Rodgers though re-iterated his desire to keep Pratley at the Liberty Stadim and told the Western Mail \u201cHe (Grant) rang me and asked the question on Darren, but I was straight to the point with him and said he wasn\u2019t a player I wanted to sell.<\/p>\n
\u201cI spoke to Darren and told him, but there was no problem because he\u2019s happy here.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I think anyone else coming in would be wasting their time because there is a feeling Darren and the players here want to achieve something together.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis plan has always been to see out the season and that hasn\u2019t changed. People might think they can get him on the cheap, but they will have to wait until the summer \u2013 if he decides to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
