They've said they'd rather see him rot in the stands than leave (not sure if that was just to us or in general). If that's the case it's pretty stupid of Southampton but somewhat understandable.
And you're right. There should be an alternative in case the deal didn't come off. If we go into next season with Lovren as one of our starting CB's then Klopp has fukked up big time.
They are talking [oops]. No way will that happen. I think we are waiting for Chelsea to bid for him and hoping he turns them down so they are forced to let us bid
You never know. As vish put in his thread, clubs seem to be taking a tougher stance with buying clubs and their own players. But it would be cutting their nose off and all that if they did go through with it.
Trouble is, all this cocking about isn't helping us get the much needed quality CB that we need and if they do stick to it we don't seem to have any alternatives so will end up with Lovren as a starter.
