Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[Reckoner]

I wish I could remember who called me a naive cunt or words to that effect, simply for saying imagine having Caceido instead of Henderson next season.
As it is the atmosphere has appears to have improved greatly so let’s forgive and forget.

Why, our wage bill is one of the highest in the world, we pay very well all in.

Overall wage bill is irrelevant in this situation, we have never paid our top players the same amount as teams like City and Chelsea, or other oil funded teams like PSG. We stick to defined structures that don't allow exorbitant wages, unlike those other teams

[No2]

I'm chuffed with this, somewhere buried deep in the forum is my suggestion to the club to fuck off Bellingham and buy Caicedo and Mac Allister. It always made more sense, the club journalists where all saying we had a huge kitty to spend, the 3 we got represents better work than Bellingham plus one other.

[Pidge]

We've pissed the Colwill money away...

Absolutely a fair point and I agree.  But I'll be made up if it happens.

Can’t believe there are people going out of their way to put a negative spin on this. 
 

oh we’ll sell him in a few years…

oh why have we waited this long?

oh why didn’t we just get Bellingham then?

 

It’s a sickness. 

 

Agreed, if we get him, there is no negativity but but we haven’t seen the lean yet, will he agree terms, Will Chelsea come back and match the offer … 

 

that Jorg is a lad isn’t he Chris …

Bonkers but interesting/enjoyable news to wake up to.

 

Any chance we'll get in a left centre half as well?

 

Steady on, John Henry's already in the E R having an ECG.

More likely we'll sign Andre for January.

Fucking hell. Let's get this window out of the way before we start panicking about January.

While he's there, give him a walletectomy, pass it on to the boss

For what it’s worth this was my mate this morning. 
 

Chelsea knew of our interest but then they  also knew every club in the top half of the league had spoken with his agents, they didn’t think our interest serious and as such have been dragging this out. 
 

Player has got frustrated after he’d given his word at the length of time it’s taken to get done. Especially having done everything he can behind the scenes to hurry this up was feeling let down by promises made not materialising yet. 
 

The big guy (Boehly) is a law unto himself, they expect Chelsea to match our offer knowing they’ve offered the player approx £220k a week and let the player decide. 

 

”If this doesn’t go through I guarantee there’ll be articles in the press trying to blame Pochettino for it not going through. 
 

I’d still say it’s 50/50”.

Can't beat a bit of yank on yank action. Hoo rah

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "I can confirm the [Moises Caicedo] deal with the club is agreed, whatever that means in the end. Of course, we want the player and not just the agreement.

"We don't have endless resource. We didn't expect a couple of things to happen over the summer but when that happened we gave it a go.

"Let's see what happens and we go from there.

Is he due for a medical today?: "I don't know."

On other arrivals: "Let's go step by step and see what happens. We have plenty of time to go."

[No2]

I wonder if the delays in Fab and Hendos sales was such negotiating cash up front? As a result we're in a position to pay Brighton most of the fee where are Chelsea are in never never land.

Think it's moved on at a faster pace now. Done deal. Fuck Chelsea, we must at least be matching what they offered in wages.

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Even if this deal doesn't happen, the die had been cast, we can shop in Harrods.   

[BeefStroganoff]

Is he thick? Why would you want to go to Chelsea? He should talk to Costello.

A sad day for the forum.

 

 

[El Rojo]

If it was to fall through, I hope we'd take another crack at Tchouameni with that kind of money, especially if Real are trying to secure Mbabbpe.

We are Liverpool.

[an tha]

The only fly in the ointment for me is potentially wages - those plastic cunts could well offer stupid wages - but of course unless they can get an offer for the fee agreed with Brighton then it is irrelevant.

 

I reckon we will unveil him at some point tomorrow.
