Love him, great player potentially but if he can't stay healthy, au revoir.
Not arsed.
The biggest thing stopping Gomez being in the first 11, is his inability to stay fit, so unless he sorts that, maybe he should move on.
I think Gomez will start back as a First XI defender, with Virgil, with the others made to 'earn' those spots.
I'm well into the LFC boom bust cycle but I am excited to see us start next season with VVD and Gomez at CB (or VVD and any CB) with Fabs and Hendo in CM.

Does this mean you think the Konate rumours are BS? Can’t see the owners in this climate spending c35m for a substitute
We've seen this year just how loyal Klopp is though - and I suspect it might be a bit of 'learn the system' to the new kid along with not wanting one of his trusted players being benched.
I don't necessarily to agree with this - but we have seen Klopp's man management style in a new light this season, particularly with regards the likes of Mane, Davies, Naby, Ox etc.
Maybe - and it’s possible with the owners a little shame-faced they need to agree to his demands a bit. But given the finances I simply don’t see them spending big money on benchwarmers. See also, there is no Gini replacement incoming, they will say “we bought you Thiago. Crack on”
Only way Gomez plays every game (until he gets injured). Is if he's in his final year of contract.
Tbf though, before his injury, where he we playing at the tip of the 4-3-3, he was playing really well and we pretty much a regular.
Yeah - you clearly missed the “in this climate”.
Hard to believe we signed Ox 4yrs ago.
Moneyball signing... Bought for 2.5 mill, plays a few cup games next year and then still him for 7 million odd
Yes, it was a bit tongue in cheek, I'll admit. But it's worth noting that some expensive players are signed with the expectation (or hope?) that they'll become first team players, and then they don't. So it's not really a case of spending £40m on a 'substitute', as such.
In this financial climate? It really is
Will rise to £120m loss...

Add Phillips ... we've already seen that 4 dedicated CBs is not enough, we need 5.
Well look where that policy got them this season ... 5th - 7th. I can't see them not learning from that, there is far too much money being lost to continue with that ideology.
It’s possible, but is that what they’ll really do? They were flush last year after our CL exploits and kept the wallet closed tight. What we’re saying now is that with a catastrophic drop off in cash, and looming prospect of no CL tv money, along with their financial nirvana of a Super League being snatched away, they will deepen those financial woes by going into the transfer market in a big way....
Like I said, it’s possible, but seems strange people think that is likely (unless we see the sale of someone like Salah to fund the other transfers, and even that may be for a much smaller price than we previously thought).
Not qualifying for the champions league in this of all years could prove to be an absolute disaster for us for the next few seasons.
4 is generally standard, if we are keeping Gomez and Matip then we need a 5th. Most clubs don't start a season with only 3 CBs knowing that 2 of them are guaranteed to get injured for long periods of time.
It ain't official until its official
