champers Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Various UK Sunday papers linking Liverpool with the following 3 players: Pope. Best goalie this season in the Prem? Shaquiri. This one won't go away (maybe him expressing a preference). Has a £12M buyout clause in his contract. Goetze. Managed by Klopp at Dortmund. Still only 26.

LFC reduced the offer following the results of medical and Lyon said bugger off.and (B)...LFC turned down the deal and Lyon offered to reduce fee but LFC said no.

When Shanks was Liverpool boss Frank Worthington failed a medical and instead of joining Liverpool from Hudderdfield he went to Leicester, then Bolton, Birmingham, Sunderland, Leeds, Southampton, Brighton, USA, Sweden etc, etc, etc, etc, finishing his career at age 40. Liverpool fans were deprived of his football talents, the ladies of Liverpool his other talents, though I imagine he saw to a few when he was manager at Tranmere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal famously bid £1 over that for him. I thought Barca paid about £75M for Suarez; not bad for someone with his diciplinary record at the time.

And yes, prior to that, Arsenal did put that bid in and in response Liverpool gave him a new deal and honored his exit the following season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha ha, but Suarez release cause was for 40m and you got 65m so the release clause didn't affect the price , get it right Bobby !!!!! "Luis Suarez is the top scorer in the English Premier League, which is arguably the top soccer league in the world," Henry is reported to have said. "He had a buyout clause of £40m. Arsenal, one of our prime rivals, offered £40m plus £1. What we've found … is that contracts don't seem to mean a lot in England – actually, in world football.

Yes he had a release clause for 40M but he signed a new agreement with a new release clause that same summer. Barcelona claimed they paid 65M, as the buying club often does. Liverpool say 75M as the selling club often does. I agree contracts don't mean a lot, however they still affect a player's value, as do terms.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44735514 Klopp has come out with "an explanation" that karius was concussed due to that villain Ramos with the score 0v0 and thereafter Liverpool lost. I'm sure all liverpool fans will get on board with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
