Sancho.

Fuck that. Not fit to lace Sadio's boots. Let's skip the entire thing, let Sancho go to Barca and we get 100m for not getting involved. Seems fair. Sold.

I think you're being a touch hypercritical as Sadio at sancho's age wouldn't have been fit to lace sancho's boots.

 

Everyone should stay where they are and avoid the need for these kind of shenanigans, though.

Even at that price. I'm not sure why we'd sell. Who comes in?

Can't wait to see Origi on the touchline this weekend, stripped and ready to come on with ten minutes to go.

No way i would want to lose Mane but i wouldn't be shocked if he fancied a move,itll be his last chance a big money move and he could probably nearly double his wages there. The club would probably look at it as the last chance to cash in big on a assest that is nearing 30 and Sancho would be the obvious replacement and 10 years younger. Sounds more a end of this season possibility

i think they are so fucked financially that they couldn't afford the fee we would ask, let alone double mane's wages. for me it is just smoke and mirrors out of barcelona to try and take a bit of heat off the president right now.

Most likey but if they are losing Messi as it says then they are taking over 100 million a year off the books. And they like Madrid can always find money from somewhere. Take Suarez and Griezman off the books aswell and that becomes 165ml a year saved in wages alone

[RoyHodgeGone]

There's one small problem with selling a player for £100m and bringing in someone else equally good for £100m. Agent fees.

Messi is on 50m isn't he? 

 

As for saving money off Suarez , I would think that rather depends. Suarez could and imo would think likely go if he's paid off. At his age he's unlikely to get more than a 2 year deal anywhere and it would that would probably be worth less on 2 years than his value over 1 with Barca. My guess if he's on 20m per year (which is what I think he earns), they'll likely need to pay him 10m to go. Then griezman, how are they getting him off the wage bill? 

[Lee909]

Who, knows there is normally someone stupid enough to take a player. Yeah they might need to pay off some players but that can be spread over time. Messi is on £988k per week and with his loyalty bonus(120ml over 5 years)bonus payments,image rights its in the higher side of 90ml a year

I thought he was on 50m a year plus 9m image rights. But I might be wrong. 

[El Dangerous]

I think Mane is probably as good as Salah, maybe better marginally but if we could swap him for Sancho and maybe come away with some change then it’d be hard to argue.

[The Guest]

I wouldn’t swap Mane and Salah for anyone.  We’ve got Klopp here and he’s spent years building this team with our best players being at their peak now.  Why would you want to get rid of one of them to bring another player in who isn’t as good but might be when Klopp leaves?  Win trophies now and worry about that shit later.

I think people know that the owners never buy anyone big unless there is a big sale. The only way we buy an expensive long term replacement is if we sell Salah or Mane.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Mane is my favourite player he is explosive, dynamite dynamo. 

[Arnaud]

Koeman told Griezmann he wants to give him a big role in the team. He gets his favorite number, 7. 

[Jairzinho]

Wouldn't swap Mane for a single forward in world football. 

[Anubis]

How much is that purported Messi release clause - £630m? Well there’s your price for Mané, Barca.

[RoyHodgeGone]

Got to admit I really like Buendia. I notice he somehow only scored one goal last season but he looks absolute class on youtube. Proper old fashioned number 10. Reckon he could play several roles in our system.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Sign Thiago, Haaland, havertz, Sancho, White by noon tomorrow FSG or I shall label thee cunts! And furthermore sort out the Anfield road end and get Linda and her full length silk gloves to toss me off. Good day.

I would, but he already plays for us.

A Sheffield United supporting mate reckons Brewster is going there on loan. Seems a good fit and a great opportunity to get some PL experience. Their current forwards are pretty poor goalscorers and Sander Berge is there to pierce through balls to him.

I saw this on a link here...

 

Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster will reportedly disappoint Tottenham by heading to Sheffield United on loan for the new season.

 

Brewster recently rejoined his Liverpool teammates after a stunning loan spell at Swansea. The 20-year-old scored 11 goals in 22 games to guide the Swans into the Championship play-offs.

 

Indeed, he has continued such blistering form in pre-season. After netting against Stuttgart on Saturday, he came off the bench to rescue Liverpool a draw on Tuesday. However, it remains unclear whether Brewster will stick around at Anfield, as he did for the first half of last season.

 

Reports have suggested that Tottenham are one of the sides considering a loan move. However, it looks like the player could be bound for Bramall Lane instead. The Daily Mirror claims that Jurgen Klopp is prepared to let the young forward join the Blades in a temporary deal.

 

The move will allow Brewster the opportunity to showcase his talents in the top flight, but it will come as a blow to Spurs. Jose Mourinho had been hoping to land the starlet and use him as back-up to Harry Kane. But he will have to switch his attentions elsewhere, if Brewster heads to Sheffield.

I'd swap him for Mbappé simply because Klopp would turn him into an absolute monster of a player. Plus he's younger.

Swap him for Salah because his favorite position is on the right wing.

[El Rojo]

Sheffield United would be a great loan move for Brewster. Good step up for him and an excellent manager.
