I'd take £50m for him. That's an awful lot of money for anyone let alone someone who can be wildly inconsistent.
Someone else said in another thre4ad a few weeks back that there's no one in our squad that they'd be disappointed if we sold and I feel the same, even Cout. I would sell for anything above 50m, he is not worth it, yest he does have moments of brilliance but not aften enough, in the final for example, he was invisible, even in the first half. assisting sturridge's goal is being invisible in the first half? I think you have to give credit to sevilla despite liverpool's problem of not getting their attacking players on the ball in dangerous areas enough

I think you have to give credit to sevilla despite liverpool's problem of not getting their attacking players on the ball in dangerous areas enough This example is where the assist stat is flawed. Coutinho merely passed the ball to Sturridge, it wasn't even half a chance but Sturridge scored an absolute stunner. An assist to me is when a player plays a brilliant defence splitting pass or a perfect cross, not a simple pass where the other player than scores out of nothing!

I think sturridge would consider it a half chance, with the amount of room he had. I don't think the assist stat is flawed, an assist is an assist, I've seen simpler passes count as assists. interesting...would you count a lay off as assist for example if benteke chested or headed it to someone running onto it

It's not the money if offered that would raise problems for me. For £45 million Klopp can do better. The issues will come with how many new faces he can gel in a season to compete at the top if we even feel that is realistically possible with budgets other clubs will be utilising.
It may very well be too many in one window and not playing in Europe means we have to have an all in approach to the league week in week out and come out the gates carrying no one. If you lose players like Couthino does anyone think it possible to switch out maybe 5 first 11 players and still be there?
I honestly don't know.

Does that mean I get the assist or is it that down to the strikers brilliance? Crediting people with assists with simple short passes which result in long range goals is too easy. Alonso and Gerrard used to get proper assists with perfect through balls to Torres. A little sideways pass doesn't mean anything to me, anyone can do it!
