Can confirmed, all the best! You showed us a lot of potential but never quite lived up to it,
I believe the Italian league will suit you well!

I always liked him. Sad to see him go. Wish him all the best.

Good luck to him, he's played his part in the progression of the team.
That overhead kick versus Watford is my highlight of his time at the club.

A handful of good memories but ultimately he was never consistently good enough, lacked effort in his last 12 months, and ran away when there was suggestion he might have to compete for his place in the side.

It's no loss in my brutally honest opinion. Wish him all the best for the future though as his first few years he was a hard worker and never moaned about Rodgers wasting his talents and stifling his development in a back 3.

Good luck to the lad, I think he'll do well over there.

Agree with that summing up MK, will look a better player in Italy too. Will suit his slower style of play.

Brutally honest would mean, he turned like milk, dwelled on the ball, slow acceleration, 0 positional sense, weak in the air for his size and not fit enough for someone his age.
I will commend his commitment and above all else his maturity in how he’s gone about the last 12 months. A model professional and I do wish him all the best.

I agree Salah. The pace will suit him much better. His lack of mobility and agility hampers him in the Premier League. He'll have a good career.

Plus he will be playing for the only consistently legitimate title contenders in Serie A. So he is guaranteed medals. Personally I'd find medals with Bayern, PSG or Juventus to be hollow achievements but it is something to show the grandkids I suppose.

Will he get into Juves side? they're midfield is much stronger than ours and he wasn’t a guaranteed starter here when everyone was fully fit.

"Personally I'd find medals with Bayern, PSG or Juventus to be hollow achievements but it is something to show the grandkids I suppose. "

Thats pretty short hand, just because he left liverpool doesn't mean you would underrate every league.
Bayern and Juventus are very big clubs with history as good as Liverpool and presently doing much better than.
winning any league requires effort and commitment. and as a professional player you will want to win these creds and medals.

Emre decided he wants to continue his football journey elsewhere and that is his decision. he fulfilled his contract his obligations to the club and was always professional and dignified in his conduct. he played effectively on the pitch and was the best midfielder on several occassions.
I hate these LFC tinted glasses everyone on here keeps on. Its not all about LFC and not everyone will feel the best at LFC.
Mr Klopp had an honest chat with Can and Can made his decision. Would you fight for your place in a club (even if its your favourite one) if your manager told you he wasn't going to start you every game because you don't suit his style of play?

Ak I'm not saying the leagues are poor standard hence why I didn't mention Celtic, Porto or Basel. They win their leagues because the competition is currently atrocious. The problem in Italy, France and Germany is not that everyone else is poor, but that the top team in each division is absolutely miles ahead of the rest consistently for a long time because of Financial spending power.

My biggest fear is that Man City do this for the next 5 years and make the Premier League boring too. I wonder if their IS any other league in Europe who have had 3 different winners and 3 different runners up in the last 3 seasons? Leicester and Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs, Man City and Man U.

For me, a trophy means more if you had competition of an equal standard. I'm not saying the likes of Dortmund, Napoli or Monaco are bad teams. I'm sorry if it was misinterpreted in that way. They will win the odd title or cup. They are fighting against financial powerhouses though. If I put an acca bet on right now for Bayern, PSG and Juventus to all win the league next year, I'd be amazed if the odds were as low as evens.

Obviously that should say Porto or Benfica as they have traded the title between one another for the last 16 years. Although come to think of It, Basel have been pretty dominant too!

I just hope the Premier League never goes back to what it was between 1996 and 2004. Just watching two teams trade the title for nearly a decade is depressing. Thank God Atletico Madrid keep Spanish football interesting.

I know it doesn’t work that way but I’d love to think he was only offered 4 years contract rather than 5 because it took him a year to sign!

Scored some crackers did Can, a few big goals too. I thought he was technically gifted for a physical player. Looking on the good side of his game. Smug celebration that I would hate to be on the wrong end of.

mk, I didn't find LFC dominating the league in the 70/ 80's boring at all!

I get what you are saying the leagues aren't competitive but that is not actually what you said in your initial post. You said there is no fun/ pride in winning medals in a league which probably isn't competitive which is not true. Winning is winning. Medals are medals. Just because you didn't have enough competition or resistance doesn't make it any less at all. Also It's not like Bayern or Juventus don't have competition. Hell serie A was the only league that went down to the wire this year. Also on player level there are so many top level players at Bayern psg Juventus you are competing with them too. If you are star midfielder in a club that is winning consistently you are considered among the top players worldwide in the sport. Brings you more media attention and brands sponsors too if one is into that. So professionally it's a well thought out move for emre can.
He has a wise head and has been definitely advised well. And he didn't drag the clubs name in gutters haggling over transfers throwing is baby toys. These are little things, and apart from pjanic I don't see any midfielder Juventus has who is ahead of can.
Can was a more than decent player that played wherever it was required for him to play and did the job for us. Definitely deserves a heartfelt goodbye in my books.

I know what you are saying buddy but it comes down to the individual which is why I said "Personally" rather than state it as fact.

Fully appreciate some people may feel differently about winning. I just think winning is less special if it is a minimum expectation. That is why the Champions League means so much to Juventus, PSG and Bayern. Winning the league is a prerequisite for them.
