Do we know it wasn't offered to Gerrard? Like you say, he may have wanted to work with the youngsters which is a good place to start.
Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic looks set to spend another season way from Anfield, with the Reds lining up another loan spell for the Serbian midfielder.
TEAM NEWS: Liverpool will offer Divock Origi a new contract, with Klopp having been impressed by his attitude and strike rate, reckoning he can play a key role going forward. Matip and Milner will also be offered extensions on their current deals. [David Maddock]
Squad fairly well known then. GK Alisson. Kelleher & ? RB: taa, gomez... ki coming up next jan/feb LB: Robertson, milner reserve option RCB: Gomez, Matip, Lovren LCB: vvd, lovren option. no 6: fabinho, wijnaldum no 8: henderson, milner, No 8: ox, keita 9: firmino, Brewster LF: Mane, origi RF: salah, Shaqiri Mingolet going will decide something. LB gap CM gap when lallana goes (hopefully, he needs to) could be jones. we might give him a go next year. forward option. just one little bit of extra quality needed You could buy 3 or 4.. you could buy nobody. in the end take out one of the front 3 for 3 months and the stark reality hit home. Ki, Jones and brewster need minutes and patience not pressure. Deffo buy 1 CM and one forward and see about LB slot imo.

Manchester United and Barcelona were considered favourites to sign the 19-year-old centre-back. However, De Ligt could soon be joining his Dutch colleague Virgil van Dijk at Anfield. please log in to view this image

Jurgen Klopp has also responded to the transfer speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah. There is a frenzy in Spain with reports linking the Egyptian star with a move to Real Madrid, after a rumoured row with his manager. Is has been claimed Salah is ready to hand in a transfer request having ended the season on a high by winning the club’s sixth Champions League title. But Klopp has no fears over Salah, or any of his key stars, leaving Anfield. He told German newspaper BILD: “I think the players know what an extraordinary club they're playing for, so I'm not worried about that.” please log in to view this image
Sounds like Real (or at least the Spanish press) are worried the Hazard deal might not go ahead. Salah going nowhere
Like story that Madrid are worried about competition form Bayern and united are going to go in for Salah. Have to laugh, in what world would 1) united try and attempt to sign Salah, 2) we do any kind of business with them, and 3) he want to go there
"Liverpool blow as Mohamed Salah future comments prompt Man Utd into exploring transfer LIVERPOOL are facing a fight to keep Mohamed Salah with Manchester United interested into challenging Real Madrid for a potential transfer, reports claim." In the words of Carra,
IF he did want to go i would happily sell him £220 million Ford thought the grass was greener and it may be but would not worry if Salah went anywhere.
It would be hard to replace Salah, but honestly, just like Courinho and Suarez before him... He may be a fantastic player, but I think our system is right for him. If he left he would still have a good career but I don't think he would play as well elsewhere.
So Orgy has been offered new contract. Shaq has said he's not leaving. Still no contract for Studge... With Orgy and Shaq staying on next year I guess Studge has no hope whatsoever of remaining.
