Lewandowski went for free after running his contract down and Gotze had a release fee clause in his contract. Not much any manager can do to stop that happening. I think what he means is that he would never sanction the transfer to a rival club, if taken out of his hands via a release clause or contract expiring then theres nothing he can do.
 
First most jobs in liverpool ended up moving to manchester then some wise guy decided to put the closest work permit center in the region in liverpool

Jeez british humor is indeed tops

Not that i'm defending what Klopp sais, though to be fair, Bayern triggered Gotze's release clause so it was out of his hands, and Lewandowski ran down his contract and opted to sign a pre-contract with Bayern, again, out of his hands, I think what he's implying is that he would never sell directly to a rival as Arsenal have done with us in RVP and now Sanchez, and to be fair, Klopp hasn't sold any players to direct rivals. So he's correct in what he is saying

Eh? Sanchez was out of Wenger's hands, his contract was up. Best they could do was make sure they got some money / a replacement.

Didn't realise that. Surely we need to leave it for a post signing discussion? Mods?

When he signs there'll be a new thread to discuss it.

If I'm not wrong, the longest threads are:
  1. Paul Pogba - 1091
  2. Arturo Vidal - 647
  3. Sanchez - 612*
  4. Ronaldo 2008 - 515
  5. Alexis Sanchez - 495
  6. Berbatov - 485
Amazing that the others were all long-drawn summer threads (how the feck the Vidal thread got to 647 with absolutely no information is a mystery). Surely this thread must be the fastest growing in history? It's just 14 days since it started! That's about 1,750 posts a day!

I like how you copied my post - claiming it as your own - but forgot to remove the 495 Sanchez.

Just say what you really think, Jurgen. You're almost there...

"United. Great Transfer, great club. Alexis, the same, also. What a beautiful relationship. What a signing. I mean. Wow. Boom. Big signing. Haha... We're playing Swansea tonight, did you say?"

He/They are choosing to sell us Sanchez now so that he doesn't go for free in the summer, which Klopp hasn't done, so he hasn't sold anyone to a direct rival, is what i'm saying.

I'm not sure how using a quick google search to look up a fact makes me a Klopp lover, he's Liverpool manager, on principal I cannot stand the guy and there's plenty to criticise him on, but he's not exactly lying is he?

arsenal isn't exactly selling to us out of the goodness of their heart, if you are going to cut klopp slack because lewandowski ran down his contract then you need to do the same with arsenal because that's what their players did and it was either sell and get something now or lose them for free in 6 months

At first, I assumed this was a style thing, demanded by the respective outlet, but I've seen it a few times now.

Is 'The Chilean forward' wrong?

I think both are correct, in the sense that he's Chilean, and plays for Chile.

But then, I'm Brazilian and know very little of the english language.

I'm not cutting Klopp slack, i'm just saying he hasn't sold a player to a direct rival as he said, despite what a twitter post has said otherwise.
 
Can we please get this finished off. None of us are getting any younger, especially Sanchez. His best playing days will be behind him if we don't get this transfer completed.
 
I've left the gym within 30 mims of getting there thinking there will be an announcement at 6pm.
 
tbh this is dragging, and most people already know about the transfer, they should just announce it cause people might end up burnt out by the time they do

He has already booked in a testimonial.

Sanchez ran down his contract too.

Klopp didn't allow Lewandowski to go to Bayern. He
Made him play his last year of contract to which they signed him eventually on a free. With Gotze they paid his buy out clause and there was nothing legally he could have done about it, unlike Wenger who decided to sell at his own will

Really wish Jose would consider tapping up Emre Can to sign for us in the summer. Not only is he a good player available cheaply that we could do with, but it would be worth it to see Klopp gnash his teeth and their supporters go ballistic as though it was Figo himself moving.

well, you quoted the tweet and the tweet said "leave" not "sell/sold", you then proceeded to argue that it was out of klopp's hands, i'm saying if that's the mitigating factor, one could form a substantial argument in arsene's/arsenal's favor on a similar basis

Right, but apparently people aren't grasping the concept that Klopp made Lewandowski play his last year instead of selling him, at which point it was up to Lewandowski who he wanted to play for, not Klopp. Arsenal have taken the choice to sell him to us right now, yes Arsenal have got the better deal out of it than Dortmund did but the point remains the same that he hasn't sold any players to rival clubs.
