De Bruyne?
Oh fuck off. We don’t need that ginger prick
He grew up a Liverpool fan.
If the wage demands aren’t exorbitant, and he’s happy to be a rotational option at his age, I’d sign him in a heartbeat.

Bruyne is boss. 
Szobo could sit and learn a bit how to be creative, other than hitting top speed sprints and knuckle shots, knuckle passes, knuckle handing the remote control to his wife, knuckle everything.
Not gonna happen though.
Rogers is very interesting, but I don’t see us going (big) for him at this moment.

I hope if we do get him people will learn how to spell his name instead of associating him with that other not-so-good person…
It’s Rogers.

Na. If we think his legs are upto a one year contract on manageable wages. Take him in. He’s got a killer setpiece in him. Will tally up the assists and make the team improve by his presence.
Plus he’s a boyhood Liverpool fan and hopefully he feels the need to atone for the sins committed in the past

Pedantic is what people who are wrong accuse people who are right of being.

I don’t think there is even the slightest chance that we are interested in De Bruyne. He looks physically done - and he was reportedly asking Man City for higher wages than we gave to Salah.

He has a terrible time of it for the past 2 seasons, but especially this season the times Pep has has relented and brought him back into the side he has looked their best player and made a mockery of the decision to keep him on the bench so often while they struggled.

According to him they never even got far enough to discuss terms, it was just a unilateral decision from City to tell him they would not be offering him anything.

De Bruyne has been a great player but that’s behind him now. He still has quality and will be able to show it in fits and starts, but that will diminish as his physical decline toward retirement continues. He won’t be enough of a factor at the sharp end of the Premier League to be of interest to us, and definitely not for the wages.
I get the slight intrigue, as we’ve all seen his quality, but it’s a clear no for me.
We have old players of very high quality in VVd and Salah who are both still in much better physical condition than De Bruyne. What the side needs - assuming the footballing quality is there - is an injection of pace and physical ability.
PSG sort of looked like the future template to me. They can all play. They were all good on the ball. They have a very good coach at the helm. The young age of the side gives years of potential development in front of it. And there was plenty of pace and power all over the park. I’m not suggesting an exact facsimile for Slot’s Liverpool, as every side is unique. But that’s the sort of direction the game at the very highest level is taking.

Taking him would be almost as unthinkable as taking a Utd player. It ain’t happening.
Think of Strachan joining Leeds and sticking his finger in Fergie’s eye

If it hasn’t worked out for Darwin at LFC… not sure if we, as a club are 100% culpable for the manner his time here pathetically unfolded.
This is a guy who had the curious footballing world, and a loyal fanbase wanting him to become the best…
If he leaves us in the summer, he goes out with a whimper, and a silenced hush from all those fans that know he has wasted his time here… It could have been so different, but he most certainly will not be endorsing the annals of club history as a player that succeeded in winning the fanbase over..
Players would be better staying away from social media.
