Just a quick question eds, i understand emre can is probable to leave but is it possible still that keita will displace Henderson rather the can, if cans performances continue to be steller. Just think in my opinion can could be a far better player than Henderson, but what would I know.

Cheers lads.

{Ed001's Note - I am sorry but this does not make any sense. You want to replace Henderson because Can will be better, and not replace Can, who you expect to leave anyway. Did you really think this through before posting?}

He's asking in your opinion could Can not dislodge Henderson if he in fact signed a new contract and played with Keita next season. Yes he could in my opinion, we'll really miss a beat if we let Can go I feel. Always liked him, could be world class.
He's perfect for CM/ DM role, he can even cover CB if we had a lot of injuries.

{Ed001's Note - but why ask when he is saying that Can is going anyway, so he knows the answer is that it is not going to happen?}

Just to add sorry, I think all 3 could play in a 3 man midfield quite easily once Coutinho moves next season. If we make the CL, there'll be plenty of matches for everyone - Klopp will rotate.

Yeah but Ed001, Can is German and Henderson is English. You know English players can't play kickball.

{Ed001's Note - ah yes of course.}

Ed I think the crux of his post makes sense. What he's saying is, as of now, it looks probable that Can will leave, but is there any possibility that circumstances change whereby Can stays and Keita replaces Hendo instead.

{Ed001's Note - again that makes no sense when Hendo and Keita play different roles and positions.}

Any truth in the MU and Chelsea interest in Emre Can Ed001? Or just mischiev making?

{Ed001's Note - the only interest I know of, other than the long standing Bayern Munich one, is Juventus and I expect him to go there to be honest.}

I think he wants to keep Can at the club and play him regularly over Hendo alongside Kieta. A midfield of Can and Kieta would be pretty impressive.

Hi Ed001,

Realistically do you think there is a chance Can might stay, or has that ship sailed so to speak?

I will be gutted if he goes, as I think he is developing into a real quality midfielder.

Thanks for all your insights as ever!

KF.

{Ed001's Note - there is always a chance but it is unlikely. He was keen to leave for Juve in the summer but we rejected their bid. I believe he has made his mind up to leave. There are still a few months left to persuade him though.}

Let it go, Harry. We get it. You dislike Hendo.

All last season supporters were calling can rubish and now he's all of a sudden sliced bread God you lot are so fickle he's served his contract and obviously wants to leave let it go support our skipper who is coming into form.

Henderson is going nowhere. He has recovered from his injuries and is already back to a very impressive level of performance.

It's easy to forget that last season was his first ever in the lone holding role. His development there was blighted by injury as well. By the end of this season he will have it nailed and be one of the best holding midfielders in Europe.

I'll eat my shirt if i'm wrong and post it in the sightings page.

Harry we all know you only like Can because he is your baby faced German playmaker 😉.

Well not really. I wasn't sold on Can as he was all tank than anything else. But he is proving me wrong as he now think before making a pass. Juve has been tracking him from some time and after loosing Pogba they did not replace him yet. Can will be that player. My inner thoughts pointing to that ugly truth that he will boss in coming years.

Can still has issues especially discipline to play the holding role but what makes him a different is his ability to burst past players like they just stood still. Can has a good touch like most Germans. Good on the ball and it's not easy to knock of tr ball from him. I am liking him purely on his quality mate. I have no preferences over nationalities. One of my best Crush is playing for Napoli 😄.

But then for all those who constantly rumble on " future looking bright over here " forgets Can is the future that you are happily allowing him to leave!

Mark my words Can will boss against City. It's shame we spend some much time and effort on him and the patience we showed to make him the player he is slowly turning out to be and guess what Juventus will have his best years!

Can - Pjanic will probably will boss Seria A!

I have to admit i am gutted Can is most likely leaving. I just hope Keita is worth it!

MK, Keita is definitely worth waiting for. The lad is a genuine talent and it's a proper coup signing him.
