The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[Zidane98]

One last thing on Trent - he's a very similar age now to when Gerrard was when he very almost went to Chelsea. I think Trent knows this next decision pretty much defines the rest of his career.

Yep. Another thing - Trent's still young enough to sign a 5 year deal with us, complete that contract then try something else in his early 30s.

I really hope we are offering him the captaincy once Virg leaves written into his contract.


My expectation is the club puts 300k/week total package (220k basic + 80k bonuses) on the table over 5 years. 10m signing bonus over 5 years (2m a season).

All up that's a 90m pound contract over 5 seasons, playing for his boyhood club, representing his people being captain once VVD leaves which he will do so within the next 2-3 years if he also extends his contract. Trent will be young enough at the end of that contract (31) to pursue playing overseas on a huge final payday if he still harbored desire to do so. And if that's how it worked out I am sure the club and all fans would wish him the best after giving what would be then 13 years senior football service to the club.

I'm afraid if a deal like that isn't convincing Trent then the club really needs to move on with alternate plans.

Van Dijk has been sent back to Liverpool early. Rested for the last Netherlands game.

What's the go with Ali / Jota / Elliott?

What's the go with Ali / Jota / Elliott?

Elliott training with U21s over the break. Jota another 1-2 weeks away. Not sure on Alisson.

Does Chiesa still exist in this material plane or has he been banished to the shadow realm or something?

They said after the break so who knows.

 

[largebus]

Feels like Chiesa was signed as a token gesture to say FSG did something last transfer window. Won't be seen unless we have a real injury crisis up front. Don't blame him if he wanted to go back to Italy

 

[jod23]

Chiesa just needs a run... but he primarily plays where Salah does so good luck finding minutes there.

Morton started in England U21s 1-1 draw with Netherlands.

Bradley with a goal for Northern Ireland in a 2-2 draw vs Luxembourg.

Also Doak was MOTM vs Croatia the other day.

I wonder if he can be our new Mo Salah in 2-3 years time.

Potentially, this year's comp is more even than most. That said I'm predicting a measured 2-0 victory.

Yeah I'm weirdly worried about this one, plus games are always so unpredictable after international breaks.

 

[gaskin]

At least it isn't an early kick-off.

 

[RossFC]

Fabian Mrozek's half season loan at Brommapojkarna in the Swedish league is done. 5 appearances, no cleansheets.
Jakub Ojrzynski was also recalled from Spartakos Kitiou in the Cypriot league due to an admin error, no appearances.

Lead up to our traditionally worse period of th season.

First game back from international break

Danger game

 

[jod23]

I'm just glad stupid international breaks are done with now until I think March.

God they can absolutely **** off.

No chance - Saints are rubbish. you guys should enjoy this and stop worrying about every game.

Nunez subbed off at half-time of Uruguay's match against Brazil. I could be wrong and I hope it is tactical, but Nunez doesn't normally get subbed off for Uruguay, at least not that early. If he has picked up an injury we are trouble in terms of our striking options. We could be seeing more of Diaz/Gakpo leading the line.

Again this is just me speculating, no news as of yet given the sub happened literally 10 minutes ago. So hopefully it was a tactical sub.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

According to Sporting News: "You have to wonder if that's a tactical decision, or if the free-kick Nunez took straight to the forehead had some lingering effects. Liverpool will have some concerns."
