Needs to play for Madrid for that to have a chance of happening.
Yep for £150m....or even £135 plus add on's...maybe even a sell on fee percentage...would be silly not to take....would free up a lot of PSR headroom whilst commercial income grows.
The Geordie world collapsed when we sold Andy Cole to Man U....but Ferdinand, Shearer, Ginola all arrived and the supporters saw a period of football (albeit brief) that hadn't been seen arguably since the 50's.

If any player wants to leave & you can get £100m+ they should sell imo.
Crazy that Cole was a record fee at £7m

We’re talking about now,the present
Klopp spent £850m at Liverpool,so don’t get sucked into thinking they did it on A shoe string budget

Think Liverpool will look to pay that sort of money for him
Can’t see him agreeing to go to Saudi

Will need to be a one-off up front payment....none of this installment rubbish.....and as for Saudi....depends what his agent is telling/selling him. The agent stands to make a fortune wherever Isak goes but many of them are in it for themselves as much as "their" player.

Blimey you’ve changed your tune,wasn’t so long ago you were telling us Liverpool wouldn’t spend £100m on 1 player,even after they tried with Caicedo
Surely Liverpool won’t do it twice in 1 window

But didnt spend much at all last season....how many other clubs spent as little last season?We’re talking about now,the present

He isn’t silly , going to Saudi will be a waste
And even installments it allows Newcastle to still spend whatever money comes in
Its rare outside release causes a transfer fee is paid up front

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here?
Just because you have one quiet window doesn’t mean you’re not trying to & have tried in the past to buy success.
Klopp spent all that money & won 1 league title.
Pretty much spent the whole of that time whinging about City’s spending.
As soon as someone mentions Liverpool spending,it’s straight to net spend
Why does it matter where the money comes from?
It’s still buying success.
It’s not like they’re bringing players through their academy

Would £400k per week really be silly?
It’s not like he’s going to lose his international place.

Whatever spending we have done ever since FSG took over has all been within the clubs means , some big sales have helped over that period and the work done on the commercial side and stadium is reaping its benefits
Every club spends money on players - some use the money they earn , some spending owners money - I’m more than happy with spending within the means and not having to rely on a billionaire oil money or hedge fund

Isn’t every club trying to buy success? The only ones that you could say aren’t are the ones who don’t sign anyone, ever.
Some clubs just have bigger budgets than others, partly because they sell very good players….like Liverpool did with Coutinho.

A good article

Yep every top club try’s to buy success.
Some just don’t like to admit it
Coutinho
It’s not just the top clubs though, they just get the attention. Any club who signs a player is trying to buy success by spending money on a better player rather than using someone they already have.
Clubs are trying to buy relative success at every level in the pyramid.

Agreed,but it’s been a problem & “ruining the game” when Chelsea & City did it.
Would it have been better if Man Utd & Liverpool just out spent everyone?

Post of the nightLiverpool are doing what ALL the top clubs do,buying success.
Difference is they look down at other clubs for doing it & act like they don’t
