    If he was holding out for a better deal, he couldn't have timed it much worse.

    I think he wants to be assured he will get to play most games.. hes 30 and doesn't want sign a contract and be a bench player. that's my take on it any way.

    Doubt he'll get any guarantees like that. He upped his levels once Naby signed, it's up to him to maintain them.

    I'd imagine this is the hardest age group to renegotiate a new deal as they know this is their last 'big' money contract, but the club also know they've peaked and don't want to give them a bumper 4 year deal.

    Same with Willian, if Chelsea can't get him to sign a new deal I cant see us offering more.

    Any truth in Thiago Alcantara rumour or is it the Spanish media being their usual shits and making up crap?

    Only seems to be one source from Germany reporting it. Every other report is just off the back of that one.

    Klopp on youngsters: "These questions won't be asked to Frank Lampard or Ole. We want to win football games and the best players need to be on the pitch and they are part of that. They are the future but we won't play them now. PL games are not Christmas presents."

    I think we should give some fringe players a go in the games like Burnley.. It wont really alter the bottom of the league. Burnley are safe.

    Have Pearce or Reddy rubbished it yet? Usually a good indicator.

    Suspect it's Alcantara's agent fishing for an improved contract.

    In terms of style a deep-lying playmaker is certainly an option, especially if Lovren went and Fabinho filled it at centre-back more, however the injury record and the wages doesn't seem very "us" given the lack of resale value.

    Surely cash-strapped clubs with slightly younger talent (Lyon for example) that need to raise funds are where we could be looking? Could see Aouar or Depay being sold.
