The junior/youth footballl system in UK does need looking at. It’s hard for kids of decent ability who just want to play football saturday at league level to even get a look in. Clubs who aren’t even anywhere near JPL operate like they are Palace academy. They turn away lads because they feel they are of certain standard by coaches even without aby basic qualification whom are coaches just because they are dads of one of kids. The sense entitlement and lack of inclusivity goes against what FA wants but league welfare isn’t policing it. It’s rather pathetic how lower local league junior clubs are failing for lads who want to play and train.
And with Alisson, in contrast, I would sit down and say something like this: "We think you are a great guy. And you've already proven yourself to be a legendary goalkeeper here. We would like you to be part of our club in some capacity even as your playing career starts inevitably slowing down. We don't see those things as matters of money. You are a great guy and you obviously also have great value as one of the world's very top modern goalkeepers. What do you think? You are also a Brazilian. We would be totally fine with you being associated with us and with some club/institution in Brazil too. We suppose you would probably want and like to have some sort of a professional link with your home country." That is for Alisson.
And for Trent, VVD and Salah let the contracts expire with Trent being let go in January as the optimal outcome. It is very best for Trent's own sake for him to leave too. And VVD and Salah know that their careers will go down when they leave Liverpool. They will have options at the end of the season but those will be downward options for them. They might take them or they might not. Those are things that can be negotiated. That's what's done when players refuse to negotiate at the more appropriate time and decide to start blackmailing the club. That stuff must be rooted and stamped out because otherwise such things become the norm.
And then give more careful thoughts in the future to what sort of personality profile is given the captaincy. And is allowed to boss other players around in the dressing room, on the training pitch, etc. Steven Gerrard was a good captain. It is always good to have a local lad that happens to deserve the captaincy. But those things can be rare. Not everyone can captain the team. Steven Gerrard also wanted to leave the club at one point. He almost signed for Chelsea. He was seeking a place where he could win more titles. His head was turned. But in the process of thinking about and doing such things he didn't and he wasn't blackmailing the club.
Once Alisson is approached as I described above, if he responds by saying "I can get more money in other places" then he can be told "Yes. We understand that. There is more money you can make elsewhere. But we don't see this as just matters of money. Of course that you are free to do that. We will pay you decently but we are not going to compete with whoever out there is willing to pay however much they happen to be willing to pay to get you out of this organization."
ps And if he, f o r . . e x a m p l e , makes media statements after consulting with his agent about how he wants to be a team captain in the future to rile up the supporters and sell himself to other clubs, or aaaaaaaaaaanything like that, then we just don't deal with such players. They can find the door themselves.

If he doesn’t want to be here no problem, thanks for the memories.
This, with actual quotes, gets ignored.
A tweet from some nobodies however must be gospel.
What, the liver bird? Upon it's chest?
Celebrity and Liverpool fan Simon Rimmer on what Trent Alexander Arnold told him about Slot:
He says to me in training, 'Can I have a word with you after training, Trent?'"
He goes, 'Here we go - this is when I'm going to get told l'm a terrible defender, blah blah blah.'
And he goes, 'l've got a few videos clips you should look at.'"
He goes, 'Here we go, here's where Anthony Gordon's roasting me, here's where such and such is roasting me.
And he said, 'He's got 50 clips of me in training, and he said, 'This is a really good position - if you turn your body eight degrees to the right, you've got a better chance of making a strong tackle than the way you stand at the moment.
'Trent said 'I was just blown away; it was all positive. And he said, 'Look, I get it. I completely get it.' "All the players love him. Isn't that ace? Isn't that brilliant?"

Positive reinforcement and confidence boosting with instruction. Perfect.
I hope he also bought the dumb cunt a protractor to explain what 8 degrees is
sounds like a protracted discussion
My sincerest apologies 🤣
Trent will end up like many before him, going to Real playing every now and then, and spent the majority of his time there on the bench if he is luck to make the match day squad that is
Not so fun fact but Simon Rimmer blocked me on twitter. It was the afternoon before we played Chelsea in the FA cup final. The exchange went something like this.
Simon Rimmer: Can’t wait to go the final with Tim.
Momo: Sounds great. Are you guys sat next to each other?
SR: Yes!!! I’m dreading we lose but it will be great if we win.
Momo: Amazing!!!!! Tell me how a Liverpool fan and a Chelsea fan got tickets next to each other when proper match going fans couldn’t get one?????

Slot in the most recent press conference:
"...and there are ongoing discussions between, what Virgil said,..."
The question was about all three. And in his answer Slot mentioned only what Virgil said. Does Slot consider Virgil to be the most important? Does Slot consider only Virgil to be his priority? Does Slot considers Virgil to speak for all three of them? Does Virgil speak for all three of them?

I actually didn’t read that far and ALSO
As the creator of the word quiffer (based on the thread started by Vlad’s Quiff) i believe I’m untouchable for alleged acts of quiffing
Replying to a post before reading to the end of the thread puts you on the path to partial dreamie
That was you ey? Who coined Binnying/ Binnifying? What other words/memes that form part of the 6CMs peculiar dialect can we trace?
No idea i just know that ive carried this achievement for over half my life 🤣
Would need better skills that i possess to find Vlad’s original thread but i found a post of me making the same claim 12 years ago 😂
