Crystal Palace wants £50m for their CB. https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/li...50m-transfer-battle-amid-alexander-isak-drama
Some of the Newcastle lot are very unhappy. It’s odd though, since the takeover they’ve got CL football twice and won a cup and spent more than LFC have (excluding this window which isn’t finished yet). Yet you’d think listening to some of them that the prem have banned them from buying any players and they’re facing relegation every week. Real upset about PSR which has its cons no question, but talk of its stopping clubs from competing is a bit wide of the mark. Before PSR the same clubs competed for the top titles, since PSR, Liverpool have competed. Leicester have won a league. Forest competed for the title before dropping away and getting Europe. Newcastle and Villa have finished in CL places. The top clubs will always draw the bigger names and generally compete for the big trophies but the fact United and spurs finished closer to relegation and teams like Brighton Bournemouth have out performed them shows that it’s not just about money - but having top staff behind the scenes and a good manager who can improve players rather than just sign better ones.
