Would be happy to get half of what we paid just to get him off the wage bill. Doubt we will though.

It feels that way. Klopp has given him ample time and accommodated him for long in the hope that heâll be able play in a string of games. But then some niggle comes up. Rinse and repeat.
With Ox now ready to start playing more, maybe itâll give Keita a kick up the metaphorical backside to realize that his career is starting to resemble a zombie walking, and needs to do something about it.

I donât see how that helps. It isnât his fault he canât get fit. He isnât continually looking for a cheeky sickie.
Iâm sure the lad want to play football.

⌠until he gets injured again. The two of them should be moved on , but it wonât happen. Klopp is loyal to a fault.
Iâm confused on your point about Jurgenâs loyalty. When should he have sold Ox and Keita? Or do you mean sell them now during a pandemic when demand and supply curves might be parallel lines?

He wonât move to sell them , thatâs my point.
Ox should have never been given a new improved contract when he hadnât even recovered from his very serious injury , and there was no guarantee that he ever would regain full fitness or be the player he once was. Both of which appear to have happened.
Keita is an enigma , and even Klopp seems exasperated with his fitness issues now , but I still donât expect him to give up on him. Itâs just not his style.
Thatâs what I meant by being loyal to a fault.

Is there no kind of medical test they can do to see whoâs more/least likely to have constant muscle problems or is that a stupid fucking question.

Dunk em in tea I say. If theyâd done that with Naby as part of the medical they woulda correctly diagnosed him as a rich tea.
Need more ginger nuts and nobs

It is equivalent to burning a woman to see if sheâs a witch. If she dies then you got it wrong.

Got it. Thank you. I thought they had given Ox a year to recover before giving the new contract and probably made a well educated bet on his progress. But maybe I have that wrong.
As for Naby, I have no idea whether JĂźrgen will sell him or not. I canât imagine itâs easy to. Maybe you have a clearing price in mind or maybe itâs sell at all costs to buy another piece. Although Iâm also not sure itâs easy to predict the replacement that we bring in will stay healthyâŚ
Unless, of course, @Scott.Jones wins the Nobel Prize in medicine.

Which is why you put them in water to see if they float.

I happen to be a big fan of Naby myself. Itâs just so frustrating to see him injured all the time. And like somebody else has already mentioned , heâs not even picking up injuries in matches itâs all happening in training. If the medical team hasnât been able to prevent the constant re-occurences thus far then you have to wonder if they ever will. It would be a shame to just watch him fade away and the question has to be asked ; is his body is up to the rigours of playing in a Klopp team ? The evidence suggests not.

Remember when Klopp said âwe wonât sell Sturridge because it will be too expensive to replace himâ.
Thatâs why we wonât sell Naby or Ox.
Oh, and with Sturridge that was before Covid fucked up our finances.

If they sneaked him out of the back door tonight it would be months before I realized he was gone, if ever. I wish him all the best but Iâd like him out of Anfield asap.

Now Jurgen has brought in his old medical pal, the clock has started ticking with Keita and LFC me thinksâŚ!
If this guy canât keep him fit from the niggles and muscle spasms, Keita may as well start ordering his Guinness in Anfields Last Chance Saloon.!
Guinness because he is Guinean?
