Screams of desperation or something.
We won't get back more than half at max.
Are you talking about Sakho? Sakho was our best CB before his affair with fat burning pills. He still was better than any defender we had last season when he was playing. He screwed up big time in terms of of discipline and you can't do that with Klopp, which is what he found out in the end.
I don't think it was a bad signing at all. In fact, it's a bit of a shame Klopp and him couldn't make up. He would still be very very valuable in the current team. Could even be captain material if for example he gets along with Klopp as much as Lallana does.
Another similar scenario but to a much lesser extent is Sturridge. Klopp kinda called him out on his injury and mental strength, Sturridge didn't like it and responded in the media. Ever since then he's been in Klopp's dog house.
Klopp seems very friendly to players who follow his rules, but once his rules are broken by someone or shows insubordination, Klopp's a feckin dictator alright...
