That's crazy, more than he's worth with the injury history and getting him off their salary burden.

First few words: "It became know as the game of shame"

That's hilarious, love it.

That's exactly the profile of player we will be looking at young, talented and not seeking mega wages. It'll probably not get us very far in the short term but if Rafa sticks around long term we may have a team with higher aspirations than just staying in the top flight.

There are no morals in ratings and profits man. In a capitalist society almost everything is forgiven, if you can grind some profit out of it. Look at the Mackems and Johnson, for example.

People will want for an injured player that has a good goal scoring record, look at us with Slimani. Worst case scenario, he goes down with an ACL, Broken leg or something and he's down long term, that would be a concern of course but not so rare it's not worth planning for. He could pick up a short to medium term injury though, worst case in that situation, someone will pick him up as a loan signing on deadline day based on the fact he'll be back within a month or two. At the end of the day I wouldn't be overly upset if we didn't sell him, especially if Rafa doesn't sign an extension.

maybe never because who gives a fuck what people do to their own bodies? When you are trying to discourage your own teenage daughter to get inked up, when all of her role models are it's kind of tough. The only thing that'll stop her I feel is the cost of it, she's going to need save that money for university.

It is absolutely ridiculous like, but honestly Millenniums and their Tats, when's it going to end ? The ones who are being "individualistic" now are the ones who stay tat free.

Is he really that good, not impressed personally, rather we kept Mitro.

I don't agree with that, goalscorers are so rare, Champo clubs will pay 15-20 mill for a proven source of goals, his goals were a massive part in moving them from mid table to promotion. All three of the relegated clubs have a need up top and should have the money to spend. You've also got to factor in his decent PL record and excellent international record, along with his age, PL clubs and foreign ones will be sniffing around. Even if you are right, Fulham will still be around after the World Cup is over, he'll be their number target, they will wait.

World Cups can have a huge effect on player's reputations. It's really not worth the risk in my view to ell before the tournament. Say for example he scores 5 or 6 goals in a great run for Serbia is seen as the main reason for them reaching the Semi's or whatever. He goes from a 20 million player to a 40 million one. We've been at the opposite end of this situation so many times, trying to buy players from awkward sellers. We need to be the awkward ones, ideally I would like to see him go aboard with a sell on clause built in. Fulham will want to get him cheap before the world cup, why make it easy for them ? Did they help us out last year with Cairney ?

I must admit I don't get the Pellegrini love in here, I'm not convinced he will be a huge success there. It's an OK appointment, but it's not going to change them into anything more than a mid table non entity, like the rest of us.

I hope we drag it out, in our best interest to wait till he performs at World Cup.

Considering his age, the position he plays in, his international record and his actual decent strike rate already in the PL. I think 20 million in today's market is undervaluing him. IMO we will struggle to find a player as valuable to our team up front as Fulham have if they buy him for that price. It's a crying shame Rafa doesn't rate him and the two just don't work together because this lad is going to come back and bite us in the bum.

Everton 25 million....yeah right https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sunday-gossip-everton-linked-25million-14711673

Rubbish. With Ox and Salah I think they win this. Although I do tend to agree it would have been a much closer game. Klopp does seem to come in 2nd a lot in his history, maybe it's just been luck, hell in Germany the whole league is geared towards Bayern winning it every year and for him to push them so hard for so long was very commendable. 2nd place though in this competition for that side is by no means a bottle job.

That's very brave of Karius to go over to the crowd like that. He's still crap like and the loss is totally on him.

So sick of Real Madrid winning this thing, so sick of Spanish clubs dominating in Europe, and I'm half Spanish.

Think Butland has found a new home after tonight.

His career is over now, at least in this kind of level.

Karius, ffs.

Showing Madrid fans overcome with emotion, ffs, yeah must be tough to follow a team with their trophy cabinet.

Hate Bale like, couldn't have happened to a worse person but outstanding goal. It's game over now like. Karius still very much the villain, it would be 1-1 now if it hadn't been for him.

Yes ! Come on Liverpool.

I thought Benzema was offside initially like, but the goal itself was fine.
