Agreement reached with Roma fee in region of €43 for the transfer of Salah

Leech.

15 Jun 2017 23:26:48
Hope so. Quite excited about him joining. Think he's got a point to prove and will prove it.

15 Jun 2017 23:36:15
Just like last wk and the week b4. nonsense.

16 Jun 2017 03:00:02
All will be revealed soon enough ck.

16 Jun 2017 05:18:25
That sounds a little cheap - did you miss an 'm'? Otherwise can I please have 2 Salah, please? Need a couple of people to work my garden :D.

16 Jun 2017 06:27:30
Salah must be aggrieved now havin been "agreed" a dozen more times after being first "agreed and done and dusted" in May yet still actually havin no deal in place.

16 Jun 2017 07:08:19
Hope you're right Leech, but I'll wait till I actually see him in a red shirt, before I believe it sorry, as I am sure we'll screw it up. I can see it now.

Roma: Glad we finally agreed on a deal, pass me the paperwork and ill sign it off.
Liverpool negotiator passes paperwork. Roma director pen hovering.
Roma: Wait this isn't the deal we agreed upon.
Liverpool: No we felt this was a more suitable deal for both parties.
Roma: But our deal was 43 million euros. This is for 10 million euros, a 20 euro Amazon voucher, 10 mars bars and a packet of wotsits.

Me cynical never!

16 Jun 2017 07:11:55
Why are people moaning over Liverpool trying to get the best deal? The same fans who then complain we pay too much.

16 Jun 2017 07:22:24
The best deal would be getting the players in Klopp wants. Yes let's not get held to ransom but we are talking about a few million pounds. And that is after we seem to undervalue every player we bid for so no wonder there's a difference. I bet the owners never barter when it comes to setting ticket prices or sponsorship money.

16 Jun 2017 08:33:59
Just bare in mind that its still June, no international signings can be completed prior to July.

16 Jun 2017 08:55:58
Agreed at 33 million, agreed at 38 now at 43. Whens this going to stop.

Agrred at 48mil, 53,58,63,68,73?

16 Jun 2017 09:07:55
He is not worth anywhere near to £30 mill let alone £40mill. Roma can ask whatever they wants. No club would even touch Salah for that money!

16 Jun 2017 10:04:37
Transfer fees are meaningless.

No player is worth 10 times the lifetime salary of the brave firefighters who ran into the burning Grenfell tower to try and save lives.

Forget transfer fees.

16 Jun 2017 10:19:51
Yannick Bolasie was £29 million. Ill just leave that here.

16 Jun 2017 10:22:12
Salah cost 15 mill I think, why should we pay 3 times that after 1 good season. our offer if the stories are correct seems more than fair 28 million. i do not see other clubs coming in and offering more. but the fact is they have set a price so we either try and meet somewhere in the middle or move on to other targets.

16 Jun 2017 11:25:37
Thats a load of nonsence. Sure by your logic Mbappe cost Monaco nothing so why should people pay more than 5mil for him. You pay for how good a player is, their form, age and potential. Its not a car that was bought last year and they are looking to make an extortionate amount of money on it a year later. They want the value of tge player and if a 28 year old Brozovic is valued at 44 mil then a 24 year old Salah who had a far better season is definitely worth the amount been asked.

16 Jun 2017 12:19:02
You pay the fee because lfc want him and Roma don't want too Dr. If you want a player that is key to another team you have to make a offer they can't refuse. If off aren't willing to pay it then we should move on.

16 Jun 2017 12:53:59
Diane Abbott doing the negotiations now for Salah now
€566866787.09
No sorry £2.

16 Jun 2017 23:32:13
You are so wrong my friend! I'll leave you with a few players and their prices, don't quote me on them though.
Stones 50m
Bolasie 30m
Mustafi 34m
Sterling 49m
The list can go on, 40m for a established player playing in a tough league with 25 goals 19 assists in 52 apps is a pretty good deal.

15 Jun 2017 13:51:53
Hi Ed's

I have just read that we have put an offer in of £25m for Zielinski, is this true?

Also, is there any further news on the exodus front as I am keen to find out about the Sakho status?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any bid.}

15 Jun 2017 17:35:59
recycled news id say.

15 Jun 2017 10:57:36
linked with soares of porto, left back. anything in it?

15 Jun 2017 10:06:49
Is it true that Newcastle are interested in Lucas? If so I wish him luck I think it's a great move for him.

15 Jun 2017 05:07:50
Good morning all, Eds just heard from a friend who I fully trust that naby Keita is still very much a top target and negotiations will start shortly as emre can is now expected to leave. Do any of the Eds know if there is any validity to this rumour?

{Ed001's Note - the first bit is correct but not sure on the second. Last I heard Can wanted to stay, but that was before the season ended, so a lot could have changed, I guess.}

15 Jun 2017 05:17:14
Thanks for the reply and info Ed, hope the latter isn't true but at the same time if emre can doesn't want to be at the club then I'd rather he went.

15 Jun 2017 05:56:14
I'm pretty sure Can would want to stay but probably also wants to be starting rather than backup which could be the only reason I see him considering a move

I hope he stays though as I think in time he'll be a monster in the deeper midfield role.

15 Jun 2017 06:16:14
Keita will not be a replacement for Can. If Can goes, expect someone like Paredes or Carvalho to be targeted. Targets like Keita and Zielinski will add options to our midfield, not to replace someone.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool cannot keep adding players without replacing players.}

15 Jun 2017 08:00:51
Agreed ed but to be fair Lucas and Stewart will be gone as well as a few youngsters.

{Ed002's Note - The youngsters don't count.}

15 Jun 2017 09:09:23
If Keita comes, we will have a surfeit of central midfielders.

The EPL is just a little too quick for Can. But he may do very well in Serie A. Good luck to him if he goes.

15 Jun 2017 09:36:24
Do not agree that the EPL is to quick for Can. I think he could be a big player for LFC for a long time. He is one of the few players we have who can really handle the physical side of the game.

15 Jun 2017 10:16:26
We better keep Can. He already more than holds his own and will only keep improving. If he were English he'd be the next big thing and rated at about 50 million. But yet he's German and therefore is probably more likely to keep a steady rate of improvement. Beast.

15 Jun 2017 11:28:16
Can could be a really brilliant player for us. There are a few weaknesses to his game but all of which are teachable. He is built solid and can deal with the rough and tumble of the EPL.

15 Jun 2017 12:37:20
Who cares how "big" he is? How big is Kante? He gets closed down easily, takes too long to release the ball, and doesn't have a lot of awareness of what is going on around him. He seems a nice lad. But we need better.

15 Jun 2017 17:40:49
If all the additions are replacements then the depth of squad clearly does not improve. For me this is the thing missed in most of the conversations here and amongst our fans. I believe (and it is a personal view) that our best TEAM was as good as any of the top 6s best TEAMS, and better than most, but our SQUAD was/ is the worst of the top 6! So, Ed02 it may be true that financially that we can't keep adding without replacing but you can bet your bottom dollar that to compete for anything more than where we finished this year it is what we have to do. So if you are right then Houston we have a problem"

{Ed002's Note - You are making stuff up. I didn't say anything of the sort about money. You don't seem to get that the size of the squad is limited. It is absolutely hopeless explaining things over and over.}

15 Jun 2017 17:53:03
Oh no I understand the squad number limitations possibly more than many but we named and played more young players that are not ready for the first team than any other top 6 team. Those guys don't need replacing. I was not making things up I was assuming, maybe incorrectly, but the case stands our depth need some to improve!

15 Jun 2017 17:58:28
You reallly don't like anyone questioning your comments or judgements on these pages do you? It was not a criticism or a reason for argument it was just an opinion (which I referred to as my personal view) . I apologise if I assumed you meant it was financial and it wasn't but depth of squad is definitively an issue at Liverpool. Klopp got rid of a lot of deadwood last season, I assumed to therefore be able to add?!

15 Jun 2017 19:14:52
Can has great hair, he should stay for that reason alone.

15 Jun 2017 19:25:50
To be fair strength in depth dusnt nessaserily mean the amount of players we have it's more what quality we have in the amount of players we have so if we can replace a player for a better option then replacements make all the sense in the world.

16 Jun 2017 03:12:37
I rate can and don't wanna see him go. I think he has a great future, and he's pedigree speaks for itself, representing Germany at every level from U15's to full international.
