Can any of the eds shed some light on the emre can situation? If we being honest it looks like he won't be signing a new contract and u would imagine a pre-contract agreement agreed in jan (if not verbialy agreed now) can I ask what age can signed for lfc and if he was to leave on a free transfer would lfc be entitled to any compensation at all or us that for academy only players? Many thanks.

{Ed001's Note - he looks set to leave on a free. He was 20 when he signed but I don't believe we are entitled to any compensation.}

I believe Emre would have to have spent some time in our youth system for us to receive any compensation. As he did not, Emre leaves on a free and can sign a pre-contract in January.

Cheers ed001, I thought that was the case regarding compensation. He seems like a lad that just wants to play and if he playing well then get paid what is right. I just think with all the talk of midfielders arriving and with coutinho dropping to cm and Keita arriving in summer I think he thinks he will be a stop gap if he signs now and will be left stuck in contract with ourselves and maybe fighting a loosing battle to get into our regular starting 11. I will be gutted to see him leave on a free but I think it's inevitable now.

{Ed001's Note - exactly what he is thinking.}

Does he not have confidence in himself enough to see himself partnering Keita ahead of Hendo next year? i like Hendo, top man but Can is imoroving all the time and if he keeps getting better i'd fancy him to surpass Hendo. Does Emre honestly think he's not going to have competition at Juve? some top midfielders there.

I'd take can over Henderson any day of the week, I appreciate what he does but I don't see him like some untouchable figure that some on here do.

Can over Henderson any day of the week! But don't happen as Hendo is the baby face and captain!

Just such a shame if he leaves, from my name its obvious im a fan. Since he joined i thought he'd be a top player and he seems to be on the verge of that now. He's played at least 40 times a season, over 130 games at 23 years of age. With Keita coming in we could, along with Can and Couts (or his replacement), have one of the best midfields in Europe.

You can't knock him for effort while all this contract talk is going on.

It would have been easy for Can to have signed a 5 year contract, on huge money, only to try and manipulate a move 6 months later by feigning injury and bursting out crying. LMFHO.

But that would have been unprofessional, Ain't that right PHIL. ?

CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE TO EMRE CAN.

Ed I know your opinion on the matter may have as much ground to it as mine due to you being unable to read the players mind.
But do you see any chance of him staying say if he were to be used as much as he possibly can this season and we win a cup and do well in the league hypothetically. I feel if he felt he was valued and one of the first names on the team sheet he would be happy to stay. Someone above mentioned it will be more difficult for him to play when Keita comes, which is hard to argue, but I can see Coutinho leaving by next summer and Can could find himself playing in a 2 man midfield with Keita or a three with Keita and another.
I've always rated Can ever since we've bought him, know he wasn't brilliant at times last year, but at times he actually was brilliant. Always seen the potential in him. remember Ed02 saying when we signed him that an opinion of an ex German Intertational midfielder (always thought he was referring to Ballack) is that he could become one of the best central midfielders in the world, or along them lines. Think everyone's starting to see how good Can can be, and consistently so far this season. Would be more than a shame to lose him.

{Ed001's Note - I am sure there is a chance, but he needs to picked over other players, rather than just getting his chance because of injuries. He knows Klopp has gone out and bought other players for his position on a number of occasions in a bid to replace him. Klopp needs to make it clear that they are not to replace him unless he allows them to.}

Him and Hendo are the only 2 players shirts i currently have, will be gutted if he goes but you can't exactly bench your captain and a new big money signing in order to play him so i understand why he wants to leave. would rather he used this as an opportunity to prove his worth though, he either already is or definitely will be better than Henderson and he seems to have similar leadership qualities too so arguably could replace him if he proves himself but ah well.

Can has nothing else to prove to anyone but himself cos he has more than come good for the club, period. He is right to assess his options if the manager is bringing in other mids. That is just normal for a player to re-evaluate his standing in the team cos like it or not, Can is in his fourth season here and is now and integral part of the team and has more than earned his right to start. Klopp and the club have to make it clear that he is wanted here and will get his chances and he is not being replaced. It will be up to him in the end.
