Seems like people are being a little OTT about 2 of the 3 outstanding contract extensions. I quite like the way the club allows long-time servants to move on for free for one final payday. If Virgil and Mo want to run down their contracts then it’s absolutely fair enough. Sort of similar to the testimonials players used to get.
Trent, of course, is a different matter - he should have been put on a new contract a year ago, but the club was in a bit of a mess after so many execs left, and then Klopp announced he was off. Mistakes were made, but this is where we are.
If I were a player of Trent’s ability, I would definitely want to test myself overseas at some point, after winning every cup with my hometown team. It’s a fresh challenge, and some players require that. Circumstances sadly mean that he can now achieve that on a free transfer. Not Hughes’ fault: it’s a similar situation when Rafa had no leverage when Owen’s contract was running down.

If those 3 players all leave at the end of the season I don’t think we make top for a while. What would you be saying if that happened?

it'd be nice if trent, in particular, signed an extension so that secures a transfer for us if he did eventually want to leave.

Don’t know the details but to me it shows a lack of class and or lack of competence.

It’s all under control.

We've not made top for a while with those three players.

We can talk all day about lack of class or lack of competence or whatever, it’s just pure speculation based on the only fact we know - they haven’t extended yet.
Forming a conclusion based on only that info seems premature to me.

People seem to be happier to let Salah and VVD leave as long as Trent stays.
For me Salah is by far our best forward player and VVD our best defender. I think if we lose them we will struggle to make top 4.
I don't think the same if we keep them and lose Trent but that's just my opinion.

Everything on here is pure speculation. It’s an opinions website for fans.

The lack of class comment is hilarious. they are employees sure they have loyalty to a degree but they do what’s best for them just like you would at work.

Don’t be daft kloppers. Go tell your 3 best players of the last few years “look lads bit busy but we sit down soon” puts it to bed doesn’t matter if they offer contract or not.

You don’t know that hasn’t happened? Just because Mo has said money has spoken to me doesn’t mean conversations have been happening with there agents clubs don’t deal directly with players with these things it’s agents.

FSG and the players don’t have anything to do with contracts. We’ll probably find out what’s happening before John Henry and Mo.
They’re just as excited as us to see or hear the news.
