so teixteria and ilori not in training camp

official word is

"Liverpool duo Joao Carlos Teixeira and Tiago Ilori are hoping to take part in the Olympic Games in Brazil later this year.

The pair didn’t travel to Tenerife for the Reds’ warm weather training camp this week because they were invited to link up with the Portugal Under-23s squad.

Both Teixeira and Ilori are keen to represent their nation at the Olympics – meaning they would miss the start of the 2016/17 campaign.

The 16-team Olympic football tournament is scheduled to take place between August 4 and August 20.

It’s an under-23s competition with each team allowed a maximum of three overage players. Teixeira and Ilori are each classed as under-23 having only turned 23 since the start of 2016."

Real word is they are tosh and going this summer.
 
Joao Teixeira is out of contract this summer and looks increasingly unlikely to pen an extension. [HASHTAG]#lfc[/HASHTAG] (James Pearce)
 
Shame, probably too injury prone. Hope we can put a buy-back clause in, so that if he does overcome and become a good player we can get him back for a decent price.

Yeah I had hopes for him. Ah well, I have faith in Klopp and I'm sure he'll bring in some quality defenders. Sule and Tah are on our radar apparently.
 
the guy has not got the physical attributes for prem. simple.

He's fast, very injury prone but talented but if you are lightweight in the prem you are going to get destroyed.

Matip coming.. the two young lads you linked earlier in the week.. monsters. klopp gets it.

If (and it's a big If) we get Sule and Tah, then that will pave the way for another exit IMO.

Sakho, Matip, Tah, Sule and Gomez.

Is there any need for Skrtel or Lovren?
 
dubt we'd get both.. not impossible as houllier bought two when we expected one but we will see.

Sule plays for Hoffenheim and I think he has a small release clause if they are relegated. Even then, I don't think they'll command too much money.

Tah will cost quite a bit though. But both are worth is - we could build our defence around them for years.

both young, boht making a big step up.. Just taking both would sound like a risk.
