// May 17 2006 Morientes Awaits Chop as Benitez Hunts for Strikers Fernando Morientes last night revealed that he has been unable to settle at Liverpool and expects to be sold when Rafael Benitez strengthens his FA Cup winning squad this summer. The 30-year-old has been a major disappointment at Anfield, where he scored only nine goals last season and was relegated to the substitutes' bench behind the equally unwanted Djibril Cissé for Saturday's showpiece in Cardiff. Morientes's disillusionment was compounded on Monday when he was omitted from Luis Aragones's Spain squad for the World Cup. "I've been at Liverpool for a year and a half and with injuries and other things I've never felt right. I'll have to speak to the manager to see if he wants me but I can't stay if I don't play. I left Madrid because I didn't feel useful." Darren Bent, Jermain Defoe and Craig Bellamy are all under consideration by the Liverpool manager, though he will not pay excessive amounts for those players. As for Morientes, he now finds himself in a similar position to Cissé in that Benitez would like to use them to raise transfer funds providing a club willing to match their wage demands steps forward. On his absence from the Spanish World Cup squad Morientes, who is interesting several clubs in La Liga including Espanyol, added: "If I'd played more, if I'd scored 15 or 20 more goals, I'd have been able to expect something better but I haven't played well. My playing style was my guarantee but the terrible year I've had has put paid to that."
