Suarez ...
Coutinho..
...Alonso
.McMoneyman...
Owen...
Yeah just relax... i mean if we win nothing at the end of the season its not like our best players ever leave us for clubs that guarantee trophies.
£300 million plus the standard Ramos’ head on a stick.
Signed a new contract.. so £150 mill + Bale
300M you say ?....sound just about right if they want to sign that cunt from Brazil that plays for PSG....
Let's face it. If Real Madrid come calling Mane will be gone.
If we win the title this season, he can go.
This isn't a reflection on Mane, I love him, but if we win the title I don't give a fuck who stays or goes after that*
*may be exaggerating to make a point

I’ll be pissed for a year should we win the title! I won’t remember who does or doesn’t play for us.
Could you be arsed with all the is he / isn't he fit disappointment with Bale?
He's about as far removed from a Klopp/ FSG signing as you could possibly imagine.
An injury-prone 30 year old on £500,000 a week. Like, as if.
On his current wages, where can Bale realistically go? His choices are very limited. Seems like he's destined to stay on the bench at Real or retire in some obscure location.
Spain? Barca would never sign him. No one else could afford him.
Italy? Juve already have Ronaldo and Dybala. I don't think he go on that well with Ronaldo anyway. No one else can afford him.
Germany? Bayern only ones who can afford him. Robben/Ribery replacement? But they seem to want to invest in youth in Koman/Gnabry/CHO.
France? PSG is a possibility if they want to just splash the cash for the sake of it. But with their current front 3, not sure he's needed.
England? Replacement for Hazard perhaps but they've already signed Pullisic and they have a transfer ban pending? Not a Klopp or Pep-type player, neither do I think United would be in for him, considering how badly Sanchez has worked out and the money they're paying him. Spurs have no money.
China/USA/Dubai? Basically retirement from the top level.

Yeah, ignoring his status and wealth, from a footballing perspective it does look pretty bleak, unless he does agree to drop his wage demands in order to get a move.
One possibility is that a Real target moves there and frees up a space in the team and wage bill for Bale to take up, maybe even in some kind of swap deal, but other than that his options are very limited.
Mane can go for 125 million, or 75 million + Asensio.
Think we’ll see a money + Bale bid for Eriksen.
For once I disagree, old pal. Mane's past history both at Salzburg and at Southampton suggests to me that he might be the most likely to have his head turned by a fat offer from another club. Besides, though currently on form he's a streaky player overall and, while neither of the others has exactly been a model of consistency this season, their ongoing usefulness through lean spells tends to be greater than his IMO.
Ideally though we'll keep all three and push on to glory with them.

Fair, but I have thought all season long that we often hurt ourselves by forcing soooooo much to / through Salah, even though he's been woefully out of form for much of the year. There are often players in far better positions, but Mo is almost always who we look for first...
Now, I'm not saying "get rid" by any means. I'm just saying that, if a) it's ridiculous money and b) we get to keep the other two and replace him with the money we get for him, that, though he's a super player and we'd miss his goals, in much the way we often saw the other players pick up their games when Stevie G wasn't there to carry them, his permanent absense may not be the hammer-blow so many would anticipate. Remember when we sold Rushy and went and bough Digger, Aldo and Beardo?
Anyways, as you say, ideally, we win this year's title AND keep them all AND add to the squad as well. YNWA.

Before we predict who is going to leave, there is that very strong possibility that our players may actually like playing for Klopp, and like Liverpool more than any sizeable jump in income. Also having watched Coutinho struggle they may have 2nd thoughts about moving to Spain to any of the big two given the treatment that Coutinho is getting, I mean however bad our players play I don't think there are many instances where the entire crowd will jeer at any of our own during a game. I could be fooling myself completely, but I agree with the general consensus that Mane is more likely to move on and accept Real than any of our other two front men.
Sorry - just adding, that I like some of the others, feel that I would not give a ounce of shit if all three were sold at the end of the season should we win the title, in fact I don't mind us selling the entire first team except for this lot:
VVD, TAA, Robbo, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Fabinio, Milner (if he wants to stay), Alisson

Behave. Hes worth more than Coutinho.
I wouldnt sell him at all. But if I was forced to hes £200m
Hes 26 years old and is scoring more goals every season. Hes a devastating weapon.
Id sooner let Salah go.
Agree with almost all that.
I don't get that people would let Salah go first though, Salah isn't finishing at the moment but he's involved in almost everything good that we do, & a huge part of the reason Mane is scoring is cos defenders are concentrating so much on Salah.
They're both boss, & neither of them are going anywhere, they're ours.
Maybe 125 was too little, let's go with 300 or no sale.
Want to keep him - good guy to have on the team.
I've yet to be convinced by Asensio.
