Big rapt on Koulibaly. I haven't seen much of Serie A this season but.

If he gets 2 years could we sell him to China or would ban be world wide?

Yeah, Koulibaly's an animal. He'd be a great option. Another option if we don't mind paying a high fee is Mustafi. Amazing defender who has all the qualities. Tah and Sule are good as well but a little young. If we get rid of Sakho we should get someone around his age.

Mustafi was once at Everton I believe.

That's right. He joined the academy there but only played as a sub one time in the Europa League. He's developped into a top defender at Valencia.

I like hearing the community spirit of Sakho, and that stuff is definitely a good character reference. I hope it has some bearing on his case, but I fear it won't.

When Lovren returned from injury after Klopp arrived, he stuck with Skrtel until he then got injured. I don't think he sees him as the last resort option some on here do, however I think he'll go with Toure who hasn't the same fitness (or should that be fatness) issues.

Sorry mate, missed this yesterday.

 

See what you mean, just think the Watford game really showed his weaknesses up as a future option beyond this season. Also think we'll see Klopp publicly giving Benteke a bit of toffee in the next week or so, as he rightly tries to squeeze every drop out of what he has available to him.

 

Time will tell. Skrtel certainly isn't as bad as he looked at Southampton, and there were obvious mitigating factors for it, but I don't think he'll be here next year personally.

 

Agree Toure will get the nod on Thursday too. Unless Mama sings like a canary to save himself in the meanwhile.

I've been trying to work out who gets the shove all year.

 

I can't say I have a horse in the race, to use a Kloppism, so it doesn't really bother me. I think they all have obvious weaknesses, and every pairing we have used has shipped goals at a rate I'd rather we fixed. Sakho and Lovren weren't looking bad of late, relatively, but also may have been chemically enhanced.

[RobbieOR]

He has accepted the charge and isn't getting his B sample tested. Long ban coming up I reckon.

[Sputnik1]

I think (hope) that his actions (not requesting B sample etc) will mean a shorter ban. 

[stringvest]

they may cut it down to a year.

[El Rojo]

More recent events have made this seem absolutely inconsequential.

 

Shame for us and him, there was certainly potential in his partnership with Lovren.

 

Will be interesting to see what Klopp's - or the club's - approach will be.

[Evil_Ways]

It is completely baffling how he could take something without consulting with the medical staff. And if he did it is even more outrageous.

While I highly commend this attitude,its got very little to do with anything IF,a big if,he did do knowingly take banned substances.

Apparently he's claiming mitigating circumstances. We'll have to wait and see what they are (and whether UEFA take them into consideration).

[Ginny]

Fuckin hell. It's a well known fact that fat burners mask other drugs.

[Hades]

FSG and Ayre on the ball as usual. How does this shit get past the club doctors? Surely every substance must be vetted by the club.

 

[Boss]

Don't understand why we aren't playing him. He's getting banned for about 12 months anyway, may as well play him in the semis and stand a better chance of winning the UEFA cup.

That would make to much sense.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Sense? Playing a potential drug-cheat? Okay.

Well, we can't bring anyone in to replace him over the next few weeks. Play him now while they decide a punishment, and once the have, we'll have all summer to deal with it.

 

All depends if they'll be more lenient as we have withdrawn the player from competition or not. But even so, we need him now.

 

And referring to him with the rather lazy 'drugs cheat' makes you sound like a tabloid journalist.

If you show me where I did that, I'll happily retract it. Of course, not being a vapid cunt - and being one of the few people on here who, instead of being a cunt and putting the boot in, said to wait - I didn't say he was a drugs cheat.

 

It's fucking hard work in here these days. 

[El Rojo]

It would be crazy in every way to play him.
