Seeing via Reddit we've offered €80M and Origi on loan to Monaco for Lemar... They'd be nuts to reject that right?


I think Monaco, even if they sell Lemar, with the purchases they've brought in will still be top 3 in Ligue 1, so I agree that IMO it would make sense for them to sell, especially if they can get that kind of money and Origi in return.

But the transfer market this summer has been totally insane and unpredictable, so who the hell knows?

Also, what is the point of doing a medical a calendar year before a transfer?


Because why wouldn't you make this splash to buy him only to find out in your medical a year later that there's a heart condition/hip displacement or some other issue that warns you off. Remember when we had that forward (Remy? Someone else) 4 or so years ago and then our medical squashed it due to a heart defect?

There will be an additional medical next year, but yeah, a medical now makes perfect sense.

How we handle Phil is extremely vital. If we sell than the word continues that you can get top players from LFC as long as you have the cash and we won't stand up to players who push


Thats why I think we keep him. If we give in here, we'll have Firmino, Mane, Salah, et al all doing similar things in the next 3-5 years. We need to establish ourselves as a destination to win things now.

Apparently fans have crashed an aviation-tracking site trying to figure out if he's on/coming to Merseyside this morning

No seriously, my F5 key is getting a work out this morning

Also love how quickly the perception of things can change... LFC twitter was doom and gloom before Sunday, and now there was literally a tweet (it was kinda facetious) about putting a John Henry statue outside of Anfield

If we land VVD and Lamar before the first I will fly to merryside and pour the foundation for that bad boy.

The secret club van that secretly takes potential Liverpool players secretly from the airport to the club (for medical checkups and contracts) now has its own Twitter account.

Twitter is totally off the rails with LFC fans acting out of their minds. Also multiple reports that FSG has had enough with the fake injury and will sell Phil for 160. No reliable sources yet but plenty of smoke. I stand by my statement, I think it's a bad idea.

160 and I'd have sold the little worm yesterday. Look like the most dangerous attacking side in Europe without him. Bring in another pacy winger and a CB and make a run at the title, Lallana will be back for the second half

Yeah, the report yesterday that the brazilian doc said he was 100% okay to play rubbed me the wrong way, his arse can go for all I care

So much mental anxiety and pressure on poor, poor Phil.

Yeah, the thought of playing behind that front three/manager must be excruciatingly tough... Oh wait he plays for Liverpool not Arsenal

F that. It rubbed me the wrong way too - now he can sit for as long as he wants.

You don't give in to him like this or it'll be open season for our other starts in a year or two.

You got to know when to hold 'em....

I'm fine with that option as well... Only throw him out there for random league cup and FA cup games if that

Unless and until he apologizes to Klopp, owners, and his teammates for trying to undermine their mindset before the CL playoffs.

Even then, he'll have to work his way back in the hard way.
