I'd have Masch back in a heartbeat even though he forced his way out in ugly fashion. I doubt he'd come back (or maybe not his wife!)

It's something that many don't agree with, but I'd have Masch in the top 10 footballers in the world. There is no flair or bells and whistles to what he does, he just does it really f*cking good.

So I would love to snap him up. Apparently it's nearly accross the line with Juve.

And that's why we're selling him. For not conforming to our Jordan uniformity in midfield.

I'm not sure I'd have him that high, but he's certainly one of the top players in his position.

He's a top footballer, naturally we'd be mad to turn him down if he wanted to come back but he'll join a top level CL club and rightly so. Juvé is the main link, but Bayern has been mentioned in the past too.

It's staggering how good some of our players were in 08/09 - Alonso, Masch, Torres, Gerrard...

A couple of years in Italy before returning to Argentina to finish his career would probably suit him better than the Premier League. He has mentioned the volume of games that he is playing at Barcelona has taken its toll on his body so he might not fancy a return to England.

He had agreed a deal to join Roma last summer but it didn't happen because the transfer ban meant Barcelona couldn't sign a replacement. Dani Alves is also supposed to be signing for Juventus.

I'd take Masch back in a heartbeat, but almost zero chance of it happening unfortunately. Better he goes to Juve than another English club though.

Gotze really isn't needed at all. Only 2 clubs in for him tells you something. Dortmund probably want him on the cheap to get one over on Bayern, He wouldn't make Dortmund's team with Mkhitaryan,Reus & Dembele taking the 3 spots behind Aubameyang. We are mainly interested because Klopp has a close relationship with him. We have Firmino & Coutinho both superior players. I hope we move on & look to sign a winger & a CM.

I'm sorry but I would have to question the part in bold. Coutinho has been wildly inconsistent for the best part of two seasons now and while Firminho had a very good second half of the season with us he was muck for the first few months with, sure he was played out of position, but he gives the ball away constantly during matches, wherever he is played.

Weird,

I dont even like that page, and it came up in my feed, unless one of my mates "liked" or commented on it...

They changed the logo since the screenshot also, seemingly after I asked was it "official" yet...

They are going to have do alot of overtime to get the main stand ready for August. Might have to play a few away games first.

They are working 24/7 now over the summer.

Need to have temporary changing facilities for 2 teams and the refs for 1st have the season.

The stand should be ready by the end of August but they also need a safety check so i wonder if that will be a friendly game at some stage

Hold on to your monocles gentlemen!

Liverpool have been given renewed hope in their pursuit of Mario Gotze after Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge suggested the midfielder may struggle for pitch time again next season.

The 23-year-old, who is entering the final 12 months of his contract, made just 11 Bundesliga starts this campaign under departing manager Pep Guardiola.

And despite the Germany international stressing earlier this week he was looking forward to life under new boss Carlo Ancelotti, Rummenigge has cast doubt over how much he will actually play.

“We made everything clear to Mario,” he told German newspaper Kicker.

“He knows what the club thinks and he knows what the future coach thinks.

“Mario has to consider for himself whether he wants to constantly get minutes.”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made Gotze one of his priority signings for this summer as he is keen to be reunited with a player who was so successful under him at Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus queried why the midfielder would leave to join Liverpool earlier this week, considering the Reds cannot offer Champions League football. His father has also discussed his son’s future.

Nothing remotely reliable. It isn't even on any of those clickbait sites, just looks like a load of individuals and wind-up merchants spamming.

Might still happen, but nothing doing yet I'd say.

Bild reporting that Breel Embolo is joining RB Leipzig for €20 million. Said they beat us and Wolfsburg to his signature, I recall that we were linked with him a few days/weeks ago.

Basel winger, looked incredibly fast any time I saw him.

I'd imagine most of these are for the people who don't make the main squad, so u-18's and some down the pecking order u-21's + Balotelli which is why they weren't given the publicity treatment. Probably Liverpool XI's, not Liverpool.

The Euros end on the 10th July, the friendlies in England are July 7th to 20th.

Aren't they bankrolled by Red Bull (hence the RB?) and just considered a complete 'plastic' club in a country that puts all sorts of emphasis on fan ownership and participation?

I remember reading about them before. Must be trying to splash the cash to jump up the table.

Somebody asked the question as to whether the club can cancel his contract if he got a lengthy ban. Of course in twitter sphere that became, the club is going to sack him.

The result of the disciplinary hearing won't be known until next week.

Jaysus lads, whatever went wrong with Viktor Fischer? About to sign for Middlesbrough for 4 million. Shows the power of the premiership financially but wasn't he supposedly to be the next big thing coming out of Ajax?

Two years of injury does that, from the next big thing to a cheap punt (Viktor Fischer, that is)

Sometimes you will see players form dip when they have kids and nappies to deal with, and their form returns when kids reach toddler age, I have been critical of Coutinho but I reckon he has another 15% untapped potential in terms of stamina and consistency and I hope Klopp is confident of extracting that in the next few years. I love watching him play when on form.

This has to be the worst example of clutching at straws I've ever seen. Are you actually being serious or is this a wind up?

Professional footballers aren't in any way comparable to average earners in terms of parenthood. They more often that not have a 'housewife' and their multi million annual income more than pays for any extra care required.

I'd be interested to see the other players who have experienced a significant drop of form as a result of being a father.

A complete and utter scutter attempt at an excuse in my opinion. Coutinho has never been consistent. Having a child is nothing to do with it.

jany before this news came out I posted on TIA that it may be worth while puting in a bid for him or alonso to add a bit of experience to what looks like will be a very young squad.
i made reference to gary mac signing for us, strackan signing for leeds all those years ago as examples

Don't think it's that big a stretch. Same thing happened to Allen imo.

They are comparable, all are human! Not making excuses for him, he has been indifferent but if Klopp feels he is worth keeping then I'm happy to see how that goes.

Fair enough, apologies if my post came across a bit thorny.

Coutinho on his day is a joy to watch. He has a tendency to go missing a little bit too often for my liking. Still wouldn't like to see him leave all the same.
