The good does not wash away the bad...

I'm surprised that there's been such little interest in him this summer. The pundits were swarming all over him last season making out like he'd single handed saved Crystal Palace's season. Even with our £30m valuation I thought we'd have somebody making a cheeky lowball offer or a loan request or something. But there's been nothing

[topscorer]

£30m is cheap for a player of his quality. I'm amazed he's not been snapped up by someone already

What bad? Genuinely curious.

I think frank the tank summed it up quite well a few posts above.

That said... If we don't sign a cb and don't sell Sakho, he NEEDS to be back in. He's been registered and given his previous #3 for the folowing season anyway.

Drugs and attitude... there may be more, but when you have ready been given a chance, doesnt matter how many kids you visit at christmas... he is paid to be a footballer for LFC.

He just sounds to me like he is detatched from reality, or slightly sociopathic. I guesd when yoy get paid what he gets paid, you expect a minimum level of professionalism.

Exactly. Both Lovren and Matip missed games through injury last season, which would leave us only Gomez and Klavan as seemingly the ONLY other centre backs we have now Lucas is gone.
Which is a bit frightening.

We need a centre back. NOW!

I personally think this all relates to his drug test **** up. He got himself banned from the euros in his home country but he also ****ed up LFC's season run in. He wasn't available for the europa final and we were defensively shocking that night. Moreno did his best in helping Seville win the ****in thing but Sakho wasn't even there because he was so ****in stupid taking his Kolo-pills.

Then when he got his ban sorted out, he came back to pre-season unfit. I suspect Klopp thought he would be the fittest person and most determined player in the squad - coming back with a big point to prove. But no, it looks like Sakho just had an extended holiday during his ban, returned unfit to pre-season training - with a niggle or two. And to top it all off, he was ****ing about on tour, not taking his treatment seriously and basically disrupting the rest of the squad from their work. That was probably the final straw for Klopp and he had to make a stand.

I suspect if Sakho spent a couple of months in the reserves, went back to Klopp with his tail between his legs, realised he was ****ing up his LFC career - and begged for one more chance, then he would have had it. Especially when Klopp was forced to utilise Lucas at CB at times. However, i suspect that Sakho attitude was "i am so ****in talented, better than Lovren etc" and didn't think he had to put the work in or have the right attitude. Plus he probably thinks "i get paid the same regardless"

****in idiot. He proved that by throwing on the tracksuit and celebrating with Benteke in front of Klopp last season. So ****in unprofessional. I remember watching him celebrate with the Palace players as they came off the pitch - you'd swear that they won a ****in trophy the way he was carrying on.

I personally am happy that LFC have kept the stance up. They will have to pay his wages but if we don't get £20m plus for him, then i wouldn't be sorry to see his ****in career ruined. I wouldn't even let him tog out for the reserves to be honest - give some experience to a young fella before this arsehole. He has his contract so he will get paid. But I would make him train every ****in day and fine him the maximum possible every day he is a minute late. ****in cunt.

Crystal Palace are assessing the possibility of a structured deal for Mamadou Sakho, The Reds are prepared to accept an offer inclusive of extras for Sakho who has settled on personal terms with the Eagles. Palace are yet to submit a formal bid, but have the discussed variables around a fee.(@MelissaReddy_)

To be fair - he was cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the drugs thing - I'm not sure how that can be held against him.

Attitude wise, he just seems really immature to me rather than anything malicious.

For what it's worth, I couldn't care less whether he's a dick off the pitch or not as long as he gets the job done on the pitch - which up to all this kicking off, he was.

[dom9]

Cleared on a technicality wasn't he?

[danperkins]

Yeah a catalogue of things with Sakho. Chap is a walking drama

[Charly]

What on earth would posses a supposed proffesional footballer to try someone elses medication in the first place?
