phew, and Fab?

[tedmus]

Well they're in the squad at least.

Of course he hasn't.

But what do you think a non-signed contract extension and "I'll be here next sesaon" (his last on current contract) is likely to mean?

With respect, we don't know whether there is anything signed yet or not. No-one has revealed much at all. You could be cynical (like I was at first) and just assumed Mo's "reveal" means nothing more than he's not signing for anyone else this Summer, OR, it could mean "we're all teasing the hell out of you and Mane and I will both be signing new contracts".

Wouldn't actually surprise me now (especially after what Mane let slip) if it was the latter.

In any case, I can't wait for tomorrow night and I bet neither of them can either.

[Adam.]

Hope you are right Flip

And agreed in last point!

Is this only being shown on BT sport do we know? And legal alternatives….?


Thanks and I wish you well.

[jammy-git]

There's probably a good Sportek site you can watch the game online on.

Usually if someone HAS signed, they usually like to release the news on the eve of a major match.

They may tell the team tomorrow and save the announcement to post the game. Either a massive high added to or a "we go again"

Yep.

Starting to get a few butterflies now for tomorrow. Going to get worse from here on in!

Just seen the Klopp interview when he was asked about the Mane rumour. Whilst he tried to play it down and turn the focus towards the CL, he did say:

"Wherever Mane will play next season, he'll be big player".

What he did not say is Mane will definitely be here next season.

A price of €50m has been mentioned in the media, which is a decent return for a 30 year old having already lost Origi on a free. Be interesting to see what materialises after the final whistle tomorrow. Part of me hopes he stays, part of me thinks we need to start a small refresh.

[Flip Martian]

I could be wrong but I think if a deal for Mane to go elsewhere was imminent, it would probably have been leaked somewhere.

I'm starting to think about moving the sofa.

Now that's what I CALL "starting early"...

[anonymous-user]

Not sure if it's any help but when I turned on my Virgin box this morning there was a big splash screen saying

CL final, free for all, channel 532

Looks like BT Sport so assume will work similar on Sky

[Adam.]

Think they do it every year

Very generous when you consider the hundreds of millions they pay for the TV rights, but I guess huge audience = huge advertising revenue

[epom]

And just like that here it is, Champions League final day Have a great day all, enjoy it and here’s hoping. Up the Reds.

[type-r]

On the edge of greatness here. Win the CL and hopefully go strong again for the league next year and there can be no arguments.

[Adam.]

There will always be arguments
