What's his Juve buy-out clause? I assume he has one as that was a sticking point for him here wasn't it?

Because he left on a free. I think it's a bit strong to say he 'shit on Liverpool' because of it.

At the end of the day, I wasn't bothered him leaving. Would've been nice to get a fee for him, but I can't imagine him getting many matches if he'd stayed.

Yep. - had nice hair, but the speed and turning circle of an oil tanker - wouldnt have made it into this team

So he's been completely useless at Juventus because they have no need for him and is now on United's radar, wanted by Solskjaer of all people? That's when you know things aren't going well for you. His career has fallen off a cliff and I can't say that I feel sorry for him.

If they're interested I wouldn't be surprised if it's to get one over on us somehow, I'm not sure most of the country realises that we weren't particularly fussed on Can and that we're actually much better off without him. I'm pretty sure part of the reason they spent so much on Maguire was because we spent so much on van Dijk and they wanted to one up us.

He is available on loan or to buy?

He might just be desperate enough to go anywhere, as I am sure he will want to go to the Euros.

I can't imagine Juve would want to loan him. They brought him in purely as a commodity to sell on.

Nothing against him other than he cost us circa. £30m

on loan to Dortmund

Good for Emre, hopefully Dortmund is a far better fit than Juventus.

tornado · « **Reply #210 on:** January 31, 2020, 09:33:53 pm »

I dont watch either Dortmund or Juve but would imagine Dortmund style might be more action/pace so would think not the greatest fit for his playing style.

Anyway, good that he got a move to another top tier club. He will be in his home league, he is a good player (otherwise wouldn't be playing for kind of clubs he has played for) who still might have a shot at making his NT.

And pretty sure, Dortmund would have checked with Klopp (as a referral) before even taking him on loan, so the boss rates him as a reasonable player as well.

Why are (some) people still upset that someone who wasn't quite getting as much football as he wanted already, and who saw that new midfielders who were incoming in our side were going to turn him into a rotation player, decided to leave? He went for the most prestigious club he could hope for, and it didn't work out for him. So he's now moving to a club which is probably more appropriate to his pedigree as a player. Good for him.

Might I add he fulfilled his contract and didn’t say a bad word us before or after his transfer, too.

Linudden · « **Reply #213 on:** February 1, 2020, 07:10:52 pm »

It's an exciting destination for him, maybe about his level too? In effect, slightly below the very best teams just like us when he was a first team regular. We'll see.

Schmidt · « **Reply #214 on:** February 2, 2020, 03:03:26 pm »

I think the Can dislike comes from denying us a transfer fee. Ultimately however we signed him for so little because he had various clauses in his contract to allow him to leave his previous club, so it's no surprise he ran his contract down really.

tornado · « **Reply #215 on:** February 5, 2020, 03:53:29 pm »

We signed him for 10m IIRC and he was on something like 30 or 35k, and I think he gave us decent value for that money (goal against Watford that got us CL qualification).
Don't think people should get upset that he left for free.

Klopp: "I am happy for BVB and Emre Can. It's a win win situation, Emre ist just a prefect match for this club. BVB got a top lad, a wonderful, versatile footballer with an outstanding attitude".

But but he left on a free

And the top lad scores a golazzzo on his league debut today

Emre Can from an interview with Kicker this weekend, on his move to BVB:

"I know that Borussia Dortmund had contact with Jürgen Klopp. I am pleased that Jürgen, one of the greatest coaches in the world, must have made a positive judgment about me. After a good two and a half years of working together, he knows me very well.”

Also:

“I had three Premier League deals available, including one from Manchester United. But I didn't think about that for a second because of my Liverpool past.”

Is right Emre lad

I always liked Emre can, i know some people were upset that he left on a free transfer but he never caused any issues with the squad, he's a good player and hope he does well at Bvb.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #227 on:** January 27, 2023, 02:05:19 pm »

Blimey, didn’t realise he had thyroid cancer just after he left us.

Juventus treated him like dirt knowing that

tubby · « **Reply #228 on:** January 27, 2023, 02:09:38 pm »

Kind of puts into perspective his career after us. Hope he's all sorted now.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #229 on:** January 27, 2023, 02:21:33 pm »

Goes to show you never know what’s going on behind the scenes

I hope he’s got it all sorted now. Never forget the Hoffenneim and Watford goals, brilliant player on his day

True that,at times he looked like a complete CM.

Jean Girard · « **Reply #231 on:** February 2, 2023, 10:11:35 am »

We'll always have his amazing shithousery towards the end in that 2:1 win against Leicester. 2 Mo goals, maybe Phil's last game at Anfield?

Glad he's doing alright.

scored a rather opportunistic goal from halfway line

glad he is still doing good at dortmund.

Commentator had too much caffeine!

"A long range smasher" on a ball that started bouncing outside the box haha.

Smart job from Can getting it on target to at least test them though! (and they failed miserably)

he had a bit of a rought time at Dortmund for a while, but he’s really come through now, and is playing very well. If Dortmund hang on and win the league, Emre will be a big part of the reason why.
