      Liverpool to sue Nike
      Jan 02, 2018 01:15:11 am
      Reports have emerged in Brazil, via ESPN, that Liverpool are to sue Nike for their indiscretion in revealing the (as yet) non-transfer. They claim the 'Reds' will demand an 'astronomical indemnification' from the American brand due to their 'carelessness'.

      Not too much else on this so far but thought it was worthy of it's own topic. Hope we do sue them, completely unprofessional of Nike and I would imagine Barca are at the centre of it all.

      Due to a bad translation from what I’ve read, they simply sourced a Bascombe article that just said we’d not sell for anything less than an astronomical fee.

      There's more chance of us issuing a letter of apology to Nike for not releasing their player quick enough than there is of us suing them.

      Let us also not forget that we prematurely announced the Dempsey transfer and had to apologize for that. Of course at least we apologized.

      :P Apart from his name, he was not a player for our standard :D

      We should sue them and get some money off them, why not.

      We should also be reporting Barca to UEFA claiming illegal approach. Whether or not we have proof is besides the point, it's time we played this game as well as they are.

      Why when we so clearly want to sell?

      Rhetoric is gone, as is Phil.

      He's already been told Liverpool's stance has not changed since last Summer, and even if we do sell, and I'll remind you cynics that all big clubs sell, Barca proof in point selling Neymar last Summer, we're under no obligation to sell to Barcelona and should only sell to the highest bidder and if the player doesn't like that then the player can choose to remain at Liverpool. Furthermore it's been reported that Barca want Griezmann but can't afford both him and Coutinho so if they sign the former, their pursuit will end, and I don't know about you but I'd sooner see Griezmann in a Barca shirt than a United shirt.

      We’re selling mate.

      Always were......only reason it wasn’t in the summer was because Jürgen put his foot down re a replacement.

      VVD and Keita were always the Cou money......

      If we’d got Naby for 17/18 he’d be gone already.

      Would we seriously be that stupid to bring in a CL cup tied player to replace Coutinho if he leaves this window? It just doesn't make sense from a sporting perspective, but financially...

      Keita won't be replacing Coutinho and he won't be replacing Henderson. He'll play more where Can or Gini play, in a box to box role.

      It does look like Phil will leave in the summer. The question is whether Jürgen sees Ox as his replacement at attacking mid (along with Lallana) with the front three of Mane, Bobby and Mo pretty well set.

      So I don't think we are likely to buy another attacking player, especially as we have Ojo looking good out on loan and despite the match thread critique here Monday, it seems Klopp is bullish on Solanke.

      If we buy any more, I would expect it to be a holding midfielder and possibly a goalkeeper - and both of these are more likely in the summer. I should add this could also be affected by Clyne's long-term prognosis. If he doesn't look likely to come back in the same form, we may be in for a right back (again, in the summer).

      Agree, but I'd prefer to see Greizeman in a barca shirt complete with nike swoosh and still have Li'l Phil with a Liverbird rubbing against his left nipple........

      I hope that this is true, they really should sue them because this with Coutinho is getting really dirty.
