Mamadou Sakho

[Bender]

Would I **** mate! Ah ha ha ha!!

[MrMichael]

I do think it is interesting that he's had issues more with attitude than ability throughout his career so far. It is a shame as he is capable of being an excellent player, but if the manager can't trust him then a fair price, which we'll now hopefully get, and a good replacement in his stead will be best all round for the club.

Mamadou Sakho says he served his punishment under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and “does not know what else he can do”, as he opened the door on a return to Anfield.

Sakho was loaned out to Crystal Palace in January after falling out of favour with Klopp and the centre-back has impressed in five Premier League games for Sam Allardyce’s men.

Allardyce is keen to sign the 27-year-old permanently, but admitted: “It would be a big negotiation at the end of the season.”

Now Sakho has spoken about his future and admitted he would be “happy” to return to his parent club.

“I still have a contract for three more years. If I were to wear the Liverpool jersey again, I would be happy to do so,” Sakho told Telefoot.

“I was late for training, something that happens everywhere. I paid a fine and I do not know what else I can do.

“It is up to the boss. He makes the decisions and I can only accept that.And we will see what happens if my future is elsewhere.”

Mamadou Sakho: Wanted at Saints
Klopp recently said the door was open for Sakho to return at Anfield.
“That is nothing we have to decide in this moment. So that is it,” he told SFR Sport.

“He made his first appearance after a really long time [on February 25], and so all we have to do is to be focused on the season and this squad here.

“I will not talk to you about potential transfers we make, so it makes no sense to talk about players we gave on loan. We will see.”

Michael Beale: "Sakho was playing in front of 1,000 people then. His attitude was outstanding. I have never seen anything like it.

Sakho was never, ever late when with the U23s, and he worked his socks off. He could not have been a better professional."

"For a team like Palace, Sakho is a god-send. He is not usually someone they could afford, or even pay that sort of salary."

"It will be sad if there cannot be some form of reconciliation, because I think LFC still need Sakho."

"Everyone is looking for a left-footed CB. If Sakho leaves LFC, he won’t be short of offers. He's too good for Palace.

"It is a shame what happened at LFC. Both parties have lost. I don't know the ins and outs."

"If Sakho was able to play v Sevilla in the Europa League final, LFC would have won. I'm sure of that."

The only negative i can think of is he is injury prone and nor is a player that would be happy on the bench, even occasionally (see Everton).

I don't think he's that great of a professional as there's just too many examples. I don't think Klopp and him get on so we'll just have to make do with £30m for him instead.

[Slinky Skills]

Yeah agree, no way is he coming back.

[Alex]

Klopp strikes me as a pragmatist. Hopefully they can sit down.

It'll be hard to justify spending money on a player if there is one worth a good amount on loan to a relegation struggler.

I hope there is more to this than we know though.

[baitman]

i dont think klopp will be the sort to trust someone who has undermined his authority and acted so unprofessionally.

you may think klopp would consider keeping him as its better than spending on another player, but its very likely as we'll get a top price for sakho and this should cover the cost of a very decent replacement.

He has probably gained us as many points by helping beat our rivals at palace as we lost by not having him here. I say we keep buying players and loaning them out so they can help take points off our rivals and then not play Vs us.

That's been Chelsea's tactic for a while now

Classic football ownership nowadays , and he can't play against us when we have Palace next

Plus if we do sell him now going to get 20 million easy I reckon.

Win Win all round for the club , makes a lovely change

Cert for £30 miilion now

[Daffy Duck]

Yeah the hype is up, three games and he's suddenly not considered a ****e Bambi-donkey hybrid by fans of other clubs anymore, so it's easily a £30m in this market.

[gratziani]

That would be good news , imagine nearly getting 50 million for Sakho and Ibe
