at Bayer Leverkusen Sami.

Real shame, but I am glad he is going to go to a decent club to carry on playing.

Hope he is back as a coach soon as possible.

One of my favourite players. An absolute rock in games. My highlights:

1. His rock sold partnership with Henchoz then for a little while with Carra
2. His dominance in the air
3. CL goals vs Juventus & Arsenal
4. The season he went without getting a single yellow card - incredible

Our best centre-half gone. Seriously. A sad, sad day for me. Hopefully he will return one day in some capacity.
 Hope he still gets a testimonial, if anyone deserves one it is big Sami.

Been a great servant. I believe if we had had him on the pitch v Chelsea would have been a different story.

Fucking traitor. Nobody improves on themselves after leaving this club.

Seriously though, gutted to see him leave. Would have been great to keep such a model professional at the club a little longer. A genuine legend for me.

Good luck Sami.

PROPER Legend at LFC (and to think there was a thread asking if David Speedie was a legend not long ago!!!)
Unflappable, superb defender. Did his job, and did it well. Bargain of the last 20 years.

Hope the fans give him the send off he deserves.
