Well, why would you pay someone more when it's likely you'll get less out them over that period? And at the end of that period you can't get your money back.

Problem we have is he is in a position to leave on a free anyway..

Can't really see a compromise.

Why is it likely? And who is to say what he is asking for isn't less than what a replacement might cost?

Do you expect him to take a pay cut or stay on the same contract he agreed 4 years ago, while all other players have signed improved contracts since?

Anyway, it's a pointless discussion as we don't know if money is the issue.

Although I can see this record being short lived.

That's a mental stat when you think about all of the great teams we've had over the years.

It's even more remarkable when you factor in the fact we weren't the crushing machine we've been for the last two seasons when Gini first signed.

Shows the quality of Klopp's Liverpool.

Mr UNDERRATED

I would have no hesitation in offering him the cash and the contract.
Over the last 2 years I think he has genuinely been world class. He plays the big games, is always solid, never looses possession and technically is one of the best players on the planet.
I think he will be very similar to Millie in a few years. Gini is super fit, looks after himself really well and I can still see him doing a brilliant job for any team in his mid thirties. I also believe he will be a huge influence on the younger players. We are truely blessed to have leaders like him, Hendo and Millie

The lads that came in 2017 (Robbo, Salah etc) are, incredibly, on track to obliterate that record.

Gini is great though. I really hope he stays. But, look at Thiago, sometimes a player just wants a new challenge. He’s been a great signing, will go down on folklore for his ‘Angry Gini’ Barca performance!

If that's the case, good luck to him, but the indications are that he wants to stay but a contract can't be agreed for whatever reason.

It will be a shame to lose him.

I see Simon Hughes of the Athletic said yesterday unless something very dramatic happens there's no chance of him staying.

Here's Klopp on Gini:

"We've had situations like this before, with Emre Can for example. He played and he gave his absolutely everything until the last day of his contract and Gini will do the same, no doubt about that. No harm to our relationship for ever."

FFS.

Saved that article yesterday but forgot to read it.

Been available every game I think, only rested once when Thiago played against Everton.

[Fredo]

He’s due a rest though. As soon as Hendo is match fit he will be rested.

Half time, I'd be looking to make a change or two here.

[Kenneth]

Specifically Gini? Take him off twice ?

wrong thread

Really disappointing if he doesn't sign a new contract, looking at how many games everyone else misses through injury Wijnaldum leaving would be a big blow.
