I don't think we ever got the full story on Sakho, he must have done something pretty bad to be completely drummed out the squad like he was, especially when we have been desperate for defenders.

I dont doubt Klopp on Sakho's saga. if Sakho was that innocent he wouldnt be tight lipped n would have been in press 3-4 times already since he left . headlines of major rags n what not, that how stubborn Kloppo is and it was nothing more than Sakho showing up late once. I find it hard to believe.

i kinda feel sorry for Klopp (he may have his own shortcomings,who doesnt? ) . the brutal English press , the pennypinchers and us impatient fans wont let him survive n let him do what he wants. He might end up at Bayern soon . meanwhile Hodgson would be jobless by that time.so we are covered.

The Sakho saga was probably a heated exchange on the US pre-season tour. Klopp and Sakho going at it in front of other players and Klopp taking the stance that he won't ever play again for us.

With Coutinho it was FSG's decision to make sure he got reintegrated into the team. I'm sure Klopp given the choice would rather leave Coutinho on the sidelines but he's FSG's pride and joy next big asset and they sure as hell don't want anything jeopradising the price tag!

Sakho's behaviour following the drugs ban/no ban for taking dodgy substances was the problem, I'm sure the dodgy substances was the first nail in the coffin, whatever it was, it was clear it was over for him under Klopp, so best we got rid.

Coutinho is a top player whether we like the way he behaved or not, as long as he gives his all and is professional, I am happy for him to play for us. I am sure it's Klopps choice if Coutinho plays or not, I cannot see FSG instructing Klopp on team selection, or him accepting it.

The Simple fact is he's one of our best players, so if fit, is likely to play, looking at the dearth of creativity in our midfield, with Lallana out, we are better with him playing, I can see him playing midfield this season.

Coutinho came back with his tail between his legs...he had no other option! As far as I'm aware Sakho never put in a transfer request or played sick?

The biggest slap in the face was Coutinho for Klopp, after pledging his allegiance only a few months prior.

My bladder has started gurglin' again.

So now FSG are just trying to protect their asset in keeping Coutinho to protect his price? Wow they can't do anything right eh?

I'd suggest if they were interested in maximising the profit they get from him they'd have sold this summer as no offer that big will come again. How about maybe they want to not keep selling their best players as we all want them to. Crazy idea I know.

Or maybe there was no other replacement for him going into a CL season. And the price tags are only going to get bigger IF FIFA/UEFA don't intervene. Coutinho will still have 4 years left on his contract going into next season.

He'll be gone by then....hopefully

To sign a replacement they'd need to spend pretty much all they'd get anyway so any profit is meaningless. And I can't see any offer that big next summer. The only reason Bad ca could offer it is because they sold Neymar. We'd be lucky to get the £72m they first offered I'd say especially as no one else seemed interested.
