Dejan Lovren

[nineteen]

You don't win anything with kids

[marcus50bucks]

There is no need to take risks in my opinion. We've had our fair share of injuries at the back over the years so I'm not comfortable with letting Lovren go at this stage. Also as much as Fabinho can do a job at CB I would prefer us not to weaken our midfield in order to shoehorn Fabinho at centre back when we've got a perfect 4th choice cb in Lovren.

Very risky game Klopp is playing here. Not buying anything, having to rely of injury prone players & then this just seems very unnecessary.

[Norbs]

Which is what happened last year and cost us the title. £15m? He played well last year. Maybe it's a favour to him.

Could certainly argue that it cost us

[Fosterbloke]

Yet we were happy to spend £60m on a 19 year old defender this summer.

The players we have are very special and have shown they play an adult's game.

[Buzzo]

Interesting.

I guess the precedent is that nobody predicted Joe Gomez would be an international class CH as recently as last summer. Klopp must see something in the young lads. Hoever looks amazing.

Bold.

He's shown many times that he won't stand in the way of players that want to move on for footballing reasons.

Lovren was never going to stay 4th choice, he's too good for that but not good enough to have a realistic chance of being higher up for us.

Same with Mignolet.

I think Klopp has a lot of empathy with his players and cares about them, this is happening for Lovren whom seems to be well liked I the squad and by Klopp.

I think we will be fine.

[Fredo]

Lovren wants to leave and Klopp is granting him his wish. I'd like my employer to do the same.

Are you a victim of modern slavery Fredo?

[Slinky Skills]

We are relying on the likes of Gini,Keita,AOC to cover the front three. Milner, Henderson, Fabinho to cover the defence. A few injuries across the board and we are ****ed. Simply can't compete with City using untested youth and midfielders to plug every hole.

Before Norwich I seen Shaqiri working on one of the turnstiles.

[frank the tank]

Id sell him too. Good move. People think that he is fourth choice....but for all we know, klopp would prefer Fabinho back there too. And if we don't give young fellas like Whoever and that Ginger Dutch Rodney Trotter a go, then we won't be able to attract top young players.

Lovren isn't a good option for scarce football. He takes half a dozen games to find form. Not possible for a fella like that. I've not trusted him since I saw that **** show at Anfield v West Ham under Rodgers.

Kind of surprised Brendan didn't buy him to replace Maguire though

[frank the tank]

Also, I reckon klopp washed his hands of the ****wit after he injured himself v Wolves after a few minutes because he didn't warm up properly. 100k a week for that kind of ****. When we were going for the ****in league and CL. Professional my arse

Its on

Croatia defender Dejan Lovren, 30, missedtraining with Liverpool for Wednesday's Uefa Super Cup as the Reds have opened transfer talks with Roma. (Telegraph)

[Exiled_red]

I'm not surprised that he doesn't want to stay and be 4th choice, I think that his position as 4th choice has been clear for a while. I am surprised that it wasn't sorted out sooner then we could have brought in a replacement.

Going into effectively the whole season with just 5 senior defenders seems crazy to me. No matter how good you think the kids are it's one hell of a gamble particularly when Gomez and Matip have a record of injury problems
