Now's the time to do it, to be fair. Mane leaving is a blow, but they're getting a decent wedge for him and it would be smart to reinvest now. Darwin, Salah, Diaz, Jota and Firmino is a nice forward rotation.

I think Nunez is atrocious to be honest... £80m's(+) is just robbery from Benfica whether it's towards Yanited or Pool.

In addition, the wages between the two (Núñez and Haaland) will be night and day.

Again, Liverpool rarely makes these sort of signings. It happens only when the club has its finances in order (i.e. selling Coutinho to bring in both Alisson and Van Dijk).

99% of teams NEVER make these signings.

Well, to put it in perspective, you could run the whole club in Mainz for more than a year for that money. :lol:

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Is Liverpool not suppose to make such signings? For the umpteenth time, I cannot emphasize enough how fiscally responsible the club has been under FSG -- due to its sell-to-buy practice.

If Leicester City sold a couple of players for an exorbitant amount, I, as a fan of another club, wouldn't be complaining about the Foxes spending it on a sole talent.

One more day till the transfer window

Juventus are about to activate Moise Kean option a year early, they want to sell him straight away I doubt they'll make much profit on him. He's still young but I think he was overrated by Juventus.
Newcastle might have a breakthrough with Botman
Zinchenko can leave but wants guarantees that he never plays left back

Non transfer news - Barca likely need a cash inject of £500 mill
Speaking of Barca - Leeds are opening talks with them for Marc Roca
Chelsea are considering putting a bid in for Sterling (I think they have already opened talks with City)
Scamacca is available for 45-50m

The Coutinho deal has helped Liverpool massively in terms of FFP. It's what allows them to make one big splash every transfer window. Other notable transfers were Danny Ings for £22 mill, Mane eventually when he leaves will help as well...

With that said expect Firmino to leave now that Liverpool are signing Nunez.

Cannot see him leaving this summer. Like Salah, his contract is up next year.

I would imagine one of them will leave for free or stay (likely to be Salah) and the other to get a decent fee for them.

Congrats on glossing over the other part of the post. But that doesn't suit your narrative, I suppose.

Can you name me all these big signings you think Liverpool have made?

The last player Liverpool spent more than 50 million on was Keita. That was four years ago (8 transfer windows).

I'm pretty sure you have the second most expensive defender ever and isn't it the most expensive Goalkeeper too.

Poor old Liverpool supporters, so hard done to.

Yeah I read that. He's a decent player but LB is one of the last positions we need.

As I and others have stated, Coutinho's sale to Barca funded the two.

Again, as long as it's done within a team's finances responsibly, what is your issue? Liverpool is not a club run by another country (i.e. Manchester City and PSG). They sell to buy.

By the way, if you're going to try spouting facts, you may want to look them up first. Alisson is not the most expensive GK. That belongs to Chelsea's Kepa.

That's a brag? Do you know how many teams have actually paid 50 million for a player EVER?

Please stop you sound more and more spoilt with every post.

Oh, I'm sorry Leicester City chooses to take its sales and divvy them up amongst several players rather than making an expensive signing.

You sound more and more envious with every post.

Additionally, you make it out as if your club is poor, when that's far from the truth. The domestic TV rights along with international broadcasting revenues put PL teams on another level than those in other leagues.

To be fair to both of you, you both have points...

Liverpool have a privilege just like the rest of the big 6 clubs (not just financially either). Not every team in the prem will be able to spend crazy money or wages on players. I get that the TV deals are crazy, but its still not enough for every team to do what the big 6 teams do.

Big 6 teams have the luxury of splashing a crazy amount on a player and not really caring so much if they flop, where as the rest of the league have to be mindful about making such purchases.

Liverpool in particular have been operating quite as a whole recently, mainly due to Coutinho leaving like its been mentioned. I'm sure (I haven't looked at it) the wage bill is crazy high in Anfield though.

Most of the dislike towards the big 6 is also partially media driven, due to them pretty much ignoring the rest of the league and only caring about what the big 6 are doing.
