I blame Boehly from the start for signing him for insane money (given his age and decline) and salary

I also fully admit (always did) that we are contractually obligated to pay Sterling

but there is nothing irrational about keeping him away from the rest of the team

 

yes but you dont need to talk in that way about sterling

You need to have more sense when you're posting

just because you do not like it does not mean it is irrational

and I will post what I want, within the bounds of TC TOS

• Liverpool will not make a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in January. The Reds failed in a £35m move for the 25-year-old England international last week and would only sign him now when his contract comes to an end next summer. (Times)

IF Penders fails to become viable and we still refuse to upgrade then we are in serious trouble I fear at GKer.

It isn't like there are even many options left now.

Diogo Costa 
Mike Maignan    
Guillaume Restes    
 

and three 30-somethings bridge (to Penders) players

Jan Oblak   
Emiliano Martinez    
Alisson    (IF he leaves Pool next summer)

 

Not 100 per cent sold on Zion Suzuki  

Kobel is poor with his feet

I watch Seria A and from what i seen of Mike Magnain, sorry we need someone much better than him, his probably on same level as our keepers.

I didn't say do not pay him. We have to. But I see no reason for him to be around the club facilities. 

 His contract includes an obligation to keep himself football fit and therefore implies a responsibility on CFC to provide him with facilities and opportunities to do that. My reply was carefully worded.

I also, if the only buy-out the he will accept is 100 per cent of what we owe him (and the prick could then 'double dip' on his pay packet for the next 2 years, as his new club would also pay him a salary), then I say just let him rot until July 2027.

Not only that, he will then almost certainly also be entitled to a share in any bonuses earned by the first team squad over the next two seasons. I say 'almost certainly' since specific clauses we can't know about may restrict his eligibility for bonuses. I just doubt that a player in so strong a bargaining position as to command a ridiculously large transfer fee and a monster contract would then fail to negotiate automatic inclusion in any bonus pay outs. In all probability CFC would aim to include a one-off payment in any settlement in leu of future bonus entitlement.

Guessing they are confident he has chosen them and believe that they can get him for free in next summer's window.

We should then go for him in January. For 35 million or less is a no brainer.

IDK if he want to join us, tbh

I believe that Marc has told CFC  that he is not interested in returning the club.

In January he will have 6 months left from his contract.

Think he will stay(for WC at least) and drop for free next year.

we could put a cheeky bid in, in January, IF (big if) Guehi would agree to come back here, which, based off multiple other posters' replies, seems to not be the case 😞

yes, I have seen that too

not sure what team he would chose

I would go with Real, but I am not privy to Guehi's thinking on the choice
