Transfer Rumours 21/22

[binomial]

I’ve kinda gone off him based on his recent form.

I’m very fickle.

Purposely lowering his value so we can afford him?

Buying Raphina puts us in the stock piling category doesn't it? Unless we get rid of one of our forwards.

You mean other than Salah, who’s leaving for sure.

 

[Hansern]

Thats some serious wages…

Thats some serious wages…

€100m a year after tax or €200m before, how does that even go through FFP? 33% of their T/O (on the supposition their T/O is €600m) goes on one player

 

[StevieM]

I guess you can afford to do this when you aren’t patiently waiting for Barcelona to pay you the full transfer fee they owe.

 

[bluebell]

That would be stupid. PSG are stupid enough to pay him €300k per week for 4 years.

FIFA and UEFA to discuss having an adhoc loan window, allowing players in the Russian and Ukrainian leagues a chance to move clubs.

Not sure how that would work practically in Russia.

Ukraine its a loan proposal until the league restarts.

Diaz and Jota prefer to play on the left side. We need a right sided player. Harvey can play there, but Raphinha would be a near perfect replacement, I think.

Good call.

 

[StevieM]

If we sell Salah - we need to buy either Saka or Bowen AND Raphina as replacements.

None of whom can score 20+ goals, and 10+ assists which Salah has given

Neither did Salah before he came to Liverpool.

Neither did Salah before he came to Liverpool.

He actually wasn’t far off, last season before he joined us on 19 goals and 12 assists. He was widely known as the setup guy for Dzeko. He was always on an upward trajectory.

I appreciate that. But similarly I anticipate that Saka is also on an upwards trajectory though the heights he reaches is anyone's guess

 

[StevieM]

No, but if you discount the penalties, then you’re looking for each player to contribute 10+ goals and 5+ assists from the right, so you’re spreading risk and relying on Klopp to rotate effectively - rather than have Salah as a constant.

It’s not perfect, but that’s within the scope of these two players ability and that’s without the possibility of them pushing on in the way Jota has.

I'm starting to think this guy is a serious player.
