That one isn't bad news he's part of our best possible centre back partnership. Even if we bought another CB in, we shouldn't be shifting our best options out until new players have settled. Improve the first team and the squad takes care of itself; Skrtel would be a excellent squad player.
It's very bad news because it means we're stuck with an average RCB for a few more years and our defence will continue to be *****. You mentioned 'improve the first team' - upgrading Skrtel will get a long way. Skrtel has a squad player is fine but he won't accept it and this is the last year we could get £10m + for him.
Senior member of the squad who i'm happy to stay for now. We may not have rated the likes of Johnson & Gerrard in the end as fans but you can't shift too many senior heads away at once otherwise when the going gets tough we look like a bunch of boys with no idea.
I think clubs have to be. In modern times of 25+ first team squad members not everyone is going to be happy because not everyone can play every week. There was never any room for sentiment anyway but there is even less now.
And Skrtel is one of those who causes panic and doesn't know how to handle situations. Along with Johnson, he was one of the biggest reasons for why we conceded 3 against Palace last year. For his age, he brings little leadership, organisation or composure. He would never have lasted this long at a big club.
A lot of rumours about us having talks with Lucas Digne. I'v not seen much of him. Is he talent or just hype?
Was comfortable until our billy big bollox attack thought 'lets get 10 and catch City's goal difference', unfortunately top level football doesn't work like that and the poor ****ers at the back were exposed and let down. Just another view on it.
So Skerts signs up, Gomez having a medical and Sterling on the laughing gas again, just a normal day at LFC
Liverpool hope to finalise a deal for Charlton teenager Joe Gomezlater this week, with the 18-year-old scheduled to undergo a medical on Friday, according to Press Association Sport. It is understood the Anfield club have triggered a £3.5m release clause in the England Under-19 international's contract which has paved the way for the move to be completed and he will meet with club officials on Merseyside on Friday. please log in to view this image lifted off bbc live new for gerrez. sell coates and put in another young lad into under age teams and see if they stick and pocket 500k. pity we lose 3 mil on transfer of coates but thats the way it went
