The Unreliable Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 2)

Will it? I think the guy tweeting it will suffer the most fall out - i havent seen anything to implicate Bayern directly?

I’d love it if this was just an in-joke between Klopp and ManĆ© solely to troll Bayern.

Yeah I’m guessing he will be hung, drawn and quartered like the other solitary time someone was less than 100% truthful on twitter. Poor bastard.

Just thinking if it’s coming from a journalist with connections at Bayern, I’m guessing there’s a good chance he got the intel from the club. So why make it a thing now, a couple of days before the final, if there’s nothing in it…?

Why discuss it now, 90 minutes before the biggest game of the season?

Don’t know, something to do. I’m nervous.

Because it will get more attention and views now of course…

Now we wait for the Mane news.

Well, we’re waiting Sadio.

I reckon Sadio has signed a new deal. He’s a cracking player and I hope so. Looks like Mo will wind his deal down, so we need at least one of them to sign a new deal.

Jota, Diaz and Carvalho evolves the group. Then when Mo goes we will get another top striker. That’s how I see it.

I would not be opposed to bringing Firmino back. He’s not the same player he was three years ago, but he’s got certain qualities that I believe are underappreciated in big games and separate him from everyone else - he plays with confidence seemingly always, and he links up Mane and Salah better than anyone currently in the forward rotation.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if he took a discount to stay, too. He could probably earn more somewhere else, but he likes it in Red.

I can see why we’d be interested in Kane, our front line has a major problem with keeping possession unless Bobby plays. Fine for 97% of games but for the very best teams? You can’t keep fluffing your lines, need to be ruthless when it counts.

The problems with Kane are his price tag and general unlikeable demeanour.

As a footballer he is outstanding and would improve our front line without a doubt.

Milner saying that we don’t sign knobheads pretty much ends the Kane rumours.

Aye, easily forgiven if he fires us to trophies, we are a fickle bunch.

Think it took 4 years of him being one the top scorers in the league for me to begrudgingly say he’s a decent player!

Kane is a knobhead but he is a brilliant 9/10. The criticism of Firmino is that he is not clinical enough and the criticism of Jota is that he doesn’t really help in the build up or hold the ball up well. Kane is a hybrid of both.

Looks like Mane is leaving from the reports today so it will be interesting to see what type of forward we look to bring in.

I hope we don’t just say - we’ve got Diaz, no need to replace ManĆ©. That would be suicidal.

I’d actually say it was actually part of our approach to try risky things with the ball as we were so confident in our ability to win it back quickly that losing the ball and then turning it over again so quickly is actually a viable way to create openings. When we’re not quite as aggressive and on the front foot as we were 3 years ago or so it means the pressure sustain is a bit less sustaining…and bit less suffocating.

Imagine Salah and Kane going for the assist/golden boot next season.

Not a single pass shared between them :rofl:

Penalties would be fun.

I think we sign two a forward player (but not nesscary in Mane’s slot) and a Midfielder.
