Unless the club need the 20m to invest, don’t see much point in selling, unless he is also pushing for a move.

He still offers something, last season was disrupted by injuries but he gives us something else compared to the rest of our forward lines.

And if we move to a more 4231 formation like has been potentially hinted at, then he could play in that role behind Nunez centrally.

could be. there is now stronger evidence klopp is "thinking" on these types of things than in the past.

looking at what we have we would be asking firmino or elliott or keita or carvalho playing in that central advanced cm role so theres certainly options and we saw some of keita standing really advances last season leaving fabinho and thiago back there.

we however also saw trent continue on running into the middle so we were very very narrow at times. It will be interesting to see what happens there as the point of having a 9 is to play to him.
 
rumours that sepp van deb berg (useless ginger player) might be going on loan to Bournemouth (who still have not made our season net spend neutral by taking phillips.)

lets talk achieving things.

Wijnaldum, leaves on a free. we get 4th, no big deal. 25mil investment talks for nothing but he plays all season and we scrape 4th having the worst CB and CM injury crisis. We we sold him cos he wasn't going to sign then what?

Origi - leaves on a free. we win a couple trophies and have for the first time genuinely 6 forwards. he makes a small contribution

Even Can. 17/18 he decides he is off. he socred in cl play offs and got us through til we could sell ****inho and buy vvd. Seel him in the summer and who knows?

now firmino.

Lets just add this up. 10, 10, 10, 20. 50mil possible fees to just let them go but at what cost to the squad and achievements?

some major contributors and some not so much but every little part adds up doesn't it?

I'd rather shoot for trophies and say thanks at years end to firmino than see him go now without a proper replacement and maybe have injury issues or bedding in issues.

When did that happen? Can you see the future?

I think the summary of the season is in the persons last year of their contract. So it should be we won a couple trophies then origi left

we got 4th then Gini left.

rather than way Mito put it, makes ot seems like Gini left then we got 4th. Or origi left then we won 2 trophies

Shame to lose him, he's probably fallen down pecking order recently, but he's still a good plan B and injuries happen. We have better goal scorers but noone does exactly what he does better.

Wouldn’t say no one.. but he was vital cog for the last 5 years and was just as important as mane and Salah in that famous front 3. Think lfc fans and players very much appreciated him even if the outside world didn’t as much.

they wouldn’t have got as many goals without firmino that’s for sure.

however it seems klopp is trying to tweak things again (maybe because replacing firmino like for like is so hard) so his style is suddenly less vital for us.

I would, and did! He's not what he was a few years ago but still one of a kind

Klopp has described firmino and salah as midfielders as well so there is a huge combination of player, manager and fans together.

There is probably not many other clubs where a player could score as relatively few as firmino and be sung to the rafters every time he takes the field.

Not many clubs who would give the player that kind of patience when fans demand goals etc.
 
Kanes going no where. No one is gonna pay the money spurs want for someone that age.
