Monster, I'm not sure you can compare Maradona's doping to Armstrong's. LOL
One was performance enhancing, the other was getting off his tits!

Am I the only one that thinks Trent is delusional about winning the Balon D'or. Wherever he plays, however many trophies that club wins, even winning the World cup, there will always be an attacking player who will be voted above him. Let's say he goes to Real and wins the lot, then wins the world cup with England, it's still not him winning golden balls, it's Bellingham.
If he's looking to expand his horizons working overseas, then I get it. As it stands though, everything else he already has here at LFC. The trophies, we're competing. The money, how much is enough? The fans, he will never be loved again like he is now if he moves. Like I say, I get it if he wants to try something new, otherwise it's pipe dreams or a case of the grass being greener.

Flash, I am simply answering the question not complaining. Is the situation, for whatever reason a distraction? Yes it is. Is the issue of the contracts a problem of the club’s own making? Yes, it is
The comparison of Klopp leaving was put forward by many fans, pundits, ex players and managers as part of the reason why our season fell away. It was commonly reported as a distraction that affected our performances. Again whether you agree or not is irrelevant, both that and this contract situation is a distraction and it will only get worse. You don’t think it’s not going to be spoken about every time we play? The club needs to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Pretty relaxed 1jj but thanks for the life advice.
I agree the team is doing well, early days but i am enjoying it.
To answer your question, the longer the situation goes on unresolved, the larger the issue will become. It will become a distraction because that is what the team and the manager will obsessively be asked about and with good reason, our captain, our vice captain and the best player of the last ten years at least potentially leaving. Like it or not, the issue isn’t going away, it will only become a bigger distraction. The club should have resolved the issue sooner. In the same way Klopp’s departure was talked about to the point of distraction. Just because you don’t think it should be, sadly doesn’t mean that it isn’t.

West Derby, I take your point but I do think that we as a club try and wring out all we can from our players. Meaning that we end up with players leaving at the end of their contracts and no additional funds for the club. Yes, they may be old, overpaid, told they are surplus to requirements and injury prone, but we let those situations occur more than is preferable. The comment was, it seems to be the way, for whatever reason it is the way. First team players leaving on a free, it’s not ideal and we have 3 huge players in that situation again. We were almost caught out by the front 3 a few years back, Mane sold with a year to go, Bobby left on a free and Salah signed up on a huge last minute contract. I think it’s a fair comment.

No Diaz isn't playing well. How many goals or assists has he got? In the Prem since scoring 2 on September 21st against Bournemouth, he has 4 goals and 3 assists. I said this last year, he works his socks off but his job is to score or set up scorers.

Scouse John, absolutely!
I moved to Japan 20 years ago and raised my two boys here. I used to take them too footy here and was tearing my hair out at the coaching. Just let them have fun. They were doing drills all the time, one coach even told me that they don't practice passing but then took them into a game. It's a shambles, they should be running around, trying things out and having fun.
