No not really, as far as I understand you don't want a player here who doesn't want to play for the club but f**k the owners because Klopp gave the ok to sell him now. Is that about right?
How do you know for certain klopp sanctioned the move? You don't, do you?
Are you really that naive to completely refuse to believe that it's a possibility that the sale was down to FSG?
You know, the same owners who have sold to buy since day one while being here?
FSG own the club and when the blame game comes around they're happy for the manager to take the flack.
Do you really think our manager is going to come out to the press and blast the owners? His employers? It's not going to happen is it? The second he does that he will lose his job and then other clubs will be afraid to appoint him for that reason. Would you publicly criticise your employer?
Brendan has spoken since leaving about the restraints in place and just look how they treated Kenny, a club legend. Our biggest legend. I believe it's no different now.
If klopp didn't want coutinho then he would have put him with the kids or even forced him to train alone. But he didn't. He brought him back into HIS team and what's more even made him captain. That doesn't seem like a guy who wants shut of a player asap.
I'm seeing now that the last two years Liverpools net spend is -34m which is the lowest in the league. Swansea are second lowest with -19m. But you keep telling yourself that FSG are wonderful and they're at no fault at all for our failure to win any other trophies than a lousy league cup during their ownership. It's all klopps fault.
I'm not happy about him going now. Some fans are and some aren't. I'm one of those who isnt. Whether you're right or I'm right it doesn't matter. Whoevers decision it was to let him go now was a shocking one and we look like idiots in the transfer market yet again.
It's even been leaked today that we lowered our original asking price just to get the deal done. Strange eh? If that's true then I wonder why we were so desperate to get rid of him now but not in August? Maybe it has something to do with a big Dutch bloke we've just signed.
So it's quite simple what I'm saying. Coutinho didn't want to be here and his behaviour was appalling. Therefore he needed F***ing off. But not now. He should have stayed until May and then we should have sold him for every penny we could get - hoped for a bidding war perhaps.
Even if we get a replacement in before the window closes (which I don't think we will btw), there is no guarantee they will hit the ground running the way salah did. They might take time to settle in and gel. They could even be a complete flop you just don't know. At least with Phil we all knew what we had...a world class player on our books.
To sell him mid season is just complete and utter madness.
