Sorry Eds you have probably answered this question recently but what's the score with Erme Can with not signing this contract.

{Ed002's Note - I can only imagine options are being considered. If someone like Keita arrived he would be down a peg on the ladder - I guess he knows that - as he knows Juve are looking at Keita as well.}

Will the club let him run down his contract?

It seems it has dragged on for ages.

{Ed001's Note - they already have.}

I think towards the end of last season, in pre season and in our one game this season, he has shown he can be a great player for us. We should have done more to secure him before this situation arose.

Not intelligent enough to be a centre mid, runs round like a headless chicken to often. He doesn't excel defensively or offensively, no doubt he has technical quality and athleticism but we definitely need a better alternative to him. The odd fantastic goal doesn't qualify you to be a Liverpool centre mid.

How about helping liverpool to 4 clean sheets out of six games at end of last season? . Can is brilliant and given our inability to sign players I really think we need to make sure and keep players who want to play for us. Can really stood up last season and if not for a wonder goal we would be travelling to hadjuk split on a Thursday evening this season.

Toul, you are wrong. Can is a very good player and is already part of the Germany setup, which is not for slouches. Also, Juve really want him and will start every week for them, a team capable of playing a CL final every season. They don't buy duds nor slouches so your idea that he is a headless chicken makes no sense.

Lowest pass completion record out of our centre midfielders, that's despite playing a more withdrawn role more regularly. I am not having that he'd displace Khedira, Pjanic or Marchisio, and if you believe he would your deluded. He'd likely be a squad player there based on his versatility. Germany took an experimental side to the confed cup he also got played right mid in a qualifier and he's 23 not a teenager. Decision making and positioning aren't great and although he clearly has large potential I feel as a centre mid he lacks ability to control a game. His overhead kick wasn't the only thing that got us to the CL, dozens of moments and performances gained us points. As for our clean sheets, mignolets performance coupled with having our first choice centre halfs available consistently helped massively. I'm not slating the lad he has plenty of admirable attributes, but we need someone more consistently effective in centre mid rather than 3 box to box midfielders. Think back to Benitez and we had a balanced midfield with a deep lying distributor and a ball winning mid as well as gerrards obvious raw talent to create going forward. Now tell me, which of those categories does he fall into?

BingoRed and Superred watch this game and tell me he's influential.

No influence at all, booked for a daft challenge. He's no outlet for our defenders, barely seen him. Not a presence aerially nor really has he done anything going forward. Defensively he's been slow, tell me if he's a supposed superstar then why is he not having any influence from the middle of the park? Don't get me wrong everyone has a bad game occasionally but even if your having a bad game, in centre midfield you must have a presence. Mane has done far more defending than him, if either of you see him starting for Juve you need a footballing education.
