Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

Id have liked Cou back on loan but not Gini he only decided 6 months ago to leave us so he needs to suffer for longer,

Loved him as a player we need a younger Gini replacement ,

Mane penalty wins it 1-0 for Senegal in the 97th minute.

Pretty much makes it a certainty that Senegal will play in Last 16 round (it was very likely anyway)

Naby Lad into the round of 16 now at Guinea win 1-0.

Karius also been basicaly told to leave.

John Achterberg.

The club by all accounts are happy to let him go for nothing as well.

I know his form for the last year has been terrible but if delli alli is going cheap on a reasonable salary, maybe not......

He might be willing to take a pay cut

The Athletic running with Liverpool could be investigated for the game last week being postponed. Someone needs clicks

Testa undertaken by an independent panel.

Anyways, if there was any game to be messing around with tests for, it would be the actual league game away to Chelsea, which would have big implications on the title race. Not a league cup game.

Two man of the match performances

Where did Liverpool claim they had 10 false positives?

Anyways, there is no investigation.

The EFL are happy with the evidence submitted & the correct process was followed leading up to the league cup game. The testing is undertaken by an independent group. Not Klopp himself & not Liverpool.

This article mentions that there was 40 players & staff that recorded a positive test and I assume that is why the training was cancelled before eventually the training ground was closed.

It's mental that some people genuinely think that Liverpool went to trouble and expense of faking tests, finding a lab that would happily fake PCR results, cancel training, close down the training centre just to delay one league cup game by a week and forfeiting home advantage.

Instead of doing it for a title deciding game.

And to then for Klopp to reveal the entire ruse on live TV.

yes because Liverpool FC are in control of the actually results! you do realise all these are carried out by 3rd party companies?? Also why would Liverpool jump through such hoops to avoid a bloody league cup game against Arsenal of all teams?

Twitter getting panicky over this today....

I really hope this is sorted ASAP

If they sell our best player, I don't see FSG coming back from that one...

And I'm definitely not an "FSG out" "top red" like some of the online brigade

Cant imagine us dealing with Raiola but stranger things have happened

For 20-30 years we dealt with our best players hinting, angling, straight up forcing moves from the club through the press. Now we have the best player of them all, openly saying he wants to stay for the rest of his career and says he isn't making over the top demands, who knows what his demands are though but I havn't seen any completely over the top demands leaked to the media. 

I still think he will sign a contract but if FSG don't keep him, inside the stadium will become toxic I'm convinced of that. 

They're hardly seriously considering selling Salah? I cant see anything other than a contract been offered and he will either agree to it or not, then they will look to sell obviously.

Selling Salah makes absolutely no sense to them. No.1 he is completely irreplaceable in the current market and No.2 Klopp would be seriously put out by it. Klopp will have to get over it an move on if Salah doesn't agree terms which is fair enough but I don't think he would be too happy if its their intention to just cash in on him and screw the team Klopp has built.

FSG would be effectually giving the finger to both Klopp and the fans so I cant see it happening that way.

And Haaland would probably ask for the same amount as Salah.

The club could have a list of targets in mind that would nearly fix a lot of the problems the squad has - which does make sense from a business point of view. And with Klopp leaving, he would get time with the new crop of players to get them playing in a way he likes. An easier transition for the next manager perhaps.

If Salah wants more than the club can afford to pay how exactly would that be FSG giving two fingers to anybody least of all Klopp?

Klopp has seen top players leave before, he's a pragmatic guy and will get on with it. He's not a prima donna, he lives in the real world. No player, not even Salah, is bigger than the club and in 3-4 years there's a good chance he'll be past it and effectively gone as the player we now rely on so much anyway.

If FSG sell Salah and don't re-invest the cash then I could see Klopp being pi$$ed off but nothing in FSG's ownership to date suggests they'll do that.

Liverpool has never been a club to indulge "starmen" or prima-donnas. Salah wants 400 grand a week! That's four times the average weekly wage at the club. I'd tell him to get lost.

Romano is reporting Coman is signing a new contract at Munich and they won't be looking to sign Raphinha.

Raphinha should be a target on and in the summer if that move has fallen through.

I'd rather let Salah leave on a free in 18 months time rather than sell him in 6 or 12.

Obviously new contract trumps both.
