Erling Haaland has rejected Manchester City's proposal to extend his contract as he does not want to remove his €200m release clause. The Norway striker turned down an extra €40m in salary and an improved goal bonus as well. (OKDiario)

to free up 200k a week in wages, they can take for a free IMO. (they can't register him though)

My view is simplistic at this point.

Lets grow again from scratch and stop being so loyal.

Alisson hand on heart is our no 1.
Kelleher is out., Davies is coming,
adrian new contract being mooted (vomitous waste of foreign slot)
Trent is the RB, there is nobody else.
Ramsay and bradley are just not there. This is an issue for the no 6 thing as no senior RB cover
Konate is RCB. he's either a hero or looking like a panicked child. also seems birttle.
Gomez is sole back up. (matip gone)
VVD is sole LCB. (major issue here)
Robertson is by far the no 1 LB choice
Tsimikas is alright for europa
Fabinho with respect is really leggy and past it now. very young to say so but the evidence is clear.
Bajcetic is our option at 6.
LCM is an issue. there won't eb one bar jones in 2 months time.
Henderson is 33 this summer. RCM, i think not.
Elliott is not an RCM. another issue
Salah is salah. just the odd 28 goals and 11 assists thus far. clearly a terrible player
nunez is nunez. we won't be selling
Gakpo is bobby lite in klopps mind
Jota is lw/ bobby lite mark ii in klopps mind
Diaz is diaz.
Doak is a wild card kid for forwards as Carvalho is likely out.

I make that 16 senior players plus Davies, bajcetic, ramsay, elliott, and Doak making a total of 21

Cleary this is nowhere near enough.

Lets park the forwards. There's 5 very expensive, senior players there who are all ready to go.
Lets park the keepers. We are offering Adrian a 12 month extension for no good reason bar we don't want to bother getting anyone in.

Defence first:
RB is an issue.
LCB is a major upcoming issue. So is RCB A buy here looks an absolutely sensible plan to avoid major catastrophe in a years time. We won't buy.

Midfield next:
There is no two ways about this, it is an eyesore it was last august and will be again.

Henderson is a 20min player very soon, if not already. he is james milner but doesn't realise it yet.
Fabinho won't go but can't cut it.
Jones is jones.

and thats it really. thats the senior midfield, thats the team that started 3 of the last 4.

elliott and bajcetic are still kids really. nice to have them but with a reputed 433 we need minimum of 6 reliable CMs. We have 3 that won't cut it.

We need 3 but will buy TWO

We have scope for FIVE foreign buys

My view of sales is this
Kelleher - 25mil. he wants to go.
Phillip - 5mil. at best
Williams. Another minor amount. 2-4 mil.. if lucky
Carvalho. name the price? who knows but i just think he will be out the door as a makeweight to get money in. 20 mil? 15? I dunno.
Bradley - potential for 5-6mil there.
Matip - could be on for a nominal fee this.

lets give ourselves a total budget of 130mil after sales. (bookmark that one, i think it will be really close)

We will get I think max 3 players in with TEN departing.

Departures:
Firmino - Confirmed 0
Ox - Likely 0
Keita - likely 0
milner 50/50 0
Arthur - confirmed.

I think Bajcetic will continue on the great progress he made this season, I have great expectations. I also think Nunez will prosper next season

Joyce confirming that MacAllister is high on the list of targets. Same article mentions thisgo requires surgery and is out for the rest of the season.
 
Dichotomy of Liverpool

Penny wise, pound foolish

Oh we must negotiate hard on Ugarte (if we are even bothered) and take a month to end up on some plus add ons way to get the player

Meantime Thiago out (again) so 10million in wages tied up for no real return.
Phillips never played but held again for what 3rd window debating if someone will pay 15mil when he could have been gone for 7 to 10 then. Will be lucky to see 3-5mil now.
Kieta contract ran down
Oxlade ran into redline in preseason for absolutely no reason when a 10mil deal should have been put together and him being let be fat and useless rather than be injured
Keeping milner on on decent wages


It seems to me is we want to claim to work smarter we should really apply this to all areas.

Look on the bright side though we might make 5 mil off leighton clarkson from celtic.
