You never mentioned any of that in your original post? You only mentioned "he thought he should be n1 ahead of Courtois in the belgium team." I looked up what you're on about. Migs literally said he has his eyes on the belgium number 1 position and felt confident of taking it. Then Courtois blew his lid and said Mignolet was being disrespectful. That's why they weren't on speaking terms back in 2014. You're making a lot of assumptions based on Migs wanting the gk position for his country in terms of him 'having a chip on his shoulder'. Also, He was number 1 for liverpool, arguably the most successful English club ever and had just qualified for CL. Normally that would be more than worthy of a shout for a national call up and first choice. I dont personally think he's better than Courtois, but I'm objective, he on the other hand isn't and I dont blame him for thinking he was good enough in that instance.
Playing for LFC doesn't warrant that, the way he plays does and he has never been LFC standard. Do you think he is LFC standard?

Klopp bought Karius to be our #1 keeper. He sees something in him and obviously hopes he'll come good despite dropping him and bringing Migs back in. Migs' errors have finally cost him and he'll be gone soon. Karius has the rest of the season to prove himself - or he'll be gone too. I'm not sure why Ward isn't in the mix - and the mention of Bogdan in this thread is a joke.
We have to get a new keeper in the summer. To me Karius just doesn't look like a proper keeper. I don't know whether it's a confidence thing as he was supposed to have been very good in Germany but when playing for us shots just seem to go through him. I read today that he's let in more shots than he has saved this season. That's very worrying.

A half decent keeper would have us around 10 points behind City instead of 15. A top top keeper and we might be only 6 or 7 behind. We don't allow many shots on target as a team. Mignolet is ranked worst keeper in PL for goals to shots on target.
I would snatch their hand off for this money or at worst get the deal done for 1st July now.

Imagine how many points Utd would have the last few seasons if they didn't have De Gea, they wouldn't make Europe !

You accuse me of not reading your posts properly and then ask me whether I think migs is LFC standard? My first post states “he wasn’t good enough”. Which is besides the point anyways. The point is he isn’t good enough but believes he is. He’s a professional sportsmen. He’s entitled to his own wrong opinion. Having a go at him for believing in himself is just a bit silly. There is no problem in believing in yourself except when you are unrealistic. I as said, he thought he deserved the n1 spot in the Belgium squad more than Courtois which is silly.

If he believes that he is better than what he really is means he has a chip on his shoulder that won't allow him to progress as he doesn't see reality. You need to know where you stand first and then believe in yourself to progress. He said he deserved the first spot, not he'll work hard to get the first spot. Thinking otherwise is silly.

Surely Manchester is situated in Europe regardless?

Mignolet is the works keeper in our history.
There is no other way of putting it. He has to go. I'd rather a younger keeper like Karius who has some potential than have mignolet in goal ever again

I think Klopp has been very loyal to Mignolet which is very admirable however Klopps judgment on players is shocking as everyone knew well in advance Mignolet was a terrible keeper, Klopp has wasted 2 seasons on this feller, at least the penny had finally dropped.... Yeah his judgement on Salah, Mane, VvD has been way off. Klopp out!
