I don't think anyone disputes that.

As a Liverpool fan I don't care about Egypt. I'm hoping they get knocked out early with Salah avoiding injury.

Egypt don't exactly try to play to Salah's strengths, do they.

Far too slow getting him the ball.

rgace

I hope he does well, getting out of the group just means an extra week or two which I doubt will make any difference to his energy levels by the time the season starts.

I think if a player misses out on the build up games and the world cup itself that extra rest could help him hit the ground running in the premier league but once they are at the world cup any damage is probably already done.

I never quite get this attitude tbh.

Have always wanted my favourite players to do play and do well for their country. Hasn't exactly affected the German or Spanish players over the past few years.

Harry Palmr

Egypt need thier Firmino.

Cheryshev was linked three or four years ago looks a tidy player.

shamrock55

I'd love to see Salah stay in the comp as long as he can,his country is very important to him and he deserves it after what happened to him in cl final

Doesn't bother me tbh. I just want Liverpool players to avoid injury and be fresh for August.

Salah coming home early.

Yep, he’ll be home early alright.

martingriff

At least Salah can now rest and make sure he is fit for the new season

Harry Palmr

Sign Cheryshev!

Sofa Spud

Well, that's gotta be it now for Mo's WC hopes. Feel for him. sh!tty end to a great season, but that's them apples. Wonder how much of a holiday does he get from 'Pool? If everyone else is back on the 2nd, does he get another week or two?

noodler

Feel terrible for him.

Work your ass off to get back and have to watch that ineptitude at the back.

I remember him from Basel. Lovely smile. No idea if he's a good keeper!

He is the keeper of the national team too. Played well enough gainst Brazil.

Agent Coulson

Mo gets his World Cup goal

Sofa Spud

nice one!! At least he gets his WC goal

ShamoBuc

Some solace in getting a goal. Hope he can finish it off the next day with another one.

Against Saudi Arabia, you’d fancy him to get at least 1 or 2.

Hopefully Eygpt don't play him with his shoulder not right yet.

He saw plenty ineptitude at the back at LFC unfortunately earlier this season.

Agent Coulson

Pre season starts on July 2nd for all players except those at the World Cup.

5 players have stayed at Melwood since the season ended working in recovering from injury Matip, Gomez, Ox, Brewster & Allan.

What is the story with Allan for this season, does he have to be loaned out again ?

Still wont have enough points for a UK work permit, has to go on loan again

Ye he has to go back out on loan again next season.

Crazy to think we signed him in 2015 and he is still ineligible for a work permit.

Agreed. A goal and a win would be a nice way to finish. He's had a rough month and hopefully a well earned few weeks off now will allow him to clear his head, recover from the shoulder injury and come back firing.

I'd be happy for him to miss the first week of the league season for an extra week off tbh. It's been a highly emotional month for him.

Bild in Germany are reporting we are going for Yann Sommer as the new keeper.

Wonder what Didi would think of that..."you have to prove yourself a a world class goalkeeper before you can have a food blog"

Klopp tried signing him when he was at Dortmund if I am not mistaken and ended up getting Mitch Langerick instead.



Having seen him regularly I personally wouldnt see him as being any better than what we have and there are definately better keepers in the bundesliga.

D'Echo look at our midfield options with Keita and Fabinho in the side. Versatility is a plus, though I don't see us reverting to 4-4-2, I must say.

Gerrard and Rangers looking to sign the Girlfriend beater.

He was released?

Harry Palmr

Yes along with five Academy players

Girlfriend beater moving to Glasgow the home of Tennant's, recipe for disaster!

He will fit in and feel at home.....

I'm sure they would have kept him if he was in the first team

Is there anything to be said for a transfer rumour?

How does the work permit system work for footballers? Does some civil servant in the Home Office be watching them playing and saying "nah, he is not as good as our english lads"

Its a points system, the better the league and the better the side does the more points are accrued - getting a loan to an euro cup level side in a big league is best.

I'm gonna be sad when Ings goes but its inevitable really. I'd love to see how he'd have done here had he been fit for his entire spell here.

Palace makes sense. Burnley had been rumoured but it seems they are going back in for Jay Rodriguez. Newcastle might be a decent shout too.

Pity Danny didn’t get a proper craic of the whip but we need to get him and sturridge out the door this summer. Brewster should expect a few run Coca Cola cup and fa cup and subs appearances when we are 3-0 up.
I’d sell lalanna so Woodburn can get more minutes.
Moreno, mignolet need to be out the door.

Watching Iran must be like watching another team in red all season

Agent Coulson

It's being reported in Spain that Kovacic has asked to leave Madrid.


Now if true I really hope we try to get him.

Probably should be all over this. He hasn't come on as expected but still very young.

Tough one though... to be honest if we're bringing someone in for that position ahead of our current youth guys, it should be for their proven goalscoring. And Meyer has a fairly poor record in front of goal.

Would rather we go for more of a sure-thing in attack.

Rubens Loftus-Cheek aggitating for more game time or he'll leave is widely reported.

Was just about to post a link to this.

“That’s the key for me next season regarding where I end up: I want to play,” he said. “I want to play as much as I can. And even this past season I didn’t play as much as I would have liked, because of the injuries and stuff, so I still feel I need a proper season of playing, wherever it is.

“I do understand Chelsea are a big club and there is always pressure on managers to win games and trophies. So I understand they might not be willing to take a chance on someone at a bigger club.

“Ever since I was in the Chelsea academy, I’ve had that awareness that people were saying I would be the first one to break through since John Terry. I believed I could but the opportunities didn’t quite come for me. It’s hard to keep training at your best but I made sure I did for when the time came, or when I did get opportunities like at Palace. We’ll see what happens. I’m confident in my ability and that I can do well, wherever it is. But I’m not thinking about whether I’m going to play at Chelsea right now. I’m only focused on the tournament.”

He wouldn't come cheap but is a superbly talented footballer from what I have seen. Worth a shot if some of our other targets aren't available?

rob316

He's 23 now, its really now or never for him to breakthrough, always been a fan. I doubt Chelsea would do any business with us though.
