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.

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.

Red Bull has literally all the money, they don't need to sell. The club just finished 2nd in the Bundesliga and are going to play CL football so why would the player want to leave?
It's odd. They supposedly dont care about money but finishing 2nd and having a chance at CL matches for the first time, their net spend this summer has only been like 20m. You'd think they want more quality in the side.

In any case, Liverpool should move on, offer 80m for VVD just to sate the bloodlust of the scouse transfer horde and call it a day.

Little bit mental but I genuinely don't think Coutinho going would be as big a loss as Suarez was.

And our midfield is Hendo/Wij/Lallana.

It's all irrelevant because he's going nowhere.
Hendo is forever broken though. Coutinho isn't getting sold either; Barca is just trolling them for trying to buy players that aren't for sale.

City are signing Mendy for £52m so they'll have the two most expensive defenders in history and the most expensive goalkeeper in history.

You'd have to include Stones in this so they'd have 3 of 4.

Probably not, but maybe if it did they'd start forcing caps on clubs based on values or something to push a competitive angle again.
Probably not feasible since oil money is a driver of club value. City was valued at $191m in 2010; now they're valued at $2.1bn.

 Liverpool already can't get other clubs to take their supposed $200m transfer kitty. That's probably not changing @ $300m and minus 1 Coutinho.
