He’s good but needs to be more consistent. The performance against City should be the norm but it isn’t.

He does have potential to become a quality midfielder which is why we need to keep him.

We must remember that he’s only turned 24 and had to play in a number of positions due to his versatility. Finally, he’s getting a run at number 6 and he’s put in some very good performances.

He should focus purely on screening and defending, and I think once we have the likes of Keita and another, he doesn’t need to worry about creating.

If he were to leave, it’s not a massive loss but still a loss and even worse if he goes on a free.

I agree with the club about not putting a release clause because it sets a dangerous precedent for potential new signings and existing renewals. However, given how players can easily force moves with and without release clause, it could become the norm and we may have to.

This is the other thing. Players can force clubs to sell anyway now it seems, but if we insert a release clause we an turn around to any club and say his release clause is £50m pay up or go home. If can kicks up a fuss just say to him you signed it, you knew it was there, if that club really wanted you then they’d pay it wouldn’t they? If they don’t maybe they don’t rate you that highly like we do etc

Is the release clause inserted for the benefit of the player or agent?

Rather not take advice from savage.

Thanks for the comedy though dribs, cheered me up.

Jack Butland has conceded more goals than any goalkeeper in the premiership this season.

Liverpool have been told that it will take more than €80m (£71m) to prise Suso away from AC Milan this month.

We not take him on loan

English players are vastly over rated.

When was last time we had a decent English keeper.

I'm thinking seamen, before that Shilton and clemence.

Southall was Welsh wasn't he?

Klopp will buy a goalkeeper this summer and Roma’s Alisson is a target for Liverpool, says @_pauljoyce

 

[Jimmy Squarefoot]

Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak is another potential candidate, although the Slovenian has a €100 million (about £89 million) buy-out clause. (Paul Joyce)

 

[jenners04]

This Paul Joyce sounds like he hasn't a fecking clue.

 

[SIR_KENNY_KLOPP_KING]

He doesn’t have acceleration but he is fast. Can easily power past (and through) players.

Yes, agreed. He's powerful.

Alisson is valued at around £44m - his value is likely to soar if he has a good World Cup.

And Roma will want to get as much as possible after we grabbed a bargain with Salah.

 

[BobbyD]

Not when AOC plays. AOC takes the majority if he's playing.

saw him taking them when you guys were playing everton. They were milner-esque

What's the record for a GK? I thought that it was Ederson at City for around £35m? Might be wrong. Klopp referred to the ratio between players when we bought VvD. A top defender = half the price of a top attacker.

What would a top keeper be as a % to a top defender? Prior to VvD, let's say Ederson at £35m and the top defender let's say Walker at £50m. (GK = 75% of the defender)

Now that the defender price is £75m, by using the same ratio, a top GK will cost us £56m. Anything less (as long as they are actually a top keeper!) is good.

It's all f#cking madness mind....

 

[BobbyD]

Yeah exactly.

@BobbyD questioning Greez about not watching games...

I think Bobby is secretly a Liverpool fan but he knows the grief he'll get for swapping clubs should he admit it on here!

I said salah might get more set pieces now (we were talking about coutinho leaving) then he had a dig about direct free kicks or something so i told greez salah has been taking corner set pieces on occasions, especially when couts hasn't played.

as for Pool, no thanks, i don't fancy becoming delusional and i actually prefer have a standman than an astro. We can give you ginger though

I think you'll find that he was a nobobby!

 

[saintanton]

I understand it from both sides, just difficult at the moment because if you put a 50m release clause in for example, that might be peanuts in 18 months the way things are going

Fairly certain that when Barca slapped £200m on Neymar they were thinking no-one will ever pay that.
The problem with all of this is that clubs will put in ever more prohibitive clauses, but at some point, some mega-rich club will pay it and this contributes to a rapid inflation once again.
