There was already major surgery required on this squad, given our shortcomings this year and given what's already walked at the door for nothing, as well, I should add, to then add to that workload with this just seems nonsensical.

And obviously I, we tread a fine line when it comes.

So we are ultimately all Liverpool fans, but we also try and have like proper grown up professional conversations about these sort of things. But I find myself with this one just being dumbfounded and completely,

I can't see other than the money. And if what Canata and his team and the representatives of

asking for is sort of beyond proportion and completely off to scale, then maybe you would understand.

But I don't see how this one makes any sense because you mentioned it there, you know, 27-year-old, France International, about to head to a World Cup, one of the tournament's favourites, I think it's fair to say. So clearly the quality is there, the experience there. He's captained France before. You spoke himself about leadership in the Liverpool group as well. So play 51 out of 57 games last

season for Liverpool. Like whilst it was far from his best season in terms of performance

level and consistency-wise, I still think there was moments in there. I think about the

Newcastle game in particular. I thought he was outstanding on that night. So yeah, I just can't

make this one add up. actually when you talk about the

makeup of the squads and the centre back department in particular there's a gaping

hole now in terms of the age profile of Canati because he's in his prime you know

Virgil's not he's in very much in the Indian summer and Virgil actually

off the back of playing every single Premier League minute plus the World Cup effort

he's gonna have to put in as well for Holland

you'd be lucky to get a similar level of

game time at him next season

plus the Jacques in the only stuff you just mentioned

I can't make this one work at all

no so I was just talking about I was just getting up a list

because someone sent me the list of basically players

who've left Liverpool as a free agent in the last few years.
