Not really seen much of Sancho, he did look dangerous last night but is he really worth 90m? seems excessive when there's plenty of players around in the same mold.

De Ligt however is an anomaly in his position, for his age and is one that we would well get our money's worth and still sell on in 5 or 6 years time for a profit.

Salah wouldn’t get into man cities team.he isn’t our best attacker or our biggest threat.if a bid of £150m came in it would be madness not to except it.maybe we could by a player with 2 feet who can take a corner.

i think the money dortmund wants for sancho is madness. He had one good season and sure he's british and young but we can easily get same quality for much cheaper.

As I have said in an earlier post, it is absolutely critical for us to bring in top quality attackers to challenge mane and salah in the team. Last year the amount of scrappy goals, set pieces and fortunate injury time goals were insane. Add to that, the games city lost they could have won like 5-2 and they should have beaten us at anfield if not for the penalty miss. All that points to the gap the next season almost certainly being larger unless we add more open play goals into our game.

We absolutely need to step it up if we want to avoid a repeat of 2013/14. That means we keep Salah ( I think there are better players out there but they would cost an absolute bomb) and all our other best players.

I would sell Salah for 200 mil in a heartbeat. Of course if we can bring in someone better we should keep him but selling means buying 3 very good players like Pepe and De Ligt, I wouldn’t think twice.

there's no way we would get £200m for him.£150m is really pushing it.but id be happy with 120+

We definitely need better to beat City to the title, can't see them losing again against the likes of Palace at home after the run they had to win the title, it was I think 14 wins. And we cannot rely on some lucky last minute goals like against Everton and Spurs.

Keep our best players and build around them. We don’t need to sell anyone to strengthen. Madness to even contemplate it right now.


Exactly. City aren't thinking of selling Sterling or De Bruyne. Why should we sell our best players? We've won the biggest trophy in football, and we've had a real shot at the league and champions league in the past 2 years. Will they have a better shot at the CL at Barca? Past 2 years says no.


Exactly. We don’t need to sell to buy anymore. We’re in a financial position to add to the quality we have. We need to get ourselves out of this sell our best players for two good players mentality if we want to win more.

We did it with Coutinho because we needed VVD and Allison. What we need now is good quality back up / replacements that don’t require us to sell our best player.

We don't have to sell our best players. I am pretty sure that our buying policy will push the boat out to get top 2 or 3 targets but that may also mean we sell a prized asset such as Salah to get to that next level.

As far as getting duds is concerned I think we all have enough faith in Klopp to bring in the right players at the right time. Sadly that may mean getting rid of certain players at the height of their value to achieve this. The trick is completed when you can pull off the transfers coming in so successfully. What price would you put on VVD and Alisson now?

Part of the reason we cannot keep up with City is the financial clout (or cheating) to provide 2 quality first teams. What we can do is look at what we HAVE, look to see WHEN they need replacing and then look at HOW we will achieve that.

The reason we are now successful is the age mix of the players and getting the players on long contracts together will help breed more success. So I do see a time when a player like Coutinho is sold to bring 2 more in. But look at how quick the rewards were from that. Two CL finals, one successful and 97 points.

Don't see it as having to sell a player but more putting ourselves into position to go to the next level and stay there.




Agree. I only mentioned the duds as it is a possibility. I trust Klopp’s judgement and he hasn’t got much wrong in the market but however good you’ve been it’s always a gamble and one I think we’d be mad to take with Salah.
