Seen it mate ... doubt it will amount to much ... seems like a few player sales in the summer is likely to bring us within the required EFL parameters... and we have Kristiansen and Soumare out on loan at Bologna and Sevilla respectively (both doing well and likely to become permanent) and Harry Souttar and Danny Ward surplus to requirements and not getting games who will also be moved on ... good £50 million + there... that won't impact the squad either ...
How much do you think you're getting for Danny Ward? About 5-8 million imo and that's only if someone wants him. The other guy must be a baller.

Soumare and Kristiansen cost about £33m combined and just don't fit into Maresca's strategy ... Souttar was £12-14m and can't get on the bench - and I'd take half of the £12m we paid for Ward, for sure - Dennis Praet could also be surplus ... him or Ndidi ... and I think Iheanacho and / or Daka will also depart ...

Just because you paid big fees for them doesn't mean others will particularly as half the clubs in Europe are brassic

I told you Souttar was ****e. You’ll be lucky to get 5m back on him. He’s just an ordinary championship standard defender, at best.

As I have made no secret of my disdain for the one title EPL (with asterisk) winners who have spent fortunes buying success in the modern football era (post 1950s) then are the first to bleat about 'fairness' when others do it ... (which we did not, of course - our title winning squad costing roughly 50% of what Liverpool paid for their keeper)

... but I agree with you about clubs taking legal action - stated on here that I, personally, was against taking legal action against Everton when it was being mooted that us, Leeds and Southampton might do so ...
We effectively paid nothing for vvd and Allison btw

All funded with the ford money

147m for ford

65m on Alisson
And 70 on vvd.

There is no punchline

Oh there is ....

"LIVERPOOL's 2019-20 champions cost the club around half a billion pounds in transfer fees, less than the amount paid to assemble Manchester City's team in 2018-19, but still making the reds the second most expensive side to win the Premier League."

... thanks for playing <laugh>

You was on about our keeper costing x amount.

I just told you we effectively paid nothing for him.

Whatever you're now on about is irrelevant to the original point.

But thanks for being played

Your goal keeper and CB cost you a £147m midfielder <doh>

I have tried to explain this to your lot before, Rafa invented "net spend" when he kept selling your best players to buy 6 **** ones.

If you sell your old car for £6k then buy a new one for £8k the new one did notcost you £2k it cost you £2k plus a £6k assett.
 
I remember when football discussions used to be about what happened on the pitch. Now nearly every **** with a social media account thinks their financial experts and throws around terms like 'net spend' and 'amortisation' and 'accounting periods'.

It's both tragic and depressing in equal measure.
Yeah it's boring as **** all this financial talk.
