Dejan Lovren

[Bender]

I don't think Klopp loves him, he's just playing him out of necessity. If we had signed a defender or two like Klopp wanted, Lovren would be on the bench for sure. Another calamitous window like the last one then I think Klopp will walk, his reputation is being shot to pieces with our comical transfer dealings.

So much so he got a new contract

[gratziani]

One of Lovren's biggest problems is that he plays the occasion/opponent rather than the game of football. The bigger the opponent/occasion the more he tries to dominate. I think he wanted to physically dominate Kane and tried to be overly aggressive in his play - second goal being a prime example by attacking a ball he could never win. And as many have said one mistake and his head goes to pieces.

Johnny Giles used to commentate on Irish tv years ago and he always said to take each game, part of the game in its merits and Lovren doesn't do that.

Yeah maybe so and gets to wound up

Does not concentrate on the actual game he is playing in.

Think it has shown we need to move him on now though

Always better to let a player run down his contract and lose him for nothing I find

Its going to cost us more to get rid of him though, We will be paying the majority of his wages for the next 5 years while on loan.

Well, in this instance...

£100k pw though? I think Luiz at Chelsea and a couple of the City CB's are the only defenders in the league who get paid more than Lovren. How did that happen, were we really that worried about losing him?

Good luck to us finding takers for him at that rate, if we ever do actually bring in improvements.

Well, we'd have worked out the deal is worth approx £26m and valued the player at the same or higher, therefore the contract protects the asset. Thing is he's barely a £2m player on Sunday's form. So to protect that around £8grand a month.

I know mate, that was rhetorical

We've massively overvalued and are overpaying him.

By a factor of about 10.

[baitman]

Not too long ago some posters were calling him "Godren"

that'll shut them ****ers up

take the shame

And what logic was there in giving him a new and improved contract

[Shaggy]

Well, there is a precedence set for these kinds of things. That should result in a sentencing - club should dole out a ban for life as well. 'kin keyword warriorism.

[Slinky Skills]

Absolute dickheads. He is **** but he doesn't deserve that kind of personal abuse. Embarrassing really.

It's WRONG TOTALLY...And this extends to all fans from all clubs world wide...but this is what social media[all platforms] has created be it from you phone or computer or at Stadiums. Football is an ugly business now.

[Irishnev]

There are some absolute morons out there and it is so difficult for players to balance interaction via social media vs dealing bull**** like that. It is obviously some keyboard warrior but that would unsettle me as a player and you'd need v thick skin to let all that go over your head.

Better off not having a social media presence than dealing with clowns like that.
