Seeing how quickly we moved for fabinho Allison and having Keita already tied up.

Transfers must be difficult enough to arrange, complicating it by having another player as part of deal would make it even more difficult to arrange.
If we want Fernandes, we will bid for him, as others have said, we move pretty quick these days, so with all the press around him, we would have done the deal if we really wanted him, but these deals are negotiations, so maybe we are waiting for the price to come down, like we did with Alisson, wait until Sporting are desperate to sell, sounds like they are trying to start a bidding war with Utd.

Or Klopp doesn't want to buy anybody above 20m as also rumoured.

Sporting and his Agent have been manipulating the press by bandying stories of various clubs being interested in Fernandes. I’m fairly certain there’s a current standoff in price for Fernandes, he may have been interested in Spurs but they’ve just bought Ndombele and there’s a will he won’t he leave scenario with Eriksen. I believe Fernandes has no interest to join Utd because they’re not in CL however he is interested in joining us. Liverpool made a huge mistake selling Camacho to Sporting “if” they are interested in Fernandes because he was leverage.
Just yet another case of a club and Agent overpricing a player here and playing hardball, their position will change closer to the transfer window closing! Camacho didn't want to sign a new contract and had only 1 year left + he wanted to go to Sporting particularly, so very little else the club could have done. So by that reckoning we must not be in for Fernandes then because it would be madness not trying to leverage Camacho. Schalke were also very interested in Camacho, so it's not as if there were no other options available to sell with over a month to go until the window closes. I think Camacho was trying to be Bertie Bigbollox and trying to dictate where he was getting played. Saying he was not a full back and that he was an attacking player has not endeared himself to Klopp or anyone else. A message has been sent out here just in case anyone hadn't quite learned from the Coutinho saga. If you are going to bite the hand that feeds you and are going to be disrespectful there is no place for you at Anfield. I think we have put in a 20% sell on clause. The lad isn't going to get paid as much at Sporting as he may well have done at Liverpool. No point keeping him as him staying with an attitude on him would only hinder the chances of a young player coming through the system. He could end up being a £50m player but I doubt if any of our rivals would be totally happy buying him knowing they would be strengthening our cause by £10m.

Camacho was never going to play so he was sold for a profit. I don't see the problem here. I think delaying his move wasn't necessary in acquiring Fernandes. I still don't see where he fits in with our stacked midfield.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I still don't see where he fits in with our stacked midfield. I've seen a few clips of Fernandes and he looks like he can get in positions to take the ball and turn and run, or hold it up and lay it off, so he could be a good option to replace Firmino, he looks good on the turn and holding onto the ball, abit llke Silva, but those were the highlights clips!
