    According to The Mirror, Porto expect Liverpool to firm up their interest in Otavio after they rejected a £26m offer for the ace from Leeds. The Portuguese champions believe the Merseysiders will submit an official bid over the coming week and that it will be £8m more than Leeds were prepared to pay.

    The only rounding up done was to get that self absorbed gimp out the door ASAP.

    I'm just saying that is what we do. Whether or not the players involved are actually good enough to drive results in the comps fans only seem to care about.

    When people go on about 400k a week for salah moneyball explains why we won't

    Same for mane

    Same for a lot of average enough players in our squad that actually hold us back.

    Diaz propelled us last season, absolutely injected juice into us. Thanks to spurs stepping in to take the long time target. While.minime and origi and are spunk circle favourites they could never propel us from thinking 4th was OK to a real title fight.

    Minime score goals in the cups most fans (not me) didn't care about he got a good run against pretty **** teams
    Great. Now let's see if the next lad (carvalho) is any better.

    7mil for carvahlo. Also money ball.

    well, I guess we’ll see if it was his analysis or Klopp’s eye that made the difference - I know who I’m backing!!

    Bale goes to who gives a **** mls club.

    Or in other words has creamed massive image rights over past 10 years and wants to cash it a in now. Low tax location to do so.

    600k a week for many years but retirement home.

    After that world cup and full retirement?

    That’s according to Italian news outlet Corriere dello Sport (via Liverpool Echo), which claimed that the Reds are ready to pounce for the 22-year-old, who has handed in a transfer request and will not return to the Serie A club following a meeting.
    His contract will expire in 2024 and any move will likely involve a big fee, with Klopp looking at partnering De Ligt with compatriot Virgil van Dijk at centre-back for Liverpool.
    An offer of around €70m (£60m) should be enough to spark negotiations as the Merseysiders face a battle with Manchester United and Chelsea over the defender.

    Wow, we’ve gone from finishing out incoming transfer business to potentially spending another £200m.

    Perhaps City's accountants are moonlighting.

    The supposed itk guru has said we are done buying.

    However we are still to sell based on clubs plucking up the courage to do a deal.

    1. Phillips. no takers again. cheap as chips won't let you down head the ball merchant for 10mil. could be loaned again.

    2. Neco Williams. Rumours of fulham and forest battling however if either actually want him they might actually stump up 15mil.

    3. Rhys Williams. No word of anyone actually wanting this guy.

    4. Ox. absolutely no word on any wanting this lad either

    5. Keita. another unsure about.

    6. Ben Davies. rumours of him blinking into existance abound before a 5mil move to celtic.

    We will see a few more loans in the u21s (its not u21 league again btw)

    quanash might be loaned
    Owen Beck is also one to watch
    Leighton Clarkson - hasn't done well so far on loan
    Tyler Morton - big preseason coming. he he doesn't showed up ripped and 2 stone heaver he'll be on loan too.
    Balagizi is supposed to go on laon - nothing announced yet

    Robbie Fowler giving us his take on the Salah debacle...

    "I won’t pretend to know what’s going on with his contract, but clearly the answer is: nothing much. And that leaves so many questions unanswered. One thing is obvious, the club has done some very clear, precise and unemotional calculations with Mane. He’s 31 in April, has a huge amount of running in his legs, and wanted a huge contract as one of the best players in the world.

    "I don’t blame him for that. Mane is the equal of virtually every world class star at the moment, and rightly wanted that recognition with the going rate for the last big contract of his career. What Liverpool so obviously did though, was run their analytics - which to their credit they do so well - and decided selling him to buy Darwin Nunez and keep their wage structure in place was the right thing for the club. It begs the question, what calculations have they run on Salah?

    "Again, I don’t know all the answers, but what screams out to me so clearly, is they won’t be breaking their wage structure to keep him. If they were prepared to do that, it would have happened by now. But look, I can’t blame Salah for wanting the going rate, just like Mane did. He’s the Premier League Golden Boot winner, he’s the Footballer of the Year and in with a great shout of the Ballon d’Or top three.

    "What salary does a player in the top three in the world command? He obviously believes it’s more than Liverpool are offering. But if my old club are running complex calculations, then so too is Salah - and it can never be a precise science. I think him saying no matter what happens with his contract, he’ll be at Anfield next year was clearly a threat.

    "His calculation is that if he gets to leave Liverpool next summer on a free, with his salary and with a big bonus because there’s no fee, he’ll get that level of wages. That can work, often does. But there’s another calculation, which I’m inclined to believe Liverpool are currently running. Will he still be the same player next summer? Look, he’s been one of the best in the world for a long time now. But since the turn of the year, he’s been - by his standards - pretty average.

    "Look at his goals record. Six from open play in the whole of 2022, a lot of missed chances, some heartache in the Champions League final when he could have won it - and probably the Ballon d’Or along with it. So he and Liverpool must ask: is that temporary because of the punishing schedule and his exertions for Egypt? Or is time catching up with him? That’s the question other potential suitors must ask too, if and when he becomes available. Can he stay at the summit of world football well into his 30s, or will he begin to fade?

    "I have to confess that I’m beginning to believe Liverpool are concerned it will be the latter, otherwise they’d have done more over a new deal. And maybe they’re waiting now to see how he starts next season."

    People reading too much into it all. We don't want to break our structure, Salah does. Highly unlikely there will be an agreement and he will be off.

    If his stats do fall or continue to stutter, then we will look smart

    To be fair, it’s only the press whipping up a storm. Most LFC fans know the score and trust Klopp.
