Stevie always find positive in n anything they’d concerning liv smh
If what he’s saying is so, why’s vvd still there ?
it's easy to assume given Bajcetic outperformed Fabinho, but I would still keep him because most of the defensive midfielders LFC have targeted are still raw and needs more time to adapt, unless LFC signs Caicedo , MUST sign Caicedo if Fabinho leaves otherwise next season will be another disaster….
Im ok with Henderson and fabinho leaving but we cant lose both unless we got 2 more centre mids and 1 more left sided centre back
what is Steve Nicol smoking in the UK? it means Fabinho, and potentially Henderson & Thiago could all leave within this window if worse case scenario happens. How is Liverpool going to get good enough players at a "reasonable" price in this crazy transfer market? only 2 came in, need at least 3-4 more if all these senior players are leaving almost same time. This is the only thing i dont like about the club or Juergen….why keep players till end of contrat and also past peak performances, while taking up the slot for the squad? Its always important to keep refreshing and rejuvenating every season or at least every other season, instead of keeping players on the bench till contract runs out.
Now I lost hope for us again. Best mid player in the ream by 10 miles
yes it was only one bad season but it tells u alot if klopp is willing to let him go obviously he knows things we dont
if hendo goes as well we literallly have no senior midfielder apart from thiago and most probably he'll leave next season so this rebuild will have to work no two ways about it
Bought for £39M in 2018
Sold for £40M in 2023
No brainier
Have to say a week ago, I was very happy with the midfield! It was a great mix of experience and new youth/hunger. Letting both Fabinho and Henderson go, off the back of letting Milner and other experienced players like Firmino go, is nothing short of stupid. If both these players go, we will have to recruit at least 2 more which is essentially a whole new midfield (bench players included) – far too much change in too short a period of time. Fabinho has been class for years, he's had one bad season and is only 29. Ideal scenario for me would of been to keep him, perhaps sell Henderson (now 33) and bring in another younger midfielder such as Lavia.
What a player Stevie Nicol was !! 💣💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He gets a yellow card nearly every game. It's a shame because he's been amazing for us until last season.
🔥FACT🔥
al-Etifaq club is Nottingham Forest of Saudi Arabia. 😒
Fabinho's best is as good as van Dijk's best, and his worst is as bad as van Dijk's worst. So why is he on the chopping block and van dijk isn't? Because it's all about hype and perception, and Fabinho has always been underappreciated.
Hate this I love fabs
Fabinho in the CDM with Szob and Alex i know liverpool midfield will be back to normal.
Klopp is willing to sell anyone with no regret because he said
I can't imagine losing both Fabinho and Henderson. They're experience and best defensive midfielder apart from last year. Replacing them with an unknown player will be difficult.
Nicol big mad
Keep Fabinho and let Hendo go. We need experience in the midfield
Saudi Arabia is a godsend for the premier league. Middle east billionaires have no regulatory sports or financial agencies to adhere to, it's all just nepotism and incompetence out in the desert. I believe that the new generation of Saudis now coming into insane levels of wealth having no idea what they are doing. Saudi Pro League is mostly incompetent and will squander a trillion dollars.
Might be a bit short-sighted, or at least he'll take some replacing. Apart from last season, he's been an absolute beast for Liverpool.
Cash in 40M to invest in another younger player for the future, its a good deal for both liverpool and Fabinho, regardless of his performance.
nicol is a racist
when it broke that a 33 year old henderson was leaving it was a "massive blow"
but when 29 year old fabinho is leaving its cos his "legs are gone?"
bigot
See you.
