I've had money on him leaving for a few months now, since he came back and looked as miserable as Mourinho whenever he scored it was obvious he was off in January. The VVD deal and now this just confirms it to me, that and I think Ladbrokes have suspended betting on it.
The saddest part is, as a LFC fan I'm not even bothered by him leaving. Never took to the lad despite his obvious talents and with Keita coming in to add some grit to CM I don't think he'll be sorely missed as it'll allow Mane and Salah to shine more, and Lallana will take the place of the sulky Brazilian quite quickly (I hear VVD is a beast at free kicks too so there's a replacement for that)
The last player to leave I was sad to see go was Alonso and to a lesser extent Lucas who wasn't the best of player but a fantastic fella. Maybe that's me getting older and more cynical but I just don't give a feck who leaves now, if they don't want to be at the club then adios, you won't be missed for long - if at all.
A good GK, an extra striker and someone like Goretzka brought in with the money and it'll be a positive rather than negative for me.
