40 million for Fabs after last season certainly looks like good business, but you're right, that's a lot of experience gone in one season if we're losing Hendo, Milner and Fabs in one summer.
You never know. Sometimes midfielder can just click.
More like we’ll sell Fabs & Hendo, not bring anyone else in and start the season with Thiago, Curtis & Badgertits injured and relying on Morton to hold the midfield together while Mac & Slobberchops figure out what we’re doing.
Then in January, we’ll bring in a left winger.
Is that the real Ornstein?
2.3m followers, so yup
If these reports are true, it's stick or twist time. I'm inclined to twist.
We've all bemoaned how we've hung on to declining stars for too long, and this is ultimately going to be a season (or two) of transition. Fabinho and Henderson were both woeful last season, and while they may not be as bad this season, they're basically in decline, and neither has the legs for a Klopp midfield any more. So let's say goodbye to the last golden era and usher in a new one.

Twitter makes me laugh. They all think it's Gerrards club and we need 'investigating'.
They’ve probably started tracking some planes as well.
Does Klopp want Moises?
If those two go what happens to Thiago? He is being courted by Turkish Clubs... I can see another Saudi club coming in for him too
Ooh, interesting!
Yeah, as I said in the Henderson thread, we'd be stupid to not even consider this.
I don't think we're winning any trophies this season anyways, it's going to be a transitionary season where the target is CL qualification and figuring shit out.
50m doesn’t seem a great deal for both despite their age and doesn’t leave us a huge amount to replace them with.
We have already lost 3 CMs, and still not really address a backup CB and RB yet. Pre season has already started. I’m sure we would save a bit on wages too but needs to be at 75m for both at this stage of the season to be interested personally.

Its’s not silly money though - It’s £40m for Fabs - that’s not even half a portion of Rice in today’s market.
That’s less than 19 yo Lavia, less than Mount after a shit season and with 1 year left on his contract and about what Southampton are looking for Ward-Prowse.
Silly money would be £70-80m - in which case I’d gnaw their arm off and start nibbling on their ribs.
You're comparing him with English players and a home grown young player.
I don't think anyone from the big leagues would offer us £40 mill for soon to be 30 year old Fabs.
Our key targets, Colwill & Lavia will cost upwards of £100m, although we don’t need a young RB.
Also - we’ll be doing well to get upwards of £60m for them 3.
That’s the point - no-one’s offering us silly money - and £40m isn’t something a shit EPL team couldn’t afford - Everton paid more that that for Gyfly Sigurdsson 5 years ago.
At £40m Fabs is a bargain - because of one shit season where you could probably pin point a pile of other issues that created conditions that meant he was likely to fail.
It’s well documented - it’s not on Fabs that our forward press fell apart - fixing the forward press is more important than getting relative chicken feed for Fabs - because whoever you put in there to replace him is likely to fail if the other issues aren’t addressed.
