On the balance sheets it is; cost us £50mill (plus wages) to have him for a season. (130 to 80 is a £50mill depreciation in value- he costs us £50mill, plus what, another £15mill in wages either way).

Where it differs is, he has fan rapport, team familiarity, is a known entity, etc. which wouldn't be the same thing I know if we were loaning him from someone else.

Purely from a financial standpoint though (with no sentimentality attached), both scenarios (loaning him for £50mill or his value depreciating £50mill) would suggest he alone brings £65mill in financial value to the team. Which could be valid if his presence meant winning the premier league as opposed to merely qualifying for top four. Or maybe qualifying for top 4 vs failing to reach top four.

Not entirely true because loaning him for 50m is 50m in the expenditure and therefore has a 50m ffp over one season where as already being at the club his cost has been amortised over contract and if we sell for 80m it’s 80m profit and a huge plus for ffp
 
Too many ifs, buts and maybes here. We don't know how high a genuine offer might be, or how much it might depreciate by next year. Guess now, and it could all change depending on how good a season he has.

Gomez being linked to Saudi now.

Absolutely zero chance we sell him this late, with Konate injured until after internationals. Vvd suspended and doubts over Matip.

End up with no defenders for next game if he goes <laugh>

I don't know if I'm correct here, but as it's up to each authority to make their own rules, can't we just change our transfer window so that it covers outs as well as ins?
After a few years then most leagues would probably become more or less congruent, at least in the northern hemisphere where the seasons are similar.

I don't know how this words par se.

the windows apply to registering the player with the authority in charge. I don't know ow thst the English fa could block transfer of the players registration from their end?

I've no idea of the technicalities, which is why I posed the question. It just seems an obvious way to prevent players from being poached outside of our ability to replace them.
Clubs can always just refuse to sell contracted players of course, but that can lead to disruption in the squad.
 
not unless you go a long way in it . The figures everyone gives for CL income is revenue only and doesn't take into account costs of which performance bonus payments can be eye wateringly high.

Wasn't talking about competing in the CL, just qualifying for it for next season (getting top four this season). We were talking about whether or not to sell Salah now with a £50m variance on the sale figure

well surely that was the point of whether or not qualifying for CL would offset a £50m variance or am i missing something ?
which considering the way i'm feeling today is quite possible
 
top 4 gets to the group phase of the cl.

that's 15mil before you kick a ball.

in 21/22 here is the breakdown

Liverpool
Participation: €15.6million
Prize money: €66.3million
TV pool: €17.1million
Coefficient: €22.7million
Rebate: -€4.1million
2021-22 total: €117.6million

yes there's massive money for getting to win it in prize money but the money just handed over for being in it is massive.

compare to europa league. you.can device thr above by 4.
 
If we're selling any defenders this window, it would have to be Matip or Kostas because we really need to open up that non HG spot.
