Liverpool rejected CP's Sakho bid of £22m (+3m in add-ons)

I kinda love that we seem to be absolute cunts to deal with nowadays. Wasn't too long ago that we'd just bend over once a alright bid came in. Seems you either pay what we say or can fuck off now.

So annoying that we had to sell Sakho. The part of our squad that needs upgrading the most and we let him go. Better be bringing a CB in.

Moving Gomez to centre back will be like a new signing.

CP spent all last summer haggling for Benteke, and Liverpool never once budged on price. After their poor start they were forced to pay up for him. It will be the same this time.

 

[Zasa]

Think it's pretty close between Griezmann & Hazard in the dat ass department, imo.

 

[Pachimari]

emre mor to Celta... wowwwwwwwwww what a steal.

yeeeee

How much did they pay?

I'm gonna have to keep an eye on him at Celta.

 

[King_Moc]

Apparently Palace were offering £22m+3m, which we've rejected. Jeez we really want that round £30 don't we?

As we should. We know how much money they've got, and they know how good he is.

 

[Dadasch]

Decent sum: 13 Mio.
That's a steal indeed.

Preston North End forward Jordan Hugill has handed in a transfer request.

But he's not going anywhere! https://t.co/AjmJbNlaPJ https://t.co/oq07pKndRu

Wanted by, Birmingham, Reading, Leeds
--------------------

Even Championship prices are fucked up....

£7.5m!

Reading have agreed a deal to sign Fulham forward Sone Aluko.

60 million!

Per cheek maybe. Wifey won't let it go for anything less.

 

[Cappa]

13 million which in today's market is fine and when they eventually sell him they can easily command double that. Celtas coaching staff is top notch(even if they are off to a very rough start this season)

I mean Dortmund paid 9.5 million after one good season in Denmark. It's celtas second most expensive signing of all time.

I'll have to check with my middle eastern backers, bloody prima donnas

@SkyKaveh
Man City may be willing to let Raheem Sterling go as part of deal for Alexis Sanchez. But they're asking for Sanchez AND money from Arsenal

😂

I had no idea there were so many Liverpool fans here.

This is my surprised face. He is literally incapable of having a good game without doing something stupid at the same time.

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

I'll remember him for the good times. Honestly just glad we'll be getting over the situation, people crying how Sakho would have solved everything for us got boring.



There was a tweet yesterday from them saying "Phone lines in our office are buzzing with all this news!" and everyone replied with "You mean in your bedroom m8?" I got way too much enjoyment from that.

Apparently he's just some guy who works in KFC. The day the official account roasted him was glorious.

 

[Doc_Drop]

FFS, please sell him. God damn, him and Shelvey are dumb as rocks

 

[Moobabe]

I had no idea there were so many Liverpool fans here.

After a few decent performances they all come crawling out

I knew it. We wouldn't have lost otherwise. Cheating scum, something, something, trying to make myself feel better.

As she's also my agent she feels entitled to a 30m signing bonus every year for 5 years too.

I'll be sure to leave days after she's been paid one lol.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Sterling

If this happens Arsenal are officially dead. I wouldn't blame Lashley for never returning.

I had no idea there were so many Liverpool fans here.

It's a little eerie honestly, I was hoping our stint in Off Topic was actually going to promote diversity *shrug*

 

[sammex]

Big bid going in for Lemar around €90m- pretty sure Coutinho will be off now.

 

[CrayToes]

That's quite a bit of money. I like it. Fuck it. Let's play a team of number 10's.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

The whole Coutinho thing has been a whirlwind of how to feel about it... If he does go, well, the cash being splashed right now is a charm offensive from the owners that has worked on me. Plus our last few games have shown there is life after Phil, especially with getting a new midfielder in.

Let him leave before nailing down a replacement and there'll be hell of a backlash though.

Monaco could afford Messi by the end of this transfer window.

 

[T-Rex.]

€160m for Coutinho according to people on Twitter.

I still would rather have kept him, sets a shit precedent when you continuously allow your best players to leave.

 

[PowderedToast]

klopp changed his mind on cout and now wants to get rid, which is why we switched from ox (utility) to lemar (creative)

 

[Lunar FC]

I'm excited about the Keita acquisition and the pursuit of Lemar, building squad depth in the midfield is going to be important this season. But it's still just shocking to me how much we have avoided addressing our actual needs. Can't even begin to understand.

 

[DBT85]

Wait I thought they were adamant that he wasn't leaving under any circumstances?

 

[brokenbeans]

How good is Ryan Sessegnon?

 

[T-Rex.]

Sounds like Klopp is the one that wants to get rid. Only wants players here that are 100% committed and want to be here.

sunday's game symbolizes the passing of the torch. liverpool are now the arsenal of about a decade ago -

- gorgeous free-flowing attacking football
- love to go one touch on the counter
- always vulnerable defensively
- especially weak at setpieces
- dodgy goalies. all of them.
- randomly get beaten by allardyce and pulis-esque sides
- never fix weaknesses, just sign better skillful fast players
- often lose best player (suarez, coutinho)

 

[PowderedToast]

it was dependent on klopp who has changed his mind, basically at the time the sudden interest in lemar began

there has definitely been a change in strategy

 

[Beefy]

How good is Ryan Sessegnon?

Very why?

 

[MikeBison]

I'm fine with Coutinho going as long as someone in the team spends their days in training practising belting one into the top corner from a nothing situation outside of the box. Henderson has done a few but nowhere near enough. Get Lemar on it when he comes. Never score a tap in. Not allowed. Only screamers.

Fine, I'll just sell my promising but unproven dong to Barcelona for 200 mill, don't you listen to bids from PSG mind

Soon

 

[Floody]

€160m (assuming add-ons would be reasonable this time) for Coutinho would be insane. Still super mixed on how I'd feel about him going though.
Be really disappointed if all the recent transfer activity was only due to getting a fuck load from Barca though. Would mean FSG are still unwilling to spend too much.


Will wait for a more reliable source before believing it though. Oliver Bond is very hit or miss (and his only hit seems to be Keita).

Thanks for the feedback Liverbros, loads of you responded so I won't quote you all but cheers!

Mods better start banning some scousers and unban Lashley to rectify this situation.

on the other hand the inevitable meltdown will be so much more enjoyable to watch here

 

[Johnny Cage]

I'll be sad to see Phil goes if he does end up leaving. But I suppose it's always a question of when not if with Barca involved.

United and Spurs keep getting linked to him.

If Mou wanted him I wondered if he would try and slot him in or loan to a prem team for a season.

Why Lash get banned?

[azyless]

For this price and if we get Lemar or someone similar I'll ship Coutinho off myself tbh. Obviously a fantastic player but I can't see myself ever cheering for him again with this behaviour.

Still baffling we're letting Sakho go and we haven't even signed another central defender. Unless somehow van dijk is coming but I don't really believe it.

https://twitter.com/anfieldexpress/status/902586725091946496

There's no way they didn't know he was lying, as they had medical stuff look at him. So I really doubt that'd be the straw that broke the camel's back.
