Liverpool will let Kylian Mbappé walk to Real Madrid, because Jürgen Klopp runs things differently - Liverpool.com (not their official club website)
- The Reds tick every box for the French superstar, but the Reds can more than make up for what he brings to the table.


A few golden parts of this:

The deal with Real Madrid is said to be all but done, so what can Liverpool take from the #Mbappé2020 campaign that never was? Firstly, there was clearly no attempt to hoodwink supporters into believing it was a genuine possibility. Some of our closest rivals have played such cards down the years in order to boost season ticket revenue and drum up a false sense of status at the club. If anything, Liverpool have looked to play the rumours down.

Such honorable Liverpool.

It remains bewildering that at the age of 21, the player is already beyond Liverpool's reach in terms of status. Yet it shouldn't be forgotten that this is a matter of choice. That for Mbappé to join Liverpool he would have to be leaving AS Monaco as a relatively untested and manageable asset. If he walked into Melwood now he would change the whole structure of finance and status at Liverpool, two things which have become secondary to forming a collective mindset.

Sure, it's a choice not to go for a mental prospect in Mbappé - and totally not Mbappé's choice, or one made because of his transfer price or anything. No no.

The fact is that Klopp and Liverpool simply aren't in the business of buying global phenomenons, but making them. That can be said of the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker. Despite what was written when they joined the club, these players were far from the finished article and were nowhere near the level of player they are now.

"The fact is that..." - The global definition of = "This isn't actually a fact, but something I believe, and therefore will claim to be a concrete fact.

Ah, yes. The far from finished articles, unknown to the majority of the world, completely obscure signings:

• Mohammed Salah, £37.80m transfer fee, mid-twenties when signed, 31 league games with 28 Goals+Assists for Roma the season prior to signing.
• Virgil Van Dijk, £76.19m, mid-twenties when signed, totally not a global phenomenon when signed despite crazy hype and 76M paid..
• Alisson, £56M + £9M bonusses reported - globally record setting fee for a goalkeeper until Kepa's transfer, mid twenties when signed, definitely a normal price for a below phenomenon or hyped up goalkeeper.

But the most prolific superstar in the making is one who was born in the very city the club lives. All of the things Mbappé brings both on and off the pitch is being replicated by Trent Alexander-Arnold. He is a marketing and sporting heavyweight in every sense. For that reason alone, Liverpool have everything they need. Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid is therefore a fight they no longer need to be a part of.

Okay, so All of the 18 goals and 7 assists in 20 league games from Mbappé this season, 5+5 G+A in 7 Champions League games, 13 goals in 34 games for France as a 21 year old, are being replicated by a 21-year old Right Back with 29 League games, 12 assists, 2 goals this season. 9 games for England, 1 goal?

So naturally, with Trent on RB, there's no need to pursuit a player like Mbappé - but only because they don't want him, okay! Not because of any other factors, they're simply just allowing him to "walk to Madrid". Gotcha.

(And yes, of course they've done some brilliant deals to get their team to where they are, but some of the stuff being spouted is just ridiculous.)

To be fair, Klopp has gone on record to admit that he didn't even want to sign Salah, it was an executive decision.

But yeah, having 80m players like Keita on the bench, signing Van Dijk, Allison. Fabinho for big fees. They did buy the league and there's no shame in it, just annoying they try to hide the narrative.

He's absolutely spot on. The poorest crop of strikers I've seen for a long time. Not just in the PL btw.

Van Dijk usually gets bullied by Giroud every time they meet, image him vs some of the great PL strikers of the past.

Ade was a good striker, but him being in that list reminds me of this...

...definitely the odd man out

 

[Tir Na Nog]

NEVER forget.

 

[GDeep™]

NEVER forget.

In all my years following football I have never seen this covered, other than small mentions.

Even then, it’s painted as Liverpool fans were victims, i swear to god for many years I thought this was another bad thing that happened to Liverpool FC.

I didn’t know it was actually Liverpool fans murdering poor Juve fans.

 

[Lidl_Reed]

Murderers

 

[Oh_Snap]

Kinda weird how those two teams only played two games against each other since 1985, isn't it? *adjusts tinfoil hat*

 

[Macho]

Pathetic from them

They made their stance clear when Suarez was blatantly caught using racial slurs and made the team come out in t-shirts to support instead. I wonder if people have forgotten.

Pretty sure big crowds won't be able to gather like this until 2021, so are they going to have a parade in the middle of next season...?

People are gonna gather regardless. Rules are softening world-wide and so are people's tendencies to follow the ones still in place. Especially with a major event like winning a title after 30 years.

Will be very surprised if they manage to contain this.
