Mamadou Sakho

[McDermotX]

Was waiting for one of 'em to speak out this week.


"If I say 'sound lads', now I know what that means: it means 'cool man'".

[Vermilion]

Can totally understand him feeling like that though, him being the way he is..

Some players just find it harder than others to be sat on the bench, without hardly a squeak at the first team, especially when the defence wasn't exactly working as it should be.

I'm still none the wiser as to whether he's good enough for us tbh, he's never really had time to form any sort of partnership at the back, or be part of a regular back line.

[McDermotX]

True........plus he's a guy who seems to lose his head completely when Lukaku gently touches him.

Probably wanted to kill Brendan at that rate.

[Vermilion]

I hear he's good at Golf too, so he was totally ****ed!

Stevie still doing the texting thing.....

Mamadou Sakho has revealed how he received a text message from Steven Gerrard after donning the Liverpool captain's armband for the first time last month.

In the absence of Jordan Henderson and James Milner, the French defender was named as skipper for the Reds’ Europa League draw in Bordeaux.

And afterwards, Sakho was sent a text message of congratulations from across the Atlantic by Gerrard.

"Steven is an example,” said Sakho. "Also, he often sends me small text messages like after my first match of the season at Bordeaux, in the Europa League, with the captain's armband.

"He texted me to congratulate me. He said: ‘Continue to fight like that, I'm proud of you.’

"It's always nice to receive such a message from a great player

Bit more here. Love this bloke

Mamadou Sakho revealed the source of ferocity that he displayed this weekend against Everton and striker Romelu Lukaku.

In an interview with French newspaper, L’Equipe, Sakho likened himself to a ‘caged lion’ while Brendan Rodgers kept him out of the first team.

“Let’s say that during the short period when I was not playing, I was like a little caged lion who has not fed for a while,” said Sakho. “When you open the door, he charges.”

The Frenchman has been on quite a journey since walking out on the team in disgust at not being selected for last year’s Merseyside derby.

As a result, he was not seen in the first team for months. Injury and last summer’s purchase of Dejan Lovren, another left-sided centre-half the manager seemed to favour, continued to limit Sakho, despite impressive performances when given the opportunity.

The defender also spoke of the continued influence of former captain Steven Gerrard, who congratulated Sakho’s recent Europa League appearance as the Reds’ captain.

“Steven is an example,” revealed Sakho. “Also, he often sends me small text messages, like after my first match of the season at Bordeaux, in the Europa League, with the captain armband.

“He texted me to congratulate me. He said, ‘Continue to fight like that. I’m proud of you.

“It’s always nice to receive such a message from a great player.”

Despite all the challenges, the 25-year-old former captain of Paris Saint-Germain continues to show his affinity for Merseyside, not just on the field.

Sakho has been a prolific ambassador for the club in the community and has even been studying up on his Scouse, thanks to team mates.

He even shared some of his local acumen: “If I say ‘Sound lads.’ Now I know what that means. It means, ‘Cool man’.”

He gets it doesn't he. Only 25 as well, hopefully see a competent CB coming in under Klopp to play next to him

[Daniel 7]

Klopp might bounce him out, you never know

[RichC]

Always possible but I doubt it

[frank the tank]

I think he will be one of the players that Klopp will feckin love. When he gives Sakho one of his full force slaps across the face, then Sakho will just be hungry for more!!!

One great thing about the new manager will be the fact that transfer fees will mean sweet **** all. Because he had nothing to do with them. So Klopp can have an unbiased look at the likes of Lovren and Lallana and if he thinks so, then simply bomb them out. Doesn't matter what they cost if they are not good enough. Whereas Brendan would need to play them because he ****in bought them....

BR did the same with the likes of Charlie Adam and Downing.........and carroll.

Hopefully though, Klopp will find Benteke and Firmino somewhat useful....it would be a kick in the cock to have another £60m flushed.

Also, everyone seems to think that Markovic could come back to LFC and feature and develop under Klopp. It would be interesting (not necessarily good-interesting, but interesting none-the-less) to see Balotelli back as well..... a full force slap across his face would be hilarious!!!

Expanding eyes and glove tattoo's.....love the fella

Klopp and Sakho are going to get on like a house on fire

Allen, Milner and other pedestrian ****e in the team must be ****ting bricks. Good.

No room for wasters.......man the **** up, or get the **** out !

In fact, if we don't hear of dressing room ruckus, that'll be a sign of problems.
