Money is a major issue for them, they do not want a full season worth of wages, when they only need injury cover for a small portion of the year. If Chelsea is going to loan him, they want him gone for the full season.

You think Chelsea are so stupid, that they would torpedo the deal for a game against Wimbledon? Come on...
This is one of those where you both are right. United probably could have been convinced to keep Cucurella for the whole season if he wasn’t cup tied. As soon as he was it made no sense to go for him since they still won’t have a LB for those games.

Yeah but still, your point isn’t wrong. Burnley isn’t trying to win trophies and they aren’t making a loan offer. They played was great for them last year and it’s a very much a long term move for them. But it also seems the player may have turned them down. Got to be lousy when a player you previously loaned says no when you want them back
Yeah, ultimately it’s more a reflection on Chelsea the club.

Law is reporting it was Maatsen that nixed the move. Both the academy boys we heard all about how much game time they earned/were going to get, would have been moved if they got their way.

Keep saying no they have infinite money. Let’s see how high they go

Same Chelsea as always

Something, something, Saudis bailing out cheap Liverpool.
I mean Salah would be the best player besides maybe Benzema entering the league and LFC have even less reason to sell than Madrid did. Let’s see how high they can go.

At what point do you say yes? If they offered 200 million for Bruno Fernandez, I'd have to think about it for a while, were it up to me. Especially on deadline day.
I mean, if they want the player that badly I just keep saying no and see how high they go let’s see where they are five minutes before the deadline. I’m not anti-selling

If i’m Liverpool i take those money and settle for another ”transition-year”, then go big next season. But their supporters might not buy into that.

Ludicrous talk. Selling Salah for 200M isn’t coutinho like. As 200M doesn’t get you very far these days. Makes little sense given the context. But your funeral Liverpool.
Yeah it’s weird. I mean where do you even go? Raphinha? Adeyemi? Olise?

Do you go a different style player like Wirtz, Olmo.

Do you shoot the moon for Kvara?

I mean Tottenham just paid what 50m for Brennan Johnson and he is Mid at best. Where is the value?

200M could get you Kvaradona and a legit DM and CB that the team needs. Only issues are that you're waiting til next summer and can Liverpool attract that level of player with no CL?

—Both Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo to Barca on loan should be finalized now. Not sure the terms and I’m a bit worried about them, but we’ll see if the club was able to actually negotiate anything.
—Abde was apparently sold to Betis. 10 million plus 50% of any future sale. IMO we should have got more, but I’m definitely one for selling him.
—Eric Garcia is headed to Girona. The player has apparently been very insistent despite Xavi trying to convince him to stay. I think it’s just a loan move as have been rumored.
—There was apparently a late 40 million bid from the Saudis for Lewandowski.

I don’t think it does though. Not in this market. You might get two of those things if you are lucky

This has been a really weird recruiting summer though. LFC improved the midfield on paper but I hate the mix and I don’t really understand the strategy. The lack of leadership at the top is hurting.

Take that 200M, plus whatever left from Caicedo, and that's more than enought to finish off a new core of players.

Depends who you're buying the DM/CB from... by "legit" I didn't necessarily mean a finished product in their prime. Plenty of CB options out there, though DM may be harder.

CBs - Lukeba went for 30M, Pau Torres for 33M, Timber for 40M, etc.

I’d get kvara tbh but that’s gonna cost you close to 200. And he’s not leaving until the summer.

There’s no way they get all those under 200 and more importantly it’s impossible this window.

Name them? Any half decent player now is 50+ mill

No Palhinha to Bayern means no Gravenberch to Liverpool.

Also RKM to PSG is off, so I guess Ekitike won’t be on the move.
