There should be a spirit of the game rule. We relax the punishments for FFP during covid unless your clearly taking the piss. If corona is effecting your finances you shouldn't be going out spending a fortune on players anyway. FFP is to protect clubs and football this isn't just a plaything for bored billionaires, murderous states PR exercises nor should it be a money laundering operation for unscrupulous arseholes. 

This. Spending then claiming you have failed FFP because of coronavirus should be a punishable offence.

Yeah relaxing it so City can spend £300m whilst other clubs have to renew the contracts of Dejan Lovren just isn't on.

Liverpool have made contact with Napoli and Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly, 28, as a potential replacement for Joel Matip.

[INTORRESTING]

VVD, Koulibaly and Gomez - not sure that's fair on the rest of the league

 

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Ain't nobody doin shit brah!

[TheHowieLama]

Lovren, Lallana, Shaqiri - we are gonna be stuck with all these jabronis for another year - and Karius returns. What a day, what a day.

Nantes have struck a deal to sign Pedro Chirivella on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract with Liverpool, with a deal expected to be formally concluded on Monday or Tuesday. [@GFFN] https://t.co/UsDV6QKmHG

I’m actually pleased for him. He wasn’t getting into the first team here but he’s a talented player and will suit a slower league where he will have time to strut his stuff.

Rumours of a short stay in the Bundesliga have already begun to swirl, however, and the player’s former coach at Norwegian side Bryne – Alf Ingve Berntsen – has urged Haaland to consider a switch to Merseyside in the future.

 

“I’m a fan of Liverpool, so of course I would like to see him play for them,” said Berntsen (via Goal.com).

 

“English football is by far the most popular in Norway. And most young Norwegian footballers dream of playing in the Premier League, as did Erling’s father (Alf Inge Haaland).

 

“I sincerely believe that he has the skills to play at such a club. I don’t know what the strategies of Real Madrid, Manchester United or the other big clubs are with regard to Erling,” he continued.

 

“But if I had been responsible for the six to eight best clubs in the world, I would have bought him immediately. He is already very good, he has shown a great personality, he scores a lot of goals whatever the level of the opponents and he is only 19 years old.

 

“He will continue to develop and in two years he will be one of the best.”

Time for a new feature...Ridiculous Red Rumour...

 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is exploring the idea of signing Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, according to a report.

 

The fanciful idea has been mooted by French source Foot Mercato, who claim that Klopp is looking at a loan deal with an option to buy for the powerful midfielder.

Give yer 50 million for 6 points.

[Anubis]

So we’re going to buy a player who’s commitment to training and general fitness is reportedly suspect, and drop him into one of the fittest, most hardworking teams in football?

AS Roma hope their good relationship with Liverpool would help them get Dejan Lovren at a discount price - The Italian side is said to want to pay €5M (£4,38M) for his services, considering his entering his final year of contract. [@Gazzetta_it] https://t.co/X41zhBm4PN

for all the good they've done us, i think it would be fairer if we gave them €5m to take him.

 

its the least we could do

[Funkasy]

Selling the best defender in the world should give us a premium price straight swap with Koulibaly

[Numero Veinticinco]

As much as I think it would be a misuse of funds, a partnership of Van Dijk and Koulibaly would be hilarious.

Team could always use another Talles man.

[Reckoner]

Bournemouths next disappointment

[SlugTrail]

I have just watched 1 min of his YouTube highlights and have decided he is shit.

 

This approach worked for Markovic so it is a strategy I am employing again.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Couldn’t even get through his YouTube video.
