Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 2016, Mod Warning in OP, 10/7

The biggest problem is this incident would have Lovern starting.

If Sakho is out then a new centre back is needed immediately.

I think can will be that player by the end of the season

Not unless his awareness and close control in tight areas has improved considerably.

Lovren was actually quite good last season. Klavan will most likely fill the LCB slot too

Kinda sums up how I'm feeling about the Sakho reports...

Feels like we're never going to get our **** together, sometimes.

If he was sent back for disciplinary reasons I don't understand why they couldn't just keep that to themselves.

Well, they're not saying anything, which is part of the problem. Pierce and Reddy are reporting into a vacuum.

Where have the club said anything?

This stuff gets out these days.

So much for Sakho being captain. He seems a bit of a basket case. I did find the retort from Klopp during the Alcatraz video to be quite telling.

I would think it's likely that somebody leaked the info to them.

Pepp1989

Everyone was laughing and joking about sakho yesterday. Then rumours break and everyone 'knew there was something up'. Lots of revisionism going on here.

Club should already have a statement out on this tbh. Storm in a teacup or a storm. They should be controlling the narrative.

Umaro

Glad that Sakho is finally being exposed. The cult of personality means he's been flying under the radar for quite a while.

Flanagan having a medical with Burnley today ahead of his loan move.

Potentially Sakho's 2nd / 3rd attitude issue while at the club....... not good if true. I think he's great on the pitch though to be fair.

As with the doping scandal, lets give him the benefit of the doubt.

Brazilian wonderkid Allan gone to Hertha Berlin on loan for the season.

You'd wonder if we will ever see him in a Liverpool shirt?

They hardly negotiated a 75% play clause into that deal considering he didn't start for that Belgian team he went on loan to last season. If they did, fair play as that kind of experience at a Bundesliga club would be great for his development.

Something happened with Sakho. Either its mundane like personal issue/injury related or he ****ed something up.

I'd rather hear something from the club than it being leaked to James Pearce to report it (if that is the case) because its unfair on the player........you can speculate wildly because its not often a player goes on tour with the club and is sent back after 5 days......

The fact that no-one is saying anything at LFC might point to it being nothing but the fact that James Pearce has said "Mamadou Sakho faces uncertain future at LFC after being sent home from tour of America by Jurgen Klopp" seems very serious, as Pearce is fairly well connected (i think?).

He played 9 times and only joined in Jan, season finished in early May. I think he'll do well getting a full season somewhere instead of being bounced around.

Do you mean DIY for Sakho?

Ah well, worst case scenario since he joined us 3 years ago we got 5 good seasons out of Sakho.

OwaynOTT

I'm sick of this buying British we are doing. Linked Henry fecker in the papers today.



Would much prefer if we went with this guy



Cheaper as he isn't British and is great at sucking up loose balls and also manoeuvres great, due to his low centre of gravity and being on wheels.

Lovren is starting the season as first choice, and that's by no means a bad thing

Agent Coulson

Well I heard he was sent back to Liverpool because they are falling behind on building of the new stand and Sakho is the only man to get them back on track.

MD1990

Nothing to the Sakho story at all. He just wanted to get back to the Liverpool Country.

And so much for Sakho lasting a 100 years in the Alcatraz. The bollocks couldn't last 10 days in the States!

Or it could be to do with the fact that its 6am and Klopp is stubbing out his last smoke of the night.

He was sent back on the same flight as Smith so I doubt it was in the middle of the night the decision was made. Plus someone at the club must have told James Pearce about it, if he can report on it I'm sure someone at the club could. Surely not everyone is over in the states.

Boom_Bap

I'd say Sahko is just being a nuisance, he's injured and messing about, probably interupting everything.
He may have also being flirting with signing up to a local construction firm in the US.

Knex*

Maybe the new stand needs painting.

Utopia Parkway

Hopefully the Sakho things is nothing more than he's injured and so hyper anyway at the best of times that he's a distraction to the other players. Klopp puts a lot of stock in pre-season and it's all about hard work. Maybe Sakho's goofing around was beginning to grate. Especially when he couldn't focus on training himself.

Indeed, hopefully it's Paul Gascoignesque

jcsoulinger

It seems this is what can be expected from Sakho, sporadic good performances on the pitch which get over hyped in exchange for being a clown off it. Im torn between cutting our losses on him and keeping him in the hope that he cops on and becomes more consistent, he seems to be injured quiet a bit as well which is also a worry.

This is not revisionist as I was never completely sold on him in the first place.

mormank

A few people are taking this moment to get a dig in on Sakho and that's to be expected as this thread is all about points scoring and "being right" these days.

Am I the only one who sees Sakho throwing a strop about NOT playing and it doesn't bother me? Even holding it against him in the race for club captain. I for one would much prefer to see a player throw a strop about NOT playing than throwing a strop when asked to play ala Danny Sturridge. In this age when players are more like pets than men I personally love to see a bit of passion and desire to play from one of our players. It makes a nice change tbh.

Hollister11

Looks like he is finished so.

Another CB is needed. Klopp will probably go back to Germany to look for a player, and I quite like Niklas Sule.

There's a difference between being annoyed/frustrated/even angry about not playing, and storming out of the stadium and going home.

Senior players are meant to lead by example - acting like a petulant child is not a good look for anyone.

One person is taking this moment to get a dig in at Daniel Sturridge, which I find bizarre.

There is a time and a place for acting the gob****e and hopefully sakho knows this now. Think people are going a bit overboard saying hes finished

Agent Coulson

Mario being all quiet and getting on with training who'd have thunk it and now has Sakho to join him.

Utopia Parkway

Apparently Sakho was late for the flight leaving for the US and then interrupted Klopp while he was doing an interview with the club website. The second doesn't really seem that big a deal as he was just having the craic when you see the footage but maybe he was already on thin ice after turning up late for the flight. I'm sure Klopp sees pre-season as a time for hard work. Not a lads holiday.

NukaCola

My only concern is James Pearce said Sakho's future is in doubt.......he's normally reliable.....
