Almiron going there is still a coup for the Saudi PL, maybe not a Ronaldo / Benzema / Kante / Mahrez level one but still a talisman from an EPL side they can parade as another face of the whole debacle.

The Saudis won't want to lose face to the UAE ownership at Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way to get around FFP right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVFox Posted 26 January Share Posted 26 January Can see Klopp taking a year or so off and then replacing Carlo at Madrid. Liverpool have to go for Xabi Alonso, makes so much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 26 January Share Posted 26 January Just to add that these in season announcements can go either way remember Man City stating Pelegríni would leave and pep come in the week before we won up there in 2016. They dropped off big time after that announcement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 26 January Share Posted 26 January Big step down that, bit of an era ender really, Klopp going and Salah could be off too. Alonso to Liverpool could be too soon, he should stick it out at Leverkusen for a few years first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 26 January Share Posted 26 January I'd have guessed at Alonso. Thought Klopp would end up going but didn't think it would be the end of this season. Done an unbelivable job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy G Posted 26 January Share Posted 26 January From his statement it sounds like he could of been diagnosed with something? He said hes fine now but he has ran out of energy and can't carry on season after season, hope thats not the case. His video is proper narcissistic nonetheless.
