It’s being reported that Liverpool could receive a 215m bid for Salah.
As much as it would set them back, I just fail to see how they could refuse that.

Yeah I guess so, but as you say it would set them back
With the transfer window closed I can see zero benefit to them of selling, even if they’d made such an absurd offer in July replacing like for like in terms of his influence on and contribution to the team would have been difficult. But at this moment in time? There’s no benefit to them whatsoever given that they seem efficiently well run so as not to have run up unsustainable debt.Originally Posted by Mac76
Yes I’ve said earlier he’s not getting any younger, but they could honest challenge for the title this season (although I don’t think their defence is good enough) but selling him would blow that prospect right out of the water
Nicolas Pepe is close to joining Al-Shabaab which I’m assuming is a Saudi football club rather than the extremist militant Sunni Islamist group that operates on the African continent
Only we could sell a player to Saudi and get sod all for him.
I feel that we seem to be more focused on the wage bill than transfer fees. With Pepe we have someone on high wages who we don’t want anymore. Therefore we can’t really set the terms of what is offered because the buying club have more leverage. Now you can argue that actually this is because we go about things the wrong way, Chelsea started selling before buying but I certainly don’t envisage copying their transfer model (nor would I want to)
When Arteta makes it clear he no longer values a player, it depresses that players sell on value
Watched the highlights of Real Sociedad’s game with Granada the other day, mainly out of interest to see how Tierney was getting on (didn’t really make that great an impact, positively or negatively but I say that with the caveat that you can’t always get a good read unless you watch the whole game). But what I did see was a player that I’d like to see us take a look at… Takefusa (Take) Kubo. Player that’s just an utter nuisance like Mitoma but operates on the right hand side.
Not saying we should get him, not on the basis of one game. But definitely worth keeping an eye out for.
agreed, whatever the circumstances around it, everyone else is fleecing them and we get mugged as usual
I feel sorry for Pepe, we completely messed up his career
Did we? I mean yes he’s no worse than Jadon Sancho or Antony but the only thing we did to ruin his career was to buy him in the first place.
Pepe has finally gone. Signs for Trabzonspor in Turkey for 3m.
