Yeah, but we all have a fair bit of knowledge of how the game is played (or think we do) whereas I doubt many of us have a clue about the club's finances. I'm happy to let the powers-that-be decide on how we spend - they seem to be doing ok atm.
How do people feel about going for Kalvin Phillips, City are supposed to be after him. He would certainly strengthen our midfield.
Meh. Don’t see big fuss over him tbh. Can’t see what he’ll add to our team that isn’t already there, plus would be massive cost with english tax on it.
Hee HAW! thats how i feel. 26, not that tall, bit of a henderson wannabe in that he runs about a bit. I wouldn't be exactly that interested in him... but then rice is just as overbloated and expensive.
Liverpool have submitted offer to sign £60million PL playmaker – Decision made Liverpool have submitted offer to sign Raphinha - Decision made (paisleygates.com)
phillips likely to be loaned back to bournemouth which IMO is a bloody cheek of them. he is signed up to 2025 so we wanted 15mi and bournemouth are just back in on loan. Its likely we will accept a bid somewhere Williams, mooted to fulham but again fulham will likely try to go cheap so we could screw them over. 15mil minimum. Minamino. Monaco are now loaded and meant to be looking (wild specualtion) 17mil is out quoted number Mane - shat the bed - 35 mil or something to some nobodies. Origi gone Ox - nobody wants him. Karius Gone Adrian - unknown Kellher - mouthed off recently on international duty - may be angling for a loan.... need to be careful with that. Ben davies is the man you all forget. who the **** wants him? Van den berg likely to return from preston a hero and worth all of 2 bob.
Mane wouldn't be zero on the books. £34m initially over five years = £6.8m per season. If he signed a new deal after three years; he'd be £13.6m in the accounts at that point. If he signed a three year deal, that £13.6m is split over those three years (£4.5m per season). If he were to leave in the final year of that second contract, he'd be on the books as a £4.5m asset. Pocket changed really but not zero. I don't know when the contract was renewed etc so the above is just an example. Theatrically, can never be zero.
Backup. All our others are better left or centre. And Salah is going. This summer or next. Maybe they want him now so the post-Salah transition is more seem less. Dunno.... But would be surprised to see two forwards come in in one window both for over £60mill, but could happen.
Given the shartilce says the guy says no cos he wants barca I don't think we need spend too long on this one.
Well for the curious among us. Its a £30m base fee and 20% ongoing revenue for sales. Which is different from the usual larger fee upfront.
I don't think we'll see two forwards either. Think Klopp likes one at a time; get that one player our way before starting on the next. Incoming players learn from those already there
