Any talk of Tierney at Celtic? Looks a good left back in what I've seen of him.

I don't watch the Scottish football but co-incidentally, a lad in work does and was raving about Tierney and is convinced he's the real deal and will go to the premiership soon.

Is he that good?

Looks a talented player, good going forward, solid in defence. Probably needs to bulk up a bit though.

Summer 2018: Liverpool told they will have to pay £45m for Southampton's Kieran Tierney

Seen Tierney a bit. Neat & tidy but I don't think he is ready for a top 10 PL club so certaintly not a player we should be signing for a big fee. SPL is League 1 level.

If we really want a top quality LB we should go for Mendy. Emerson at Roma is another very good LB as well.

Sign him and loan him out? Saves another van Dijk situation.

Mendy has some cross on him all right, would be on board with that signing. Reckon he would be expensive though.

In fairness, Celtic play at high at higher level, Champion's League etc.

They can have good players , van Dijk was signed from there that we'd love to see at the club.

Haven't won at Anfield since April 1st. Middlesbrough have drawn more away games than anyone, it's what they do. Their draws at home and away have been the backbone of their season, it has given them a lot of points, not enough in the end but a fighting chance that they lost of course in the end.
Will they forget their approach to game and Sunday and not play 28 men behind they ball, doubt it.
Had we just beating Palace we'd be done with the race.

It's grand, lads. Everton will do us a favour v Arsenal.

Everton have nothing to play for

Liverpool will draw and Arsenal will draw thus ending the most mediocre CL qualifying campaign in recent years.

Well feck Origi and getting the 4th, had Sturridge and 3-0 scorecast at 40/1. However that was a humungous 3 points to get, delighted.

Anyone else having reservations about the ghostly spectre of Stewart Downing looming over Anfield this Sunday... no league goals or assists playing for us... knowing us it'd be a nice way to tie up the season!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Well they conceded 11 goals in their last 3 away games. Thrashed by Chelsea, Bournemouth and Hull. Thats when they actually had to win points.

No disrespect to Palace, but if they are willing to pay £30m for Sakho, then Liverpool spending £50m on van Dijk does not seem that crazy.

Off the top of my head he scored against Spurs and provided an assist for Sturridge against Norwich(?)

Sakho is well worth £30m in todays market. Well worth it. Id actually prefer to keep Sakho then buy Van Dijk.

Probably a chance behind the scenes Boro have been given some sort of financial incentive to throw the game at the weekend.

So we'd have Sakho, van Dijk, Matip and Lovren?? We'd be stacked at CB, which is a plus! But an awful waste of 50 million without getting the 30 million from the sakho sale!

Did he?? Must have completely blanked that from my mind. I only remember his first season where he did f*ck all.. Seriously. I cant remember his second season.

Probably better off.

I thought he wrote 'then' instead of 'than' by mistake. I thought he preferred Sakho over Van Dijk?

Are you suggesting "throw" it as in underperform?

Well, no.

It would be Sakho, Matip, Lovren.

One of my favourite players to ever pull on a Liverpool shirt. Don't care that his trophy haul with us wasn't bigger, he was an absolute legend for the club and I'm sure the same will be said of him at Feyenoord.

Dank je Dirk.

That's not the point. The idea that Palace are willing to spend £30m on a centre back shows how much money is around and £50m for van Dijk is not that muc.

Also, van Dijk is a much better player than Sakho, and he will go to City, Chelsea or Utd.

Think we will miss out but he is top class.

We will have to agree to disagree.

So Sakho is rejected by Klopp and most likely signed by Crystal Palace who were almost relegated.

Whilst van Dijk is on the radar of the top clubs, most likely going to the champions Chelsea, and you still think Sakho is better?

Selfless player, always gave his all. He was a big game player for us too.

I'll fondly remember his combined 3 yard hat trick at anfield against United.

As a club, we have a knack of players scoring weird hat-tricks come to think of it. Gerrard got the set piece hat-trick against Villa in 2009, and Suarez scored a hat-trick of half-volleys against Norwich in 2013.

A pointless but funny little nugget of history.

Played his last match last Sunday because of Vilhena's suspension.
He scored a hat trick that won Feyenoord the league, breaking the 100 goals for Feyenoord at the same time.

An end of an carreer you can only dream of.

It'll be Origi's 50th league game for Liverpool already, if/when he plays on Sunday. That's good going for a player his age.

At times I think his ceiling is more Heskey than it is a more natural goal scorer, but he's still only 22. So despite frustrating the **** outta me with his recent performances, its still possibly that we have a very good player on our hands.

Carlsberg don't do ends to football careers...but if they did ^^^^^

So happy for him. Was never the most talented player in our team but nobody ever outworked or outfought him.

Molby's hat trick of penalties.

Harry Palmr

Couldn't trap bag of cement, more shins than a Tokyo phone book but ran to the last whistle, scored some big goals including two hat-tricks which will go down in Liverpool and Feyenoord legend and clearly a very good fella.

Such a shame Gerrard hit the post with his 3rd penalty vs Utd a couple of years ago.

So mad that these are pretty close to the figures for Carroll and Torres only a few years ago, which were record breaking, earth shattering transfers. And now they're what centre-backs cost.
