Liverpool Thread - 2023/24

FSG must be gutted
They know they could get £200m for him, but they can’t replace him and it’s too late
I think Saudi are doing this like Madrid with mbappe last year
It’s for the headlines not the player
They could have done this a month ago, why today on deadline day
Especially when the Saudi deadline is 3 weeks away

* FSG must be buzzing.

They still have 60m left minimum (based on the Caicedo bid). Add to that 200m they cant spend. Plus next years funds. Klopp should be given 400m next summer. No way that will happen. They will give Klopp 250m and pocket rest.

Joking apart the authorities need to do something, if they can. You can't allow a club with unlimited wealth to just sign all its leagues best players. They brought ffp in to stop ourselves doing this so they need to get their act together quickly.

Ceferin says it’s no problem, it’s like China. He’s hopelessly wrong.

Not sure ‘the authorities’ can do anything at all, to be honest. Not only that, if the players want to go, why shouldn’t they?

Agree

There will be no cry for FFP from cartel clubs in the Asian FA (i think thats the right confederation). If anything the asian FA will want saudi bringing all the best players to its confederation and encourage them.

I think there is fuck all chance of any financial regulation for the Saudis.

FSG are waiting for a 200 mil bid.

It will be accepted.

They've identified Mitoma and Felix as replacements. Felix looks set to sign for his first pick Barcelona but Liverpool may go in to gazump it and offer Atletico a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation.

Wonder how Stretford and the red scousers would have faired had they been unable to hoover up other teams' best players in the 80s / 90s?

Sounds familiar, like the cartel when we started our rise.
Let's not be hypocritical.

I wouldn’t say he’s hopelessly wrong, but he is certainly substantially wrong. It’s definitely a much bigger threat than China.

Despite some Liverpool fans thinking he's past it, Salah had 46 goals + assists last season.

Jota, Gapko and Diaz had 33 between them.

I'd say he's pretty important, and not easily replaceable.

Turning down 150m for a 31 Yr old who's on 400k a week seems absurd. Diaz was injured for a lot of the season, Salah starts week in & is penalty taker.
Not being in champions league, they could probably get away with his goals if they could find a decent centre back. Does it makes life easier for fsg if they sell him next week.

Nah. Fuck all to do with the FA and UEFA and fuck all they can do about it. It's always been a free market, that's not going to go changing now just because the UEFA clubs aren't the richest anymore. FIFA won't do anything as they know this.

Go ask a River Plate, Corinthians or Boca fan how they feel about the fairness of this.
You'll get one of two responses. Either they won't give a shit because their best players are always signed by wealthier foreign clubs anyway, or they'll be delighted to see the European clubs getting a taste of their own medicine.
Go ask any French club that isn't PSG, any German club that isn't Bayern, etc etc.
