Sakho

[Hansern]

Twitterati saying he's close to joining Sunderland on loan

 

[darkstarexodus]

I just remembered about Ilori after seeing LFC's latest instagram post.

Has he gotten a runout in the reserves yet?

 

[Squiggles]

We shouldn't be surprised.

Anything that makes it more likely for Lucas Leiva to stay at Liverpool club will almost always happen.

 

[Hansern]

Sakho must have done something else that hasnt been reported in the media.

Sakho must have done something else that hasnt been reported in the media.

I thought at first many were claiming the media reports were exaggerated, and the real reason he was sent home from pre-season was to treat his injury?

Now they've been underplaying it, and there's MORE nefarious misdemeanours that have been unreported.

Or maybe it's all happened exactly as reported, and Klopp just doesn't rate him, or like him.

 

[Judge Jules]

He had some very complimentary things to say about Sakho when he first arrived, so I don't think it's as simple as that last bit.

However, the combo of Sakho's reported behaviour on tour and the previous fat-burner business would be enough to naff many managers off.

Why would you turn down a move to West Brom only to then go to Sunderland?

Was the West Brom offer reported by anyone decent?

Its the Moyes factor !!!

Looks done to Sunderland on loan...

If he was a brilliant, reliable defender, I'm sure Klopp would have made some allowances.

Anyway, I'm no fan of Sakho, never have been, so I'm not that arsed, but an £18m defender being set on loan when our own resources are so sparse does seem another odd Klopp decision.

Lucas will be the 4th/5th CB this season.
I'm guessing Klopp sees it as this;

Matip, Lovren, Klavan, Gomez, Lucas

Clyne, Arnold, Milner, Gomez right back

Milner, Moreno, Gomez left back

Impressive!

 

[Bradley]

I've got the inside scoop.

Sakho and Balo sent @StevieM a box of Southern Tayto. As everyone knows Klopp is a solid, decent guy and loves the superior Northern Tayto. Once he found out he realised they both have to asap.

 

[Frogfish]

And Ilori then ?

 

[Bradley]

And Ilori then ?

Farted in a Northern Tayto box and left it on Klopp's desk.

 

[gareth_thomas]

I'm assuming that Klopp feels that Midfielders can cover defensive positions. Milner, Lucas, Can & Henderson are the more likely options.

I used a similar approach on FM and various computer games.

Whilst this may work for the odd game... its fucking dumb.

Mamadou Sakho has turned down move to Stoke. He's happy at #LFC, has decided to stay & hopes to win back place (L'Equipe) #deadlineday #SCFC

 

[Zlate]

I'd be happier if he stays, means he cares enough to want to prove his worth.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

I'd be happier if he stays, means he cares enough to want to prove his worth.

Or his ego allows him to think he's too big for Stoke?

I don't blame him. Stoke or WBA. A season in Stoke with Mark Hughes the joy vampire or a season with Tony Pulis barking in your ear. I guess if there's an injury crisis he might get a chance to claw himself back into favour, but otherwise he's doomed.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Those are exactly the type of clubs where he would shine with Long balls being played up front and no passing from the back 4 which is where Sakho looks like iambi on ice

I for one feel a lot happier knowing he's here to call on if required. Very short at the back imo.

 

[Gary25]

The more I think about it, the more I think Sakho is actually shit. He has more bad games than good ones. His cult hero status amongst our fanbase makes me cringe as well.

 

[Gary25]

That said it is a bit surprising we're willing to turf him out on loan considering we're not overloaded with centre backs.

Klopp must surely feel Gomez isn't far away from returning.

 

[Judge Jules]

Not necessarily. He's fouled his own nest pretty comprehensively off the field with that fat-burner stuff and his antics on tour. Sometimes managers want rid of players who behave like that regardless of the consequences. I'd want Balotelli out of LFC even if all our other strikers broke their legs at once.

Stoke don't really play like that these days.

They have just got Bruno Martins Indi instead. He's a ball playing CB/LB.
