English journalist defends latest ‘Jurgen Klopp wants ex-Manchester United striker’ rumour

It's Friday so we're not going to tax you too much with heavy rumours and boring details.

Instead, let the fine folk of Twitter tell you all you need to know about this morning's wildest transfer rumour, as reported in The Times. https://twitter.com/FourFourTweet/status/692993091553263616 And this is the link to the article, hidden behind a paywall, boo. Bullshit right? Well according to these people, of course it is you numpty. https://twitter.com/liam11/status/692992064594841601 https://twitter.com/DaveOCKOP/status/692842885222256642 https://twitter.com/Wollerto/status/692847462801760256 Why don't we let the man behind the story explain it all. https://twitter.com/RorySmithTimes/status/692845442657177600 https://twitter.com/RorySmithTimes/status/692849191702306816 Rory includes the fact that Klopp has shown admiration for the Mexican in the past and is understood to have tried to sign him at least once for Borussia Dortmund while Liverpool tried to buy him from their hated rivals in 2014. In our humble opinion there is no way that the ex-Old Trafford fan favourite will be let leave this month by Bayer Leverkusen, and it will take a huge bid in the summer to see any movement from the Bundesliga side to consider selling arguably one of the best players in Europe this summer. That's how a story like this would be normally dismissed, but since it's being written in The Times, more people are willing to believe it may happen. https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldWrap/status/693009760606654465
