Liverpool FC Forum

Come on Reg, did you get ovations every time you appeared at work and got cheered on for doing your job? And was your job kicking a ball around and did you get paid millions for it? I really don't understand people that imply that football is even remotely similar to regular employment.

Football is tribal… He plays for our tribe and now he plays for an enemy tribe, you can understand it.

The way things are shaping up I wouldn't mind getting 3 new cbs. If Konate tries to go on bosman he can take a hike and go to PSG or Real for all I care. If Gomes wants to be 1st choice he can go too as I see him as the perfect sub who can cover all over the backline. And tbh I do not fancy Quansah at all when I've seen him play. Yes, he is young but nowhere near a larger role in the team. Sell or loan is fine either way as he needs time on the pitch which we can't give him.
So YES, 3 new sbs would be fine if that is how it goes.

Players leaving is part and parcel of the game.

But when they leave for free, while stringing the club along on contract negotiations, then it twists the knife somewhat because the club misses out on the funds its needs to replace them.

I blame the club more than Trent, which is why LFC needs to move players on who refuse to commit.
