Liverpool

This is the difference a world class player brings to the team. He’s the start and end of everything for them.

So damn clinical. Bastard.

I wonder if there are any Liverpool supporters that would take Klopp back?

A Sean promise is a real promise

With their spectacular form on the field, its gone a bit under the radar that they have seemingly failed to sign any of their three upcoming Bosman candidates prior to January 1. Surely nothing will get done now in the festive season.

I think Salah will leave. Saudi is probably offering something ridiculous like 200m per year for 4-5 years while Liverpool is likely offering a one or two year contract at 400k per week so like 20m per year. Its just not remotely in the same ballpark and while some kind of Saudi offer will likely be there in a couple years, it may not be near the same Ronaldo-esque level if Salah falls off or suffers a major injury.

I also think TAA would have signed a new deal already if he was intent on staying. Real Madrid will likely offer him a much bigger wage than Liverpool is wiling to do. Its hard to think of other players in their prime who ran their contracts down to the point they could receive pre-contracts from other clubs, had bigger offers from elsewhere, and then resigned with their original club for less money.

I have a feeling VVD will stay. He won’t have such big offers from elsewhere and he seems to genuinely love the club.

Was Klopp a sacrificial lamb for good luck or something? Apart from the seasonal Alisson injury they’ve been fairly lucky with their key players.

Best you got really is Jota and Elliott but I don’t think they’re necessarily key players, and even they’ve been back for a while now.

Hope they fail hard.

Another blow for Liverpool.

He didn’t confirm shit, basically said it looks like it because there’s no progress on the deal and they have to wait and see what happens.

I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to confirm something like that so far in advance. It can have no positives and potentially it can unsettle a team.

that explains the nature of his form this campaign. He’s been in beast mode since the start.

Yes. That sounds ideal.

I agree that the tweet is deceptive (unsurprisingly) and that he didn’t confirm anything.

He definitely didn’t sound like he was optimistic about it though. Pretty much sounded like a guy who was resigned to leaving because Liverpool wasn’t offering anywhere near enough for him to stay.

He probably has like a 200m per year from Saudi so…

Reminds me of when Ferguson did it and ended up staying another ten years because we won the league that season.

Salah will sign a new deal

He’s just applying more pressure

Hope it has the same effect as Klopp declaring his retirement.

He certainly sounds like someone who wants to continue. You don’t bang that drum if that isn’t the case.
I do wonder where Virgil stands. At one point he wasn’t shying away from addressing it but that’s changed since this season started.

VVD best option is staying at Liverpool unless Madrid switch their focus to him for a year or two but that doesn’t feel like a good fit.

Doesn’t strike me as a guy rushing off to Saudi for the big bucks.

He’d be a nice pick-up from Madrid.
Madrid coincidentally need players in all of their positions. I joked about it before but it will be hilarious if Madrid got all 3 of them.
