Liverpool never spend that kind of money on players. It's not how they do things and I just don't see it. I can only see them doing a deal if a couple of players go the other way to make up the bulk of a transfer, perhaps Naby Keita and someone else.

I think he'll end up at Real Madrid personally. Modric can't go on forever even though he's still great, and Kroos' legs have been gone for a couple of years now. He fits their profile of a "Galatico" down to a tee and they love a good looking, high profile English player. Bellingham, Valverde and Camavinga is some midfield. Not forgetting Tchouameni either.

Liverpool have never had a Saudi-Qatari joint takeover though, which is sounding as though it’s in the pipeline. Just because FSG didn’t break the £100m barrier, it doesn’t mean new owners won’t.
 
150 million euros according to Bergers last podcast appearance a month ago is what Dortmund want a bundesliga record. No way Liverpool pay that.

Paying 75 million for Van Dijk is quite different than the fee Bellingham will probably command. And when they have made a big money signing it's usually been on the back of them getting big money from a sale.

Could well happen. But right now it's all if, buts and maybes.

Madrid are a strange one. They’re clearly interested in the player, and will be one of the few clubs able to get to the kind of numbers it’ll take to sign him - but I just don’t see how they need to commit the money we’re talking here on that position at the moment.

I know Modric and Kroos are on the way out, but the last two summers they’ve spent big on Camavinga and Tchouameni, and they’ve already got Valverde - that’s a pretty exceptional midfield three already, and all with youth on their side.

I can see that Bellingham would give them fourth to enable them to rotate - but is he going to go for that when there are other clubs in the mix that can pretty much guarantee him a starting spot?

Their net spend isn't that high at all. That's a fact, not just random opinions. Unless they do get taken over by someone happy to throw money around, which certainly isn't a given, then Newcastle have more of a chance of signing Bellingham than Liverpool do currently.

Their net spend in the last 5 years is higher than ours, that's a fact. They can just sell to buy like we do?

If FSG didn't take so much out of the club, they would be able to spend pretty much the same as us.

Their fucking owners are the problem regarding their spending - unlike the Glazers .

if FSG were prepared to go without their " share " of the revenues, they would be able to compete.

Don't swallow the dipper shit just because Klopp is their patsy and **** who spreads the owners messages.

FSG don't money out, the reason Liverpool's net spend is so high compared to the gross spend is they keep letting players go for free.

Between Firmino, Keita, Oxlade Chamberlain, Karius, Origi, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Sturridge they've probably lost out on £200m+ in those 5 years by holding onto players until they've got no resale value and run out the contract.

Mané leaving for £30m in a year he finished 2nd in the ballon d'or is similar - he's obvously worth more than double that, but they refused to give him a contract or sell him until they were forced to.

This isn’t true at all.

Liverpool earn miles more money than Newcastle. You’re falling into the “richer owner = bigger spending” narrative. Liverpool’s income isn’t far off City’s and if it wasn’t for money being taken out then they’d have spending power to a similar level as long as their other outgoings were well managed.

So you are saying that FSG don't take any money out of their revenues ?
