First story is just stupidity. Its a piss poor effort at making a headline to push LFC on his contract talks. To mention man utd just shows how dumb it is.

Keita interview is more interesting. It shows he is motivated but it also shows how much of an adjustment it is for some players to come and how hard it is to integrate without the language skills to understand english (not the few scouse that are around melwood.) Hopefully he does progress in this and steps up as the season progresses

 

Worrayouonabout? You sayin Scousers don't talk proper like?

 

No i'm just saying theres not many keita needs to talk to at this point.

I'd not say TAA is like carragher or that theres a coach he needs to tell to calm down la.

 

Liverpool beginning to talk to Joe Gomez over a new contract. Discussions at early stage but club looking to reward his development.

Paul Joyce

 

and it would be a reward as its 3.5 years left on current deal so club wants him for life and to pay him what he's shown he can earn before city tap him.up

 

The way he is playing he is one of the best defenders in the league. Best to tie him down

 

And there's one man the club has to thank for him and it's one we treated poorly.

Sean o Driscoll immediately recommended the kid to Rodgers.

o Driscoll left England u19s for us and was a proper fully qualified coach. we sacked him and Rodgers after 3 months.

bit shabby when imo the club knew they wanted klopp.

so thanks to o'driscoll we have the best young English cb of the generation imo.

 

Quality Brod signing, deserves a new deal.

 

brod deserves **** all

 

Not as good as markovic ...

 

I seem to recall Jimmy absolutely savaging O'Driscoll despite him being the only actual uefa pro licence qualified coach we hired.

BTW this guy is now working in wolves academy. He's a coach not a manger but he gave us the best yuong CB in the country for an absolute steal for his short stay at anfield

IMO we treated him shabbily and he would stand up against any of the under age coaches we now employ in the academy.

Funny thing is.... jimmys never had a comment about any of our coaches in the academy level of any sort. @Jimmy Squarefoot .. your opinion please?

 

so if he is as good as you are making out, how come he is at wolves

 

Have you seen how Wolves are playing?

 

He had elite talent I’ll have you know.

 

no, i don't watch the academy of any club. i used to watch ours on lfctv.

what's that have to do with o driscoll?

 

he had elite something, but it wasn't talent

 

He was at england u19 level. we hired them then fired him.... so we ruined his chances with england.. at a time when others then got to go to tournaments and win. Then he took a job at walsall as manager and that didn't work out... clearly not a manager and not every coach is.

I might ask what the **** is worng with linders as he couldn't manage a team either but his sat on bench for us now and we are all happy about it.

The point is he is at least fully qualified as a coach and he did do us a big favour by recommending gomez but from day 1 he was hired jimmy was giving him abuse for no real reason bar he wasn't a big name.

I would contend we have far less qualified coaches working at our academy thats all.

 

probably nothing to be fair. Wolves are performing due to the agent/owner stealing many fine players for half nothing and builidng a prem team out of them.

neves, jimenez, patricio, moutinho, vinagre, gosalves..

 

Real Madrid are making a last-ditch attempt to make Mauricio Pochettino their manager as pressure grows on current incumbent Julen Lopetegui.
