To say I am mystified is an understatement, with the news that Kloppp wants rid of Sakho. Sakho is by far our best centre back at the club and just because of some behaviour issues in America he wants to get rid off him with no replacement lined up, which leaves us with Klavan who is still finding his feet in a new team, system, and league. Lovren who is a woeful defender. Gomez is inexperienced and coming back from an acl injury. Matip is decent. We've conceded 5 goals in two matches already with our appalling defence. Top 4 will be a miracle if Sakho leaves.

I too am shocked if the rumour is true of sackho going out on loan. He was imense at times last season, realy missed him in europa last few games. If he goes on loan he won't return iether, niether would i.

Unless he is replaced.

Bottom line is we are a team, or we aspire to be a team. You can't have 1 rule for one and another rule for the rest. Whoever it is, in this case Sakho, you can't undermine the manager or the team through indiscipline and I imagine it's not one mistake either. He might be the best player/ defender but if he has a negative impact on the other 10 players then he's not worth it.
Who knows, maybe Sakho himself could make amends.

Ya man, he was holding the defence together for most parts of last season, United away in the Europa league is a prime example where he solely carried the defence throughout the game.

Ron, if he's replaced with somebody who is superior to him them I have no problem, with less than 10 days to go in the window I highly doubt we are going to sign a replacement. He is worth is when you compare to the other defensive options right now. This decision makes no sense, baffled by klopp if this actually happens. Defence will be a shambles once again.

Edds told us this a while ago, you don't know what's going on in the background what impact these past months have had on the player. If sakho is having a negative impact on the rest of the squad wouldn't that be a valid reason? You assuming it's what happenEd in America it could be a number of things why don't you wait to her the full story instead of throwing out out the entire season over one player.

Zeppelin, ibrahimovic is by all accounts a turd of a human being wit an ego the size of his nose. Ronaldo is also an egomaniac who strikes fear into his teammates, Messi dictates who stays at Barcalona. The point being some of the best players in the world have profound negative effects on teammates through certain behaviours. But if you were offered any of those 3 or james Milner, a model professional, it would be a no brainer. If a player can make up for the negative effect they have on a team then they're worth keeping and Sakho, despite not being in the same bracket as those 3 is our best defender.

{Ed001's Note - that is so not true. Zlatan is nothing like that, nor is Ronaldo.}

Sakho out on loan makes as much sense as what Klopp thought about Markovic being on loan with only Ibe left on the wings. Even more so because he's Sakho!

I so hope the person who released this story is into fairytales. I would understand Joe Gomez to an extent, with us having Lovren, Matip, Klavan, Sakho, if he stays Wisdom. But the best CB and ONLY left footed one at that. Come off it.

The Lil Magician. All top players have huge egos I understand that, and although you mentioned you are not comparing abilities you comparing the best players in the world teams are built around these players Ronaldo is not even from this planet and has a winners attitude he works extremely hard to be at physical level he is. My point is the team is more important than any one player, it's not ideal but the original poster is saying our season is over because one player might leave. Why should wexpect have double standards on behaviour based on the status of the player? If klopp fails to deliver in 2 - 3 seasons I'd say the same thing the club and team are more importanthan than one man.

Ed I stand corrected on the Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic fronts. Zeppelin, disagree with the op that our season over if we sell sakho, but it would weaken us. My point is that sometimes a player is THAT good their behaviour can be managed due to what they bring to the team although I didn't articulate it too well.
