Joyce saying that Xabi is a no-go.
His knowledge of and love for L4 and the reds would have made the transition smoother.
This feels like quite a big blow.
1.) 28 Mar 2024 22:23:29
I’m sure people are going to feel hurt by this if it’s true. But people do need to move on from this idea that there is one saviour.
2.) 28 Mar 2024 23:45:06
There’s hardly a great pool out there, Faith. A Rodgers or Hodgson will set us back years. And there are more of those than there are managers than there are of Klopp’s gravitas and credentials when he joined.
3.) 29 Mar 2024 12:47:53
Why are people going to be hurt by what’s happened. It was pure speculation and neither Alonso or Liverpool said he was going to be the next manager.
19 Jan 2024 13:03:53
Whats the word on Hancko, Eds?
{Ed002's Note - David Hancko (CB) Only joined Feyenoord in 2002 and a clear not for sale was the response when Newcastle asked after him in 2023. I am not aware of any formal approach from Liverpool to Feyenoord but they were representated by scouts at games against PSV and Celtic in December. Agent has been offering him around with contact made with Chelsea (who have no interest), Liverpool, Bayern Munich and PSG - and likely others.}
1.) 19 Jan 2024 17:52:21
2002 is only? Its confirmed! Here we go! Ed02 has been alive for more than 3 centuries atleast ??.
17 Jan 2024 13:12:45
Sepp VDB
Ed's do the club see Sepp as a long term solution for the LFC squad, and does the player want to integrate or make a permanent move to Germany?
{Ed002's Note - I don't know what the player wants but I expect Liverpool to sell him on in the summer.}
1.) 17 Jan 2024 14:20:44
Should be given the chance to replace Matip next season. I don't think it's fair that Quansah has been given an opportunity in the first-team and VDB never has. He's not done much wrong on any of his loans apart from a freak injury at Schalke.
2.) 17 Jan 2024 18:33:40
Agreed BR. Not that I think we should hold back Quansah either but you'd like to think he'd be given a shot especially seeing as Gomez is more a utility defender in my opinion and Ramsey apparently not being fancied. That said I have thought this about many young players the club have let go and I can't think of any we've been wrong about.
3.) 17 Jan 2024 18:35:24
Further to my above, any idea what the plan with him is ed002? Purchased as a promising young full back to provide Trent cover with Bradley out on loan, but not had many opportunities (although looked good when given them) and now looks a million years away from the squad. I don't really understand why we bought him?
{Ed002's Note - I doubt he will get a chance at Liverpool and he could leave in the summer.}
4.) 17 Jan 2024 19:05:07
Maybe multiple trophy winning Liverpool coach Klopp thinks Quansah is a far better player and prospect? And from what I’ve seen I agree.
5.) 17 Jan 2024 19:36:12
It's not fair? Lol. Life isn't fair. VDB has had 4 preseasons to impress Klopp and failed every time, Quansah grabbed his chance in the summer and is now seeing the benefits. This is professional football not some school team where you get a medal for participating.
6.) 17 Jan 2024 21:37:36
Nothing to say he doesn’t take his chance in the next pre season to be fair.
7.) 17 Jan 2024 22:10:40
Quansah is miles ahead of any centre back in his age bracket. Maybe Colwill and Braithwaite match him that’s it. I forget Gvardiol’s age these 4 players can hit to the very top. Jarrel looks like he can hold a place in our defence already and for years to come.
8.) 18 Jan 2024 03:31:57
@Babbity - what makes you think SvdB hasn’t had a chance?
His performance in training and games will have been / is being monitored by the club. If his performance is deemed up to the standard required he will be in the first team squad next season, if not I think he’ll be sold.
It’s not a case of being ‘given a chance’, it’s a case of having to prove that you can reach / are at the level required to be given the chance to be in the match day squad.
9.) 18 Jan 2024 10:41:54
Quansah is absolutely top drawer, and then there is the supposedly elite level young CB bought from West Ham.
Perhaps Sepp is better suited to the German league from a footballing and cultural perspective. He is doing rather well over there at the moment.
10.) 18 Jan 2024 12:08:31
I do know Shalke have had him watched numerous times and they have had some sort of talks with Liverpool.
11.) 18 Jan 2024 15:35:51
It's not fair that I hit 38 without getting a chance to play for Liverpool, either.
12.) 18 Jan 2024 15:54:07
Bring him back in the summer and have a look, has impressed wherever he's been on loan apart from a bad injury. He's been out gaining experience and shouldn't be just dismissed because Quansah has come along. Who's to say they can't both have a future here.

I was told by Jose Enrique's moustache barber, that Jurgen has taken up Spanish lessons.
1.) 29 Jan 2024 19:45:39
Klopp has a house in Mallorca which he bought for £3.5m and is currently rebuilding so, even if this wasn't a joke, it doesn't necessarily mean anything suspicious.
2.) 29 Jan 2024 21:05:46
Think Jurgen will have an extended holiday then maybe take German National job…. Outside bet he goes to Bayern
What he should do though is leave LFC at the end of the season, spend a month in Majorca, come back in August to LFC as director of football and welcome Xabi Alonso as new manager.
Maybe Jurgen should be invited onto board at FSG with remit to oversea its football investments?
3.) 29 Jan 2024 21:41:03
We already know that Barça made an approach previously.
It would be a surprise if he went there but not a massive one.
4.) 29 Jan 2024 23:01:14
Doubt it’s true, if he thought working under FSG’s limitations were bad, just wait til he sees Barca’s.
5.) 30 Jan 2024 07:06:08
Jurgen Klopp has a soft spot for Japanese players, he could manage japan national team to escape the media limelight and genuinely grow the game in Japan. After all, ither other Jurgen (Klinnsman) is managing korea almost remotely.
6.) 30 Jan 2024 09:02:30
Pessimistic Dreamer, The man said it himself. He is off to see the world and I'm totally happy for him and his family.
As for Barcelona coming for him, they are wasting their time. Even last summer according to the Ed's discussions on their podcast, Real Madrid came for Klopp when they were trying to ship Carlo out and he declined. Klopp is out the gaff and I feel fine.
7.) 30 Jan 2024 09:42:09
What a fantastic Ride Klopp has given us and hopefully a little more this season, i wish him all the best the team he created was one of the best footballing sides ever and a joy to behold. Whatever he does from now if its retiring or managing in some other country he will be remembered as one of the great liverpool managers. I was lucky enough to see Bob Paisleys side and they were excellent but Klopp's were awesome. Just one more thing to say . YNWA.
8.) 30 Jan 2024 10:31:54
I expect to see Klopp managing again. I just don’t know where.
Year long break and then back to it I’d imagine.
9.) 30 Jan 2024 12:24:24
Personally I don't ever see Klopp at Bayern, doesn't feel like the sort of club he would go for.
Maybe a return to Dortmund or another team that's near the top but could do with a bit of Klopp magic.
I definitely don't see him going to Barca, did you read Xavi’s comments? If Klopp is burnout after his journey with Liverpool, it seems only a couple of seasons in Barcelona would be enough for him to require another holiday.
{Ed002's Note - He nearly went to Bayern Munich before, Dortmund is not an option at this time.}
10.) 30 Jan 2024 13:02:09
Why is Dortmund not an option, Ed?
{Ed002's Note - Eric Terzic has been there a year or so and is doing very well. They want a contract extension.}
11.) 30 Jan 2024 14:40:43
Not everyone wants Klopp to coach them apparently, Ed02 right?
{Ed002's Note - Right, not everybody.}
12.) 30 Jan 2024 15:26:09
Who knows what Dortmund will think of Terzic in a year and a half though? They've sacked a lot of managers since Klopp left.
{Ed002's Note - It won't be anything to do with Klopp. He will be wrapped up doing something else in 18 months time.}
13.) 30 Jan 2024 16:21:46
@@Babbity - how does he spare the time to rebuild a house?
14.) 30 Jan 2024 19:09:12
I think klopp will manage the German national team in due course, i don't think he will manage another club again.
I think what he said in his leaving statement rings threw for him in that he doesn't quite have the energy for it anymore and he's now 56 so it's less energy he will be having not more. International football will give him good time and obviously it a great honour to manage your country. Although personally I'm not sure if klopp will suit International football due to, ironically enough, not having that much time with players. he seems to thrive in working with players and building up relationships with them where they would go threw a wall for him. im not sure u can have that relationship when u don't spend that much time with the player.
15.) 30 Jan 2024 21:25:08
Interesting comment Ed. Do you think Klopp will go on to manage the German national team after a year out?
{Ed002's Note - They will have a need this summer.}
16.) 30 Jan 2024 23:28:22
@WDW his wife is in charge of it apparently.
17.) 31 Jan 2024 10:40:02
Didn't Real Madrid also sound Klopp out on more than one occasion during his time with us - they will have a vacancy in a timeframe that may suit Klopp.
{Ed002's Note - They did - so what is the imeframe that suits Klopp?}
18.) 31 Jan 2024 20:50:37
I would be gutted if Jurgen went to Real. I saw a theory that he is not as much of a socialist as idealists like me want to believe he is.
Real could be quite a breezy job for him.
I'd like to think that he would choose Athletico and turn them into regular contenders.
Whatever he does, I'll always love the man.
18 Sep 2023 15:17:53
Lets see how well we do against 3 proper sides. We will surely be better tested than we have been, and our defence needs some work.
I fancy spurs for top 3 this season, they really are our main competition (imo).
1.) 18 Sep 2023 15:33:45
Newcastle (at Newcastle) was already a good enough test, and we did very well.
2.) 18 Sep 2023 15:41:08
Ridiculous post, does that work for City aswell? because they've played Newcastle, Sheffield, Fulham, West Have they not played a proper side yet? everyone plays each other twice.
3.) 18 Sep 2023 15:47:17
Lets see Spurs against 3 proper teams as well then. And also it’s been 5 games. 5 bloody games.
4.) 18 Sep 2023 15:55:37
3 proper sides? Like we haven’t been tested already? Mate we’ve had one of the most awkward starts of any team in the league - I’d say only Newcastle’s has been tougher in terms of quality of opposition.
Spurs won’t finish in the top 3 because Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are all much better than them. Top 4 is definitely up for grabs for them, however, and Postecoglou seems like a hell of a bloke to work under.
5.) 18 Sep 2023 16:19:25
All I'm saying is that there are holes in our game that a better organised side could take advantage of.
We are in a process of evolution after a lot of changes in the squad, and the Trent experiment is still in trial phase and inconsistent.
My guess is 5-6 points from those 3 games.
6.) 18 Sep 2023 16:39:59
Really? This nonsense again? Centrepoint FM, take a day off. We have played against better teams already this season and handed it to them even with 10 men and are undefeated so what on earth are you waffling on about?
Spurs? By your own logic, they should not be taken seriously cos they've played essentially nobodies and haven't played vs "better teams" YET you think they will finish in the top 3? Like I said, take a day off cos your logic is not even fully applied to LFC or Spurs.
7.) 18 Sep 2023 17:08:58
Tbf, Spurs this season looks much less Spursy. Ange has done an excellent job with them so far. They don't look like a team that will fold under pressure now. Still, it is only 5 games into the new season so there's still time for them to revert back to their norm.
8.) 18 Sep 2023 17:11:45
OliRed So are you saying 9 points from those 3 games? Too much Lemo at the weekend?
9.) 18 Sep 2023 17:30:22
'3 proper sides' sort it out mate.
Every game in this league is a challenge. We've had a fantastic start to the season.
10.) 18 Sep 2023 17:54:01
Centrepoint who are the 3 proper sides who will test us more?
I need to ask as you have Spurs competing with us for top 3, this makes me think that our opinion on who is a proper side are different.
11.) 18 Sep 2023 17:58:05
Who are the "proper sides" that you are referring to? Are u talking EL or PL or both? Not quite clear. Maybe it's you that's had "too much lemo" CP?
12.) 18 Sep 2023 18:04:23
How’s Oli getting so much liberty to mock every poster is baffling lol. I don’t see any issue with OP.
13.) 18 Sep 2023 18:29:45
Don’t see a problem with Oliered’s post myself Habibi.
14.) 18 Sep 2023 18:32:58
Then Habibi maybe u can shed some light on what he's talking about. Thx in advance.
15.) 18 Sep 2023 19:11:22
There are holes in every side, no set of players is perfect. As long as we exploit the opposition's weaknesses more ruthlessly than they exploit ours then we're on the right trajectory.
The defensive side will gradually improve as all the new players settle into Klopp's "defend from the front and as a team" philosophy.
Early signs are very encouraging, but there will be slips along the way.
16.) 18 Sep 2023 19:12:45
The funniest part is that we traditionally have good records against the 'proper' sides. It's the Fulhams and Brentfords and other teams we're 'supposed to' beat that we screw up against.
17.) 18 Sep 2023 19:34:52
CenterPoint again, what proper sides are you talking about? We have played Newcastle, Chelsea (away) and Villa at home. Are those not proper sides going into the season? We did very well to get 7 points off of them esp. at Chelsea and at Newcastle which are very difficult places to get points, let alone win with 10 men or get a point in a rivalry game which Chelsea games are. Have Spurs done the above.
And who are the 3 proper sides Spurs who you are bigging up, have played? They have a cup cake of an opening 5 games compared to ours btw and I did not even know Sheffield Utd, Burnley (both newly promoted, btw) and B'mouth were "proper sides". Or are they only "proper sides" when Spurs play them? Utd, a proper side? Come on, you're a top bloke BUT it's not funny anymore, lol.
Again, your logic is flawed on a basic leve and all over the shop cos it doesn't even apply properly to both LFC or Spurs to begin with.
18.) 18 Sep 2023 20:13:50
If we can beat the 16 'non proper' teams but lose to the three 'proper' teams we will finish with 90+ points. I'd take that.
19.) 18 Sep 2023 20:49:37
Harry, put a sock on it. Don't preach about liberties. Because you've been taking liberties on this site for well over a decade. And nobody else comes even close to the stuff you have gotten away with.
{Ed025's Note - i dont know why you even bite ArAy, it only encourages him mate..
20.) 18 Sep 2023 21:05:08
Oh well aren't you so precious, Harry? Even the OP himself did not see anything mocking about my post so what's your beef? Wait, don't tell me you are now the guardian of the most vulnerable of this forum who can't defend themselves when challenged. If that's the case, you need to reconsider your personal choices.
I like many others, challenged his post and he responded yet you're here trying to make me look like some kind of bully going after some weakling who can't defend himself. I propose you take a back seat and sit this one out while the rest of us and the OP have a healthy debate.
21.) 18 Sep 2023 22:14:57
Spurs will spurs it up. They already got knocked out of the only competition they could possibly dream of winning ?.
22.) 18 Sep 2023 23:47:01
It's been a great start to the season but it's only that. A start. I would not complain about the quality of sides though. Chelsea away in the opener was tough start. Newcastle away. Aston Villa are a tricky side and wolves away at 12.30 with big players missing. Can't complain about the start. We just have to keep going. Game by game.
23.) 19 Sep 2023 03:50:41
@Davey, personally I’d agree with but it seems some people can actually find something to complain about.
OP when you say Spurs are major threat to a top three finish I assume you mean third place is what we are aiming for? I assume City and Arsenal are beyond our reach in your vision of things?
Anyway, at the moment the only thing that really matters is playing as well as we can on a Thursday, although if we win easily we will no doubt need to worry about better opposition to come and if we don’t play well it’ll be used as ammunition that we have been lucky in the last 16 PL games.
24.) 19 Sep 2023 05:03:43
We've already got 4 points away at what are considered two of our top four rivals. I'd have taken 2 going in. We're going really well and still bedding in new players. Going to be a great season for us.
25.) 19 Sep 2023 05:27:15
I think it's a fair question. but the under current seems to be that you're waiting for the team to fall over really. Cos even if we do play a "proper team" and knock them over, is that as important as doing what we've done?
I'd argue that the points won from losing situations shows as much about the level of this team as does beating City. I mean we beat City last year after all.
26.) 19 Sep 2023 07:00:43
If we do beat a proper team it will be easy enough to put it down to luck or the proper team having a bad day.
27.) 19 Sep 2023 07:41:10
No it doesn't Ed025. I ain't biting at all these days mate. let's make a count how many Oli would get away with. already 2 up lol.
The OP ain't posting ever again Oli lol.
{Ed025's Note - the thing is Harry you have lost all credibility, some of your stuff used to be quite amusing but these days you just throw hand grenades into threads in an attempt to ruin them, i get that you want to be controversial but its becoming a pain in the arse now, the directive is to send your posts to the sandbox and until you show that you can be trusted thats not going to change mate..
28.) 19 Sep 2023 08:43:43
Harry if the OP needs a safe space (which he doesn't, by the way) just cos I challenged him on his stance and will not post on here again according to you then, that's on him. Seriously, are you for real?
News Flash: Nobody needs you to defend them on this forum. Literally Nobody. So you using the OP as a wedge to get to me just shows your cowardly motives. Therefore if you want to come after me on anything on this site then, do it your darn self and not thru anyone else like a coward would do.
Now as Ed25 has undressed you in the most polite way possible (he's a much better guy than I am in this regard), I will leave things as they are and move on.
29.) 19 Sep 2023 08:44:28
Boom. And the microphone drops. ??.
30.) 19 Sep 2023 09:13:05
Ignoring the handbags on this thread and in response to the OP, some Liverpool fans frustrate out of me.
We’ve made a really good start to the season and already you are praying for us to fail so you can criticise the tactics, players, Lijnders, owners?
People have such short memories, Klopp has been with us for 8 years and in that time we’ve had 2 poor seasons and finished 3rd and 5th. Before he arrived we finished 8th!
This guy knows how to get it done and he will have us title challenging again this season. It genuinely frustrates and baffles me that any Liverpool fan would think any different.
31.) 19 Sep 2023 10:04:58
Becker, no point in suggesting positivity. It's a real struggle for some people. But fine, it's their right to express. People are people. ?.
32.) 19 Sep 2023 09:48:13
Okay Ed025. You are the boss and you get to decide. One thing for sure, controversial or not. I cannot post to please people. I write what I feel about it. Its your call end of the day.
{Ed025's Note - first of all Harry im far from the boss, im just trying to give you some friendly advice mate as banning is my last resort, liverpool have had a great start and i dont see the point of negativity just for the sake of it and to get peoples backs up, i believe you are a decent person and i actually like some of your posts, but that little devil on your shoulder needs to be ignored as it just causes problems for us Ed,s and ruins good threads, im not saying anyone cant have different views on things but they do have to be pertinent..
33.) 19 Sep 2023 15:49:29
Can I just ask centrepoint. what 3 games are you even talking about?
34.) 19 Sep 2023 15:55:51
ArAy I don’t even think I’m trying to be positive I’m just being logical.
We had a poor season last season due to injuries. If Diaz and Jota were fit all season we’d have easily finished top 3. In fact pretty much every player bar Salah had an injury at some point last season.
The previous season in the hunt for 4 trophies until the bitter end and a short preseason left us a bit ravaged.
This season we will be back to normal, refreshed, with some really good new players and the youngsters having more experience. Logic will tell you we will be right up there.
35.) 20 Sep 2023 03:28:53
Harry, just to add on to Ed025's point, your post seemed to single out Oli despite him not being the only one who disagreed with what the OP posted. Nothing to do with being controversial or not but you didn't add anything to this thread. It's clear that for some reason, you dislike Oli and your posts, not only here but on the live chat as well, has become a bit personal towards him.
06 Sep 2023 09:16:31
PEAK Mo was at Ronaldo / Messi levels, although he has not been there since the AFCON defeat.
He is a club legend, but that money could give Jurgen City levels of cash to spend on the rebuild.
The Saudi's are inadvertently funding our entire rebuild. Newcastle don't have a chance).
1.) 06 Sep 2023 09:43:46
Mohammad Salah is probably the best looked after athlete in the world. Him at 31 is a pro athelte in his 26. The man misses zero games through injury. Things and tricks he pulls off on the pitch are rare. he would score 20 plus goals in his worst season. Selling him today would be a mistake. He would go on to play another 5 years of football at this level.
2.) 06 Sep 2023 11:15:58
I'm going to play Devil's advocate here and likely well and truly kick the hornets nest. Whilst Salah is certainly an incredible player with ridiculous numbers, is he a club legend and is it right to say he was at Messi/ Ronaldo level?
The greatest players (Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, Pele et al) in my opinion, are the players who not only constantly perform to the highest levels for a whole season, but are also the players who step up and dictate the biggest games individually.
Take Pele and Maradonna in the WC, Ronalso and Messi in countless finals etc. These players have individual finals named after them due to them being directly responsible winning the game with individual brillance.
This brings me on to Salah. Whilst he is consistent each season, in my opinion he has never stepped up and determined a major cup final for Liverpool, or Egypt for that matter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he has only scored one club final goal and that was a penalty. The only time I truly thought he would be the secret weapon to win LFC a cup was against Madrid before Ramos decided to assault him and ruin it!
One of LFC's greatest players and goalscorers? Absolutely. But a club legend on the scale of Messi and Ronaldo? I think that is open to interpretation.
3.) 06 Sep 2023 11:46:09
Still pining for the Saudi money. It won't be anything like football manager if Salah goes and Liverpool have 200 million to spend.
I should think you would be focused on the season that is already under way and what the team can achieve if everyone (including supporters) are pulling in the same direction.
4.) 06 Sep 2023 11:57:24
I think that's a fair assessment. Salah's record in cup finals is definitely less than ideal. He does affect "regular" games though and has, at times, pulled out wins from the jaws of defeat. On that point, I would say he is Messi/ Ronaldo-esque.
5.) 06 Sep 2023 14:18:56
Salah hasn't reached Ronaldo and Messi levels.
6.) 06 Sep 2023 18:54:10
Messi, in the BIG game at Liverpool, lost 4-0 and got knocked out of the Champions League.
He is still one of the greatest ever. And while I agree Salah isn't quite there, I don't think he is far off.
7.) 06 Sep 2023 20:31:51
Stuie boy. For a period of about 6 months before the AFCON, I think Salah was the in form player on the planet. Does that raise him to Messi/ R9 status? No, they hit that level and then some for almost their entire career. But those two were freaks. There have been plenty of players over the years that matched or exceeded Messi/ R9’s feats, especially with goal scoring over limited periods but they just didn’t keep it up. Suarez, Gomez, Lewandowski, Benzema and I’d include Salah here as well, were all in that realm of untouchable brilliance for short periods before dropping back down to ‘only’ being world class. Only difference with Messi/ R9 is they reached that level for 10+seasons as opposed to a year or two.
8.) 06 Sep 2023 22:11:08
That's my point Westwood, those players you mentioned have stepped up on the big stage when it matters whereas Salah has failed to do so both at club and international level. I also forgot to mention Brazil Ronaldo. what a player.
9.) 07 Sep 2023 12:24:24
Conspiracy theory time lol. Isn't it weird that the Saudi leagues are making the top European teams weaker just in time for the Saudi owned European teams to compete in the champs league. I know it's been on PSGs remit for some time and now Newcastle have qualified suddenly they start to dismantle euro elite teams, this giving them a better chance of being successful ?.
{Ed001's Note - PSG are owned by Qataris who are the Sauds most hated rival.}

Hardly worth punt, the odds are against him.

Konate is world class, in my opinion, people forget how young he is, and that he's already played a great world cup campaign. Injuries are an issue, and yes he loves his home town club, but why on earth would anyone want to sell such a great player?
VVD-Real would likely wait until he's out of contract and it will be interesting in general, to see how Edwards manages the potential clear out that are you talking about Alonso.
Endo has been a revelation, why on earth would anyone want to sell him? He has given his heart and soul in most games. He is a legend in the making.

Jobe would be a biblical signing.

I wonder how big a clear-out will happen once Klopp and his alleged loyalty to certain players is gone.

3 OS players spaces used up too.
It will be interesting to see how much Edwards can get for two lads at Hull.

I would be gutted if Jurgen went to Real. I saw a theory that he is not as much of a socialist as idealists like me want to believe he is.
Real could be quite a breezy job for him.
I'd like to think that he would choose Athletico and turn them into regular contenders.
Whatever he does, I'll always love the man.

Jurgens persona and potency carry a lot of weight when it comes to leadership. I cringe thinking back to Brendan Brent's leadership. It is night and day.
I could see Xabi garnering the same levels of respect, although in an understated way. He is a humble and intelligent person, destined for the top in management in my opinion.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the value of the club over the next few years. Jurgen has had the club punching above its weight comparatively speaking.

Why is Matos leaving, Eds?
Do you believe that Trent may consider his options now, with his contract running down? Will this affect Salah's or Virgil's renewal?
It does feel like the end of an era is looming, in more ways than one.
{Ed002's Note - I am surprised the club wished to go down the route of saying something when continuity would perhaps be something they wish to negotiate. It is unclear how it will impact the players.}

I'd like to see a young forward added to add a bit more pressure on Nunez.

Jurgen seems to want to live and enjoy family time and life, more than be thinking about another club. At least with national football, he can have a bit more free time.
I don't see Jurgen extending again, especially with an increased amount of games in the CL.
He is so anti the corporitisation of the game.
