Scousers turn down £150 million bid for Salah from Al-Ittihad.

They’re expected to come back with a bid of up to £200 million as there’s 7 days until the Saudi transfer window closes.

Nailed on he will go the bin dippers can’t turn that kind of cash down.

Snuck through at the last minute Mason Greenwood signed for Getafe on loan from Man Yoo... guessing that contract wasn't terminated after all

[Andyben]

Good luck to him

If they turn down £200m then they're bonkers.

Why’s that?

Before commenting further, I’ll add the caveat that I don’t follow the detail of the goings on in the EPL, only to the extent that you can’t get away from it. So I don’t know what other business Liverpool have done this summer.

Having lost Mane last summer, they then failed to qualify for Champs league. How much has that cost them? I don’t really know, but if finishing bottom of EPL get £100m, I suspect that the difference between fifth and fourth, and missing out on Champs league, is seriously big money.

This summer, they’ve already lost Firmino. Have they replaced him? If they lose Salah now, what does that do to their chances of a top four finish? What good is £200m in your pocket if you can’t spend it for four months?

By January, without Salah, they may well be too far adrift to make it into the top four again. Surely they’re better keeping him, get a few goals and points, then sell in January (even if less than £200m) and get an immediate replacement.

Of course, I hope they do sell, because it’ll likely be bad for them, but the sensible decision would be to hang on, for now. It’s a similar debate, but with much bigger numbers, that we have with “should we cash in on Windass?”, but “he’ll keep/get us up, so the value is in keeping him”.

Thomas Cannon not involved for Everton tonight so suspect off somewhere on loan.

 

Might have to shell out for his loan, though.

[Andyben]

Bit late now to move, wouldn't want to breach any regulations

These jokes would have been funnier had he not joined Leicester

Or Arsenal

For all the talk that Wednesday are shit when it comes to recouping money on players....

Nicolas Pepe signed for Arsenal for £72m in 2019. 

He's set to leave the Arse and sign for Trabsonspor, for £3m.

Stephen Fletcher is..soon to be appearing on a TV series.

He’s signed for Wrexham

I think you're just making shit up for attention at this stage mate.

Fletcher signing might have something to do with this.

Wrexham 'bought' Luke Armstrong from Harrogate for £500k but failed to get the paperwork done in time so had to send him back to Harrogate. Trouble is Harrogate had already spent £200k on Armstrong's replacement, Josh March from Stevenage, and also signed Sivi on loan from Boro. They could now be in danger of breaching SCMP due to Armstrong being their highest paid player and having to go back to those wages

Sky Sports reporting Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti is set to sign for Al Arabi.

The clubs have agreed a £38.5m (€45m) deal for the Italy international, who will double his wages in Qatar.

Should be ashamed of yourselves

Sam Clucas to Rotherham

Sam Clucas to Rotherham

Been signed as cover for Shane Ferguson who's having to go back under the knife for his 3rd groin surgery and is likely to be out until around February time. 

Clucas isn't exactly fighting fit either. He's not played that much over the past two seasons having had surgeries on his back and both knees. His injury record is the reason Stoke released him and no one else picked him up before Rotherham 

[Skamp]

Sam Clucas. Sounds a bit of a snotty **** to me.

Surprised we missed him with that record

[LiamOwl]

He had back to back knee injures whilst at Everton and has struggled to get a deal since. I read an interesting article about him on BBC website a few weeks since.

So, Fisayo Dele Bashiru's agent is at it already..... 

 

[Tylluan]

Napoli have been watching him for since mid September. They've been digging on his Wednesday stats as well. 

Serie A clubs, in particular those with not much money to spend, see the Turkish league as a cheap market. 

https://football-italia.net/napoli-look-to-turkey-for-reinforcements/

But his agent gets wind of the Italian interest and starts hawking him around telling everyone he's got to be good if Napoli are interested

I remember posting in the match thread against them that I'd seen enough of them to know they'd be there or thereabouts, not seen anything of them since but they looked a good team vs us. 

I think a lot were disappointed with the result that day thinking they'd be in the mix at the wrong end, not a chance

Honestly could not tell you who was where in the League apart from knowing Leicester are top.    While ever we are not troubling moving up points wise there is no interest.

Hull have spent around £25m over the last two seasons

Few tabloids suggesting the barcodes will be after De Gea in January as Pope likely out for 3-4 months.

No idea why they'd wait until January mind bearing in mind De Gea is a free agent

Think Howe will give Dubravka a chance as first choice for a few games.  

[Tylluan]

In his Luton pre match Arteta said that he was open to letting Ramsdale go out on loan to bolster his England squad chances. 

I don't think he'll change his mind, even after last night.
