Apparently the Salah deal is agreed with him and Roma, and he's due for a medical Tuesday.

Feels like he's a good fit, and he wouldn't be the first ex Chels player to crack on once they've left.

Apparently Liverpool are going to bid £70m for Naby Keita. Which, well, it's not my money, and he's supposedly really good, but is a lot of money.

If they're spending £70m on 1 player, might as well re-approach Southampton about VVD. Generating goals isn't really the problem.

I think the idea is that's he's a Kante style midfielder who frees up a space for say Coutinho to nominally play midfield while doing no tackling, a la Fabregas

This is becoming the norm (with players being written off before they're 25) but I don't think it's necessarily true. There's plenty of players who have only kicked on after 25.


£10m in today's market will barely get you a Championship-level player. Also:

Fair points both. Even so, £25M still seems ludicrous.

Believe it's still ON, but nowhere near bolding just yet.

The theoretical window of Salah, Robertson, van Dijk and Keita would be genuinely excellent. Oh well.

That would take an assload of money and I'm not sure FSG are ready to drop upwards of 200m in a window. Be thrilled with either Keita or VVD.

I reckon they are, they've gone pretty hard after both. I'm more interested in Keita than van Dyke tbh. I'm a bit worried about the leaving Southampton effect, and he wouldn't really help with team's habit of sitting deep and counter attacking

I don't get it. Wouldn't Atletico get the full 110m from the release clause? Why would they accept less? Does some of it go to the league instead?

If Coutinho goes for 120m I'm going to cry.

And lol. Because someone on this forum said last summer if PSG offered 45m for him we should take it and then a load of people ripped into me for saying we could get at least 60 for him.

It's a shame that money is essentially meaningless for Liverpool, as even if we got £200m for him, Pulisic, Keita and van Dijk still wouldn't be for sale.

That would be an amazing deal and therefore is complete bollocks and won't happen.

His name has come up as a makeweight in the deal more or less since it's been proposed. Tbh if we could turn Coutinho in Rakitic, Mahrez/Seri/whoever and have a bit of cash left over, that'd be a pretty decent transfer.

Quite sure RAWK will still poo poo themselves and say that we should have got Suarez back, but whatevs.
