That's shit news. Kiss £15m good bye. Why didn't Bournemouth want him?
1. I have never ever seen you say that about Lallana.Why do people even care.... a player that never plays for us get injured. Better him than Salah...
1. I have never ever seen you say that about Lallana.
2. This guy who supposedly never plays for us, used to play every game before his back injury.
So why not sell him and let him break down at Crystal Palace or whatever. Fucking £10 mill looks great right about now.Klopp seemingly had no intention of relying on Clyne for anything this season. Was that going to change this season?
I guess it's a case of either using Gomez or giving Hoever (seems to have had a massive growth spurt since he got a first team shot last year).
The money would have possibly helped us in signing someone else. Now, he's just another free transfer like Moreno, Can and Sturridge. Next year, Clyne and Lallana will leave for free as well. Let's say we sold Moreno, Sturridge, Clyne and Lallana last season. How much would we have gotten? At least £50 mill would be my estimate. Now we get zero and Klopp saying we cant afford any big money signing.Well I never said anything about Lallana. I notice that Klopp fancy Lallana and that frustrate me a little as I don’t believe he will be able to play enough to get into the form he was a few years back.
But crying over Clyne, who Klopp tried to sell last year is waste of energy. He will not play 5 more Liverpool game in his career. So people start crying over lost money instead. That comes from fans who saw their club sign world record defender and goalie within 6 months. It is like saying "I have everything but it just isn't enough."

It looks like we played hardball and it blew up in our face.

Robbo and Shaq signings are very rare. Yeah I'm well aware of the fact that it will save us some money in wages later but still, selling them would have meant saving wages and getting a decent fee.Don’t let it keep you awake mate. We did the same with Matip, but forked out a zillion too much on Markovic. United fans would love to give away Sanchez for free but clubs cant afford the wages anyway. Klopp would never boast about what we can afford. We will save 200k a week when Clyne and Lallanas contract run out. The business part of footie is what it is. Robertson was not a big money signing like Moreno was he?
No it was a classic cartoon black bomb with string hanging out of it but it was painted like a 8-ball. Fooled me...Were the balls made of trinitrotoluene? Who approved that kind of equipment?

Oh well, nothing we can do about it now.
Holding out for a higher price for Clyne is not what caused him to get injured. That was just misfortune. Of course £10m looks attractive in hindsight, but you don't have hindsight before the event, do you? Personally, I'd rather take the relatively insignificant hit on the Clyne trasfer and continue to build our reputation as a club that won't be taken for a ride, than move to a policy where we start valuing our utility players based on the small chance that they might get injured in the final year of their contracts.So why not sell him and let him break down at Crystal Palace or whatever.

Of course it wasn't but Clyne has had a few injuries the past two seasons, he was also in his last year. There must have been suitors before pre season started.Holding out for a higher price for Clyne is not what caused him to get injured. That was just misfortune.
