Think they did . I would suspect there is a degree of pettiness between us and Chelsea ref Colwill , Lavia and Caicedo . We didn’t bid this amount knowing it would be turned down by player with all the problems showing our pot of money available will cause in the next two weeks with any club we contact. This is not over by a long chalk if this wee shit does come I will accept him with open arms . He is exactly what we need even though I not fussed on his personality/character

Went all in on a deal that was 75% complete last year . Fair play to Klopp and the team. Worth a punt and let’s be honest it’s a massive punt . If player does not want to come not a problem he not the character we need at the club.

Now if we buy Lavia as well that's a statement for the future. Ok I get it CB light looking but it does seem that it is an area we have some internal potential . That coupled with the fact that we have a non porus midfield might allow this talent we have to emerge.

Yip but in effect it would be the player choosing . I will be fine with that if it comes to pass.

Your last sentence my sentiment. Big man deserves it for all he has done for club.

With the Saudi money about we have the most sought after player in the world for their vanity project if he chooses to leave . Finances not an issue. Need success. Grinning ear to ear here jurgen deserved this backing rather than the make do of last year. I did say I love a good rip it up and start again. Strangely I think this rebuild will have a galvenizing effect on Jones Elliot Ramsey doak carvalvo etc step up lads and join the party .

Why don't Chelsea just pay the 50 ? They can well afford it . Maybe just maybe even that number for a 19 year old relegated player from last season is a tad risky. If he is a generational talent city buy him back simple as that . With our finances he too big a risk . That dud Kieta definitely has shook my faith in the ability of klopps and this forums ability to source new midfield talent.

Just glad for a skint club someone (Klopp ?) had the foresight to offer our best player an acceptable contract before all the Saudi nonsense started. In fact we probably gonna make money out of it next year . For all we do wrong as a club we do a lot right as well . As long as Jurgen is at the helm ( even if his loyalty to players is a concern) I don't really give a toss about FSG. The crunch for the club will be when he leaves . I just have a sneeking feeling he gonna leave a tidy young squad In place for his successor. I also suspect he has already been identified for another role in the club .

Well shoe other foot why would southampton take one penny less than 40 m ? If he is a talent , city are triggering that clause next year whether City end up keeping him or not. Personally not sold on him but if he is the man Klopp wants we are looking at 40 m plus add ons . Pay it or move on . We also have an unexpected 50m in bank from Fab and Hendo use it .

My thoughts exactly. I might be wrong but does klopp have three more footballing seasons with us ? This one coming and two more? If so the team could be ready for his final season .

Nothing to see bar confirming in my head Nunez through the middle not stuck out on left is the way to go in order to play to his strengths .

Met him in Barbados . Actually nice lad. Unfortunately, you guessed it mid season and he recuperating . To be fair his legs looked like he had been pulled through 6 row of barbed wire .

Surely MacIntyre at least a wildcard for Ryder Cup with that shot making in difficult conditions . He didn’t lose it McIlroy won it .

I love a good rip it up and start again . Look we have experience in abundance in the team VVD,Trent,Alison,Robertson and Salah . Throw in a world cup Premier proven midfielder half the team "experienced" . Don't get the panic now ref leadership and experience put simply it did eff all for us last year . I for one am excited . Those saying Hendo and Fab will come back stronger from last year catch a grip they in age related (Klopp style related) decline . Look at how Gini and Sadio have ripped it up after leaving us .

Fair play to Hendo 12 years , great servant coming into a part time season and someone puts a deal like that under your nose . Rip the arm clean off them . Also I think it shows a degree of respect that we not looking 20/30/40 m . Not saying we don't need him bit if one of Fab or Tiago goes that puts it up to the likes of Jones and Elliott that we have had enough of age/potential nows the time to start delivering . No barriers I their way let's see if they are going to make it . Will I take a transition season absolutely .

Folks not looking for any respect to be shown to Edwards but let's remember and focus on the absolute scum who have used a tenuous story to try and bring down the BBC . We liverpool fans know more than most the depths they will go to . So while it is funny chatting about 35k wanks etc I for one don't believe one word or detail that has come out and can be attributed to their story. Need to remember who the real enemy is here . Edwards may well be a knob but this is a non story .

Best captain we had was Souness . He would have had Henderson sorted first 5 mins . End of discussion . Let him go to Saudi and take his leadership talent with him . Make Salah the new captain maybe get him some extra protection from refs. Worth a punt .

Absolutely correct assessment of my thought process. In fact it went CB, Spanish International, not injured why the duck are we not in for him as he is ok and would be a good squad addition . Here if it is an internal youngster or we buy a youngster with potential think I am OK with that . Do we not have a couple of potentials Gordon and the lad that was at Preston ?

Although I agree the fact that we were not even looking at the lad who went to Villa for relatively minor money 35m ? Lead me to believe we think we can cope or at least get away with the youngsters we have .

Lads I come onto this specific thread every morning hoping something has happened overnight . I do not need to be wading through moral dilemmas at 7 am ever morning when in this case the answer is pretty generic. Everyone is taking the Saudi money government's, individuals, companies included . If we were offered double our salaries or hourly rates we would do it as well . Stop all the moralising and get on with posting some unreliable rumours that make my current working life more bearable .

Think you are right they probably have seen what Michael Jordan has got for selling a basketball team , limited investment , zero success but massive pay day . https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.investopedia.com/michael-jordan-net-worth-7552678%23:~:text%3DJordan%20is%20selling%20his%20majority%20stake%20in%20the%20Charlotte%20Hornets,and%20Hanes%2C%20according%20to%20Forbes.&ved=2ahUKEwiuzpTQ7eL_AhU9RUEAHYfuCgAQFnoECB0QBQ&usg=AOvVaw0la8ZwBLgCB8q7ayMsGjUD Now FSG would be wanking themselves silly with that deal . What about the Hornets fans ? Eff them

Genuine question. What am I missing about Elliott ? I seriously not impressed and have seen youngsters like Robbie and Stevie who you knew were world class on first viewing just don't get it with Harvey. Now he high up young star list , Klopp bigs him up . I just don't get it . Please enlighten me . PS I hope to duck I am totally wrong for all the right reasons.

I know it's early on and clubs have not completed business yet but at this stage I think top 4 is beyond us next year . Thank god we have Klopp . We are doing to him what Arsenal did to Wenger .

What I don't get even at the depths discussed is they don't know where it is at . Everything nowadays has transponders , if switched on, surely even at 2.5 miles down they know its location . Now getting it back another thing but is it that basic they don't have the devices on board ???

70 years old and has completed the swim . The whole team has raised 1 million . Has been said above but some achievement and for a brilliant cause.
