Pizy 18,988 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Cole Palmer is surely a direct recommendation from Shields. Think I remember seeing a pic of Palmer, Shields, and Lavia together a couple of weeks ago during the Lavia saga. Also noticed Palmer congratulating Lavia on IG after his move here so they’re clearly good mates from their City days. If this move happens in addition to us going big for Lavia it will be crystal clear that the club and Poch trusts Joe Shields intensely.

Vesper 30,276 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Game over with Salah ‘likely’ to leave Liverpool this week after ‘unbelievable’ double Saudi offer Samuel Bannister 1 hour ago https://www.teamtalk.com/liverpool/game-over-salah-likely-leave-liverpool-this-week-unbelievable-double-saudi-offer Mohamed Salah is now expected to leave Liverpool for Al-Ittihad by the end of the week, according to reports. Salah has become a top target for Al-Ittihad after a summer in which the Saudi Pro League champions have also signed Fabinho, N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema. Liverpool’s stance all along has been that he is not for sale after signing the biggest contract in the club’s history last summer. Furthermore, Salah’s agent has denied that they are looking to get him out of Liverpool. But the rumours have been relentless about a move to the Middle East. Now, Jan Aage Fjortoft has revealed via Twitter that “it’s likely that Salah will leave Liverpool this week”. The former footballer, who now works in the media, has described the offers Al-Ittihad have made to Liverpool and Salah as both being “unbelievable”. Other sources have suggested recently that Salah is in line to become the best-paid player in Saudi Arabia, which is quite something when Cristiano Ronaldo is already there with Al-Nassr. The value of Al-Ittihad’s bid to Liverpool for his transfer could come to €150m (around £129m), including a guaranteed payment of £89m. Clubs in Saudi Arabia have until September 7 – six days after the English transfer window closes – to complete any more signings for what has been an incredible summer for their league. Liverpool have already sold Fabinho to Al-Ittihad and Jordan Henderson to Al-Ettifaq this summer, while Roberto Firmino signed for Al-Ahli after his contract on Merseyside expired. Firmino and Salah’s former attacking colleague Sadio Mane has also ended up in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr after leaving Bayern Munich. End of an era for Liverpool Together, the trio of Salah, Firmino and Mane represented one of the most dangerous attacks the Premier League has ever seen. At the peak of their powers, they helped Liverpool to lift a long-awaited Premier League title in 2020. Salah will certainly go down as a Liverpool legend after climbing to fifth in the club’s all-time scoring chart. From 307 appearances, he has scored 187 times for the club – more than Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Kenny Dalglish and many other legends. During his debut season, 2017-18, he scored a sensational 44 goals in all competitions after joining the club from Roma. In the five seasons since, he has always broken the 20-goal barrier in all competitions; in fact, he hit the landmark of 30 or more in each of the past three seasons. But it could now be the end of an era for the Egyptian King, who will be a tough act to follow at Liverpool – especially if they run out of time to sign a replacement before the transfer window closes. Liverpool’s attack also consists of Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota, but most of the wider options prefer to play on the opposite side to Salah.

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) My guess is fee would depend on other conditions. To a midtable club who will accept a buy back / huge sell on fee clause maybe they'd let him go for not much, to us (who wont even consider a buyback) they probably want more. I'd be surprised if we're interested unless it is gonna be sub 40m though. Edited August 30, 2023 by Mhsc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 He would be a similar purchase to Carney for me. Might work out and might be ready to even play for us now, but its really hard to say until they get a run of games and we just see. If the deal is right, there is a tonne of potential upside, and little downside - probably the lowest expectation for his career would be that he ends up at a midtable PL club. It is definitely a much bigger bet than Kudus so the deal has to be for far less money and far less wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Honestly I've got no beef with us picking up 'scraps' from City, should have taken Lavia, Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko too when they were up for sale. Minimum is that the people they let go become very useful squad players wherever they go. They don't let bad players even exist in the first team squad.

Chilwell, Colwill, Badiashile, James, Gusto, Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Nkunku, Sterling, Jackson etc. is a great core for the next years IMO. There are still some question marks over long term suitability and quality of our GKs, RCBs and some of the wingers but at this point in the project that's to be expected.
