Pogba out and Saul in would do for me. We’d be up around €15m as well if prices are to be believed.

Nobody seems to care anymore. Informal talks with agents seems to be going on all the time.
Looked great before his big injury, since then hasn't quite performed at the same level from what I understand.
If we're after two players for CM on a reasonable budget, I think him & a Neves / Koopmeiners / Tchouameni type would work well and not cost the earth.
Definitely a bit of a punt though.
They have a good business model. Something Utd are well behind on.
They seem to get generous sums but they actually sell at the right times too. They’re very good at that. In contrast, clubs like us and maybe Arsenal, hold on to our young players for too long.
For instance, Tuanzebe could’ve easily fetched £15-20m if we sold him the season Villa got promoted with him. A similar figure could’ve been achieved for Williams after he had his half a season of consistent first team football. Dan James is still worth at least what we bought him for. Etc etc. We tend to hold onto players which depreciates their value.
FFS 12m for Harry fecking Wilson. How are they doing it?
This is true. We hang on to players for too long. Just look at Lingard and Andreas. Starting for us today in friendly when they should have been shipped out 2-3 season back. We will do the same thing with James and Tuanzebe untill their stock is all time low. And with Jones, we will give him another contract probably
and then wed be complaining about them being dead wood in the squad for the next manager to clear out.
Along with the likes of Ibe, Brewster, Solanke, Hoever, they seem to make a good judgement call on whether to put players on first team wages or sell them for a price that reflects their potential. We stick them on first team wages and then struggle to sell them for a decent price when they end up being squad filler.
Who fecking cares how much the scousers got for Harry Wilson? It's hardly going to tip the scales.
Literally a story from today
Melissa Reddy] Liverpool are actively looking to recruit in midfield and attack. One of Liverpool’s big issues has been shifting fringe players, not just in a monetary sense but in freeing up non-homegrown squad spaces and assessing how to get that balance right per rules for a 25-man roster.
The grass isnt always greener
Honestly. It’s not like they got 40m for him either. 12m for a player that’s had 3 decent seasons.
They are just ruthless/professional. They are not soft towards academy players like we are.
We stick with them until they prove that they are really not good enough. They (in some way) take a risk and sell them before there is a clear picture how good/ bad young player is.
Yeah he's a decent player, it's a fair price. It's the same with Grujic, he was part of a Porto side that knocked out Juve from the CL, and they still only got about 10m for him.
Yeah and how's their successful academy players record compared to ours though? It also makes us a far more attractive academy, hence why we are currently stealing one of their players and able to convince very talented Europeans over.
But they do a better job than we do. I wasn't comparing. I was just agreeing with the fact that we hang on to players that we should have moved on long back
When you mention that; what are the registration rules for this season regarding 25-man squad? Can't find it anywhere.
Max 25 over 21 players, of which there can be max 17 non-homegrown. Same rules as before.
No matter of brexit?
Only with regard to work permits for non-UK players. Brexit had no effect on homegrown quotas, not yet at least.
Hmmm do I believe a random AS journalist or several well known reputable journalists who say otherwise?
Yes, yes, the 'journalist' was in the corridor, listening like a spy, he then used his telepathic powers to read their intentions.
Bang of BS off that
Can't get all excited about the good stuff if you're only going to dismiss the bits you dislike
Not even on the moon scale
Well if it were at least believable, maybe it'd make sense.
Bit disingenuous to say that Rice gets a tougher time because he's English. People want Sancho and would readily accept Bellingham in the team.
Possibly. No transfer is a guaranteed success.
I think those three names would do well, but then I know naff all really. We need more than on addition to midfield, which I assume means we'll be shopping on somewhat of a budget, which means we'll be looking at this bracket of 'Potential in my opinion.
Do Liverpool every produce any decent young players?
Harvey Elliott looks decent (they didn't produce him I guess) but the rest seem to just vanish into nothing.
