it is a concern yes that he's walking for free but it's not my money so I don't get too caught up on that front.Didn't he offer to take a 50% pay cut? Either way Gordon wouldn't be on much less.
It's a huge loss because no real good CBs on the market and he's a $60-80mil asset walking out the door for free (after TAA). It's not as if he's old, given us his best years, and is going to a mid table club. He's in his prime and going to literally the best team in the world. If he's good enough for them he's more than good enough for us.
Too many LFC fans have their heads in the sand about our current situation under Slot and Hughes.
Things are a mess. Jones and Gomez will be next.
We don't play in the same league as PSG so he's not going to a direct rival.
He may be in his prime but he's still inconsistent and has been for some time - you'd be silly to argue otherwise. We don't need a name, we just need a competent CB until Leoni and Jacquet (hopefully) makes the step up. It's not as if Konate is leaving and we have no young cb's either. Lacroix has been mooted as a potential option as well.
I've already mentioned Slot reeks of Rodgers at this point but until upper management makes a call there's really no point stressing. Whatever will be will be. Iraola has apparently said he'd only move to Leverkusen or Liverpool this summer - so perhaps something is already in the works.
