closer to the greatest club in the world and you cannot

manage a club closer to Liverpool than Everton.

You could be right cos I don't understand the logic of BM so keen on getting rid of Goetze. First choice for his country and cant even get into the BM squad is illogical to me.
Different manager sees players differently I guess. Low might find him fitting his German team but Pep and Ancelotti might not see him as good a fit to their teams at Bayern.

I can accept different Mgrs disagreeing on which players fit their plans but to discard him totally I find it strange and makes me believe it could be more than meets the eye. Personally I think�it's a club decision rather than the individual Mgr's.

Beskitas Sporting director Erdal Torunogullari says Besiktas would rather keep Mario Gomez than sign Mario Balotelli.Mino Raiola is confident Balotelli will sign for Besiktas, after offering the striker to the Turkish club. [Calciomercato]
Erdal �We know Raiola well. He�s even said Balotelli will go to Besiktas, but it�s not like that. We�re not interested, our priority is to hold on to Mario Gomez. This month will be decisive, everything depends on him (Gomez). Only then will we decide what to do."

Could be a number of reasons. Maybe both Wanyama and Clyne have been good boys, didnt caused Southampton any trouble, thats why Southampton asked for reasonable transfer fees. Even Lambert's fee also reasonable coz Lambert is not only a good boy but contributed a lot to Southampton's success.�

Lallana and Mane are more like Southampton doesnt want to sell them. So it will only take a huge fee to entice Southampton to sell.�

Mane definitely the case. As long as Klopp thinks that he is worth �30m, so be it then.

I believe all Pool fans feel the same but Allen doesn't want to be a squad player. At Swansea, he probably will be a regular starter. Also hearing his missus wants to return to be closer to her family as well.

Don't really like Henderson. Not a great leader and not inspirational.Which club wants to buy him, bro?
Milner/Emre Can/Joe Allen...much better...
wow, very good deal if true

Ah Seng will surely sell

Jose Mourinho has targeted Aaron Ramsey as a contingency plan should Manchester United not be able to persuade Borussia Dortmund to part with Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
�
The Sun reports that the former Chelsea boss is interested in the Wales international and would need to pay �50 million to persuade the Gunners to sell.
�
Ramsey, 25, almost joined the Red Devils after leaving Cardiff, but he opted to join the Londoners instead. Now Mourinho has earmarked the Welshman as his new Frank Lampard as he begins life at Old Trafford.
�
aft his good showings towards the end of the season n also in the euros, i might b gd if pool keep him. in this form, i rate him higher than hendo. will b a useful squad player.
Some players need a run of games to show their worth. Starting n stopping upsets rhythm n sometimes confidence as well. Joe Allen is one of these kind of players n that's why some of them prefer to leave even for a lower placed team so as to play more regularly n prove themselves. Think Benteke is another one but the stakes are high in EPL so can't afford this kind of luxury I'm afraid.

I think we can all be happy to see loyalty in football. Don't think is Arsenal not attractive enough but rather, he prefers to stay loyal.
Told to come back again next summer.

Respect for Vardy just went up a notchvardy rejected arsenal n staying at leicester.
Wow. Super big golden handshake.
Emery to take over apparently
I don see it as much of a loyalty. More likely cos leicester upped his salary to match ars offer. If lei hadnt done that, i tink he would hv gone. Its like, my company offering me a big salary, n im already comfortable in the current plc, y move?Respect for Vardy just went up a notch
No loss for blanc. I will b glad to b sacked if my severance package is that big.
For these guys, it's not a matter of pay but more of professional pride cos being sacked is a black mark in your resume but admittedly almost all football managers have been sacked at least once even JM n of course the big severance pay helps to cushion this blow.

This is the main point here, not loyalty, not stepdown, not whateva, it all boils down to money. there will be no smoke without fire.

To a certain extent I do agree with u that the upping of pay has more say than his loyalty but then again not really wrong to say he has stayed loyal to Leicester.
Besides loyalty n money, other factors which helped Vardy decide on staying could be more playing time, team style suited to his strengths, familiarity, being a big fish at Leicester compared to being amongst similar or bigger fishes at Arsenal etc. Like anyone deciding on a new job, I'm sure he weighed the pros n cons before deciding n I won't fault him either way he chooses.
Should he continue to prosper at Leicester, he would look back later to say he made the right choice but on the flip side, if Arsenal go on to bigger things as expected next season, he could rue not being part of the Gunners set up but aren't we all wiser on hindsight?
This is the main point here, not loyalty, not stepdown, not whateva, it all boils down to money. there will be no smoke without fire.
Nothing wrong to move for money as afterall he is a professional n more so for Vardy who has only reap his rewards at such a late stage of his career. What pisses off most fans is the way some players go about it like forcing a move, publicly denouncing his club etc. Vardy has done none of this so hypothetically, I'm sure if he had chosen to move to Arsenal, the Leicester fans whilst admittedly disappointed, would not have begrudge him his move to a bigger club after all.
For sure, Leicester upped his salary. But he would gotten a similar wage increase anyway, if not more, if he goes to another club.I don see it as much of a loyalty.

i dont tink it affects much for their reputation if they get fired. so many good managers hv gotten the sack, n yet they still received offers fm big clubs. cos for managers, being sacked has many reasons, not only bcos they r not good. so while not affecting his reputation n at the same time getting the huge payout, its really no big loss for blanc.
For sure, Leicester upped his salary. But he would gotten a similar wage increase anyway, if not more, if he goes to another club.
thats y i say...due to leicester increasing his salary that he decided to stay. sure he will get more or less the same at arsenal. but y move to uncertainty when he is secured at current place.�

of course, certainty and stability are compelling factors and that is on the assumption Vardy is not a risk-taker and rather be assured of a place in the starting line-up.

I think it is not an issue for EPL teams to participate in UCL& UEL, as teams from Russia and those non EU country had been competing in UCL & UEL. These 2 tournaments are for all European countries and not just countries from EUROPEAN UNION.
Will English clubs suffers if Britain put out of Euro ?

There will be no effect to EPL clubs as far as UCL n UEL is concerned. Some European countries who are not in EU also take part so status quo.
As far as players r concerned, no more free pass for players from EU countries to ply their trade in EPL. Instead they will follow players coming from rest of the world like South America where they have a criteria to assess whether work permit will be granted.
Eg Kante n Payet will need a work permit this summer unlike last and they might not even get it based on their lack of International caps last Year. But of course those already plying their trade here with contracts will not be told to leave but they may need to get a work permit when their contract expires.
The Brits had voted to leave the EU, so what will happen to those players from the EU in EPL? They will need work permit to play in Uk?
possible transfers may have to be put on hold
applications for work permits and appeals will cost clubs more money.
�
british players in other EU countries, like gareth bale, will require work permits.

Well said bro, agreed! The positive out of this Brexit is that likely English youths will get more chances n this def bodes well for the England National Team but less EU players will get a chance to ply their trade in EPL n we will unlikely see unknowns like Payet n Kante being unearthed.

one immediate impact of Brexit is the devaluation of the pound - this is will affect EPL's club's spending power. �

Each player that a EPL club wants to buy from an EU club just got more expensive by around 7% �this morning alone.�

More English youths given a chance would likely mean some gems being uncovered as they will have more playing time unlike the present situation. The foreign players improving the English I don't quite agree cos the foreign players are blocking the English players route so how to improve them? Abit like how the China players blocking our locals in TT!
not sure about loyalty if leicester did not match the pay arsenal is offering
Leicester rewarding him for what he is worth and deserved and he repaid the club with his loyalty by staying.
Of course, if Leicester refused to match, there might not even be a question of him not being loyal. Many agreed here that he should move as it is his last chance to join a big club.

Many didn't realise that even though the personnel within the transfer committee are around, the way they operate is different now. BR was part of the committee with veto rights but Klopp has the transfer committee working for him.
Frankly, the only one whom the TC has strong recommendation in is Karius. Hunter and Fallows know Karius since Man City days. Other than that, Buvac recommended Grujic, Klopp personally wanted Matip and Zielinski, Wagner recommended Chilwell.
Mane when he was in RB Salzburg was already wanted by Klopp when he was BVB. Though not first choice, it is no surprise that Klopp targeting him after losing Dembele.
Thus, no idea why some sections of Pool fans are abusing the TC over the targets. If they are unhappy, why not just call for Klopp to be sacked then.
Personally, I do not believe in condemning a player before he even started kicking the ball for his new club.

I like Mane. Skilful, quick n dares to take on defenders. Last year Man U were rumoured to want him n the United fans were up in arms cos they had bigger targets lined up, they were also questioning Martial when he joined. Must admit I also scratching my head on Martial but I always believe to give players a chance esp since the Mgr wants him so totally agree with u.
As i always say, back the Mgr up but it's also a fact of buying players that some won't turn out right for various reasons but that should not deter a club as even the best Mgrs get it wrong sometimes. Fergie with Bebe, JM selling de Bruyne n Lukaku n many more.
The Polish Zielinski doesn't seem impressive so far at Euros but will Hv to trust Klopp on this. One more chance to see him Tonite!

South American team to win WC is not so easy, basically their defense is not that good. When Brazil last won, in fact whenever they won, it was the attack/midfield that stood out. Same with Argentina too.
�
With a good attack, they could hope to beat/outscore opponents, especially European ones.
�
Now that some European countries are quite good at attack, it is easier for the South American defense to be breached. With a goalie that is a reserve at Man U plus defenders like Rojo, Funes Mori, Otemendi (all of whom did not look top tier in EPL), it will not be easy for Argentina to win WC.

Doyle writes that Mane was heavily scouted by the club, but Rodgers choose to ignore the staffs� advice and was thus left with little wriggle room when the transfer committee decided to take a �16 million gamble on Italian misfit Mario Balotelli.
�
Doyle also reports that Mane is a player whom Klopp was extremely interested in during his time at Dortmund.
�
Klopp watched the player developed at Red Bull�Salzburg and wanted to bring him to Germany, but the deal never materialised.
�
�
We could have had Mane for 12m but got Bolotelli for 16 instead.
�
Him again.
�
And what a chip that was!This one seems to have leg
You got a point put apparently that little chip against DDG is worth £20m alone. Mane I don't think is capable of that.
Balotelli was bought to showcase best man's coaching abilityWe could have had Mane for 12m but got Bolotelli for 16 instead.
Him again.
And to confirm his status as the best man-manager in world football
Do you know who did BR go for in favour of Mane who was recommended by the committee?We could have had Mane for 12m but got Bolotelli for 16 instead.
Him again.
Lallana.
Ended up, Southampton signed Mane as the replacement and now we sign the replacement as well.

Bad news for Spurs. Good news for Everton
Finally unveiled. The team Batshuayi will be joining is Chelsea. �40 million euros. 5-year contract.
Bad news for Spurs. Good news for Everton
Huh? Out of the blue this one cos I thought Palace had their bid accepted but Spurs set to gate crash?
Chelsea not mentioned at all previously. Thought the Blues were targeting Morata n possibly Lukaku?
Don't think this is a fair comment. He says EPL is a Skoda being packaged as a Lambo
You picked my mind on why the 3 behind, they are offering different attacking dimension that will create more scoring opportunity. More importantly on Mane, he provides the speed on transition that is agonisingly lacking from last season.
Origi and Ings can step in for Sturridge when needed. Firmino and Mane are other options. We might move for another striker if both Benteke and Balotelli are off the books. But I don't think it is a priority.
I know the limitation on Moreno but I have a feeling Klopp likes him. Not as a person of course but what he offers offensively. Coutinho is always cutting in, that's why Klopp want a LB that will push up to provide width. Heard many times, people keep complaining Moreno is out of position when we are defending a counter. But my question is, how are we going to expect him to be supporting the attack and be back to defend? Unless he is Flash or he has a twin. So whoever Klopp sign as LB, if he is to support on the wing, the system must be in place for a DM or the LCB to cover the hole left behind due to tactical requirement of the LB.
As for the partner for Can, as mentioned in my reply to bro Spring, that's the final key position for Klopp to address. He wants Dahoud.
I hair stood on ends when I saw in a game before he got injured where Danny Ings almost scored, and immediately ran almost the whole field to make a beautiful last ditch tackle on an opponent who counterattack very quickly!
He will be a great potential if he stays away from injury.
Coutinho, Firmino, Mane, the hardworking and multi-talented Milner and Lallana can rotate behind any of them. (Not sure if any of these guys have departed).
My choice of the 2 behind is firmly Emre Can and Joe Allen.
no morata please
�
�
I agree it may not be the best league..... but it is confirm the most exciting.........
�
almost 40m... and you consider pool as not one of the rich clubs?
�
I think he meant world class club for world class players ba..
Right now there is only a few... Baca, RM, BM, Manu....
Fooblacki agree that 4-2-3-1 suits pool much better too. Pool played their best football last season using this formation. If sturridge is fit, then we are looking at quite a formidable front line that can match almost any other team in the EPL. Coutinho with the technical passes and long shots, Firmino with the guile and goals, Sane with raw pace, dribbles...
The problem is once Sturridge is injured which more likely than not, we are then looking at Origi or moving Firmino into the front striker role. The likes of lallana and milner will then fill the forward position.
Emre Can looks the confirmed central midfielder role. so, Klopp will make a choice between henderson, Gruijic, Zelinski or even Allen to play besides Can. I am not sure whether we need another CM/DM unless we start offloading at least 2 midfielders.. which could well be Klopp's plan.
we still need a LB for sure. Moreno can't defend and always a liability during tight games..
Otherwise, the rest of the squad looks like settled, especially that we wont need a big squad since no euro football... toppings on the cake would be a WC striker, another CB (esp if Sakho's situation remains unclear)...
Agree on your comments.
I like Moreno. DMs should help to cover, like what Joe Allen and Emre Can always does!
Btw, FooBlack and Osprey, your comments would be great if posted in Liverpool with Kopp thread.
FYI, my son supports Liverpool. I'm a Chelsea man.
Doesn't seem to have a Chelsea thread..
Gone are the days where signings like klinsmann. Zola. Bergkamp liao...If I am to be brutally honest, there is the reason why we are always looking at the same targets as Saints and Spurs. we are targeting at the same tier players that is within reach. World class players will be snapped up by rich clubs. We can only aim for those who are about to break into that world class status. Suarez is the successful example. So, naturally, if the scouts at those clubs are doing their job well and not frauds, the assessments and recommendation will more or less be the same.
As for Mane, I am assuming that Klopp will be going for his pet formation 4-2-3-1. Striker sorted. I will have Coutinho, Firmino and Mane as the 3 behind. That's how I will use him primarily. 2nd better option, is to play him as a 2nd striker in a 4-4-2 (flat or diamond).
Klopp's priority positions are mainly sorted barring one. The midfield controller.
Grujic and Zielinski are both not in that mould. Only Dahoud.
Nowadays true world class stars cost more than many bombs plus with the champions league lure. No more such transfers liao.
Unless that world class star actually openly declares its pool or nothing. I dun play for the money
a Lukaku type will complement Giroud. Sometimes you really need a battering ram�
�
Giroud is a battering ram
�
http://metro.co.uk/2...aguero-5939167/
i am really wondering if there is really an available striker that is better than giroud
Lukaku? Sturridge?
yah lor, I still dun understand the fuss about him. Good meh ? Giroud offers more movement then him.
Klopp wants him. But can't compete.
That's nice. From Dino Woy to Mammoth Arry.
Back to transfer. Nolito is edging close to a move to Man City
Also, Steve Mandanda is attracting interest from BPL clubs. Everton and Palace have both held talks with the player's agent.

Frankly, they will only fail to land their target when the player doesn't want to join. Asking price from selling club is never going to be an issue.

Wah, England football team might become a rugby team sia.�
i am really wondering if there is really an available striker that is better than giroud
�
IMO it's not about getting a better striker than Giroud but more a complimentary one who gives another option from Giroud. This striker could also replace Giroud when he is out injured, suspended etc. Problem of course is to keep both happy.
�
The signing of Xhaka is a good example, is he better than Coquelin? I'm not sure but he gives another option which I've posted many times�previously was required (I suggested Wanyama) but Wenger was adamant that Coq alone suffice but now he has changed stance which will only benefit Arsenal I feel.
Bye bye Skrtel.

Lucas likely next one out of exit door.
For Sakho's case, if they are to ban him once season start, or worse when transfer window closed, my conclusion will be someone in UEFA is trying to do us in.

Unless Man City or one of the bigger teams want him, I don't see how Pool can get 30mil for him.
Of course can try to hold out for that price and hope an auction happens esp if few clubs go after him.

UEFA against all English clubs, they only favour Barca, Real and to a lesser extent Bayern.
Always been the case esp when Platini was in charge.

Luckily got FIFA to hand down the transfer ban to Barca cos if it were to be left to UEFA, Barca would have gotten away with only a slap on the wrist. Not to say�FIFA is good cos they also have their favourites as well which is not European clubs.��

Good player but for one entering last year of contract, �30m seems a little high
Well...if a club willing to pay 42m for a player with 1 yr left, y not 30m?Eye catching B2B when he was in Benfica partnering Matic. Then took a chance and moved to Zenit.

I can't comment much on him cos I've not seen enough but from what I read n hear, he is being told to play alongside Naingolaan as the 2 players shielding the back 4 for the National team though he is more comfortable playing further up. An all round midfielder I'm reading so maybe we not seeing his true Colours at the Euros.
Great signing !!
A reunion with his old manager about a decade back. Good for him.Juan Mata has been spotted on Merseyside ahead of finalising £30M move to Everton from Man Utd

Everton really want him. But whether the transfer is really that close, I am not sure.
Kante only heard back then PSG eyeing him but seems no longer the case. Let's see if any of the rumoured interested clubs make any move then.

how come no teams looking at�Wales striker�Robson-Kanu?

So EPL awaits the arrival of Antonio Conte whose reputation has been enhanced at the Euros.
�
His preferred 3-5-2 formation is interesting. Years back Glenn Hoddle introduced this to the English League and the English couldn't except this as they were too ingrained into a back 4. Hoddle was too revolutionary for his own good though he proved himself to be a good coach and went on to manage the National team.
�
Provided you get the right personnel, there are merits in this system. you get a front 2 which keeps the opposing defenders busy and most strikers prefer working with a partner anyway. You still get 5 in MF so won't be overrun and your back 3 will likely be busy with only the opposing 1 striker anyway so seems a good system.
�
Surprisingly, Wales uses this system as well and what was even more interesting, the Germans changed to this system for the match vs Italy to match like for like! Will it work in EPL? I don't know but I await to see what Conte does at Chelsea cos I'm not sure if Terry and Cahill are the types of back 3 CBs Conte would require. Anyway, always nice to see different ideas being tried out.

You might want to reflect on how SAF supported Cantona after that incident.
KD merely given support to his player whom we all know of the "love" he received from the English media.
Don't think I want to go into that incident again but I fully understand why KD did it. Right or wrong, up to individual. He is definitely not racist nor dumb.

For Italy, Bonucci is very comfortable on the ball and is a good passer as well but I don't think any of the Wales back 3 is comfortable on the ball though. WIngbacks always need to work their socks off in most modern formations but agreed maybe more so in a 3-5-2 formation.

The English are resistant to change so it will take a brave coach to get a club side to adopt this formation which is not new but not used universally.

It can work because of the super strong and tight Juve defenders ..............�
�
lets see if he can replicate in BPL .... i hope it won't work�
My view on why this system is no longer popular is due to the lost art of sweeper. In the most ideal set up, the back 3 should comprise a sweeper and 2 stoppers. The sweeper not just the last man but also expected to bring the ball forward in an offensive transition from the back. Else, the only way is to go long or utilise the wing backs. Also, with 3 at the back, it will always be tough to break down the opponents unless you can transit very fast in counters.So EPL awaits the arrival of Antonio Conte whose reputation has been enhanced at the Euros.

3 v 1 no doubt will offer defensive solidarity but most opponents will try to exploit with pace on the wings or using of false 9. The CBs are usually not fast and will hate being taken on 1 v 1 with a winger when being dragged wide. Playing a false 9 against such a system is better as you leave the 3 CBs virtually no one to mark
The central CB will have to be experience enough to make the call on when to track the F9 and when to just let him roam. Conte rumoured to wanting Bonucci. If he wants to implement a 3-CB system, he probably will need to have the central one at least who knows how to operate in it. To get a defensive central pair working together as a unit is already tough. So imagine you are trying to have 3 working together.
Like I always said, there is no perfect formation or system. What you need to assess is how suited are your players and how easy your opponents can exploit the weakness in that system.
Anyway, there are slight difference in how Germany setup to counter Italy. Same back 3 but they use a 3-4-2-1 with Ozil as a False 9 with Muller and Gomez in support. Italy using 3-5-2

This 3-5-2 fromation is nothing new. They key to success of this fomation is whether the back 3 are reliable and able to react against fast breaks from the opposite side.
�
I remember Rafa Benitez and later BR use this system on-off with mixed results at Anfield. The most memorable event of this 3-5-2 thingy was that under BR where Stevie G slip and resulted in the painful loss against Chelsea in April 2014.
This system will be great if used intelligently but sometimes it can be a exploitable weakness.
�
Van Gaal also used this playing system with Netherlands during the 2014 world cup in Brazil with reasonable success.
�
I can foresee that Chelsea under Conte will be using this sytem with great regularity.

without tweaking and changeing player much.

Quite detailed info.
Yes. 352 is not new in BPL. Liverpool used it to very good effect under Bendan Rodgers. However, at that time they had Suarez, healthy Sturridge and good attitude Sterling in Attack.
So opponents were so busy defending, that they couldn't attack.
Also, the wingbacks were wonderful!
Hope Conte can bring some players who are effective in these areas.
Then we'll really have a scary looking team!
Go Conte! Go Chelsea!

�100m for Pogba ...
�
�158m on Luis Suarez and Toni Kroos
�
�
�
Yahoo : Hot Football Transfer Gossip: Man City��target Suarez and Kroos�, Man Utd��make �100m Pogba swoop�
�
�
After five months of reading his name and seeing his face and thinking about his medals, the day has finally arrived when Manchester City fans can reach out and touch Pep Guardiola. The stubbly Spanish genius will be officially unveiled by the club today, and if the Sunday Mirror is to be believed he is planning on making quite the entrance.
�
Having already sanctioning the relatively low-key signings of Nolito and Ilkay Gundogan, the tabloid reports that Pep is poised to ramp things up in a rather big way by spending a combined total of �158m on Luis Suarez and Toni Kroos.
�
Barcelona forward Suarez is apparently �open to the �85m move� on the condition that he can �persuade his wife and family to leave Spain�. For Manchester. Could be a tough sell. He�d probably also prefer it if City were anywhere near as good at football as Barcelona are.
�
Kroos, meanwhile, has another four years left to run on his Real Madrid contract and has just won the Champions League and reached the Euro 2016 semi-finals, so he�s probably quite happy for things to stay exactly as they are. But City are apparently going to offer Real his �63m release clause anyway, just to see what happens.
�
Not to be outdone, Manchester United are prepared to complete the worst piece of business in football history by spending a world record fee of �100m on Paul Pogba, four years after they let him go for nothing.
�
The Mail on Sunday says the Red Devils are willing to pay Pog a �250,000 a week wage that would give him the means to have everything he�s ever wanted in life, apart from Champions League football.
�
There is also a big-money battle heating up on Merseyside, where Liverpool have reportedly joined Everton in the race to sign Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel, reports the Mirror.
�
The Toffees� hopes of having a free run at the �30-rated Belgian have apparently been scuppered by Paris Saint-Germain�s �22m signing of Sevilla�s Gregorz Krychowiak, who was the Reds� number one midfield target (Marca).
�
There is a similar tussle going on in north London, with the Sun reporting that Tottenham are attempting to �thrash out� a �38m deal for Inter striker Mauro Icardi, who is also wanted by Arsenal.
�
The bad news for Spurs fans is that this bid could be almost entirely funded by the sale of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who the Sunday Mirror says is a �35m target for Real Madrid and he �could well be tempted� to go.�
�
The Sun on Sunday adds that others who could leave White Hart Lane include Ryan Mason, who is linked with a �10m move to Hull, and Nacer Chadli, for whom Borussia Dortmund are said to be �preparing a �12m swoop�.
�
Elsewhere, Middlesbrough a set to seal the �11.5m transfer of Atalanta�s Dutch midfielder Marten de Roon (Gazette), Chelsea have �won the race� to sign �30m Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly (Mirror) and Robin van Persie has been put up for sale by Fenerbahce and offered to Crystal Palace and West Ham (Sun). Which might sound fun until you see what he earns.

After the initial bid was rejected, Pool have now matched Napoli's bid of �14m but still get rejected.
Few speculations:
1) Udinese looking at higher upfront payment;
2) Napoli offered a player, Zuniga as part of the deal. He will be loan to Watford once sign by Undinese;
3) Napoli unhappy about Klopp's public courting of the player and Zielinski public display of disrespect by wearing the Liverpool jersey.
This one is turning into a bigger soap opera than Gotze's

BRUSSELS: The EU on Monday (Jul 4) ordered seven Spanish football clubs including Barcelona and Real Madrid to pay back millions of euros (dollars) in illegal state aid.
The European Commission said Spanish government support, including tax breaks and overpriced land transfers, gave the clubs an "unfair advantage" over others.
The other clubs were Valencia, Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish top flight and Atletico Osasuna, Elche and Hercules in the second division.
The decision followed a two-and-a-half year investigation.
"Using taxpayers' money to finance professional football clubs can create unfair competition," EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.
"Professional football is a commercial activity with significant money involved and public money must comply with fair competition rules. The subsidies we investigated in these cases did not."
Barcelona vowed to fight the ruling on Monday, saying they had broken no laws.
"We have applied Spanish legal norms exhaustively. In this way Barcelona has nothing to answer for," club spokesperson Josep Vives told a press conference.
"The club will defend itself and its fans against this abusive interpretation and application of the law."
Under European Union anti-trust rules, governments are not allowed to provide state aid to commercial enterprises if it distorts market competition.
The EU ordered Spain to recover unpaid tax of up to �5 million (US$7 million) from each of Barcelona, Real, Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Osasuna.
The exact sums would be determined by Spanish authorities, it said.
It said the four clubs were treated as non-profit organisations, which pay a lower tax rate than other professional clubs registered as limited liability companies.
Real Madrid was meanwhile ordered to repay �18.4 million after the Commission found that the City of Madrid overvalued a land transfer from the club to the city by that amount.
Meanwhile, the Commission said that Valencia, Hercules and Elche were given access to overly favourable loan terms when they were in financial difficulties.
Valencia has to repay �20.4 million, Hercules �6.1 million and Elche �3.7 million.
Separately, the European Commission cleared support given to five Netherlands clubs - FC Den Bosch, MVV Maastricht, NEC Nijmegen, Willem II Tilburg, and PSV Eindhoven - saying it did not involve illegal state aid.

Jose Mourinho unveiling: Get set for the man who can banish the ghosts of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United
Portuguese will bring drama, waste, gambles - and trophies to Old Trafford
�
It was what Sir Alex Ferguson didn�t say about Jose Mourinho in his autobiography which was most significant.�
�Not a word on why he hadn�t encouraged Manchester United to make him his successor in 2014; just references which indicated he always felt there was more to Mourinho�s success at Stamford Bridge than man-management. �He is a greater leader and spectacular manager but it did not hurt that he spent �100m during his first season at Chelsea,� Ferguson wrote. Mourinho�s way certainly doesn�t equate with his own.
The events of the past four days, with United committing �200,000-a-week to 34-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovich, then allowing Ryan Giggs to walk away, represent what Ferguson would always have feared Mourinho might bring.�
The current pursuit of Juventus� Paul Pogba, in what may prove to be an �80m transfer, would also be anathema to the former manager, and embarrassing, since it was his distaste for the boy�s demands for money which persuaded him to let him leave for nothing, only four years ago.
But for all that, the man who will step through a side door shortly before 11am in Old Trafford�s Europa Suite on Tuesday � the third new manager to be presented in that room in as many years � has the capacity to extinguish the ghost of Ferguson. That alone makes his arrival deeply necessary. As Ferguson�s successors have fallen by the wayside, the collective memory of his achievements has grown to such a level that it haunts the club. A nuclear option is required to allow United to leave the past behind.
Mourinho is not good news for the career prospects of United�s academy players. The potential of a chance discovery � which Marcus Rashford and Tim Fosu Mensah were last season � immediately recedes. But so will the shadow of Ferguson on the wall. ��
Expect Ferguson to feature today, as he has generally tended to do on these introductory occasions in the Europa Suite � a room which really needs to be renamed or else not used for managerial unveilings at all. David Moyes� first mention of Ferguson came 16 words into his own first press conference. It was 18 minutes before Louis van Gaal referenced �Sir Alec� in his. With his keen ear for choreography, Mourinho will lean closer towards the Moyes method.
Wayne Rooney has been central to the discussion on the two previous such occasions. It was two summers ago that Mourinho attempted to sign him from United after returning as Chelsea manager. He has already made the right noises � last week declaring Rooney to be England�s best �for over a decade�.�But the balance of dependency between player and club has shifted since Moyes�fended off Mourinho and Rooney signed a new contract which felt like a new signing for United in February 2014. Still new to the midfield goal Van Gaal eventually found for him, his future is more uncertain now.
The challenge for Rooney will be greater if Pogba does arrive, with the view from France on Monday being that the appeal of playing for Mourinho makes that a growing prospect. United�s past two years have been far more about demonstrating they are still a world power as actually becoming one and the statement of intent Pogba would represent heightens the appeal of securing him.�
The prospect of Ibrahimovich matching the 38 goals he brought in 51 PSG appearances last season�is more remote amid the far greater competition of the Premier League. Not in the remotest circumstance would Ferguson have sanctioned breaking the club�s transfer record for a 34-yer-old. He only paid out heavy to deprive other clubs of players they wanted to keep.�
This is what Mourinho brings though: spending, churn, gambles, waste, suffering for those who fail to deliver quickly. And trophies. And box office stories. It helps that he will find far fewer impediments to shaping United�s spending to his will than at Chelsea or Real Madrid, with no technical director standing in his way.�
Not since his four years as a Barcelona�s assistant manager, in the last century, has Mourinho lasted more than 72 months in one place and no one will be betting the house on this being anything other than a whirlwind ripping through Old Trafford. By 2020, United will probably be starting again, though the achievements of Ferguson will probably have been laid to rest. �For me the challenge is always first and not fourth,� van Gaal said at his introductory press conference, which was ironic in retrospect. For Mourinho, fourth does not even enter the conversation.

JM to be unveiled as Man United Mgr this morning at OT.

He is the type of Mgr that u will either love or hate, no in between.

Hope he can do what is expected of him to do.

At least 3rd in standing. Anything below is a poor result for him after spending�so much ..
Palace is on a shopping spree
Apparently he is going Man UtdThis is interesting. PSG's Blaise Matuidi reportedly authorised by France NT to fly to England earlier today for transfer talks.
The timing is strange even if true
Agree on that. It will be interesting to see what happen if Man Utd bid but RM don't. Will Pogba move or stay at Juventus

I think i read before that he is not interested to go to Man Utd.
His target move is to either RM, Barce or BM�

Actually if you read his whole msg it was more on promoting Rooney to be a no. 8 or no. 10 ie support striker rather than having him in MF. It will be Zlatan n Rooney upfront with Rashford backing up. That said, I don't remember JM playing with 2 upfront during his second Chelsea stint??

MU went through a lot of trouble to sign Pogba as a 16 yo with threatened court cases and FIFA probe before transfer agreement could be reached
�
But after securing his service, despite SAF's statement that Pogba would be in the senior squad if we want to hold Pogba back in 2011, he was mainly used in the reserve team despite being captain and outstanding player in French youth team. Pogba was featured in senior team only in� 2 FA cup games, one as sub, one sub appearance for UEFA cup game and 2 sub in premier league game in Jan and March 2012. In July, SAF announced that Pogba would leave after not signing new contract.

He made his debut for Juve in Sep 2012 and hasn't looked back since.

Any footballer worth his salt would not extend his contract, given this kind of treatment.

From what I read and if not mistaken, the straw that broke the camel's back (in this case Pogba's) was Fergie calling back Scholes from retirement instead of relying on the players available then including Pogba.
�
I don't think there is a right or wrong. Pogba had confidence in his abilities and don't want to waste more years waiting for his chance and decided to ply his trade elsewhere. A lot of young players do this esp at the bigger clubs where chances are few and far between. A lot of them don't make it but of course some do and in the case of Pogba, he not only made it but made it big.
�
Fergie like many Mgrs at big teams are under pressure to deliver success and naturally trusts players who he is familiar with. Modern football is such that results�are everything n patience is non existent. He made a judgement call on Pogba which has proven wrong. To be fair, he gets more right than wrong and he also allows youth more so than say Mourinho.
�
Life has to move on and if United feels Pogba can add value to the current team which I also agree then biting the bullet�by paying a World record transfer fee then so be it. Whether Pogba wants to come back is his call. Chelsea did the same with Matic albeit not such a high price and there will be other similar cases�down the road for sure.

From what my understand is, he finally realize he is not required/trusted in Manu is during a match where all the senior and proven MF are injured, a def was call upon to fill up that position instead of Pogba who is fully fit for that match..

That's the situation I'm talking about but I thought Fergie called back Scholes out of retirement?
Anyway, details aside; Pogba felt enough was enough and decided to move on and fair play to him for proving he is good enough. Whilst he's a good player, 100mil seems extravagant to say the least!

�Whilst he's a good player, 100mil seems extravagant to say the least!

The premiership teams in general, MU and other top teams in particular, are flushed with obscene amount of cash with the new TV deals.

Even during the "hard-time" when MU was saddled with loan and high interest, each Glazer member reportedly received 10 mil in director fee. So better pay them out in transfer than in director fees.

I believe I shared before. Klopp is not convince of Ibe. �15m is a crazy amount, no way we will reject.
With is bro sold, let's see how it impact Sturridge.
Real Madrid also cannot fight.
Man U win!
But what if Pogba only wants RM?
Then he stays on Juventus and wait.
i can see him move to Man Utd though. Record fee that Juventus would gladly accept and he will be offered a more than decent salary. Why not?
More like a headless chicken that runs to by line and don't know how to progress from there.
On a side note, ibe is promising but his progress seem stagnant.
More like a headless chicken that runs to by line and don't know how to progress from there.
Klopp is fair. Given him a season to carry out what he wants but Ibe failed to deliver. Klopp wants his winger to be more direct, take on defender at pace. At the end of season, Ojo moved ahead of him. With Mane signed, he would fall even further back. �15m is really an offer we can't afford to reject imo.

I'm with you that Ibe didn't manage to prove himself, when given about 1-2 seasons already.
�
But I'm not convinced about Ojo at all. He seems equally lost, if not more so.

Being lost is ok. They are still very young and learning the game. Young players usually struggle with consistency and decision making in final third. All these can improve.
However, why Ojo moves ahead is because he carried out Klopp's instructions.
I think it is pure mathematic crazy to spent this type of money on Pogba, if he come to UNITED, it met be pure love and adrenalin rush to play for Devils, no something of the past incident on how he left or left his balls standing,Pogba is another attacking midfielder to me whereby his skills may be highly anticipated or heading ability, I do not find him worthy of any sort, maybe his hairstyle stands out more than his feet.

To be fair, the modern wide player is expected to track back and cover the FB. With this added responsibility,�coaches look our for generalists rather than specialized wingers like Milner with high work rate�and precisely cos they are generalists, end up neither here nor there and likely they�will not have the skill to take on 1 v 1 but the plus side is they cover�a lot of ground and help out FB and ensure team is not outnumbered in MF.

When both are fit, start them both upfront and bomb long balls forward
Anyway, they signed Gokhan Tore on loan for a fee of around �5m. Deal will become permanent if he does well. I think he is a winger.

True, true. I had wished that MU would sign him before he signed for Pool.
�
Still remember what he said in his 1st interview: �t's not so important how you are welcomed when you arrive, but how you are remembered when you leave" (essence only. can't remember the exact words"

It sadly but aptly apply to LvG at MU.

Sakho is cleared from the doping scandal. Can resume playing.
Too excited to post and missed your post. Sorry bro.
I really hope Sakho or LFC take UEFA to court now. We need to know exactly what happened for them to ban a player at a late late stage of season and only to clear him after so long.
Sakho missed the Sevilla final and the chance to represent his country in the Euros because of this
Mario G�tze has decided to leave FC Bayern. In talks with Tottenham. Dortmund also interested.

Agreed, it's going to be tough to go after UEFA.

actually, Sakho must also shoulder part of the blame. Am sure the players are repeatedly told NOT TO ingest any supplements without the team doctor's approval �

Slept late so caught it...
1) English press says that substance in WADA list but Sakho's lawyer managed to argue that the substance should not be in the list.
2) French press says the substance is not in the list but it belongs to a category of fat burner that is in the list.
If it is scenario A, I would agree that Sakho and Liverpool has no case against UEFA and Sakho has to shoulder some blame.
But what if it is scenario B?
Also if indeed is scenario A, wouldn't UEFA whack him for gross negligence as well. Nevermind whether the substance should or should not be in the list but since it is, you shouldn't be touching it in the first place

This is what I call giving the Spaniards a taste of their own medicine. Real n Barca shldnt always have things their own ways. One up to United n EPL if Pogba does come
But can also be called "Cutting off the nose to spite the face" if it's just to keep up with the Joneses.
I mean, paying a vast sum to have a player who's just like another lumbering Balo is not financial prudence but with Juan Mata on his way out (who is a better player imho) and Fellaini (with better elbows in the 6 yard box), JM wants better and instant results. Is he worth it?
For the record, I don't rate Pogba at �100mil.
�50-�60mil can consider. I don't think United paying that price just to spite Real.
In fact, I don't believe any club buys players just to prevent another club from getting that player, not even City nor Chelsea nor anyone for that matter.
IMO, nice to let the bigger clubs like Real, Barca n Bayern feel how it's like to be outbidded, rejected etc n that's why even though I'm not a United supporter, I'm happy they put one up over the biggest clubs

If they indeed made the bid, I don't believe Juventus will reject it unless Pogba made it clear that he doesn't want the move.
However if that's the case, the agent would have informed Man Utd and they won't make the bid.
Have to agree on your valuation based on Euro performance. Joe "Welsh Pirlo" Allen made it to the official team of the tournament and yet he is available for �10m.

Haha you got a point, don't want top be present at hearing n now want to appeal!!

Trouble with this WADA is that they can be overzealous. Happen to other sports as well so don't think Pool or football being singled out here. Anyway, it's a real pity for club, country and player. Lose lose situation. Personally I feel benefit of any doubt should be given to sportsman till solid evidence is presented otherwise a similar situation will happen again.
I am a long time admirer of Ah Seng, esp after he cured his myopic problems.
�
But those gunner fans who pay good monies for merchandise and tickets and the club just lock it into their account with no intentions to compete on transfer market may not be overjoyed. They have backed out on at least 2 reported deals so far. Youth and long term policy is at best idealism. Even if the players are loyal, their agents may not be. With Arsenal languishing in the eternal top 4 positions, one has little hope that they can hold on the top promising young stars. They would go either for financial or footballing reasons, if not for both.�
�
Not many fully grasp the commercial impacts on EPL. The teams do not depend so much for success on the pitch. LFC, like Ed said, despite their recent (or not so recent) drought, they are still No. 2 shirt seller in UK. MU revenue grow by over 30% over the past 3 underwhelming seasons. Arsenal earned more TV money than Leicester last season etc
�
So it's worth to keep the momentum going by any means. New players, or even new managers to stay in the limelight. Or for some to survive in the premiership where TV money of abt 65 mil is guarantee by just being there.
�
If Pogba is ex at 100 mil, W Ham just slapped 100 mil price tag on Payet.
�
If Lambo is out of touch and mere dream for me, it's a toy for many.
�
If one thinks that MU is reckless financially, the latest report (June 2014) said they have the lowest wage to revenue % in EPL. (Obviously they were help by the huge revenue base) Among the top teams, Arsenal is next with 55%. Rest of the top teams are ard 60%. WBA had the hight at 75%.
�
Therein lies the spending power of MU.
Not sure on the latest but with Zlatan and Mkhitaryan onboard, the wage numbers certainly have gone up significantly.
West Ham put a price tag of �50m on Payet but i seriously doubt anyone will be paying that.
Man Utd model is built on success to drive commercial and with loads of money, continue achieve success.
That's the reason why Man Utd will not hesitate to spend big, not just because they can, but also they must. Let's put it this way, they can't afford to have barren spells like what Pool are going through. The business model will crash

City have signed Ger�nimo Rulli and will loan him to Sociedad with an obligation to buy for �7m. City will then have a buy-back clause. Rulli could remain with Real Sociedad until 2018 at which point City will exercise their buy-back clause and buy him for around �14m.

The authorities Shld not allow this kind of transfers. Obviously big club milking the transfer market n it becomes like trading kettle. And to make matters worse, the smaller club, Sociedad in this case will be sort of indebted to City n leads to the feeder club situation which the authorities are keen to stop so as to ensure fair play.
Even ownership rules of FC doesn't allow an owner to own more than one club IIRC so this Shld be barred as well.

As far as Sociadad is concern, they would probably be losing out on the player anyway. So this deal might be win-win as they get to loan the player with an obligatory clause to sign him and should City come back for him in the future, they are guarenteed of a profit.
Football transfers at the end of the day, still a willing buyer, willing seller and willing player transaction. Money can influence but will never be able to force a deal through if one party die die don't want to deal.
As for players not allowed to move within 1 or 2 windows, I don't think it will be received well as it seriously violate basic employment rights. What is being done now though, is to restrict a player from representing more than 2 clubs in the same season. Meaning if A played for Club X in preseason, get transferred to Club Y, played a game for them, he cannot play for Club Z in that season even if Club Y sold him off immediate in the same window.

Bold portion is the reason why Liverpool are trailing Man Utd in financial means now. When we were successful in 70s and 80s, we made no effort to expand the commercial side of things, because of that belief held by the Anfield hierarchy.
Man Utd took the commercial path even before they started their dominance on the field.
The rest they say, is history.
Again there is no good solution in this imperfect world.
�
If one bars the players from playing in the same league after having played with another club, then one might as well scrap the Jan transfer window. It may hurt the smaller clubs which could not afford big squads, desperate for survival more.

Probably the rules now already in place for the cup competition suffice for now.

I think there is�a rule presently that you can't be registered�for 3 clubs in�the same season but for this case, he never played for City so in theory, it's still 2 clubs so within the rules I think, something like that.
�
Anyway, I feel strongly on this bartering/hogging or whatever you want to call it of players and feel the football authorities can surely come up with something to stop this. IMO, it's not a violation of employment cos he's still paid and employed not as if it's restrictive for the player to ply his trade.
�
Sorry for the harping on this issue but this situation is much worse than what Chelsea always does by loaning out their players cos in their case not a single time do they have this immediate agreement that at the�end of the�loan to force the loan club to buy the player.
Worst scenario, just pay him off.

Each club can only register 25 players of which 8 has to be home grown so only 17 foreigners allowed. Registering MB means one precious vacancy is taken up so unless there is�a vacancy, it seems pointless to keep him.

the only problem was they were quite unlucky in front of goal after taking 50 shots from outside the box�
LOL actual quote from BR
�
�No. There is obvious disappointment. There is no embarrassment. It was a tough game in tough conditions. We didn�t take our chances, they took their chance.
�We dominated and created enough chances to score. Sometimes it can happen, obviously with the pitch, an awkward bounce and all of a sudden the player is in, it�s into the floor and goes in.
�We have seen enough to see that we can get through in the second leg. Of course you are disappointed to lose. It was difficult, of course. They set up 5-4-1. And it doesn�t matter the team, the level. Teams have good organisation, 11 players behind the ball. Throw the pitch into that, it�s very, very tough for the players.

for the job and he is available

�No. There is obvious disappointment. There is no embarrassment. It was a tough game in tough conditions. We didn�t take our chances, they took their chance.
�We dominated and created enough chances to score. Sometimes it can happen, obviously with the pitch, an awkward bounce and all of a sudden the player is in, it�s into the floor and goes in.
�We have seen enough to see that we can get through in the second leg. Of course you are disappointed to lose. It was difficult, of course. They set up 5-4-1. And it doesn�t matter the team, the level. Teams have good organisation, 11 players behind the ball. Throw the pitch into that, it�s very, very tough for the players. But we created enough chances, their keeper made fantastic saves. It gives us a bit of work to do in the second leg.�
�
This is England manager material.
�
I am now truly amazed with the genius of LS
�
it must have been a tremendous feat to almost deliver the league title�
�
in spite of having a manager like BR�
�
i don't think even pele or maradonna could have done that if BR was their manager.
�
And LS's genius was so complete that he could even make the rest of the country vote BR as manager of the year.. WOW

Bold portion is the reason why Liverpool are trailing Man Utd in financial means now. When we were successful in 70s and 80s, we made no effort to expand the commercial side of things, because of that belief held by the Anfield hierarchy.
Man Utd took the commercial path even before they started their dominance on the field.
The rest they say, is history.�

Eg A player cannot move to another club within say 1 or 2 transfer windows just after he joined a new club. I'm sure the authorities can implement something otherwise football will be cornered by the richest clubs which is slowly happening already and fair play may be compromised.

Too bad. Clubs have to live by their decisions be it good or bad and perhaps they will be more careful of their purchases. Idea though is to disallow trading of players by bigger clubs to smaller clubs for an immediate profit which is against the spirit of player movement.��

Can't believe that the FA is speaking to Sam Allardyce for the vacant England Mgr post.

Seems like quite a few supporter for him leh.....
SAF also back him. When SAF recommend, usually good.
Oh wait...
Sound like Nokia..
"we didn't do anything wrong..."�
But they didn't revolve to be a better brand...
Issues of branding issues with Liverpool started the day Tom Hicks and George Gillet Jr bought over this well known club in 2007 with borrowed money and tried to make money from this so called prized "investment". It turned out to be a financial disaster. Instead of improving the club's brand, most of the time and resources were spend on bickering between Hicks & Co and the management team with Rick Parry and Rafa Benitez on the receiving end.
�
It was well known that during those years, the club struggled to meet the interest payments on the loans taken out as part of the leveraged buyout. It also meant that there was a lack of investment in players resulting in declining performances on the pitch. All that was but a bad phase of the club's history.
�
Now with FSG on board, it is more of steadying and strengthening the Liverpool ship and growing the club domestically and globally eg physically increasing capacity of the stadium and accelerating the global brand franchise, endorsements and partnership arrangements.�
�
Long story cut short; it is more of catch-up time and it cannot be helped if Man U or Arsenal or even other Johnny-come-latelys has moved ahead of LFC, because past historical glories alone is never good enough.
�
So better late than never.There is still hope for Liverpool specially if a genuine deep pocketed suitor is willing to dish out the real $$$, and be committed to leap-frog the club to the where it should rightfully be.
SAF also back him. When SAF recommend, usually good.
Oh wait...SAF is still a much respected personality in the British football scene. So his views and opinions carries much weight.
�
But he was wrong with endorsing David Moyes for the Man U manager post.
�
Did he or didn't he has some say on LVG's appointment to replace Moyes as a Board director of Man U?
�
Now he endorse JM for Man U. SAF could be right this third time round, right.
�
Perhaps he could be also right with Big Sam, being an "appropriate" coach from a "English" coach viewpoint.
�
Back on past track record, the FA's selection committee usually end up choosing the most 'politically correct" candidate. Big Fat Sam seems to fit the profile well, very well.
There is another report saying that�Juventus�rejected �132m (�112m)�offer from Man�United. You believe? I don�t believe. �They can keep him for�another 10 years.� Base on his Euro 2016 performance, he is not even worth 50 mil.
�
�
� � Thy are taking ManUted as sucker, for whatever reason that skull head is NOT every pounds he's worth, for all i care, I think by keeping Fellaini and Mata is a best deal than " PooBor "
I firmly believe a player in any calibre and clubs takes at least 24 months to gel, live and play well, let alone understand the true culture of the club. �IN football term it is not about height or size, we have ebony and ivory ( T.Sheringham and Andy Cole ) characters, hardly speak a word, but a terror once thy kick a ball.
�
What have we got here, Mata and Fellaini ( Fellaini can win ball by his head knock down to Mata, who can shoot from all angle and distribution, But I am nt here to tell Jose what to do, He can't afford to do another SAF's mistake...
�
Yes, yes I have heard all he say was Mata has no pace, he can't track back like Oscar , Hazard is another midfielder who can attack and shoot, every players has their strength and weakness.
Seems like quite a few supporter for him leh.....

I for one feel it might turn out good. He knows how to work with what he had, I think he'll definitely be better than Woeful Woy

It's not the same comparison right?

We don't get traded to another company unlike players. That's the fundamental difference between our contracts and a footballer. And that's why we have the�Bosman transfer where players are free to move at the end of their contract unlike pre Bosman days.

I've never heard of an employee here who has joined a new company only to be "sold" to another employer here so not an apple to apple comparison.

Stock clearance sale of surplus players affects every club, not just Liverpool alone. Man U, Citeh, Chelsea, Arsenal and the rest have to do trading of players here and there.
�
It seems that Klopp is managing this departure of 'released' players well �without firesale prices.
�
Looks like the present team is undergoing a refreshing change for the better.
as an aside, Pool's newly acquired Gruijic looks a man-mountain in his first game at the club in the friendly last nite.�
�
comparision with Matic at Chelsea are bound to surface due to their similar frame and size, and playing position and style. �
�
i really wonder if Klopp still need to go out and grab another central midfielder. �The current players in Can, Gruijic, Allen, Henderson and agruably Milner looks ok unless he is looking for something this current players cannot offer.
�
I am excluding Lucas as either he will be kept in the squad as a back CB or be sold off..�

I do believe although there is a need to trim the squad, the lack of incoming activity is also due to deadlock in negotiation.
Key players to move on are Benteke and Balotelli. Transfer fees recouping aside, the two will free up �200kpw worth of wages.
I really pity Zielinski. Napoli bid accepted. Our similar bid in value rejected. Zielinski refused to discuss terms with Napoli. Now Milan came in with a �18m bid which is higher and get accepted by Udinese too. Will see how Zielinski response to it now. If Klopp's lure is so strong, he is likely to reject all personal terms talk and force Udinese to accept our bid. If that is to happen, will be late in the window.
Dahoud's situation remains unchanged. Either we give BMG an offer they can't refuse, or we wait till next summer.
Chilwell closest. Hopefully by end of this week can get some news.
Leverkusen had been contacted on Tah. But I have not receive any credible info on the outcome of our enquiry. Just hope we make the move if Leverkusen is willing to do business.

Grujic had a good outing and I only manage to watch the highlights. I will find time over the weekend to catch the match in full. From the first friendly, Klopp went 4-2-3-1. If that's what he wants for next season, I would say we still need that controller. Grujic if you ask me, is still a B2B like Can, based on how he played for Red Star.
Assuming Can is taking one of the midfield spot, none of whom we have compliment Can as a partner. Allen, Hendo and Milner are more suited in a midfield 3. Ideally, if we are to sign one to partner Can, I hope it would be a DLP like Dahoud or Neves, or a pure DM destroyer like William Carvalho.
It's not the same comparison right?

Karius did not choose the level he should play but rather, he is working hard to be chosen by his NT. If this call up his from Jochim Low, Klopp won't stop him.
My point is this. Between going for the Olympic and missing the chance to establish yourself as the No.1 in your new club, after the manager expressed his desire for you to stay is a no brainer.
The matter was brought up to the German Federation for discussion and they respected Karius' decision.
Beside, Karius probably also eager to have the chance to play at a World Class stadium like the Emirates on the opening day

playing for the junior level in the olympics is really a waste of time imho. national team wise, i agreed more worth it in terms of exposure and development.�
�
make no mistake about it, Karius is competing with Mingolet for the right to be no.1 GK for the start of the season. I think Klopp is gonna give him the chance, having seen how Mingolet has played in the last season. He shouldnt have too much things to lose to be honest...�

Think we getting out of point here.
�
My point is on not allowing a club (employer in your scenario) to financially gain by trading a player (employee in your scenario) to another club (employer) thru them when they never owned the player in the first place.
�
There is no precedent in our local context and I also don't see any breach of employees rights etc as the employee could simply move from his current employer to the final destination employer without the need to go thru this intermediary employer so no comparison at all and also nothing to do with employee rewards, buying out of contract etc which is an entirely different matter altogether.
i think playing in the olympics will be good exposure...... he don't have to worry about playing at emirates, he should have many chances at that
But at Olympics he will be facing U21 or U23 teams right? Pit against the top strikers plying their trades in the BPL I think he can learn more.
I do agree Klopp is being selfish here but as long as Karius agrees, the German Federation agrees, everyone is happy.

Although its not mentioned in bro O23 post, I'm assuming City bought him for less than 7m** so they will make�a profit when Sociedad is forced to buy him at the end of the season and that's what I feel is not correct cos City just a middleman in this transfer and earning a profit for nothing.
�
As for the buy back of 14m, it's a fair and common practice amongst clubs to sell a player and put a buy back�clause which obviously has to be higher than the original price otherwise the selling club (Sociedad in this case) will not agree to it.�So nothing wrong with this.
�
**Fair assumption that the buying price should be lower than 7m otherwise why would City want to embark on this at all if it's more than 7mil cos it would make no economic sense as�they will�be�losing money if it's more than 7mil.
