The police, journalists, Madrid fans all back Liverpool fansā¦ But, but, but
Maybe look at dates instead of scanning headlines like a dullard.
Iād say we might go in for Darwin Nunez or Nkunku from Leipzig if Sadio lad does decide that he has no more worlds to conquer. Reports today linking us with some Terrier lad who plays in Ligue 1. As @Cheasty mentioned Jude Bellingham would be the dream addition to midfield. Iām sure weāll be caught by surprise as always with a couple of thrifty unheralded signings that turn out to be brilliant.
27 May 2022. Your tetchiness suggests you may have got caught up in this fake ticket scandal yourself?

Dont piss on the messanger
id do what burt reynolds did to the inquiurer
The whole mane thing seems very strange. Arguably the best player at near the peak of his powers is leaving one of the best three teams in the world where he seems extremely happy playing for the worldās best manager and with a unified squad. Heās leaving for a pittance and there doesnāt seem to be a suggestion heās doing it for personal gain. Heās also āonlyā won a couple of major honours and it seems would still have unfinished business in that way. And no one seems to be batting an eyelid
Bellingham and Nunez would enable Liverpool to really go again.
I suspect thereāll be cheaper versions of them out there that Julian has lined up. Theyāre on an excel spreadsheet
Those who have wanted out from Kloppās Liverpool havenāt exactly set the world on fire since - Coutinho, Can, Wijnaldum, etc.
United willing to pay 85 million for Nunez. Theyād probably give him half a million a week wages. Liverpool will offer about quarter that a week.
Coutinho was the only one of them deemed a big loss when he left though. Mane is probably their best player this season. Is there something Iām missing about why heās leaving or why nobody seems that surprised or worried?
I suppose itās the fact that he only has a year left on his contract that is the main factor here. Liverpool donāt want to lose him for nothing next summer. Maybe his wage demands are too much, but of course this could all be a ploy to manufacture a new contract too. Heās 30 now, still very much in his prime but Liverpool must have a decent replacement lined up. We have no reason to doubt them after Coutinho in Jan 2018.
The perplexing thing is that he could be bought for anything over Ā£25 million. Even with just 12 months left on his contract heād surely be valued at somewhere closer to Ā£50-60 million. 6 years is a long time in football though and heās had some great days. Won every major honour at Liverpool who had just finished 8th when he arrived.
sadio does his own thing
Mane weighed yp the odds and has confirmed he cannot live the shame of being associated with Liverpool anymore. A few Kop lifers text me saying similar last couple of days
Sadio is a magnificent man and owes the club nothing. Simultaneously extending himself and Salah on mega wages as they enter their thirties may be a step too far for a frugal club.
Yeah itās very weird especially the fee. I canāt think of an equivalent leaving such a good team to join a worse team.
A hall of famer. His cheeky grin and wonderful generosity will never be forgotten. Even the best teams have to be freshened up eventually.
Take a day off.
These Hall of Famers have won it all and play in a gruelling league in a team that canāt afford to rotate them. A lot to be said for a new challenge with Bayern/PSG in an easier League as they wind down towards retirement.
