Listening to/watching/reading Ogden is usually a waste of time. His football opinions are woeful at best and his inside scoops are meh. He's sometime-ish with his reliability.
Yeah Ian McGarry passed earlier this year I think.
I have to say with this signing they need to alter their game plan and and have to work it out. And klopp s underdog cover blown away with this big money signing.
I wonder why they failed to add two three good squad options and kept Mane happy with high wages instead of signing Nunez. They can't expect another injury free season for their starting 11.

Admire the passion and I'm certainly no fan of the scouse but this is a terrible take.
I see the BBC has already reported it as £64 million.
Tomorrow it will be €64 million.
The day after it will be £54 million (equivalent of €64 million)
Which will be reported by the papers as €54 million
Which will be converted by the Liverpool FC website to £46 million
Which will be reported by the Beeb again as €46 million
And then converted by RAWK to €39 million - which is less that what they're selling Mané to Bayern for - so HA! Net Spend Champions 2022/23 once again. Up yours Man City!

Username checks out.
I said it since Christmas last season and Pep has the same line of thought.

It’s at the stage now when they either expect Klopp to win the league or they don’t
“The media love my club’s rivals and hate my club” - every football fan who’s ever existed.
Premier league manager of the season, most players in the premier league team of the season, didn't win the premier league shows that there's certainly smoke maybe not fire.
Benfica have hit the jackpot, after one good season! Fair play to them. The speed with which this move has happened is depressing though. As a United fan.

Confirmed gone to Liverpool. €75mill + €25mill.

It doesn't matter what they spent really. If he's good he's a snip, if not he was a shit signing. The difference between 60m and 80m is neglible.
Funny how that doesn't apply to our very own signings...
Yep, this seems to be the minimum requirement for Klopp.
I read somewhere that this lad immediately hired his own nutritionist/cook and conditioning coach as soon as he came into a little bit of money.
This was on top of what the club already provided.
Clearly a self-driven professional and it's not a stretch to correlate this with his rapid progression.
His superior physique and pace also didn't hurt his chance.
You would wish United's squad had been full of these kind of pros instead of primadonas and whiny toddlers.
Isn’t 64 million what 75 million euros is? Converted? The rest is in bonuses which equates to 85million GBP.
Really depressing. But nothing new there
Looks like a slap up meal for a trio of slapheads!I believe that about as much as I believed EtH broke off his family holiday and travelled to Portugal to speak to Medes.
Meanwhile, here's EtH actually enjoying his time off in Ibiza. Not a football agent to be seen.
very similar *style* to fernando torres
I think he'll fit in really well there with his hardworking and explosive playing style.
Admittedly it is annoying to see other teams, who already have a better starting point than us, getting their big business done before us. Yeah yeah people can rant about “the transfer window just opened” and whatever but the more time a player has to bed in with their new team, especially with pre season, the better. I am still hopeful we can get our major signings in before pre season but it feels doubtful.
Didnt realise he did his cruciate a few years ago, just saw it in an article.
The Times is reporting only the initial fee of £64M in their headline, but they reported the fee + add-ons in their headline for Bruno's fee
Notice the difference, for United, you'll see "for up to"
Another example is, they reported the upfront fee only the headline for Luis Diaz, the total fee is £51M, but they report only the upfront fee of £37.5M

I feel this is them being scared about Haaland.
benteke vibes.
Would have liked him here tbh, now I hope he fails badly. Price is crazy though and above our budget so I hope we at least are part of why Pool had to pay crazy money
First time I feel Liverpool are making a mistake with a big money signing in recent times. There are clear technical deficiencies in his game and I’m not sure he’ll do well against oppositions that sit deep in their box.
What do you expect from your club Liverpool in the next season?
I only saw him in the champions league but he's not the finished article at only 22 ?
Id imagine Klopp can get a tune out of him so I wouldnt write him off yet, interesting to see if he can make the step up in the premier league.
Even if he’s shit, nobody in the media will care. We’ve seen it with Lukaku and Grealish, both poor (at best) last year, but silence.
Do we think Liverpool have come in and swept us aside to sign this lad? Does this signing show how far the gap is between both clubs? Or have Liverpool overpaid for potential and we should be happy he’s not coming to OT?
IF we'd spent what they are on him the narrative would be totally different.
Silence? About Lukaku and Grealish? That’s some impressive revisionism. But more importantly City are the best team in the league, and finished first, Chelsea are the third best team, and finished third. From a media point of view of course they’ll focus on players from teams who have strongly under or over performed.
Even though I don't fancy him here I can see him doing well at Liverpool. Against low block he'll give them an aerial target, they have good crossers and against high lines he can run behind defenses plus he has good work rate.
Deal can still fall through.
Medical is still pending, he needs to show that he is asthmatic before he can pass he's medical.

We made Liverpool overpay for him and it seems like Benfica leveraged our interest against Liverpool during negotiations to extract even more money out of them.
So you pulled out because of a €5m difference in valuation since the add-ons won't be triggered until future years? Seems fishy.
It would just be a huge mistake of a signing for us.
Especially at those prices. We have such urgent need in our midfield, it would be insanity to spend that kind of money on a forward.
