Rumours that MAMADOU SAKHO has agreed personal terms with Crystal Palace and only negotiations regard price are all that is stopping the deal from concluding.

Hope that this one gets over the line.

It seemed the incoming De Boer was not keen on paying anywhere near the asking price for Sakho. In this case even though he has permission to agree personal terms, it is a bit meaningless since Palace would never agree to our fee.

If we don't bring the 30m fee (how we think we can get that much for a fringe player boggles the mind) then he is going nowhere.

They were not ready to pay the asking price for Benteke initially. The player will express his desire to join them and I expect a deal to happen somewhere with possible Add ons!

Didn't this exact same thing happen with palace and be released last season. Palace said they wouldn't pay the price then eventually paid it.

Brussels red, fringe player? He's arguably our best defender and baffles me that we're willing or at least the fans are happy to spend 70m on VVD when all that is needed is an apology and klopp to swallow some pride. I for one would love to know the real reason why he's been frozen out of the side, it can't just be for a bad attitude and some joking antics can it?

he has stepped over the line several times. maybe Klopp does not feel he can control Sakho. if the boss cannot work with you, you are not going to have a job in any professional walk of life.

PEGLEG_ I tend to agree with you but all the reports seem to suggest it was just his continual breaking of rules like being late for meals, missing a rehab session, interrupting an interview, being late for the plane etc. None of them seem big things but he did not seem to learn. Very sad as with him we would not need VVD.

There is no "real reason". He does not do as he is told/ instructed. Like adding things to his diet that gets him banned. Simple as that. Move on.

Sakho is poor. Decent in a team that had to defend deep for the majority of games. Poor on the ball, injury prone and not good enough for Liverpool. I would see past it if he ever had 20 games plus consistent run in the team but he hasn't done that in 4 years. Also makes at least one glaring error a game.

Baffles me why people still support Sakho and think that Klopp should apologise to him!
If you continually break rules in your workplace, would your manager apologise to you or would you find yourself disciplined and eventually fired if you were stupid enough to continue to break the rules and do as you like after being warned!
Yes Sakho is a good defender and he seems like a likable fun guy, but don't let that overshadow his complete lack of professionalism and respect for the club, the manager and it's fans!
Why do you think it is only Palace showing any genuine interest in him? Why were PSG so desperate to get rid of him? Because he is a bloody nightmare to manage and a distraction to the rest of the players!

If people are expecting Klopp to apologize to Saake him back (after continuously being a jerk and disrespectful to his manager), then it says a lot about the moral compass of certain fans on here.

Peg, the reasons why he is being sent packing from LFC has been discussed at length over the past year so you can search them on here. Listen, I'm a Sahko fan and thought he would be great for us BUT there is no way on earth, he is our best defender or CB. That is just wrong. He has all the tools to be a great CB (he was capt. of France and Deschamps knows a good CB when he sees one) but his heading is poor, lacks concentration and sometimes his head goes when under pressure.

Also, he was in the team for three seasons where we shipped 150 goals in the PL so how he is our best CB/ defender, is a mystery to me. Playing in a CP team where they defend at the edge of their 6 yard box and he just sweeps up everything behind is something I could do.

I will take Matip over him any day even tho, he needs to improve in his physicality and his heading ability as well as grow a spine so as to take charge of situations when under pressure.

sahko is the player we are scouring Europe for. I used the word reconciliation. I would guess the players don't get on with him as he let the team down. dunno only guessing. He is far from a fringe player. Our best defender although I like matip and also think klavan can get better with confidence. Got the physicality to play like hypia. See ya brother from another mother.

Very true icon. It's a shame though eh? People do grow up and if he really wanted it I reckon he could prove himself to klopp. Obviously he isn't doing that and he's living on a massive wage for doing nada. The more I think about it, the more it makes me angry. The 30 mil price tag is more than fair and I'm sure someone will snap him up. Everton are loading up, I like sigurdsson who they're looking at apparently. Dreamers. They got done with that wee keeper. 30 mil! Has his name been mentioned at all by us? Sigurdsson I mean. I think I already asked you eds sorry dude. Cheers.

To be honest you are bang on there redroon. I too would liked to have seen him have a good run. CB needs to be disciplined. That what that position is all about and his lack of it is the reason for the glaring error every game. He can pass the ball though. Never understood why we sold Agger.

Another good post scarface. At first I was shouting that we should use sahko but the more I think about him on high wages doing nothing, it grinds on me. When you put like you did pal it is clear he has to go. I think 25/ 30 mil is a fair price these days and someone will snap him up. Think about his team mates (he doesn't) they may not like him as he has let them down time and again. Probably not a good place for him to be. Played well for palace though, very well. 4 yrs! Seems like he signed last yr. time fly eh.
