Transfer Rumours 21/22

Appaz we were interested in this kid, Aguibou Camara. Had 5 goals and 5 assists in the Greek League. Supposedly is available for under £10m. I don't know anything about him other than these video clips. Looks like he can run, dribble, pass and tackle. He has pace, which is what we lack through the middle and looks like he can play out wide. He is however, very short at 5'6.
I get Kante vibes

Unlike Sangara he looks his age
 
A weekly wage of around £200,000 per week and a fee around £70 million would be a big ask if we needed a central defender but seeing as we already have four, why would we want to make this deal happen?
This seems more like a ploy from the player, as he clearly wants to reunite with Virgil van Dijk and play alongside him full-time.
The unfortunate message for Matthijs de Ligt is though, you’ll have to join the back of the queue for that and lower your wages and price tag whilst you’re at it.

Doesn't delight me.
 
My concern with midfield is that most people would agree we need a CM this summer. The club looks like they won't he rushed and if the right player is not available then we are prepared to wait til next summer. That all seems sensible except next summer we will probably need 3 midfielders as Milner,Ox and Keita will be out of contract while Thiago will be 32 and Hendo 33. Yes the likes of Elliott Jones and Carvalho will be a year older but Fabinho is realistically the only current midfielder I'd bet on being a first team player in 12 months.

Agree, if they don't but in the summer window, they end up buying in the Jan window.
 
Nottingham Forest have opened talks to sign the Union Berlin striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who has a release clause in the region of €20m (£17.2m).

The Nigeria international started his professional career with Liverpool but never played a first-team game for the club. The Premier League runners-up will, however, earn 10% of any fee paid for the 24-year-old.
 
At an inflated rate.
Did we overpay for Dias? But generally you are right Jan people overpay.
I am hoping after players leaving Klopp will spend £20m or under and get a CM/DM.
So far we've spent excluding add-ons, and agent fees, £75m (£65m on Nunez, £5m on FC, and £5m on Calvin)
Departures you are looking at £35m for Mane
£15m for Neco
£17m for mini
£10m for Ox
£5m for Ben Davies
That's £82m (assuming those figures don't include add ons)
I would expect one of Gomez or Nats to go. Gomez for £40m and Nat for £15m. So your either looking at 122m or £97m
I have a feeling PSG will offer us £60m plus for Salah, I would take it, not sure how the club feels.
Thiago and Fabs can't play every game, and the current personnel don't make up for what we miss when those two are not there.

You can’t compare purchases without add ons to sales with add ons - that’s a false position.

We’ve spent around £75m and brought in £28m not including add ons.

Or

We’ve spent £90m and brought in £35m.

Remains to be seen what we’ll get for other sales.

We’re also conveniently forgetting the Diaz fee.

Thats’s why I think Joyce is right - we aren’t buying anyone else of significant value in this window.

Next summer will be a Midfielder & Salah replacement unless he re-signs.

I've been quite vocal in that it's a mistake not to bring someone else in.. even someone like Eriksen on a free would provide something different.

Maybe the club will surprise us and bring one more in late in the window.

We are alot weaker when Fabs isn't playing, no one really can do what he does even adequately for us not miss him massively.
There is plenty of players under the £20m mark who can play DM/CM.

I agree that we won't sign anyone else.

But I think it's clear we should get in at least another £40m in sales and probably a bit more.

And am I just to assume from now on that ALL the fantastic amount of cash we bring in from exceptional CL performance - it must be £50m above any kind of reasonable budgeted income - just goes straight out in staff bonuses? If so, is it really wise to be paying people so much for something they'd do for free?

Shouldn't there be SOME kind of dividend for all that success?

I don't know. We're doing great on the pitch so it's churlish to moan too much. But it does irritate me that we're somehow always apparently scrimping and saving. Oh heaven forbid that the owners might ever expect to lay out a bit of cash in order to return the gigantic capital gain they're no doubt accruing.

I do, because you're never told what the triggers are. I am hoping the figures I've quoted are baseline figures.
 


I know one or two Gooners and they don't all think he's Prem top four quality. Even if he is, they need at least one other striker and possibly more. There's quite a bit of talk about Gabriel Jesus but, good player though he is, I'm not sure he'll deliver the number of goals I'd have thought they'd be looking for.
 
Liverpool could be set for a big further profit on former striker Taiwo Awoniyi, a year after selling him to Union Berlin, as Premier League clubs circle.
Awoniyi joined the Reds from the Imperial Soccer Academy in Nigeria in 2015, but never made an appearance for the club at any level.

Due to work permit issues, along with a badly timed injury, the striker was unable to even feature in any friendlies, instead spending six years on loan at various clubs.
His seventh and final loan came at Union Berlin, who were sufficiently impressed to agree a £6.5 million transfer the following summer.
The 24-year-old produced an outstanding season in Berlin, netting 20 goals in 43 games including 15 in the Bundesliga, with only five players scoring more in the German top flight.
That has attracted interest from a host of clubs, with the Guardian‘s Will Unwin among those to report that newly promoted Nottingham Forest are in talks over a deal.

There are sides elsewhere in Europe who are also interested in the Nigeria international, while Unwin adds that Forest are not the only club in England weighing up a move.
Awoniyi has a release clause in his contract with Union worth around £17 million, with Liverpool holding a 10 percent sell-on clause for any future deal.
The Reds already made a £6.1 million profit when they sold Awoniyi last summer, but if he were to move to another club a year on they would also be due another seven-figure payday.
Unwin claims that the sell-on clause obliges Liverpool to 10 percent of any transfer fee, which would mean £1.7 million if Forest, for example, were to trigger his exit.

But it is often the case that clubs instead agree a percentage of any future profit for the buying club, which would instead see £1.05 million paid to the Reds.
Awoniyi is not the only ex-player Liverpool could profit from this summer, either, with Ki-Jana Hoever courting interest from PSV Eindhoven.
Wolves would be required to fulfil a 15 percent sell-on clause if they were to sell Hoever to the Eredivisie side.
