[Liverpool: Then and Now @keithjones84]

Union Street at Spellow Place, 1960s and 2026

[M I K E @modk2004]

@BIGEMMYLFC You won't get rid of him on the contract he's on

[M I K E @modk2004]

@Braden_LFC Except you can't make a player under contract leave. Chelsea have a bomb squad of players they want out and can't get rid

[M I K E @modk2004]

@BBCNews Been in advanced talks with them for 12 months

[M I K E @modk2004]

@kittycat542 He didn't have much time in between flights to Netherlands

[M I K E @modk2004]

@adz92darnell He was never signing. Kept putting up new obstacles (wages, then signing on fee then agents fee) in order to run down the clock. Nothing takes 18 months

[M I K E @modk2004]

@AnythingLFC_ @JamesPearceLFC Hell struggle to get a long term deal elsewhere with that injury record unless it's a pay as you play deal

[M I K E @modk2004]

@TheAnfieldWrap He confirmed he ran down his contract with his "new chapter" post

[M I K E @modk2004]

@ATLiverpool_ @FurlowCharlie And I suppose he'll bring mendes, dembele, vitinho, hakimi, doue with him

[M I K E @modk2004]

@SteppaMusic @ATLiverpool_ @FurlowCharlie Yes come to Liverpool. Leave that world class team you've been given the funds to build and work with gakpo on the left and frimpong on the right

[M I K E @modk2004]

@AnfieldEdition Yep. I was thinking at Xmas when it was clear he wasn't wanted at villa that i could see him at Bournemouth under Andoni!

[M I K E @modk2004]

@LFC So much for all the gas lighting of fans

[M I K E @modk2004]

@AnfieldSector @_pauljoyce It's been going on 18 months. He's strung Liverpool along putting up new obstacles to run down the clock

[M I K E @modk2004]

@TheAnfieldBuzz @alex_crook He didn't want to stay
Price yourself out

[M I K E @modk2004]

@AnythingLFC_ We must be getting freebies in

[M I K E @modk2004]

@Ameer_Kotecha Almost every business you can think of is registered with home office to sponsor and give visas for cheap foreign labour

[M I K E @modk2004]

@AnfieldEdition @FabrizioRomano So, basically, he kept putting up new obstacles to run down the clock....

[M I K E @modk2004]

@TheRealSouth25 Everything sounds like he was playing us. If you keep throwing up obstacles and makes up excuses during a negotiation, it can only be to string it out so you don't have to sign

[M I K E @modk2004]

@AnfieldWatch if he has a good WC and we can get +£50m - then yes sell and reinvest

[M I K E @modk2004]

@LFCLaurie It doesnt work like that, players can just refuse to sign for another club and all you can do is cut of your nose and stick him in the reserves
