Guerrero signed a new deal earlier in the season. Would have been a good target.  We have to find another option for left back.

Forgot about that, shit haha,

I think we'll promote hoever if lovren goes. 

Not ready in my opinion Barry but what do I know, looks more comfortable at full back.

Only realised thanks to google, to be fair. You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly.

Sorry mate, typical of me.

I used to cringe badly whenever anyone used the phrase “on top of our perch” now even the word perch just goes right through me.

I completely agree but once this season is over, we’ll have at least another 16 major trophies to win (more if you include Super & World Club Cups) before Klopp leaves.

 

If, as was the original plan, Klopp was leaving next summer, I’d totally get the concern. 
 

If we enter the 22/23 season with the same squad as now I’ll start to get a bit nervous but I genuinely can’t see why people are bothering to discussing it now.

What a player he would be here. Think City wouldn't sell to us though so he'll probably go to a European club.

City need a centre half don't they? Lovren for Sane seems a good result for everyone.

C’mon reds, you know it makes.

I agree but if he says Liverpool or I leave on a free, then they’ve a decision to make. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

what a signing Sane would be, got Bayern written all over it alas.

[Harry Squatter]

Can't see anyone else winning the Bundesliga for a long time now. Especially if Sane goes there.

 

Does he want to leave to go back to Germany or has he just realised City are a gang of massive cunts?

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Moondog.

[TheHowieLama]

Bayern will scoop up this fella and Havertz in the next year and be set for another decade of titles

[BeefStroganoff]

JK sounded dead happy when asked about Werner in the presser...

My mate is a bit of a know it all and reckons it’s to do with his family wanting him to go to Bayern. 
Something about him having a kid and his parents pressuring him to raise it over there. Could be complete bollocks but that’s what he’s going with.

Who's your pick to replace him when he quits out of anger?

LOL.

 

Some of you on here are a bit one dimensional arn't you? Like it's just not possible is it, for us to be doing well but for fans to be concerned long term when he's gone, and that day will come faster than you think. It's impossible for some people to fathom that in here. Yours is the second smart arse response i've had today.

 

Its entirely possible that he can be a bit fucked off with what happened last week, seeing that he put the groundwork in (by all accounts).

 

As I've said before, FSG owed him that signing. Hell they owe him any signing he wants or needs WITHOUT offloading someone else first. He's single handedly dragged this club off its knees.

[TheHowieLama]

I am not sure Klopp wanted to make Werner the most expensive player on the roster and quite sure he wouldn't agree with guaranteed playing time.

[The Guest]

He’s clearly been wanting to go to Bayern for a long time.  City as usual couldn’t care less about the money they will just want to weigh up what is worse for a competitor in Europe like Bayern. If they can squeeze 90m out of them like they’ve been talking then it stops them buying other players.  Bayern clearly aren’t stupid enough to pay that for a player with 1 year in his contract and will have told him to sit it out

 

If I was in Sane and I really didn’t want to be there I’d be saying to City you are going to sell me to Bayern now for whatever they are willing to pay or I’m going to go to Liverpool on a free at the end of the season.  I think that would move things along for him.

He's gone in 4 years. Teams can go from poor, to decent, to great and back to poor in that timespan. Why you'd worry about looking that far ahead when the future for football teams are always so murky to predict, I have no idea. When he leaves, we may turn to shite, we may still be good, we might all be dead, who cares. The important thing is how we look in the near future because for our squad, the future is now. 

 

It literally takes one great signing or two to change the fortunes of a side, look at selling Coutinho and buying Alisson + van Dijk. We have 4 years to attempt these kinds of signings and we have leeway because the team is already great. Complaining because we missed out on Werner who is, by the way, not some megastar ballon d'or candidate, is being a hysterical fanny. There's plenty of fish in the sea and we're in the market for all of them. Whether we have money remains to be seen, but we have a legit shot at attracting pretty much anyone. 

 

Also, FSG don't "owe" Klopp anything, they pay his salary. They work together and make decisions together. That's why the marriage has actually worked so far, when it hasn't in the past.

Endlessly repeating this viewpoint on the other hand, is completely 3 dimensional, multi-faceted, fresh and filled to the brim with depth and nuance.

 

Lets have some more of it.
