Don't get the sadness for Toure, he has been the best of a bad bunch over the years and we need upgrading.

We have won nothing in years but a lot of posters don't seem to realise that it might be something to do with the players we have.

Probably because he's the best 4th choice CB we've had in a very long time (as long as I can remember). To the point where he's skipped himself up the pecking order - but he was still very much brought in as 4th choice and it's exactly the role i'd have loved him to stay in, with a bit of a shift into coaching too.

Very sleazy stuff. They seem to attract a sort of player alright.

I can't see Kolo getting into coaching in general tbh.

The full released list

McLaughlin,
Polgár,
Cleary,
Brewitt,
Touré,
Enrique,
O'Hanlon,
Marsh
Yeşil
Teixeira likely to follow - a contract offer is still on table. Sergi Canos could also leave as things stand

Sinclair, Rossiter and Tricket-Smith also left

Looks like Liverpool can't even get their release list right!

Michael Beale (@michaelbeale) on twitter: "Misleading reports, I can confirm that @TomBrewitt5 is very much still a LFC player and will be with us for the new season as planned"

I'd say club ambassador. Seems like that role would suit him...and more than likely it'll be for Arsenal. Probably one of the most happiest players I've ever seen play. Love the guy.

He already said a while back that that's his plan;
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/kolo-toure-burning-desire-become-8809091

“It is an ambition of mine to be a manager,” Toure told the ECHO.

“I am doing my UEFA B badge right now but it takes time. I am focused on my game because I want to stay playing football for a few years.

“As an African, we need to have more African coaches because we need to take that responsibility.

Danny Ward is starting today.

So that's three Liverpool players to stink the place out! :pac:

G'wan Danny.

Ricardo Rodriguez from Wolfsburg anyone?

He would be an exceptional signing and a huge improvement over the brainless left back we currently have. Sadly however, he is probably destined for a bigger club than us.

BullBlackNova

Rodriguez was linked with a massive money move to Real Madrid on and off since January - €30-35 million iir. That said, there were reports this week that Zidane had decided to recall Coentrao from Monaco instead of signing Rodriguez to spend the money elsewhere.

Whoever he joins, they've got themselves one of the best in the world in that position.

ricero

We should just raid wolfsburg. Some cracking players in that squad such as rodriquez and draxler

Because Wolfsburg didn't make the CL his release fee is now about 20m.

In that case, get working on the whip-round Harry.

Wee Joe can actually speak Welsh. Is there anything the Wizard can't do.

murpho999

Now looks like Liverpool's third choice keeper will make more Euro 2016 finals appearances than our first. Incredible.

Has he got a song at Anfield?

If not I think we should adopt the Welsh one.

Give me hope Joe Allen..

You aren't comparing like with like though. Belgium have one of the top rated goalkeepers in the world keeping Mignolet out of their team, Wales had a first choice keeper who is injured, thus their reserve (and ours in the second half of the season) had played. How is one thing related to the other?

No big deal but not something I would have foreseen at the start of the season.

He was on loan then came back as second choice, hope he has a good game here or atleast a steady one, each game has had a howler from a keeper so far. Last thing he needs is one.

I doubt he'll be at Liverpool next season anyhow. Probably either out on loan again or sold I reckon unless Mignolet decides he wants to bail.

I'd say he'll be loaned out to a Championship team next year with Ming and Slow Lloris fighting for the starting spot.

Then the following year, depending on how everyone gets on move Ming on and bring Ward back as backup.

Any date in place for ticket sales yet? Presumably awaiting the leagues fixture list?

Charlie19

Looked like a nasty elbow there from Skrtel but I wouldn't say it was intentional, he's not that type of player.

Wales should have had a penalty through him though.

Awful defender. Can't wait for confirmation that he's been sold.

Turtyturd

That Mignolet/Ward post was tongue in cheek, yeah?

I'd imagine so given that they will be in categories. Fixtures released on Wednesday. Sale will probably happen the week beginning July 5th.

I'm in 2 minds whether to bother trying for tickets next season. Didn't bother this season and didn't even renew my membership, so probably saved a couple of grand all told including everything assuming 5-7 games going over.

Yup it was a definite penalty and Slovakia can count themselves a wee bit fortunate not to be two goals down.

As for Skrtel, I actually still like the chap and would still keep him at the club, especially when you look at our options in that position.

He's a liability and has been for years. He has cost us a lot of points in key games. Did you see him this season when he came on against Southampton?

As for our options, that's what this transfer window will be all about.

Joe Allen playing out of his skin. Would be sad to see him go

He's cost us points all right, as most defenders will over a season but that Southampton game you mention, I wouldn't blame skrtel for the three goals and from what I remember, the blame could easily fall with a number of players.

ricero

Lovren, sakho (assuming hes not getting banned), matip, gomez and lucas as cb options are fine for me.

Think it will be matip and sakho as first choice

He was a nightmare in that game, gave away a penalty, that was missed and his mistakes led to two goals.

Combine that with his constant shirt pulling and poor decision making means that he will not be missed when gone.

klose

Skrtel bizzarely body checked bale a mile from the ball and in slovakies box, his idiocy knows no bounds. Be glad to see the back of him.

martyos121

Any Skrtel defenders now? No?

The penalty was harsh, two players were swinging out of each other and decision could've went either way.

He mistimed two headers but there was enough players around to deal with the aftermath. He was also put under pressure by Mignolet after what should've been a routine kickout.

I hear ya. Need my fix though!

Should hopefully be easier to get tickets with the new stand in place.

Doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't increasing the number of tickets in the sales.

Harry Palmr

My god how are we going to get rid of Skrtel when "teh" whole of Europe is watching him!?

Plenty of nut jobs in Turkey

Charlie19

There will be plenty of takers if Klopp decides to sell.
