Klopp has much more brains than we give him credit for. ..wld never spend that on 33 yr old.
Nd by the way, all this constant crap abt our goalkeepers. ..we actually have 2 very good keepers…stop making out that they are bad in order to bring in Hart. ..our keepers will become great under Klopp !!!!

Spending more than £12m on somebody already 33 is too ludicrous for words and especially when Soton are deciding not to offer him a new contract. They see him in training, we don’t. Another year and he’ll barely be able to climb a flight of stairs, let alone chase around a football field for ninety minutes with kids nearly half his age.
Or is he going to be the first player EVER to be able to ignore the ravages of time? I’ve never known a player, of that age, be as good as he was when he was at 25 so let’s just accept that he is now on the wrong side of 30, he IS deteriorating – albeit slowly – and he is NOT going to get better or even be able to play at his current standard in a mere 18 months when he’s 35 . . . an absolute geriatric in footballing terms.
More than £13m for eighteen months work, maximum, before footballing senility sets in? Don’t make me laugh.
Must be a reason why Soton aren’t planning to offer him a new contract and the likelihood is that they see him as somebody now over the hill who needs replacing. If he’s not now good enough for them can he be good enough for us? £3m or £4m, okay, but not serious money, surely?

In reply to Valentino. In certain circumstances, I might be inclined to agree. However, as like in Klavan's case, the club were not asking for 15 million. Klavan was available as a free agent. Asking that much for a player that is almost the same age, I believe, is excessive.

33 is just a number hence we should not focus much on his age.
If he is physically strong and can be in a position to contribute for the club just like Klavan

I have been well aware of Liverpool’s interest in Fonte as have several other teams. I was not aware, however, that he was 33 years old. Ok, he is a top class defender who is already very experienced with the EPL. However, he is 33 years old and they are talking about 15 million. They just signed Klavan, ok, albeit 34 years old, but he was free. Liverpool need to forget Fonte for that money and look at either the Bundesliga again, or another suitably physical league.
