I know that we’re definitely going to get de jong but has anyone seen that Samuele Ricci play? he’s a 20 year old that plays for Torino… he’s suppose to be quality but haven’t seen any interest in him. I’ve signed him on fm and he comes world class. Can play DM.. we should be taking gambles on players like this.
Supposed to be quality which insinuates you haven’t seen him
Which then turns your post into let’s buy players that come good in FM!
Finally this transfer forum has sank as low as it can: maybe short of us all eating each other

£400k per week!! If we pay him anywhere near that we need arse fecking! Its too much and the contract will be a albatros around his/our neck for years. Why pay any footballer more than £250k per week - thats still £12.7million per year. Isnt that enough for these feckers............

So that club owners get to siphon more money into their bank accounts rather than pay their workers based on what they bring in? No thanks.

A bit of movement happening today? Can see this getting done tomorrow/Tuesday. Then it comes down to who we sign next and will we get someone else in before pre season.

Wouldn't Frenkie be getting some of that? I've suspected a good % of agent fees go to the player for a while otherwise why would they put up with the likes of Mino walking away from a deal with a massive pay-off.
It depends on what we are talking about. If it's as an intermediary then the player is not involved if it's as a signing bonus then it's generally for the player and then there is an agreement between the player and the agent to share it.

La Liga complaint incoming
Did they actually expect to get him for free ? He hs another year in his contract does he not ? 60m is basically taking the piss, it could end up close to mane but at that age it needs to be lower.

Would be better if Bayern waited til our De Jong deal was complete before turning the screw on Barca.

Bayern getting Lewandowski for free, getting 8 seasons of 40-50 odd goals, then selling him for 60m euros would rival ronaldo for the best business ever done

Unless Antony really pushes for move then cannot see more than two new players going on tour

I think Pogba Juve is probably up there. Free > 90m > Free

Like we took gamble on Pellestri, Amad , Dalot etc ?
Please can we leave this to our scouts ?

Didn’t think we had any scouts :lol: We always go for the expensive well known players because it’s easier. Liverpool always scout players and go for the unknown ones which normally turn out to be a success, they then improve the players and make them world class. We sign world class players or decent players and make them worse… if we had proper scouts then we’d be signing players with the right attitude and hunger to succeed.

I believe Daniel James/Odion Ighalo belonged to this category.

I think he’s desperate to join us but because they want like 60m for him and we only want to pay like 40 then it’s going to be another long negotiation like what’s happening with de Jong only for us to go and sign him for the price they originally wanted. We’re just wasting time for no reason.

If Barca want the £60m and we’re only prepared to offer them £40-45m, then perhaps we could throw in Rashford too? :lol:

Hehe
Isn't this also bad for us though meaning less likely they will budge too? As much as we can "walk away" can you imagine the drama that would cause our end of fans kicking off we can't do shit whilst others get things done and even some of our players (Ronaldo namely)

In addition, Barcelona probably still owe 33 million to the coaches they fired, the cnuts.

Who knows what else is hiding in their books.
