How sad.

The sportswashing the Saudi’s can get Liverpool e-fans to do now will be incredible, in fact the reaction to it on social media is nothing but delight and like the whole thing is normal.

Pathetic.

What would Bobby actually have to do before he crossed a line and you didn't leap to his defence?

If you had paid attention to my post, I mentioned any footballer not just Bobby. My post was a generalization about any footballer going there.

A poster boy for a brutal regime, sad way to end a brilliant career.

You obviously have given Bobby every chance haven't you.

You and I have no idea, none, what Bobby might end up doing behind the scenes once he gets there. Nor any player or manager who goes. That's why I said from small acorns grow large trees.

Do you expect a footballer to go there and completely change in a short period of time the government/religious human right abuses? If so, more power you.

For you they shouldn't go at all. But you give them no benefit of the doubt that they might think they can make some changes around them no matter how small.

As for me, won't watch a minute of that League. Bobby, Fowler ( favorite player ever}, and Gerrard ( Legend and potentially the best player ever) being there. Still won't get me to watch.

So i'll ask you, The Saudi's have poached three of my favorite players and I still won't watch their League, how have they sportswashed me?

It may be 'allowed' for the likes of Ronaldo, Firmino and any other dickhead that goes over there to aid their sportswashing, but it wouldn't be OK for you or I to walk around the town in 45 degree heat with our shirt off.
They're not going to start arresting these c*nts that they're paying millions and millions of pounds to promote them, they'll just do it to everyone else.

Islamophobia  ;D Get a grip of yourself.

It's one reason these footballers will be able to claim they're not aware of any of the accusations against their bosses. There isn't a hope in hell that they will have to follow the same rules as residents or bog standard tourists. They will be steered in their own little bubble, kept away from the realities facing anyone not part of the blood money machine.
Oh, these sour times.

No one admires resilience when you were just plain wrong all along - that's just twattishness.

I understand the disappointment, but we never offered him a new contract. If he refused our contract just to go there, I'd be very pissed and disappointed, but i guess in this situation there's not much to say except good luck Bobby.

I’m sure a player of his talent wouldn’t have struggled to get some very good offers from Spain, Portugal, Italy....

He’s gone for the money (obviously) as is his right, but it’s still grim, and has nothing to do with not being offered a contract at LFC.

Nothing wrong with him leaving us, regardless of whether or not Klopp wanted to stay. No need to judge him on that. Won all he could, spent many a fantastic year with us, and left with his head held high.

There is something wrong with joining the Saudi league for a big fat paycheck, especially when he could 100% still get first team football elsewhere. It also shows how wafer-thin all this Born Again evangelical Christian "morality" is as well. But that was obvious, considering the support for Bolsenaro among our Brazilian players and their familieis, so this is not the biggest surprise. Sadly.

That doesn't make it blatantly clear an offer was on the table.
Could have been Firmino saying not to bother offering a new contract as he won't be signing one.

Think the most likely scenario is the club said they can give him a short contract on certain wages, but he figured he could get more elsewhere.  Which is fair enough.  Just didn't think elsewhere would be a retirement league in a country where his family won't have the rights they're used to.

Tell you what, Bobby must be very grateful to his former captain to taking the heat off him. A few weeks ago we were disappointed and angry that he went to KSA but now, as a free agent who didn't speak out on LGBT issues, he doesn't look so bad any more. It's like when Saturday Night Live did that GW Bush "bet you like me now" skit in the wake of Trump.
