Rick 2,276 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 He’s out of contract and the likelihood is that he isn’t going to contribute much to the rest of this campaign, yet we’ll fix him up to go and play elsewhere. It’s very frustrating. The club should have moved him on in the summer, even if that meant releasing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the fact they wouldn't just be able to terminate his contract without good reason or if it was a mutual agreement, they'd still have to pay him off. I don't see what benefit that is to the club or player? I don't see Klopp treating a player like that either unless he's done something badly wrong, do you? It's shit that he's been injured all season and then come back and got injured again but he'd have been extremely useful in the latter part of the season if he was fit. Let's hope it's not too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 It’s not a case of treating him badly. He’s been injured the majority of the last two years. At some point it has to give. Giving him a settlement would be cheaper than his wages for the season. Instead, all he has done is sit in the sidelines with full pay, using up the club’s medical resources. It’s very frustrating to see when players end up in this position. I have sympathy for a player who gets a bad injury, but when you’re a constant sick note, then it starts becoming a real issue for me. Being fit and available is part of being a good professional. Can we say that Thiago has been worth the investment overall, I’m not sure we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted February 9 Subscriber Share Posted February 9 The thing with Thiago is that hes always been injured for major periods over his entire career. If you look at the history its not hard to see that they still gambled on the transfer. Thiago - Injury history | Transfermarkt I think the club just waits till the summer and then moves him on. He could have done really great things had he been more fit but that's not his mode of operation and hasn't been for a while now. This is the longest hes been out in his entire career although he did have a long spell even at Bayern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we say that Thiago has been worth the investment overall, I’m not sure we can. Thiago doesn't have to agree to terminating his contract and why should he? Liverpool knew he was injury prone when they signed him, that was the risk they took. We'd have certainly liked him to have been available a lot more over the last 12 months but I think we all knew when he signed he was going to be a player that played around 30 games a season. Was it worth the financial risk? Probably not but I'm not having comments that I've seen elsewhere that say he was useless or a pointless signing. There was a point where Liverpool were unbeatable when both he and Fabinho started games. I also think he will have helped in some way in the transition from what was a pretty functional midfield in the early Klopp years to the one that controls games much better that we see today. Probably had a very good influence on the younger midfielders at the club too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still not seen Arsenal's celebrations on Sunday as I left the pub when the third went in so don't know what they were like. It's definitely become a bigger thing in this country since Klopp though. I even saw a couple of neutral ex players mention that the other week.

Danny 2,206 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Thought that was just a fake quote its that mental lol, to claim celebrating like that is “your thing” when its been done so many times on the continent is mental. Is Arteta running down the touchline also Liverpool’s thing? Or Odegaard taking a picture of the photographer? Baffling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody accused these people of being brilliant at anything other than football. Yeah he’s said something very stupid, it’s not like he’s come out and said something horribly racist or kicked anyone’s dog or anything, etc, so it’s not the stupidest thing a footballers ever done. If he keeps up the way he’s played this season by saying stupid cocky shit to stay motivated, I am all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Maupay's video of him having to rank footballers as they appear? It's a top 10 but you don't get to choose when a player will get picked so you have to guess where you might put them, he had the top 10 mostly done, Aubemeyang popped up and he asked if he could put him 11th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,276 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Klopp is saying Jota will be out for “months”….fuck off. Jones has some ligament issue so you’d expect weeks for him and Ali is out for a bit as well with a muscle injury. We need Trent and Szoboslai to hurry up.
