I'd say Celtic would have no bother matching that wage :no

They are a big enough club with a large fanbase. :nod

I think he would be better off heading back to Swansea myself and they would also be more likely to give us close to what we paid in the first place. The Scottish league is poor and at 26 I think the lad has rocks in his head if he is considering it.

To play under Rogers again, who didn't seem to have too much faith in him the last couple season. I think he's gotten more time under Klopp than he had been under Rogers, but I could be wrong.

I think he's a decent player. A good back up, but if we are to sign a defensive-minded midfielder, between the new player and Can players like him and Lucas will rarely see the pitch. I know that's not exactly Allen's role, but that tends to be how he's played.

I don't think he would be so keen to hook back up with Rodgers myself. He really liked Pascoe and had a few words to say when the other lad threw him under a bus.

Allens value must have trebled at the Euros, easy get £20m now if we want :nod

dunno about 20 million lol, but he's playing a blinder this evening :bowdown

I'd keep him. He's not the fanciest player but he knows how to keep the ball moving and is happy to play up and down the pitch. I'd sell Hendo before Joe

Wouldn't disagree mate, keep Pirlo and move Hendo on, he's not a game changer.

Excellent squad player. More versatile and intelligent than Hendo. If we're going with a 2 man central midfield next year it should Can +1, with Allen and Grujic providing backup, and Stewart as emergency cover. I think we can afford to move on Hendo and Lucus.

Reality is our center midfield is average.

Henderson and Allen are nowhere near good enough, couldn't give a s**t about how Allen is performing at the Euros. If anything we should be using this to make a profit off him.

Lucas is the only decent DM we have, but outside of providing cover to our back four is very limited in all other areas.

Can continues to be inconsistent but most of us are willing to give him one more year due to his age and glimpses we saw last season.

We need an established box-to-box CM, that can link up with Lucas and Can because at the moment neither Henderson nor Allen are compatible in the same team.

Apparently a £10m move to Swansea could be on. We turned down £8m and they're coming back with a better offer. Apparently

IMO - We should be holding out for 16-18M
Since his LFC arrival JO has...
- European Championship Experience - Position pending...
- PL Runner Up Medal
- CL Experience
- EL Final experience / Runner Up Medal
- LC Final / Runner Up Medal
- Prem proven

By adding 1M on his achievements at LFC we should hold out for better offers or offer him an extension

Won't be particularly pleased if we let Allen go while keeping Henderson and Lucas on our books. I know there's still a lot of the summer left but still

Releasing him would be just dumb...Other then Coutinho he is the only play maker we got...Has great ball control and vision...Didn't get half the chances he should have received.

Today's game a reminder how insane it would be to sell Allen....

A short tournament isnt the trenches 24/7 at Liverpool, if Allen is now a keeper then lets sign Robson Kanu on a free.

Different mentality when every game is the biggest of your life to bringing it at West Brom away on MNF in November.

Do we now give him another shot, not because of his Liverpool performances but a handfull of efforts for Wales, or cash in and reinvest the money.
