Get paid black man

Beginning of the end. Liverpool not selling high on Salah/Mane is gonna bite them long term unless they’re gonna be able to find replacements that are < £60m each.

When could they of sold them? Covid phucked things up in 2020. 2021 Barca broke boys. Real saving for Mbrappe. PSG got Messi. Bayern will only spend big money on younger players and what Liverpool would of asked for in 20, 21 would of been 9 figures.

Hope Huddersfield win this playoff final.

The coverage has been like there's only one team playing, at least pretend to be little balanced, shytbags.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Seemed obvious one of Salah or Mane would leave. Signing Diaz and Carvalho just seemed to be primed for that.

Ultimately Liverpool will be fine. Klopp is the most important part of the team so they will remain competitive.

They wouldn’t have been able to get the £100m+ each for them like it was reported but I honestly think they would have been able to get £20m+ more than they’ll be able to get now. Reports are saying Bayern are going to offer £30m for Mane and unless their recruitment is on point, I can’t see how they’ll be able to replace his output for a similar amount.

6 of L’pool’s starting 11 are 28+ and considering the intensity of Klopp’s tactics and the fact that they’ve been playing 50+ games a season for the last 3 seasons, they need to refresh the squad. FSG aren’t gonna give a war chest so I think they needed to start selling and replacing players from about 2 seasons ago.

Milner and Ox paid more than Mane?

 

[TobiOT]

What a waste of time.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Ralf not staying on in this consultant role just adds to the mess the club are. They undermined him throughout the time he was there. And with ETH's comments you could tell he wasn't interested in working with him.

 

[Gilver]

The whole appointment was about his consultancy role, now he's going, makes it absolutely pointless.

I really hope Murtough and Fletcher etc haven't just decided they think it's still 2001 and Erik is going to be some sort of Fegie-like overlord.

Absolute shambles, frankly.
