After this Liverpool will also have the most expensive transfer in premier league history. We won't have a transfer in the top 5 after this.

Chelsea are predicted to finish 5th. Which means that are far as the bookies are concerned, them strengthening does more to increase the competition for a top four place than Liverpool strengthening does.I don't get your logic matehow can Liverpool being significantly strengthened help our top 4 chances
He he goes to Chelsea, who cares, makes no difference to top 4 and Liverpool are far from nailed on top 4 either. If he goes to Liverpool, then they're challenging for title as much as us, Arsenal and possibly Newcastle.
And of their predicted top four, we're the team they view as most likely to miss out should Chelsea make top four.
I was going to say that, too. Also, being almost three years younger, he will retain his sell-on value longer, or they’ll just get more years out of him.
With that said, no transfer is a sure thing. Plenty of busts in the 100 million club.
Hindsight is 20/20 and it's a bit apples/oranges. We needed a proven top-shelf DM last year and Casemiro provided an instant impact + leadership I don't think we could have counted on from any of the others.
A better way to look at it is asking whether our squad is better off with the uplift from a 3rd place finish driven by Casemiro + spending another 30-40 for a backup CM? I think that's a much closer question
The Saudis bought all their garbage for a big fee.
We’re just trying to get that Andy Carroll transfer out of the top 20. Over 10 years of work.After this Liverpool will also have the most expensive transfer in premier league history. We won't have a transfer in the top 5 after this.
I'm unsure what I'm saying that is deemed irrelevant it's basic comprehension.Stop posting nonsense.
We've spent £170M on transfers so far and could get a couple more in yet.
How come Liverpool don't have to worry about FFP then?
I highlighted the movement of players in this window has been regarding a specific area of the defensive midfield. The validity of United not entering the market for this specified area and the players of interest is due to how the budget was used last season. What's hard to understand about this ?
Liverpool have the lowest NET spend of the top six over the last five seasons as they have sold competitively that has given them leeway with FFP.
The numbers being spunked around this summer are actually insane. £110m feck me. I thought Liverpool fans were crying poverty the other day
Great deal for liverpool. Caicedo to liverpool and adams to chelsea done and dusted. Good now get ready for pl season. Hope now santos and ugochukwu stays with us.
Would have been €5m to sign him from that club in Ecuador,unfortunately the complex ownership put us off. IF only we had the necessary knowledge that Brighton garnered
They can predict what they like, I don't predict anyone to get a tune out of the rabble Chelsea have thrown together for, how much now, getting towards 3/4B and they haven't signed anyone decent this window either.
Fffffffffffff that’s super annoying. But ah well, he could’ve been a flop under Ole/Rangnick magic and get binned by ETH. Who knows.
Anyway, Brighton is in for a midfielder now? We have a Scottish international for a pantry £60M if they want.
So you’re saying sign Adams, leave Lavia alone and just run with Santos and Adams as the DM pair?
Why aren’t Chelsea going to £110m?
Oh piss off!
Rice is excellent once you read through his instruction guidebook. He only passes backward, yes, but once you figure out he can be confused to which way IS backwards … the possibilities really open up.
Makes you pig sick doesn't it
I wouldn't worry about it too much, he would've been sent on loan 3 times and we'd be talking about him now like we're talking about Pellistri/Amad...
Wish they were interested in McTominay,we need that money to go and approach Real for Valverde/Tchouameni
Brilliant signing for Liverpool. Huge huge upgrade on what they had last season.
A hundred and ten million for Moises fecking Caicedo. feck me. A hundred and ten. That’s actually insane.
I give up, hopefully you'll soon use up your daily allowance and toddle off back to the newbiles, so no one has to read the drivel you post for another day.
Good grief, where the feck do you think we would have been last season without Casimero? Do you even watch United, or do you only take notice of the transfer windows and not bother with what goes on inbetween?
Yeah, it's way over the top, but it could be a game changer for them.
That fabihno money came in handy, knew they would go big. Chelsea made a right mess of that. I think Liverpool will challenge now, huge signing for them. The defense is a question mark, funny they couldn't pay up for Bellingham and they ended up paying more him now.
We were being too prideful at £100. £110 is insanity. Well done Brighton.
Bellingham 115 as well.
Forgot about him, yeah that one too.
Hope Casemiro lasts another couple of seasons.
Gutted we aren't trying for the top one
Does this include the extras? £30+ million for third parties.

I hope Mainoo will grow into a star for us. Will be a massive saving.Hope Casemiro lasts another couple of seasons.
I wonder who the next big midfield hype will be. Probably some kid out of the French talent conveyor belt.Hope Casemiro lasts another couple of seasons.
HIJACK DRAMA!
Bargain buy by Liverpool.
Utd need a big name to replace Casemiro
There will always be another talent to snap up when we are ready.
Would rather see Mainoo develop.
