Palace have bid 25m for Benteke. Should probably get 30m for him now.

Magico Gonzalez

Fck it, I'd take the 25m.

I'd much rather ship him off abroad, he'll always score when he plays against us.

Jaysus, thought that one would run and run, the transfer saga that is, not Benteke.

Garuda Airlines bookmaking business wasn't the best, glad they are being replaced.

How did they come up with that company name?

Need someone to miss a sitter in stoppage time? BetVictor (Moses)

Palace always seem to do us anyway so no change there then.

Looks like we're playing hardball and holding out for more.

Only right in the current market and clubs do it to us all the time.

Good to see.

Utopia Parkway

Seeing as we're basically swapping Benteke for Mane in terms of transfer fees you'd hope we'd have enough money left to go out and buy a quality CM and LB. Talk that the club is willing to offer 30M for Dahoud but that Mönchengladbach don't want to sell him until next Summer. Not sure what the alternatives are?

Bit jealous of zatlan going to utd. I presume they are paying him crazy money.

Meh..... I've always felt he was overrated. He is of course capable of the incredible but I dont really fear him to be honest. Scored a rake in Ligue 1 but it's a nothing league for PSG. At 34 he will have a decreasing influence on things over the combing seasons.

He has the hair for the combing seasons, to be fair to him.

Just noticed that he's won 9 league titles over the last 10 seasons.

That's an incredible record.

I wouldn't say there be too many players out there with that kind of silverware.

If he doesn't want to stay though not much we can do....

He's a very good player but unfortunately has been plagued with injury with us.

Anytime he had a decent run in the team and he was improving he got injured again. I would like to see him stay though. Was excellent whenever Klopp called upon him in the latter part of last season.

Excellent since his birthday at Christmas.

Recovered well from the loose pass that led to their goal. Delighted for Wales, I hope they beat Portugal as well.

Harry Palmr

Can I just say how thrilled I am for Joe Allen and how relived I am Divock Origi, Christian Benteke and Simone Mignolet are not going to be associated with that omnishambles.

In fairness to him, there was a hell of a lot of play after that pass and none if them got close to the Belgians in the run up to the goal.
It was a poor pass though.

We want 30m they bid 25m, this will be sorted soon enough you'd imagine.

I can't see why not, he is only 25 ,scores some great goals, with up to 10 years left in his career he will score a lot of goals for a team suited to him, i would definitely prefer to see him go abroad, hate it when ex Liverpool players score against us,China would be great

Yeah it's a great record. I've just never rated him as world class like some do. As I said capable of great moments but not a player I would be particularly worried about facing from a Liverpool point of view. I don't see him having a huge impact on the league. UTD will have bigger threats.

Francie Barrett

It's mad that our fans cream themselves for the likes of Witsel, Mertens, and Nainggolan - but yet our very own Joe Allen goes and makes a mug of them all.

I really hope he stays, but I wouldn't blame him for leaving. When you're voted the least wanted player at a club, I am sure it leaves a mark.

That is just one snapshot. Like the article states, Joe Allen has consistently been one of the least wanted players at the club since he joined us.

kildare75

Joe Allen can not be sold.... I've been a fan of his since we signed him, he provides the link between defence and attack so well when fit, he has had his critics for sure, but if he was Spanish, French German or from Southampton would we not be delighted to have signed him?...
Jurgen give him a decent run please

K-9

Yep, it's only Really the last few months he has got cult status. Many wanted him gone last Summer. I thought this season would be make or break for him and it wasn't looking good until the turn of the year. Injuries haven't helped at all.

Suppose like Lucas it comes down to game time, they might want to be team starters elsewhere.

WarZ

Jurgen knows best.

for good reason though he was ****e for 95% of the games

Meh he never going to anything more than what he currently is, this is his best ever form by the way. I am at the stage that I don't want him gone anymore as he is a decent option in current form however I wont lose any sleep if he does go.

MD1990

Allen has always been a good player for us. Just unappreciated in an era obsessed with stats assists+goals.
He joined when he was 22 & now at 26 he has shown in the last year he is improving as a player. We should keep him & hopefully he can stay injury free as that has been his biggest problem.

I remember when he joined initially he was superb but then lost form as he was playing with a shoulder injury during his 1st season. Selling him for 10m when championship players are costing more would be crazy.

Perhaps Allen might want to leave for guaranteed first team football.

Turtyturd

Said this before but I have flip flopped back and forth on my opinion of Allen since he joined.

He was instantly placed under a lot of pressure due to a soundbite from a manager who loved the sound of his own voice and who was eager to claim some credit for his development.

Started off well but when 'The Rodgers' ditched his philosophy after two weeks he couldn't figure out how to utilise Allen in a different way. I think the fact Klopp managed that in a couple of weeks shows just how much of an upgrade we have in him.

As it is now I would keep him (if he wants to stay). He offers something different to Milner's run around and fall over or Henderson's run around and kick the ball away cross field as soon as he gets it.

Allen is ok to have in certain types of games. Unfortunately he is next to useless in physical games, which the EPL is flush with. A starting Allen every week results in us finishing 6th/7th/8th tops imho.

Never be a better time to sell. Could easily be replaced and id be amazed/disappointed if Klopp didnt have a handfull of players in mind to come in. I also include Lucas in the out bracket. Sentiment reveals bad decisions more often than good ones. We have too many 'squad' players who get more starts than they should. That's why we have no European football in the coming season. Im expecting some ruthlessness over next couple of windows in terms of exits.

Ah now, Milner has surely earned his stripes in the last few months of the season. He's a bloody great winger. Such a shame he doesn't realise that's his best only position.

WarZ

I have incredibly high hopes for Liverpool this season. I really feel they will go all the way. Fantastic team, fantastic coach and unlike a lot of other PL teams, a fantastic attitude.

They are what every PL team should strive to be and hopefully this coming season they will be rewarded.

Benteke would probably do great at Palace. They have loads of wingers getting crosses in. He'll score loads. And probably at least one against us too.

Harry Palmr

Hat trick is nailed on I'd imagine.
