They can take Pep back too while they’re at it.

No chance he would go back there - they got no money for fullbacks

I know its not exactly the same but I didn’t choose the University my Dad wanted me to, I didn’t choose a job my Dad wanted me to do and I don’t ask my Dad for advice about what to do next in life.

But if my employer approached me to tell my Dad to stop posting that he wishes I was working at Google instead then I’d probably think if that company was one I really want to be at.

His Dad can say whatever he wants, its irrelevant.

It’s not even remotely the same thing and the comparison is unhelpful.

What part of Edwards and/or Hughes telling his Dad to shut the fuck up is supposed to convince Diaz to commit his future to us?

Nothing, but LFC is a global brand with corporate communication experts working on presenting a message of unity and commitment to achieving success. Everyone needs to be singing from the same hymn sheet.
You may not like it, but it’s true. If Diaz wants desperately to go and play in Spain that’s fine, but right now, and until the last day of the season, his whole focus should be on performing his best for his current team, manager and fans. It’s a huge task with very little margin for error.

I just don’t see any benefit to that conversation. I expect like our reaction to media rumours that ā€œTrent has told his mates he wants to move to Madridā€ or whatever that completely ignoring it is the path the club will take.

You can tell Diaz to keep his head in the game, but you can’t try and control his Dad. He’s allowed to say whatever he likes, even if it breaks our little daydream that everyone in South America grows up dreaming of playing for Liverpool over Real Madrid.

If Diaz wants to leave , he can leave for the obligatory 120M + 80M Barca tax. Put up the money or shut up. I think he’s a fine player but he isn’t Suarez to feel gutted about.

We can’t ā€˜stop him’ but we can ensure that he is not livin’ large at the ground and that Luis knows he’s a fucking embarrassment. Certainly can’t expect to be getting private jets out from Columbia or getting help staying in UK if he can’t at least STFU about wanting to leave.

If Luis Dad is saying stuff in public then he is almost certainly saying the same thing in private. There is no guarantee that he would listen to him in either scenario.

not a garuntee though is it…

i get Sweetings angle, but to be honest, a little chat in Luis ear might be beneficial…maybe he’ll respect a bit of hard rules…

ā€˜you maybe Luis Diaz, but we are LFC, theres a line, and your father has crossed it’

i could respect that if i was Luis.

A little chat in his ear and calling his dad an embarrassment, kicking him out of the ground, and retracting support we’ve offered the family are two different things.

I’m in the ā€˜little chat’ camp by the way.

you say tomato…

all good mate, free to do what you want and all that, but this threads about Luis Diaz…

Hilarious

Otherwise known as the masculinity thread, Craig’s baby.
