Genk have allegedly made a 12m bid for Origi 

I feel sure we'd want more than that. At first I thought he might want a better place to play, but when does that new Belgium/Dutch league start?

As has been posted - there is no way Genk can pay his wages - any fee ( and 12mil would be their record transfer it seems, by near double) will need to take that into consideration I imagine. Their highest paid player makes about a third of what the Big Div cashes now.

I don't think it is true.

Just reading that Barca have to come up with 200 million euro to register the new players they've already signed this summer, and it's got me thinking ...

 

Why not replace Gini with another Dutch midfielder? Frenkie hasn't impressed everyone there since he came (although this season he was better) and he's the perfect age to fill the hole Gini's departure has left in the squad. Come on, FSG, cough up a little money - you know it makes sense! He might cost 60m now but he'll be worth 120m after a couple of seasons dominating the midfield for Jurgen!

We will wait until Catalan have their sale.

Not sure it will happen. The Belgians seem to want it but I can't see Dutch fans wanting it at all.

I thought maybe they were in a different financial position as a result of the league but vvvvvvvvvvv would seem not

I had thought it was already a done deal! So Genk are not going to be rich overnight then!

Mbappe is signing for us. I've never been wrong with a transfer prediction on here, make of that as you will.

Wasn't this one of the things the super league wanted to address, it would be nice to have a salary cap but its never going to happen.

Clubs will just find other ways to 'add-on' through bonuses, investments, houses, sunbeds etc 

[Bjornebye]

When are Mbappe and Goretzka leaning on things in Kirkby?

Exactly this

City already do it and it was pretty much ignored

 

Teams like City and PSG will just set them up with jobs as ambassadors for the UAE and pay them under the table

Add on image rights etc

That's some next level financial subterfuge from the Qataris.

Hmmm. Ambiguous. Does ‘us’ mean Liverpool FC or the company you work for. I seek clarification before I hold you to your promise on pain of death.

This is the Origi story.

Origi would be out of his mind to leave.

 

What kind of idiot would leave a job that pays really well, surrounded by likable colleagues, and that doesn't expect you to do anything?
