I can't believe this shite. This entire season seems to have been one body blow after another except for VVD. But The Brain leaving at this time or anytime is not good. This is a guy he met playing for Mainz and has been his right hand man every step of his managerial career. He was called "Klopp's twin" at BVB because they saw the game exactly the same way. I agree, if we make Top 4 and the CL Final it will have been a fricking master stroke.

So will Max Meyer be a squad player? Or does he have the talent to slot into the starting 11?

quote:
Amid the battle to resolve his future, the 22-year-old has hit out at Schalke’s sporting director Christian Heidel and his supposed behaviour during talks.

He told Bild: “I was never concerned about the money, otherwise I would have accepted the second improved offer.

“That's why I find it a mess for Clemens Tonnies to say it on TV as if it were all about money. I simply did not want to stay with Schalke and work under Heidel. It's all about this. Lately, it just feels like bullying to me.”

Schalke have now responded to an unsanctioned interview by revealing that Meyer will form no part of their plans for the remainder of the 2017-18 campaign.

A statement on the club’s official website read: “Max Meyer will not participate in the training sessions of the team in the next two weeks until the end of the season and, as a result, will no longer be used.

“His contract with FC Schalke 04 expires at the end of the season.”

Heidel added on the accusations made against him: "We cannot tolerate this behaviour and these statements – in particular the false allegations against the club, which we reject in the strongest possible manner. Schalke 04 has always behaved correctly towards Max Meyer."

Head coach Domenico Tedesco also condemned Meyer for speaking out against a club which has done so much for him down the years.

The clubs reaction here makes me smell rotten fish.

And I have no idea if a guy like Meyer would be on Klopp's radar, but he's a quality young player for sure.
