All this happened after we signed him tbh.

True but the point stands. If klopp would be against that kinda behavior then he must be regretting signing Keita. I think/hope Keita will be a fantastic signing personally. But it just makes you wonder if klopp had no time for sakho, how will he deal with Keita. Let alone if we ever resigned Suarez.

Bobby went driving around Merseyside with a feed of lager on him, and we all got past it. It all depends on impact within the squad. Sakho was a distraction within the squad.

I wonder will/would he return as a new number 2 if Buvac officially leaves.



Very highly thought of in world football as a coach.

Saw this as well...i think Klopp is a fan

A single glass wouldn't have you blowing the bag, surely?

Iv no idea but I recall that's what he said , He also added that he was just distressing as his house was robbed the previous day

A single flute of bubbly is all anyone would want after having your house broken into, in fairness.

I'm not having a go at FunBob for it, btw, not great, but he took the penalty prescribed by law. I'm just not seeing H's characterisation of Naby as heading for a Sakho-type scenario

Agent Coulson

So have we signed anyone yet!


FSG out!

Only concern is if he sees it as a step backwards, having been a head-coach. I don't doubt that Klopp would take him back, and he'd be perfect as a #2, very vocal and methodical...

Another poster mentioned that Suarez wouldn't be a klopp type player because of his character. We did see that klopp had no time for sakho as he was disruptive. I am not saying Suarez is any way like that. He gets into trouble on the pitch but by all accounts is professional off the pitch.

My point was that I won't how klopp is feeling about Keita right now given the off field and on field actions This last 12 months. In terms of his comparison to sakho, I only meant that I wonder is that a treatment he might receive from klopp. That is if klopp is having any doubts about his behaviour.

I don't think he will judge him just yet. But it's not obvious.

We should have increased potential to get who we want given how we are progressing and considering we are an exciting team with an exciting coach that has history and is in with a shot winning the Champions League Final.

I'm inclined to think the whole drug thing had more to do with Jurgen letting Sakho go,
Is it possible it was taken out of his hands and the Americans decided he had to go ?

I think people play down Sakho's 'laddish' behaviour because we only saw a small sampling of it. He has had major issues everywhere he has gone with managers, the trend is there.

He was given the PSG captaincy at 21 in a bid to calm him down and keep his head straight. Within about two years, he was no longer a first team regular. He had a falling out at national level with Blanc and hasn't featured for them since a single appearance in 2016.

He had run ins with Ancelotti, Rodgers and Klopp and was driven out of the club. It wasn't his first warning here and the drug thing was probably just another strike against him.

This article goes through the lot: http://www.espn.co.uk/football/club/paris-saint-germain/160/blog/post/1852629/sakho-exit-from-psg-a-complicated-one?src=com. Very clear pattern to the behaviour.

I have absolutely no doubt that Klopp was 100% on board with dumping Sakho, even if someone else had a say in the decision too.

My favorite story of his is actually this season.

Crystal Palace in the middle of a relegation battle and awful injury crisis. They need Sakho.

But his wife just had a baby and she wanted a holiday, so he told the club he was injured. Club declared him fit. He keeps saying he is injured.

Goes on holidays anyways and snapchats it all.

Given that he was a regular for lazio last season I can't imagine there is any chance of that happening.

Not terribly worried... from what Naby's said, it sounds like he and Mane became quite good friends from when they crossed paths briefly at Salzburg. Naby talked about how Mane took him under his wing, and they've stayed in close contact, so I doubt there'll be any grave surprises about his personality/temperament.

I don't think it's these big stand out tabloid moments that give Klopp pause, it's just personality and temperament and squad dynamic.

I think it was just Sakho being Sakho. That wee video thing Sakho had on the pre-season tour in Alcatraz was quite revealing. Just being a bit of a dope, acting the big man, and when he tried to get Klopp involved he was shot down very quickly. Was sent home from the tour 3 days later.

Such a shame, as he's still a better CB than anyone at the club bar VVD.

looks decent, has a brain and a good strike on him.....

The boys on Off The Ball were staying Buffon and his agent/s having been dropping hints he wants to move to Liverpool in Italy.


They also don't think any of this is coming from the Liverpool side at all.



Amazing keeper in his day but no thanks.

Shame he doesn't want to move to Liverpool in England, though.

Ditto. Though he'd probably get sent off from the sidelines every time we're reffed by Michael 'garbage heart' Oliver.

Buffon is still, even with a slight drop off in performance this season, far far better than anything we currently have or had in a long long time at the club.

Could be the difference in us winning the league next season or not.

I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Hard to believe he'd jeopardise his Juvetus legacy with their fans by joining us though. Didn't all their fans turn the backs at Anfield for a Heysel remmorable the last time we played?

I'd love to see it, but can't see Buffon as a Juve legend willing to come to Liverpool, it would destroy his legacy at Juve

That really would be a great move by the club.

I can’t think of his name the underage manager before Pep.

Didn’t he go to a team in Brazil before coming back.

I think more than just coaching the kids, he coaches the coaches of the kids, building an ethos of whats important right from the youngest levels. Seems a good guy, highly rated and such.
