Look.. Barca don't have the money. Everyone knows they are playing Messi and Suarez mad money to keep them and have little left. They need to sell 4 or 5 players like delflop back to Everton etc yo even afford this deal..... My view is unchanged, it's mouth and ego to keep fans happy and nothing will happen til May after season is over
I agree. Hopefully it'll come in the summer if it does come. Selling now could derail our season, he's in top form.

Pepijn Lijnders leaves Liverpool FC Pepijn Lijnders has left his role with Liverpool FC to become the head coach of Dutch club NEC Nijmegen, with immediate effect. Lijnders joined the Reds in 2014 after spells with PSV Eindhoven in his home country and FC Porto in Portugal, initially taking charge of the U16s at the Academy. He was appointed to the newly-created position of first-team development coach in the summer of 2015 and became a key member of Jürgen Klopp’s backroom staff following his arrival as manager later that year. He now departs the club after permission was granted for the highly-respected coach to take the opportunity with the Dutch outfit, who sit second in the Netherlands’ second tier. “I could write for hours thanking the people at Liverpool who have helped me since I came here and the decision to leave has not been easy,” said Lijnders. “In general terms I would like to thank all the amazing players and staff at Melwood and the Academy at Kirkby, who I’ve been privileged to work with. Also, at Anfield – that is such a special place with special people and I never took for granted going to work at one of the greatest stadiums in the world every other week. “This club is so, so lucky to have someone of Jürgen’s calibre leading its football team – he is world-class, truly world-class and I hope to take many of the great lessons I learned from him, Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and John Achterberg into my own future leading a side. “Working with the first-team squad was magical. They confirmed every day that everything starts and ends with passion for the game. With the quality this club already has in the building, only time is against this project. “You don’t really say goodbye to Liverpool Football Club, because you will always have to represent its honesty and passion wherever you go. It’s a stamp on your back. “I’m proud of each day that I could represent them directly and I will give my best to do so in my next chapter. Hopefully they will be proud of me as well.” please log in to view this image Klopp paid special tribute to Lijnders for the support he has provided to the coaching staff during the past two years, and for the influence the Dutchman had on guiding the club’s young players into the first-team set-up. “It’s such a strange mix of emotions talking about Pep leaving us,” said the Liverpool manager. “Firstly, I am gutted to be losing such a valuable member of our coaching team and such a brilliant person from our group. “But that is tempered by the fact I am very excited for him to have this opportunity and as much as we would have loved for him to remain with us, we cannot stand in his way for what is a fantastic opportunity. “It is hard to undersell the role Pep played in helping us settle, educating us about football life in England and then contributing ideas to the progress and development of this team. “He has such a big football brain, but it’s his willingness to learn and absorb information and always look to improve and be better as a coach that makes him stand out. “Of course, one of his biggest legacies at LFC will be the development and integration into the first-team squad of so many young and exciting players. The role he played in making us aware of these players and then helping us get the best out of them will have a lasting impact here, beyond him leaving. “On the personal side, his wonderful family have also become part of our lives and we will miss them so much. “There will be no greater supporter of NEC Nijmegen in Liverpool than me and I know this is the very start of a long journey for Pep – one where he will undoubtedly become a success.” http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/286008-pepijn-lijnders-leaves-liverpool-fc
best of luck to the lad starting of his managerial career but its blown a huge hole in our coaching staff. maybe he will take 3/4 of our young lads on though ? silver lining and that
seems so. the guy clearly is free to talk to anyone formally now but hasn't agreed anything so you'd wonder who is being played off against who here. for all we knows its all agent talk using us and arsenal at patsys... to get whatever deal is being sought.
the link between kirkby and melwood is broken so what should now happen is another coach is promoted to do the role but that won't happen. Klopp recognised linders ability immediately and integrated him into the coaching team as a 4th wheel of his own inner circle. Klopp will just have to hire. gerrard is not ready to move from u18 up.
Everton's deal to sign Cenk Tosun from Besiktas is in danger of collapsing after an 11th-hour twist over the fee.
right now our 23s are coached by Neil Critchley the guy was hired into the academy a few years abck and is one of a very few in england with all the coaching badges including the fa elite badge he managed the u18s and when beale left he moved up to make room for gerrard Bascially i doubt klopp would pick him out to be the guy.
