      Pure agent/reporter collaboration there.

       "emerged as a front-runner" is the key phrase in the whole thing. This will be part of an effort to get him sold to someone else in the Prem.

      Then await the ā€œ.... beats Liverpool to the signing of Sarrā€ like what happened with Werner, despite us not even going for him.

      Are you not happy with the owners of last year's European and this year's PL champions?

      Would you rather we were owned by Saudi Arabia?

      The next AFCON is in January 2022.  We need cover for Mane and Salah next month - we can worry about the effects of AFCON next summer.

      IMO Sarr is a much better option than anyone we currently have on the roster, and 40 million isnā€™t that bad of a price.  Heā€™s young, has PL experience, is right footed, has insane speed, and can play on either wing.

      Only reason we didnā€™t go in for him is due to Covid. Donā€™t think for a second that Klopp didnā€™t want him.

      I know that, but it wasnā€™t really the point I was making. Regardless of the circumstances, we ended up not going for the player, though they still made out as if he chose the Chavs over us.

      The majority of the ones above all left on a free because we couldnā€™t sell them, despite trying to do so. Nobody would pay to sign Balotelli and Markovic so we ended up letting them go for free before their contracts had even expired, Clyne would have been sold but for the injury, nobody would pay to sign Moreno and nobody offered an acceptable amount for Lallana who was also allowed to leave a year ago. The only players we intentionally let leave for nothing were Can who tried to hold us to ransom and get paid more than he was worth and Sturridge.

      The said players, and thier agents ( god i hate those parasites ) have obviously feathered their own nests. I still have'nt forgiven Macca, Owen and Torres for that. My one bi*ch about them is they were still part of the first team, they went there for the wedge and Lpool got FA

      I can't see going for another African forward as a good idea.  He does well and becomes the next choice after our 3 it means we will lose 3 of our best 4 foorwards to AFCON.     It is a shame that one has to think like this but AFCON have their own agenda and the welfare of their players seems not to be important to them.   

      JĆ¼rgen Klopp himself said early in the year that this factor will play a major factor in recruiting new players.

      Willian signed for Arsenal on a 3 year deal. Thought he would have been a good signing, better option than what we have coming off the bench but I wonder if the wages would have been a stumbling block.

      He has a release clause of around 35-40mill thatā€™s active as of next summer, makes sense to wait a year.

      Great player but by the sounds of things he'll be earning 220k p/w at Arsenal, which is the same as what Van Dijk earns now. Couldn't see us offering much more than half of that figure if we were only going to use him on a rotational basis

      Wow..220 per week for Willian?

      It sometimes amazes me that we are able to keep players having as "low" of a wage structure as we do. Really speaks to what we've built here that players are willing to take less than they might be able to get at other teams to be a part of this.

      The plan has worked perfectly when you look at it, signing players with potential who aren't quite world class yet, tying them down to contracts and then turning them into superstars. I think every club in the world would probably be jealous of how we've managed to do things in the last 5 or so years. I think that footballers definitely strike a balance between wages & success, although it probably tilts more towards success. The likes of Van Dijk, Salah etc could probably easily earn an extra 100k p/w at a Madrid or a PSG, but they won't be playing in the biggest league in the world and probably wouldn't even have a better chance of success, so staying here is pretty much a no-brainer for them. It's not as though the 200k p/w they're on at the moment is any kind of a pittance

      It's easy to call footballers "money-grabbers" or "mercenaries" when they leave. Sterling got it, as did Torres and many more, but I think the main motivation for both of those transfers was that those players wanted to play for (at the time) much better clubs which far greater prospects of success. Both would have gotten a payrise, which was probably a nice bonus to them, but I think the bigger prize would have been competing for titles & European Cups as opposed to playing in the Europa League & aiming for 4th place. Hypothetically, I've no doubt that if those players were playing in this current team with this current manager they wouldn't think twice about leaving

      Good job Arsenal sacked 55 people to save a few thousand per week, not sure theyā€™d have managed to give Willian over Ā£10mill a year otherwise.
