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

It's like employees in the week before their annual appraisal where I work.

Shortly afterwards it'll be back to normal.. letting off fireworks in the jacks and getting stopped with sacks of money in the car.. and thats just the staff in here.

With the Chinese window shut I hope we can get someone to take him off our hands.

Coutiniho firminio and sturridge just put up a video online asking where is mama ?

I reckon its a nothing story

Agent Coulson

Sakho sent home to recover now is the story as he couldn't train.

Gomez has the same injury and cant train.......Lucas is injured and presumably cant train either, both are still in the States?......why bring him on tour and send him back 5 days later? Seems strange but I'd be happy if that was the case.

He is wired to the moon and probably distracting the other players.

Kimbot

Maybe with the lighter options at CB Klopp decided to send him home to work in melwood on getting back to business sooner rather than later. Lucas and Co. still been over in the states may have roles to play on the tour - i.e. promo etc that sakho might not have had to do either.

Stories breaking from the US in the morning always need that pinch of salt, until the characters have woken up and had a chance to comment on the sh1t-storm anyway..

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

Who said he was acting the gob****e? Is this all based on his 'tour of Alcatraz' video?

Lot of conclusions being jumped on here. For all we know he might have been sent back for more specialised treatment at Melwood to speed up his rehab.

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.

Well while that is true I know that plenty of players in ours and many other squads couldn't give a toss about whether or not they play for their respective teams each week and all I'm saying is I like to see that kind of passion and desire to play. How he expressed it is not the most mature method, I agree, but I would still rather that than the placid type ala almost every other player in our squad and many others these days.

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

Actually no I'm not. I love Sturridge and think he is easily one of the top 5 strikers in the League. I used his name as an easy and extreme example to help illustrate my point, that's all.

Je_suis_Jean wrote: »

Fixed that for ya!!

Ugh! As I already explained I wasn't having a dig at Sturridge. I was merely using the extreme example of Sturridge last season to help illustrate my point about players not wanting to play, or not caring. I'm sure it happens all the time with many players. I merely used Sturridge as if I had used anyone else there would have been endless debate about THAT players commitment and desire which I was trying to avoid as that was not the point of my post. Instead, this nonsense.... :rolleyes::mad:

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?

That will be a brilliant loan if it happens (he's actually doing a weeks trial first) and just the type that can get him a work visa.

Already making his mark

The photos are gas. Garcia is having a great time and is all smiles but Fowler is down to serious business!

Seen there is a contract thing where he needs to play 75% of games if fit.

That's the rule for all loans, that said it might only apply to British loans, I'd be surprised if Allan was going to get that kind of guaranteed time at Herta Berlin

In other news the father of Portuguese star João Mário says Liverpool made an offer of £33m (rejected) but it's hard to know when. Maybe he was sought before Wijnaldum was bought. Inter also made an offer which was rejected.

J Mysterio

Joao Mario looks a really good player.

He was unreal. Could score any type of goal. Complete forward. I was at that game in the gif also, cracker of a Merseyside Derby in 1999 that we won 3-2, God got 2 of them.

I loved Fowler when I was young. When I was 8 i was doing that celebration on the school yard playing football not having a clue what it meant.

That game was against Everton. The celebration was aimed at the Toffee assholes spreading rumours about Robbie and a snow habit..

Going by last year, he was the only vocal leader when on the pitch, imo. Maybe the likes of Milner and Lovren are vocal in the dressing room but Sakho was the biggest leader figure on the pitch.

Just my opinion.

I genuinely don't know how people can tell how vocal players are from watching games on TV.

He may be a messer off the pitch but on it he's nothing but passionate, he doesn't shy away from a challenge and always gives it his all.

There seems to be something wrong with this post I can't seem to find the attempt to make it a Haiku.

Fowler was the reason I started supporting liverpool as a young lad, I grew up in a staunch united house and family.
What a player he was you will struggle to find a more natural finisher.
Overused and burnt out at an early age though..shame.

The attitude back then & still among some English players/media is that burnout is in your head & if your young you can play as much as you want. Completely stupid attitude & you have Michael Owen who's career was destroyed by overplaying saying he has never suffered from burnout lol.

Fromvert

By the time Fowler was 22 he had played 188 games for Liverpool and had scored 116 goals. Completely over used because he was so ****ing good. You can only imagine what he'd cost in today's transfer market at 22 years old.

Absolutely. Even look at them asking Klopp if Woodburn would be in his plans for this season, Klopp just said "Of course not he's only 16, he will go back to hiding again and we will see him next summer"

Although Fowler is a bit of a tragic case as he really only had 4 seasons at his pinnacle before he declined due to injuries, he could of been our greatest ever striker if he was managed correctly. He played way too much football in his first few years.

Fowler, Owen, Rooney all too much too young. You will probably be able to add Harry Kane to that list too the lad is playing way too much.

Look at Messi, he didn't become a nailed on starter till he was like 20, that is managing a young talent correctly.

Owen made his debut when 17 and scored I think away to Wimbledon. Following season he was first choice!

Harry Kane will be grand...he barely played any games until he was 21 (he turns 23 in 2 days). He's playing too much for Spurs at the moment, but at least he had the chance to develop physically before the heavy run of games.

I think it's these high numbers of games while you're still growing and developing that really causes problems down the line.

For club and country too, which made it even worse. No break at all.

If we had a Fowler or Owen at that age again now scoring that amount of goals how many here would be happy to see them benched and not playing regularly because of their young age.

We had that debate here not long ago when Sterling was coming through. Was a fairly split opinion on it, some wanting him to be managed very carefully, others saying he was young and fit enough to keep playing.

Peter Schmeichel who was probably the best goalkeeper of the 90's constantly said he was the only player he hated to play against. Always thought that was a high compliment considering the calibre of player he would have come up against.
