in a way yes, but there is FFP that supposedly keeps things under. Once teams know now that Pool will have that injection they know specifically that they have more available funds to pay with
Mo Salah | Choccy: He gone | Choccy gone, Choccy wrong | beIN sports: Agrees to Al Ittihad's offer

He will go next summer maybe, not this one the transfer window is closed, no one sells a big player like that without replacements lined up.
The transfer window is closed any sane manager turns that offer down.
As opposed to 1 Covid-asterixed PL in the last 30 years?
I don't think his style of management (and style of play) is really suited to international football to be honest. Not enough time to work with the players and too much of a pragmatic approach.Yes please, Klopp is the only one who can save us germans from Hansi Flick and an embarassing EC at home next year.
#SellSalah
#FreeKlopp
Long-term it would still be a brilliant move. I don't see the difference between accepting it now or two weeks ago, realistically we wouldn't have been able to bring in a like-for-like replacement for a reasonable fee anyway.
Generally speaking what happened most recently is a better indicator than something that happened 3 years ago.
Yes that’s why it got rejected two weeks ago, there’s nobody on the Liverpool side who can play on the right wing to Salah or even Diaz and Jotas standard, in fact there aren’t that many world class wide forwards who play on the right, full stop.
Klopp is not going to destabilise the side when the season has already started just for the money to look good in the accounts, no manager with aspirations of winning major trophies would do such a thing, if the offer came in June it’s a different story.
I think if you’re going on recent patterns he likelihood is Liverpool challenge for the league again.
It’s not a mathematical equation. It’s not the same squad they had two years ago. If people want to make the point Liverpool will be better it should be based on them possibly improving their midfield. Not that they have had a recent pattern of alternating good seasons.
For a like to like Salah replacement with the same output in mid 20s probably will cost over 150m may be even 200m in today's market. See Mbappe.
You sure? I'd think 170m could get virtually any player...? Am I wrong?
Marktan! Buddy!
Seriously, you'd turn it down? Liverpool without Salah is United level currently, no?
That's not how we operate and nor will we in the future, I'm afraid. We don't buy global superstars like Mbappe, they are unattainable for us, even Bellingham was when Madrid came calling. Think it's much more likely we sign 2 or 3 promising wingers for £40-70m each in their early 20s and hope at least one, perhaps two develop into a player close to what Salah has done for us - it's not realistic to expect any signing to equal or better his performances imo, even Torres and Suarez in recent history don't really come close to his output.
Yeah it's insane money.
Yep, when there was talk of a £30m fee or something we all thought was utterly fanciful.
Although everyone laughing at him saying Saudi will quickly emerge as a top 6 league and that no-one of any note would go there must be feeling an utter twat now.
I can't read your comment, what does it say? Try bigger text.
Salah is nearly impossible to replace, you can count on 1 hand the people that might be able to do it, and they most likely won't be for sale, and Liverpool don't buy those players anyway. They will have to gamble on some people, and it may not work.
Yep.Yeah, absolutely sucks
Like everything that could possibly go wrong, has gone wrong - even trying to raise some funds through sales to Saudi.
Other clubs can buy a Havertz and watch him utterly flop, then ship him for a good fee.
Whilst we'll inevitable see Sancho, Anthony, Maguire all fade to close to zero.
Using different font on here is pretty much one of the absolute no-no's.
Disgrace!
Seconded
It looks normal on my screen. Let me double check. I don't remember i changed font.
I’d be careful what you wish for. That money could be used to chase Saka.
It’s massive
Player comes and goes. If the player wants to leave there is not much you can do. Newcastle, PSG, Man City and Chelsea all have money anyway.
I just deleted it. It looks the same size as other post in my screen.It’s massive
Would be funny if it wasn’t so sad (& true!). We had the worlds highest paid goalkeeper on our books…he’s a free agent and still haven’t found a club. Literally sums up how we’ve been run.
A “mid season break “ pl champions.
Empty stadium Champions
I'm sure ye will eventually win a real one, that isn't tainted by covid, with an asteriks forever next to it. Such a shame that was behind closed doors with no fans to celebrate !
Petition to reinstate choccy if he does eventually leave! I believe he was a year late and very clearly talking out his arse but still he was right eventually.
You know what you did.
We've had a quick group discussion and we'll let this once go. But will look very dimly on it if you do it again.
Saka wouldn’t leave Arsenal for Liverpool. They ain’t big enough.
It looks like they will sell him next summer for ridiculous amount of money(more than Coutinho even) and will use that money to completely rejuvenate and complete the squad.
What a jackpot of a signing has Salah been, it's almost unfathomable. Chelsea reject. Liverpool buy him for relatively cheap(something like €40m), he suddenly, unexpectedly explodes and becomes immediately the best right winger on the planet. Great for marketing because he's Arab(at least speaks Arabic, I'm not very knowledgeable about Egypt's demographics), and that's unique - he probably attracted a lot of North African/Middle Eastern/Arabian fans to support Liverpool.
And now, Saudis desperately want him as a face for their football league project. Even though he is in his thirties now, Liverpool will get massive money for him, maybe even break the Neymar transfer record, or at least close to it. Saudis are basically financing 3 of our rivals - Newcastle, Chelsea and most annoyingly, Liverpool...

All these Tenormen tears are delish. But what I'm trying to say is Utd fans are now where I was in 2000, ten years after our last league win.
I'm recognising all the feelings, tantrums, unrealistic expectations. You've got a while to go before things finally fall back into a good groove. In the meantime, don't keep thinking a(nother) change of manager and a(nother) flukey CL place finish is a sign of better things to come when you're still rolling the same boulder up that never ending hill.
The football Utd are producing is still just as bad as under Gaal, Jose, Ralf, Ole.
The reason I posted this was to help more than anything. Losing Salah will not see us tumble. Losing Klopp will finish us. I'm realistic enough to accept that. I'm also now old and wise enough to recognise it.
Mo money, Mo problems
This whole time I thought the Choccy in the thread title was referring to Brian McClair. Not sure why he'd have the inside track on a Liverpool transfer though.
Tumble from....? You've been consistently shite a few years now! Hopefully ye re-hire Rodgers and you might manage to finish above us next year x
You certainly dont post like an old and wise man. When will you come to that point in life?
I'd use this time to scout potential targets between now and January and assess how Salah does too. If he's naff, sell in Jan and bring someone else in. If he's good then sell at the end of the season and set up a summer deal for someone else.
Wonder how old he was in 2000. Going by his posts I hope he was about 1 or 2.Old men aren't wise
We're all just clueless passengers
