If Salah goes then Liverpool would have entered the transfer window hoping to sign Bellingham and left it having sold their captain and their best player to a 4th rate league.

If Saudi really wanted him why bid so late. Think its more a publicity stunt knowing the bid would be rejected

they have the money but know liverpool wont sell on the last day of the transfer window with no chance of getting a replacement

Why didnt they bid in July?
Report brentford September 1, 2023 2:31 PM BST
a lot depends on how keen Salah is to move in this window...no point keeping a player that wants out at that kind of price..

if he doesn't want to go or is indifferent at this moment then no move in all likelihood...if he likes the sound of it another 20m probably gets it done..L'pool still have decent options for the front line and probably weren't winning the PL this year..
Report rothko September 1, 2023 2:42 PM BST
yes probably winning the PL but need to qualify for CL
If they sell Salah and finish 5th or lower fans will turn on owners

I find the timing of the bid very suspicious. Seems like a Saudi plot to destabilise Liverpool thereby increasing newcastles chances of CL football
Report rothko September 1, 2023 2:42 PM BST
probably not
Report GoBallistic September 1, 2023 3:44 PM BST
I don't see any panic to buy a replacement this window. They have Jota and Nunez who currently can't get in the first XI plus youngsters like Elliot and Doak who have looked promising
Report rothko September 1, 2023 3:51 PM BST
Totally disagree would leave us weak for 4 competitions with any injuries in that position
Doak is promising but not ready yet

Maybe Klopp could follow suit if another similar amount offered to Liverpool. If so, the EPL and other similar outfits in Europe could be in more than a spot of bother.

Could FIFA ban these mercenary footballers from their prestigious competitions in the future similar to the PGA?

Spurs have been trying to offload players for years but nobody in Europe can afford them. You know they're sh*t when even the Saudi's don't want them.

No offer for Mr Southgate? I think the England FA will gladly see the back of him. It also means no compensation to Mr Southgate - a win-win scenario.

The Saudis won't stop until their league is on a par with the Premier League, La Liga & Serie A.

It didn't work for the PGA and besides the Saudis are full members of FIFA.

No different to how the big European leagues take players from South American football or Africa, smaller European leagues etc..

The game changer will be when the stadiums are air conditioned.
Report impossible123 September 2, 2023 6:56 PM BST
Stadium air conditioned? Like in a glass/gold fish bowl? What about security? The entire stadium could be gassed, if so.
Report impossible123 September 2, 2023 7:02 PM BST
Maybe it's not such a bad thing after all. For one thing the ticket prices will be significantly cheaper given players remaining will be paid significantly less. Another positive is local lads will have a greater chance of playing too.

The Saudi's end game is a top class league, a place in the Champions League and hosting the World Cup.
Report lingbleed September 3, 2023 1:07 AM BST
I think this just pushes the super league back to the forefront. The super league would be a means to compete with the Saudi money and ensure European football remains at the top. It should be noted the Saudis cant really sustain this and just maybe they would be banking on a super league. Just like they did with the golf they would become major investors in the super league. That would be a good investment. Who knows, but money talks!!!
Report lurka September 3, 2023 8:38 AM BST
Why would the Saudi's 'end game' be the CL when they can just be in a breakaway Super League and not subject to UEFA or their FFP rules, which they will never be able to comply with? They are never going to have a 'top class league' either. There are 5 clubs out of 18 doing all the big spending and the living and playing conditions are unattractive.
Report SirNorbertClarke September 3, 2023 9:29 AM BST
Joining a super league or accepting a place in the Champions League would mean complying with some form of FFP.

The Saudi's are not going to agree to that until they have the players and infrastructure to compete.

At the moment with the heat and humidity the SPL is a retirement home. If they want a competitive league attracting younger players they need air conditioned stadia. Don't laugh it can be down. It's just a matter of cost and the Saudis literally have money to burn.

Only when they have a couple of clubs able to compete with City, Real, Barca etc will they join a super league or enter the Champions League. They ain't into weekly humiliation.

If the Saudis are ever short of cash they can just stand on the oil supply hosepipe until the price of oil goes up by a couple of billions a week.
