Great Read as always 👍🏻 Do you think we will land a midfielder before the start of the season? Who would be your preference if you could choose?

{Ed001's Note - yes and Saul would be my preference.}

ED001 - do you know if there has been any communication between Athetlico Madrid / Liverpool / club representatives or agents, in regards to a possible move to Liverpool for Saul?

Regards,

Kemlyn.

{Ed001's Note - not that I am aware of no, but I have been lost in doing articles all summer, so I could easily have missed it.}

Ok thanks ED001 - appreciate your a busy man with all the sites

Do you or ED002 know if AM would accept a payment plan for Saul, similar to Jota and Thiago to get him, his €300k a week wages and the remaining 5 years of his contract off the books?

Regards,
Kemlyn.

{Ed001's Note - I would assume they would, if that was all they could get, but they would obviously prefer as much money up front as possible. They are financially hamstrung like we are, so want ready cash.}

Don't think will entertain Athletico after knowing Saul will have many options and he's going to coast big when our financial situation isn't good atm neither necessity when we can have other options who can do the job without stretching out wage structure.

The likes of UTD, City Bayern, Barcelona etc won't mind giving him 300K or more in wages if Athletico is ready to drop their price and in Barca's case if they can shift some of their players.

Very hard hard to compile. I would put Bayern above AM. What about if it was just first 11? I think City and Liverpool change places.

I think ed002 said Atletico would accept a payment plan but would want 75m euros instead of the straight payment of 60m euros for Saul.

Borrow the money on low interest so it’s £53m that would more than do me till Jan then we can re assess.

Great read as usual Ed. Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - cheers mate. Has to be the hardest one to put together and I would do it totally differently if I wrote it again!}

Great read, Ed. Utd are no threat as long as Ole is at the wheel. Chelsea will be good to go but they need a CF and also, it will be interesting to see how Tuchel does when he has a bit of pressure on him when the sticky period during a season arrives. As for City, they will be favourites for all comps and regarding the CL, I agree with you it is Pep who is constantly getting in his own way rather than just coach the game, win it and move on. I’m excited for next season.

{Ed001's Note - cheers OR.}
