The Unreliable Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 1)

Agreed and funny you should say that Prolix, I read that entire passage in Klopps voice. Was thinking to myself after, very much sounded similar to how he speaks on players.

@Prolix

Simeone speaks a lot like Klopp.

There is a difference though. Klopp would never use “we” to speak about himself…

[Flobs]

Sounds like Saul is Milner, just not possible imo.

[Draexnael]

I doubt Saul is on our list, I just don’t see us matching his wages which are reported around £205k a week.

[WeeJoe]

Klopp also likes players who’s are flexible and can play different positions, which it seems him and his advisors aren’t up for anymore

@Flobs

What?
If we wanted him we could pay more with nice bonuses as well. It’s not like he’s only 16. In fact he sounds like Milner so why not pay him like Milner is paid?
So if we are interested all it depends on is how far up the ‘short list’ he is, no?

But Milner isn’t paid anywhere near that. Only Salah, VvD and Alisson are on those kind of wages.

Also, players who sign on a free, like Milner did, tend to be paid higher wages than they would be if the club had had to pay to sign them.

Where’s the evidence for that?

The Simeone quotes, roughly 10 posts above yours, posted 8hrs ago

@rupzzz

"I have spoken with him and we cannot put aside the rumours and what is talked about.

If you stay, you work as you have always done and if you leave, the door will be open in the best way

We have been together for eight years, I think we gave him everything we had as a coach and he as a footballer

If he has to leave, a big hug, we wish him the best and continue being friends, as always. Either to Barcelona or elsewhere.

Last season he spoke with the club, with us about his needs and what he spoke about the option of having a place on the field where he feels more important

And I consider that Saúl became Saúl by playing everywhere. He or many of those around him see it as something negative.

He is very important for Atletico because he can play as a full-back, right-wing, midfielder.

He gives us a lot of situations to be able to count on him.

Even without having a season at his best, we can count on him.

He is a player who in that version and playing how the coach needs, performs very well."

[norwegian_wood]

I don’t think versatility or him feeling misused would be an issue at Liverpool. Klopp wouldn’t use him at full back, he’d play in midfield. Saul could play all three midfield roles, so that’s versatile enough.

I wasn’t axking about Simeone or Saul.

You can’t seriously have been challenging the contention that Klopp likes players who are flexible…

Ok, maybe you can!

[Flobs]

Who has come in under Klopp with a reputation of being versatile?

Edit: I wasn’t challenging I was asking for proof!
There’s also the second part of the OP’s statement to consider!

[Aurelio]

Allison, Done.

[Draexnael]

You appear to be turning into eddie as the resident pedant, its a bad look.

We have a wage structure, adding £205k to that (double what Gini was on who he is replacing) doesn’t sound like something we’d do based on the fact we aren’t willing to pay Henderson a currently playing legendary captain what he wants.

[Iftikhar]

Reading the post by @rupzzz , two things stands out;

1. Only one club was named, maybe that’s indicative.
2. Saul would be looking for a bit of clarity about his role on the field.

[WeeJoe]

I’ve no idea what you’re asking for

[Kopstar]

@Flobs

@WeeJoe

What evidence is there for this statement?

@WeeJoe

which it seems him and his advisors aren’t up for anymore

What evidence is there for this statement?

1. Really? Have you not been paying attention for the last six years?

2. The quotes from Simeone that have been posted twice now, once in direct response to your earlier query.

[anon27364116]

I’d be more interested if there’s any evidence for a manager that specifically doesn’t like flexible players.

[Kopstar]

@anon27364116

I’d be more interested if there’s any evidence for a manager that specifically doesn’t like flexible players.

I was going to say this too but there are some who like players who are specialists with defined roles but they’re a small group of which Klopp certainly isn’t part.

[WeeJoe]

@Kopstar has now answered these 3 times, with information that I think you know anyway. I’m starting to think you’re a WUM

Give it a rest now. This is really bad form from you.
