Former players and managers - general discussion

I can’t swim. I can’t drive, either. I was going to learn to drive, but what if I crash into a lake?

I’m glad he’s finally happy and healthy again after that stabbing, which really knocked his career. I remember reading he was struggling both mentally and physically to get going again.

Decent interview with him here after he signed a new contract with Warrington the other day.

Thats a shame he looked a decent player

Hmmm…

And so we say goodbye to Oviemuno Dominic Ejaria, otherwise known as Ovie, a player that’s conjured up a whole host of emotions and feelings since day one at the club. It’s rare for a player to have had such majestic highs but, ultimately, sunk so low.

Sadly, those highs were few but they shone ever so bright, brighter than many players could ever hope for. At worst, he’s culpable for holding the club hostage when it needed money the most. The oft-used phrase “stealing a living” pretty much sums up what he has done in the last couple of seasons, give or take. Unfortunately, there was a lot of taking and not enough giving.

Much like many other enigmatic stars of the past, he loosely fits that kind of mould. A joyous wizard with the ball at his feet, but for reasons best known to himself, a baffling anomaly on the flipside.

Book Signing in Liverpool City Centre…

Roberto Firmino to make Liverpool return in January after Saudi Arabia transfer

Roberto Firmino is set to make a return to Liverpool - as he’ll be back in the city in a matter of weeks.

The striker enjoyed a brilliant eight years at Anfield. Signing from Hoffenheim in 2015, he went on to score 11 goals in 362 appearances for the Reds and forged a deadly attacking triumvirate with Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. With the trio spearheading the front line, Liverpool won six major trophies which included the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League a year later. Jurgen Klopp’s side also finished runners-up in the Champions League and Premier League on two occasions respectively.

However, Firmino opted to bring an end to his Anfield career last summer. He turned down a new contract and instead decided to join Saudi Pro League outfit Al Ahli on a free transfer.

Regardless, the Brazilian is still adored by Kopites having etched himself into club folklore. And now supporters will get the chance to meet Firmino when he’s back in Liverpool in January.

The forward has released his memoir “Si Senor - My Liverpool Years” where he relives his time on Merseyside. Firmino will be appearing at Waterstones in Liverpool City Centre on Friday 5 January. Fans can meet the Liverpool legend, with tickets costing £22 which includes a copy of Si Senor - although all tickets are now sold out.

Solanke being touted for a big money move.

Liverpool retain a 20% sell-on clause in addition to the 19m.

Hopefully , Bournemouth flog him off for 60-70m so that we can “John, where’s the solanke money?”

Do we have a buy back clause for quite cheap I think I heard

I think it’s a first refusal option. But the ship has sailed for Solanke with us.
