This website is a fantastic website and the best and most accurate out there!

People are peddling about couts behaving badly and refusing to train. VVD has done the same and Costa! Well don't get me started.

I have seen people say is it not against their contract or should the not honour it. I have seen ed02 reply with his/ her reply of "But you want VVD"

As far as I am aware, if the players have a contract of employment they need to adear to that contract as per the agreed terms. The fact they don't such as Couts or VVD means they want better things. By that, Couts wants him and his family a warmer and better life in sunny Barcelona with a great chance of trophies!

If VVD pushes and gets his way (aside of the wrongful tapping up) then I would suggest that he sees that as a step up with the potential to win things.

What puzzles me is that we try to look at this on a working-class level! You can't. and by this, if you got offered a 50k a year job but your work said no you cannot leave us! You would tell them where to go?

All though a fooballer cannot directly do that! These footballers want what is best for them and their family as do I! No real loyalties just money. growth. trophies etc.

A top end player like couts will have no issues with a few fines based on hi wage!

Can’t really use Costa in that comparison, he was told he will not be part or chelskis plans whereas we want (ed) to keep Couts and Southampton want to keep VVD.

Thing is, Everton want Costa, and I don't blame them for six months.

Some serious snarlers with him and Rooney, which can win you trophies, especially with both having a proven track record in the league, with bags of European experience.

If I was Koeman and many of my majority bitter yet tongue in cheek "you stopped us in Europe" friends, I reckon a short term loan of an experienced player of that quality could win them a massive European trophy this year.

Win win for me.

Your jobs not going to make you sign a contract and also doesn't need to "own" you in the sense that football clubs do. if a club can't protect its assets then there is no way to survive.

OP, simple solution. If you want to break a contract, buy yourself out of it and become a free agent. NFL and NBA players do it all the time when they can. Vitolo of Seville bought himself out of his contract this summer to join Atleti. Didn't hear anyone complaining about that.

If Cou and VVD want to break their contracts, they can buy themselves out of it and then repay all the bonuses and pro-rated wage hikes they got and then problem solved. Till then, they had better find a better way to negotiate a way out otherwise, they will have to stay.

{Ed002's Note - They can't buy themselves out. Nonsense. You need to find something else to post about as yours are getting more and more stupid.}

Hey just want everyone's opinions on who are the most reliable journalists regarding LFC news. Apart from James Pearce who I already know.

The difference between Coutinho and VVD is that one wants to join a bigger club the other wants to join a sinking ship at the expense of the club who made him who he is.

Top level football is nothing like any contract we could ever earn or understand, there is so much money involved and too many corrupt 'amazingly clever people in suits. Where there's money there is always greed and fair play to Rick Parry (the rat) and the Premier League for getting on it.

FIFA and UEFA hold all the cards, make up all the rules as they go on. I don't stress about it no more I don't care who we sell or sign as long as we win and hopefully play well, happy days. Everyone's too worried about the cash instead of enjoying boss footy.
