Not really, majority of the time they are right, every time I've seen something transfer related, it's been true and usually backed up by BBC or The Guardian a few hours later.

Only time will tell. For Klopp and our owners to rule out any deal it would be quite a turn around.

If a players wishes are the only things to go by then Sanchez would be a City player now and half the Spurs squad would be gone.

Sky have been full of **** the whole summer

Owners are covering there arse saying hes going nowhere

That then forces coutinos hand to hand in a request

Coutinho is then made the bad guy and the liverpool owners are in the clear

They didn't simply say he wasn't for sale. They said definitively that no offers would be considered and that he will be a Liverpool player when the transfer window closes.

If he goes it will prove yet again under FSG our pr is a ******* joke

The_One · 11 Aug 2017 at 13:09

Just like torres and suerez were never for sale eh

I don't believe FSG ever said Torres wasn't and certainly didn't the summer Suarez left. They said he wasn't going to Arsenal the summer before though, how did that turn out? Do you believe Wenger when he says he won't sell Sanchez? We've actually had quotes from Sanchez where he says he wants to play for a CL team. I assume he's definitely going?

Again, the club's position couldn't have been made any clearer and they made it knowing exactly what Coutinho felt. For them to back down and sell him now would be far more damaging than selling him without all the fuss you mention.

Not from my experience, they're rarely on the ball.

Time will tell with this one.

Torres is slightly different, he saw the team get destroyed by previous owners false promises etc he deserved to go how fans turned on him was pathetic

There's always false promises at Liverpool, and maybe Coutinho has looked at the players behind him on the pitch and realised he's winning nothing with that defence.

Oh dear Coutinho now hands in a transfer request lol. Hours after Liverpool and Klopp saying he is not for sale at any price.

Admirable of Liverpool to say that but as fans of Arsenal know, it doesn't mean anything really.

Question for Klopp and Liverpool is do they really want an unhappy player on their team sheet. A player who could possibly disrupt the team as well.

Like our Sanchez situation at Arsenal, which ive said repeatedly to sell him asap and get a replacement in. Liverpool need to do the same imho.

Paul Joyce has confirmed it. That's as good a source as you are going to get imo.

Mark1989 · 11 Aug 2017 at 13:51

James Pearce now confirmed it is true and countinho has done it.

So let's say he goes, Lallana out for three months etc I wonder if we will push these transfer through.

This is situation where I feel clubs should always get players in early. Especially in our case as we had supposedly 150m to spend before sales, now if he goes clubs will just hold us over a barrel knowing we may or may not or just gotten a huge amount of money in

I only glance at the SS website, never watch SSN, and usually everything on the main page has come true. The Guardian are now reporting it too and I consider them to be the most reliable along with BBC.
He'll be gone imo, a bid of £100m will do it.
BBC also reporting it now.

Not convinced that would be enough to even give us a decision to make and still hugely debatable whether Barca will go that high. So far they've only offered £75m odd, rising to £90m.

I dont even see why they're after him, I thought Hazard at £100m+ is an actual proper replacement. Re-buying Sanchez at £30m would also be good business.

But but but he's so humble and happy, has it been mentioned he's humble?

Edit, Barkleys available, like for like and pocket 50m.

I was right to trust Sky then on this rare occasion
