Did you not see him in the final and in the last month or so? Easily best defender at that time and he has the legs to keep up and outpace the CF in the final over long distance.

Would have def given him a 1 year extension as a bit part player, and as saint says seems to be a great influence in and around the squad.
He might have been offered one, but wanted the kind of dosh he can no doubt command from the MLS, the UAE or China....

ture. i'm sure he will head off someplace where tax for image rights is zero for a year... its the done thing now.

why should LFc pay a guy to smile and joke about the dressing room... he has to be able to play and his time is clearly something thats in the past.

It just says it all about how poor we are now... in the past guys who could not run were thanked for their service. now we are bricking it about experience.

He's decent back up, but his wages mean he's ****ing expensive back up.

well..... in firaness he was only on 65k last year

the average wage i nthe prem will have to be 50k+ this summer it think... if we were offered 50k would it be expensive...

The thing we've seen is given a regular berth he got himself fit. but i can remember him coming in to cups games and being totally unfit and stiff legged then getting injured. Back up has to be actually able to play

LFC have Lovern, sahko, matip... we only need one more and we've not shifted skertl. We will have gomez and wisdom will be back... (some will leave)

My view is the reality is we are not in europe so we might have only 40 games to play this year... worst case.... we really don't need him.
 
Let's be realistic

Toure got us out of a hole several times last season when we had issues for various reasons with what should've been starting CBs

At times he rolled back the years and looked pretty formidable but he was never going to be in Klopp's long term thinking, quite rightly, at 35 he's very much not the future

For all his great turns though it was obvious he is leggy and not the most mobile although he made some great stops and tackles after running back or on the stretch this obviously isn't something he could do week in week out; his best attributes were his brain, experience and his positioning but if, as happened, a quick player out-foxed him or left him standing there was a pretty big hole opened up between our back line and Mignolet

Sure he might've been a source of positivity and togetherness in the dressing room but it's down to some of the main players in the squad to take that role now, either players already at the club or new ones eventually, or maybe Klopp feels that that's his job knowing his personality

'Only' lol

It's still about £3.75m when you add in FSC's

He'd have barely played last season barring injury and as you say many less games to factor in for next season. He'd have been a spare part.

Its about time that some "senior players" stood up and acted like senior players by taking responsibility. see henderson, lallana etc.. they should be setting the standard not hiding like the big final.

Toure can't do that from the sideline. we need it on the pitch.
