What’s happened lads? Seems to have vanished?
Is it one of their random forum spring cleans?

so the MacAllister deal is done - initial £35m with add ons - great value
Apparently he's a top bloke and you can see from the messages from Brighton how respected he was
still only 24 so plenty to be excited about
Wanted to come to Liverpool based on the conversation with Klopp on how he would be used in the team - similar to how he is used for Argentina on the left more attacking role
Hopefully more to come

Makes a bit of sense to have the left of the 3 more attack minded with Trent coming inside and the RCM probably drifting right and back a bit.
delighted with the appointment.
lets hope we can bag a few more quality players

I see klarna bank asked John Henry on twitter if he wanted to apply for a buy now pay later loan off them, talk about getting toasted. They know he won't spend like he should on a club that's had good success last 7 years or so, too busy doing the house up to make more money in the sale. They've had a great ride on klopp and transfer crew, time they paid them back in hard cash to spend, but I doubt it. We're back in home bargains.
look on the bright side, loui....
at least your lot can spot a bargain still....

Think that's harsh lou.
They've overseen the building of a new training complex, new main stand and the Anny Road almost done. Talk that the Kop is next on the list. We've got in quick to snatch a key target who seems a bargain the way prices are going. Not even July yet. Let's see how the squad looks in six weeks.

Actually no. I've just seen the new away kit. FFS. What a monstrosity. Henry Out!
Saw that kit and compared it the similar one 20 odd years ago, and it's not nice, the green one we've just had is very nice. We've been cute in the transfer market in recent times, just think it would be good if we had the odd marquee signing, but we clearly can't compete for them players, but Fabricio is confident we're getting the Hungarian lad from Leipzig for 70m, but we'll see, be happy if we sign 3. And yes PP, we practically stole Mac Allister.
only seen highlight of our new signing Dominik Szoboszlai - only 22 and captains his country so exciting to see him develop under Klopp
Jurgen Klopp failed to convince Jordan Henderson to stay at Liverpool after making a ‘last-ditch plea’.
Henderson is closing in on a mind-boggling £12million move to Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ettifaq, where he will reunite with Reds legend Steven Gerrard.
Despite being someone who has proudly worn the rainbow armband as Liverpool captain and used his position to speak up for LGBT+ rights, the England midfielder has decided to tarnish his reputation as one of the good guys by moving to a country where homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death.
His Liverpool salary is believed to be worth around £10m per year (the poor sod) and in Saudi Arabia, he will earn a reported £36m every 12 months.
Reds boss Klopp was understandably reluctant to lose his captain in a summer where he is completely remodeling his midfield.
Henderson has been at Anfield since July 2011 and became club captain four years later following Gerrard’s departure.
Discussing the 33-year-old’s impending move to Al-Ettifaq, Klopp said: “In the end, all of these decisions are made by me.
“And because I respect the players a lot, it’s usually with consent. It was in this case, and it is all fine.”
Sad to see him go = money talks

Henderson has confirmes his departure.
Sad to see him go and wish he had fulfilled the final two years of his contract - definite loss for us and for a derisory 12 m.
Surely the club could have done more to keep him?

His next place of work is always going to leave a bad taste after all he's said and done.
But at the same time he's been one of our greats. A better captain than Gerrard imo, though not as a player obvs. But it's clear he's got a bit of an ego. Should really have quit international footy a couple of years ago as he was already struggling to see a season out. Wasn't given assurances that he'd be the first name on the sheet and so has gone to play in a tinpot league instead. After losing Firmino and Keita for nothing (and plenty before them) it's probably good to be getting a decent wedge in for him and just after buying two players who would see him relegated to the bench.
Alongside many others, right now I feel a bit of bitterness about his departure, but in time I'm sure he'll be welcomed back and be treated with the respect his acheivements deserve.

Bitter taste is about right PP
He would have defo added to the squad if he stayed as well as brining on some of the new and less well established players.
Sold out for the dosh at the end of the day but hey ho he was a good servant for the club and enjoyed some fanatastic success.
lets hope our next captain equals or betters that success.

I always wanted to keep him after losing Firmino and Milner in the same window. That's a lot of experience and leadership out of the club in one go. He'd probably not be a first teamer but his influence on the training ground and in the dressing room would still be huge. Just got to get on with it though and hope the likes of Robertson and Trent have picked up enough and are ready to be the leaders now.
Trent for captain btw.
Trent for captain btw.
One thing for sure the Saudis have really f*kkd up our preparation - now clubs are gonna be asking an extra 10 or 20m premium on the likes of Lavia. A lot of experience has gone in one month and Jurgen's preparation and plans are needing a lot of rethinking.
Captain for me any one of Allison, Robbo or VVD. Trent just not an out and out leader yet for me

Real loss of leadership in the dressing room with Milner as well so thats a worry
Robbo for captain as he seems to do a good job at that for scotland
Hendo led some of the campaigns on equality so its more annoying that he was preaching to us on this and the goes to take the saudi money. Money comes first and they are all mercenaries

No income tax in Saudi. £36m a year means £36m a year.
This hypocrisy of this deal has definitely left a bad taste but also let's not forget Stevie's part, I'm pretty hacked off that he targetted Hendo. Big lack of respect there. Well done to the golfers like Rory and Tiger who told those kunnts where to go.
Not so fussed about him. Got the best years out of him. Was awful last year, and being 29 that was a big issue. Has he got too many miles on the clock already? Supposed to be a bit disruptive behind the scenes and not the best trainer either. Got a good fee for him and as long as we get a good replacement in then we should be ok.
I keep expecting Thiago to make a push to leave but he's leaving it late.
See VVD has been given the armband and Trent is deputy. Probably the right call.

Jurgen Klopp has brilliant attackers, Alexis Mac Allister and Dom Szoboszlai are exciting buys, but it is nowhere near enough. Now, we're rushing to get overpriced players who will not get the benefit of the pre-season to acclimatise.
Romeo Lavia may well end up at Anfield, but he's 19. How can he replace a legendary skipper and a Brazilian who, while on the decline, was once the best anchorman in the business?
Temporary sporting director Jorg Schmadtke is doing his work from his laptop in Ibiza, while our only two buys were sorted by his predecessor Julian Ward.
What's the plan? It increasingly feels like there is not one. We obviously took the £52m in total for Henderson and Fabinho without incomers lined up. That is poor, from a club who were once unbeatable in the transfer market.
Now, we are risking wasting the final few elite years of Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah's careers. And the biggest problem will be trying to replace those superstars in the next few summers.
Liverpool fans are angry, and rightly so.

Henderson had 2 years left on his contract but was out of the door with days of the Saudis making an offer.
Liverpool were too soft with him.

At least we know how much our owners have to spend now, unless it was a blag counter bid.
ffs how can you put such a bid in if you dont know the player wants to come to the club
do Moises and Alexis not whatsaap !!!
weve done fantastic on recruitment up until of years but it looks like amateur night

Aye.
The modern way is to make sure the player is on board then you put in a bid.
Whoever is in charge of transfers at LFC should be sacked.
He's made you look like mugs getting rejected, plus he's revealed that you've got a wad of cash to spend therefore pushing the price up for any alternative.

A blag counter bid only works if the selling club turns it down.
If the bid gets accepted then you get blown out by the player, looks a bit desperate & embarrassing.
It's all looking a bit amateurish.
Chelsea v Liverpool on Sunday looks interesting

guy is obviously a bit of a idiot ..happy to spend his future warming the chelsi bench
Moises is like all players and at the end of the day money talks. Unless Liverpool offer bigger wages than Chelsea he won't come.
What baffles me is after the last transfer window how can Chelsea spend so much money this window and still comply with FFP.

Chelsea's training ground is at Stoke d'Abernon so the players live in the Cobham/Oxshott areas. London is a painful trudge down the A3.
why wd anyone want to live in london.. horrible place liverpool far better place to live
more multi cultural for foreign players and easy access to Heathrow for travel etc..less likely to get shot up in a pub etc...
bollocks and so very steriotypical. some great places tolive on merseyside very muticultural and diverse and a hell of a lot cheaperbetter looking women too
while since I've been to Liverpool so maybe so...
perhaps he just thinks Chelsea is a much better football option...

Harvey Elliot always makes things happen with his energy and adventure. Is there a reason he didn't start?
It went quite flat 2nd half, but capt T spot on, Elliott and Doak perked us right up. If Salah was onside for 2nd could have been painful for Chelsea,

They might be in a good position re FFP but giving such long contracts is storing up problems for the future, If a player falls out of favour after a couple of seasons or a new manager doesnt want them then how the heck can they move them on to another club if they've got 6 years left on their contract when most clubs will offer 3 or 4 years.

Back from hols so catching up.
One conspiracy theory in my head that I can't believe the anti-FSG mob haven't picked up re Caicedo.
Maybe we always knew he wouldn't join us. Spoke to him enough times and his mind was made up. So our "bid" was done in the knowledge it would never be acted upon.
But imagine we did have that money and were prepared to spend it. Someone tell me agin then why we thought Bellingham was out of our price range. You've literally got the new Gazza/Zidane there and he's gone for less than the new Hamann. If we could spend that money why didn't we get the far better player. Oh, and for similar fees Rice is ten times the player Caicedo is.
The fee for Caicedo was clearly nonsense. You just can't pay that much for someone who'd play such a limited role. You just can't.
I think we still need to work slightly on our system. Trent is asked to leave the right wing but no-one is really covering it. There was a vid of Klopp talking to the new guy and telling him the team is too offensive. He's playing Gakpo in midfield ffs. Of course we're offensive. I'd like to see us try Gomez somewhere: either as a RB or DM. I think he could do it and add some better balance. At least till Thiago and Bajcetic get fit.

Did we have the money before getting in the unexpected circa £50m for Fab and Hendo?
I think where your conspiracy theory falls down is that every selling club now knows how much money we have and how desperate we are. It's not a good place to be.

When the Saudis buy a player do they pay cash or is it on the never never
Heard Naby Keita got injured in the warm up in werder bremens 1st game, abductor injury, be out for a few weeks, and so on and on amen.
fantastic result
Harvey Elliot really making difference when on

Well I enjoyed that a lot. Best way to win. Trent's booking was ridiculous in that it was a clear foul by Gordon. Ref bottled the second one as he knew he'd gotten the first so wrong. Meanwhile their players had been watching Fernandinho clips all week and just doing cynical fouls all over the shop safe in the knowledge the ref wouldn't touch them.
Thought Howe lost it when he subbed off Gordon, Isak and Tonali at the same time. Basically said he thought the game was won and he was resting them for challenges ahead. Felt then that we'd get back into it. To win it though was great. Echoes of Owen at Wembley in 02.
Now if Darwin could bother learning some English and listening to tactical instructions we'd have a hell of a player.

showed fantastic character
this game showed why the squad needed a refresh as we would have lost this game last year
still need a couple in and next week will be a long week
how does joelinton get away with it - so many cynical fouls and no cards !!
i was at the game at anfield last year when we won it very late - he spent more time on the deck than he on his feet trying to waste time and break the game up

Tonali was causing us problems till he was strangely subbed, has got pace. Is a good signing for them. Our subs were excellent, even Gomez was on his game. Klopp done well by going on the attack when most teams would be trying to keep the score respectable. Elliott, Jota and Nunez had instant impact. Great day in the end, was worried at half time, our passing was way off 1st half. But turned into a bit of a classic in the end.
I reckon our defensive set up is tailor-made for Gomez. If he's back at it he should be a fixture, though Matip did ok in fairness. Was really worried about him. Quansah acquitted himself well too.
Liverpool have agreed a deal worth £34.3m (40m euros) to sign midfielder Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich.
The 21-year-old Netherlands international joined the German champions from Ajax last summer but has struggled for first-team football.
Gravenberch has made just one substitute appearance this season.
Liverpool have been linked with him for much of the summer and will now aim to conclude a deal before Friday's transfer deadline.
The Reds have already signed Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo this summer in a refresh of their midfield.
Key midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have left Anfield to join Saudi Arabian clubs, while James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also departed on free transfers.
Gravenberch came through the Ajax academy and made his debut for the club in September 2018 against PSV Eindhoven.
In all, the box-to-box midfielder played 103 matches for the Dutch club, scoring 12 goals, before joining Bayern for an initial 18.5m euros.
Last season he started just three games in his 24 Bundesliga outings for Bayern, and made his one appearance this season as a late substitute in a 3-1 win against Augsburg on Sunday.
bit underwhelming but lets see

If they'd bid in June I think it might be considered. But not now. Fee is immaterial when you're losing your best player with no chance to replace him.
Always thought he'd be going there next summer and that still stands.

yes next summer seems favourite but I suppose January is possible depending on how the season is going
Not seen Gravenberch play - I'm sure they will have asked VVD about his character

I'm quite excited for Grav, though it's probably more based on him being a star of my FM team than anything else!
But I don't get the downsides. Ok, he hasn't had a great year at Bayern but there've been loads of great signings in that profile. Weren't both Gini and Robbo relegated when we bought them. Thierry Henry flopped in Italy before Arsenal rescued him. He did ok.
So yeah, I don't think it really reflects his ability or potential.
I just hope it's properly scouted etc from our side. I'm still very nervous about Klopp getting more rein on transfers and that Jorg guy seems to have been a complete waste of time. To be fair, the signings so far have been good. MacAllister is a snip and Szobo looks a great player. This does feel a bit of a Pep signing, with him joining VVD and Gakpo.
And again, I'm not overly worried about the DM situation right now. I think McAllister can play there for one thing, and it's not an overly stylised position; essentially one midfielder has to sit back, read the game and be ready to spring if danger looms. The fees being bandied around for DM's have been utterly ridiculous and I'm glad we haven't joined that party.
I'd still like us to get a CB though. They're already dropping and we're clearly a man short there.

Yes agree about the CB position
Mac Allister doesnt want to play DM - Im sure hes happy to fill in but wants to play off the left like for Argentina
The Europa draw looks good particularly that we arernt travelling to the depths of eastern europe

Waiting gif a better offer so they can say they had to take the money!
If they refuse £200 million and £1,500,000 a week for Salah I would have the ultimate respect for Klopp and Liverpool but I would also think they were as mad as a box of frogs!

Hendo's interview with the Athletic is hilarious. Never went to Saudi for the money
Isn't it just, Rothko?! Talk about painting yourself into a corner!
FWIW, I don't begrudge him it, but I just wish he'd be honest and not treat us like we all came down in the last shower.

Yep.
He's traded enough on being a great captain and a great person, of standing up for his values and we've all seen how much they're really worth. By trying to kid on that it's all about excitement about the project he's just made himself look stupid. Just fess up that the money's too good to turn down when the alternative was warming the bench.

Apparently him playing in saudi will have a positive impact on saudi human rights. The response by Amnesty International was damning and I'm sure hendo will be raising the cases identified by AI of human rights abuses with the Saudi authorities !!
The lack of playing time argument is nonsense as we are in 4 competitions and injuries will kick in. He would struggle to play 2 games a week anyway and would have had a prominent leadership role at the club given Milners departure and the new signings
He would have had lots of options to join other clubs as well
I'm not sure why players don't tell the truth as supporters would well understand that the financial package is too good to turn down
The lack of playing time argument is nonsense as we are in 4 competitions and injuries will kick in. He would struggle to play 2 games a week anyway and would have had a prominent leadership role at the club given Milners departure and the new signings

I think everyone needs to get off their high horses. The money on offer would test anybody.
If I was Henderson I would take the money and wear the laces.

If you actually bothered to read what had been posted, you would see that nobody is on their high horses about anything other than his responses.
Let's say that a very generous price for Salah is 115 million, I think so anyway.
The Saudis have apparently offered 215 million.
It would be a really really nice gesture would it not if Liverpool football club accepted the 215 million,and then pumped a 100 million in the local community, what a gesture that would be, of course it won't happen.

pump £100m in the local community on what - these are businesses not charities
i would suspect all clubs have programmes of spend to engage the local communities already

Probablt would use most of it to pay for the new stand, be enough left for a cheap player, wouldn't invest it all on the pitch.
poor 1st half but 2nd tremendous
Harvey E and Curtis J
really coming on
Nunez will be fine
Dom Szoboszlai diff gear

TBF I wasnt a fan of Elliott but every time he has come on he has lifted the energy levels in the team
ffs that was hard to take
the standard of the officials this season is terrible not just for us (i.e wolves) but I think howard webb should resign. Perhaps like the saudis we should look to recruit some talent from abroad
i wont go into the imaginary offside but the first red card if it had been given as a red card on the field no one would have argued ( would have been a bit harsh imo) but to refer it to VAR as a clear and obvious error was wrong
I wont go into the Jota first yellow it was a joke the lad fell over his own feet
anyway we have showed tremendous character and the squad is together

Brutal decisions yesterday - the ref and VAR got just about every major decision totally wrong. How can they be so incompetent? Totally f uck up your job and you'll get sacked but these clowns are untouchable. Unbelieveable how they f u cked that match up so badly
we seem to be talking about poor refs decisions and VAR rather than the football every week
Howard Webb should be taken to task about the drop in standards
Thats why I dont bet on the football anymore as you dont know how the poor officiating will impact on the game

Nice to see our midfield getting goals yesterday, and helping our front 5 out a bit , who have scored 35 odd between them so far. For us to go the whole way they’ll have to get to 80 i reckon, we’re doing good though, sometimes midfield gets outplayed in periods of games. We need a player in there in January to bolster things up for the big push.
