It's so delicious watching them getting rejected for clubs that are arguably in a way worse state than them. It's Lavia and Caicedo for Chelsea, Yoro for us and now Zubimendi rejecting them. Sweet sweet moments, their squad is aging their key players are looking past it, they'll suffer to replace Salah, Virgil and eventually Alisson. Their glory days are coming to an end with very little to show for.

Yup. Hopefully they suffer like we did.
They have to make some of their signings this window. PSR threshold is dropping by another10% next year? I know they have talented youngsters, but it is going to be near impossible to recycle a veteran team in one or two windows in a year or two.
Scousers' salty tears- World class manager leaving
- Aging squad in need of a revamp
- Underwhelming replacement manager lined up
- Not much happening in the transfer window (so far)
- Rivals strengthening
It's like it's 2013/14 all over again, but for Pool instead of us.

United are on their way up, Liverpool are on their way down, its seems that God chose to rebalance the balance of football once again. I can't wait to listen to Carragher's rants about it. It's a shame that he doesn't speak in English.
For 100m we'll throw Casemiro in the mix as well. 150m and you'll get a trio of Sancho, Casemiro and McT.
In fairness, last season Bowen scored more goals in the league than all our wide players combined.
Football god please make this happen
Sweet! Without Klopp, Liverpool is nothing special. They hit the jackpot for so long and now is the time to face reality.
Hopefully, they will be the next adult Disneyland and meanwhile we will be back to football pinnacle with our new football structure.

While I don’t agree with the idea of Liverpool going on a similar downward spiral as we did when Fergie retired I believe there will be a significant decline for 1 or 2 seasons. It is impossible not feel the impact of such a long term major figure like Klopp leaving.
Disneyland? More like Barrenland. You need to have money, grandeur and clout to be a Disneyland. They have nothing.
Don't see why he had to bring Loraine Kelly into it.

Imagine if we finish this window with a positive net spend
Them going into a campaign with Salah Alexander-Arnold and VVD all in the last year of their contracts is absurd.
It's horrendous planning to end up in that situation.
It's horrendous planning to end up in that situation.
It is not even about buying a ready made player to fit straight into their starting 11, they should be looking at promising players that can be an understudy to VVD or Salah and be their replacements in 2 - 3 years.
Funny that they don't look like they are planning for the future and replacing their best players when they hit the decline properly.

Yep, I’m not so sure about TAA but I can 100% see Van Dijk and Salah running their contracts down and fecking off for a big payout.
Zubumendi is getting pure abuse on his Insta account for having the temerity to reject the best football club in the world ever. He’s now my most favourite player in La Liga.
Really poor planning from them, how much did Saudi offer for Salah last season? And now they could potentially lose him on a free, absolutely mental.
In the unlikely event they manage to agree contracts with all three, i expect they'll all want significant increases on their current deals. Salah and VVD especially, will have no resale value and will want a few years on their contracts too and at 32 and 33 it isnt great.
I'd move heaven and earth to lock Trent down, the other 2 i think you could spin due to age but losing Trent would be a disaster.
They'll worship a biting, racist cheat in Suarez but they draw the line at shrugging and arm waving.
Yeah I think Salah and VVD leaving on free transfers at the end of the season would be bad but they're 32 and 33 respectively so you could spin it as not a truly horrendous situation. Managing to replace them would be incredibly difficult but that's a different topic.
Losing Alexander-Arnold on a free would just be a complete 100% disaster for them. He's 25, he's a scouser , he should be their next captain probably and yet they might be losing him without even getting a huge fee to compensate.
It's a difficult job to replace Klopp anyway but it feels like they're making things even harder for the new manager.
Unavailable.
Probably why they aren't spending this year since they'll need to splash out 300m the next.
It’s beautiful. I could cry.
And if i was Trent, i think i'd be looking at my options, especially if Madrid are interested.
No Newcastle wanted Quansah or whatever his name is in return. Liverpool said no
This has lots of swearing. NSFW to listen to. Audacity if him to call Zubizubidoo an emotional wreck
I do wonder if Klopp knew what was coming down the line and thought I haven’t got the energy for it
Zubi me arse
It looks like they're filming a social media video for a new TAA contract today.
Yes, please give "Trent" 300k a week. This window is getting better every day lately.
Obviously Trent is one they should keep but they are stupid not to cash in on Salah and VVD for some dirty Saudi money.
They could transform their squad with the cash from those two players alone.
Reminds me of the "no value in the market" period Sir Alex went through. Huge success with backing and then a complete lack on investment beyond that as the team slowly deteriorates.
Inappropriate joke
This has lots of swearing. NSFW to listen to. Audacity if him to call Zubizubidoo an emotional wreck
If you watch this with the sound off it looks like one of those videos from the mid 2000s that Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri used to release every now and then threatening the West with destruction etc.....

He's a very bad man. A very very bad man.
I think there is a definite similarity.
Its not just about an unwillingness to spend, its also this particular position a top club can get into at the end of a cycle where they have a squad full of good players and sufficient depth, but they lack enough truly world class players (and the ones they do have are on the decline).
If you're Liverpool right now, it doesn't actually help to buy a pretty good midfielder or winger or defender. They've got pretty good players on the bench in every area of the team, except maybe defensive midfielder. What they need are a couple more world class, game changing players and those guys are just very hard to find and compete for in the market.
Mbappe is really the only world class player that has moved this summer. You've got a few others that have that potential like Yoro, Neves, Olise, and Calafiori but those guys are also very highly sought after. But there's just not that much available.
Salah is 32 and VVD is 33, the only way they are getting big payouts is going to Saudi
Transfer window going to close in about 2 weeks. Experience tell us that Pool will need to go into panic buy mode soon and seller clubs will rinse them. Ask me how I know
