If we are screwed because a young player is refusing to leave then that’s on the club tbh.

 

 

Yeah?! Okay.

Yeah?! Okay.

So you think if we fail meet the requirements for the PSR deadline it’s the fault of Minteh and not the club who have had months to prepare for it ? 😂

[The Prophet]

I agree with Supertoon, but we've been trying and failing to shift players for a while, I wonder how much we're breaching by.

Where did I blame Minteh?

 

The supposition the club have been sat around doing nothing is silly.

 

What they have been doing, and quite rightly so, is trying to ensure we kept our best players. 

 

How on Earth they're supposed to anticipate Minteh turning down Lyon to go to Dyche's Everton, I will never know.

 

But no problem. If push comes to shove Isak or Bruno will go to a Prem rival. Just perfect.

[Joelinton7]

Keep Minteh, take the points deduction, dominate anyway.

Refusing to play at Lyon to play for Everton is probably the single dumbest thing he could ever consider. 

[Upthemags]

Minteh is under no obligation to modify his career goals for our short term accounting needs - if he stays as a result cannot say I'd be unhappy

The kid has no idea what he's letting himself in for, which is very unfortunate for him.

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

Its in the S*n FFS, would you trust anything written in the front pages of that shit rag? If not why is their sports coverage suddenly given any credence?

[Upthemags]

So Ligue 1 is a farmers league all year, but as soon as the kid doesn't want to play there, he's mad to want to play in the prem instead.... cmon lads

Yeah I’m saying let’s sell Bruno and Isak ffs. Im also not saying the club are sitting doing nothing (although we really haven’t maximised sponsorship imo, not even close). But if we do fail to meet the PSR deadline it’s due to the a failure of the club.

It appears the only PL club interested in him currently is a club who has been staring at the brink of relegation and bankruptcy. 

[Beth]

Have Lyon spent anywhere near £40m on any player before, let alone a "prospect"? Utter bollocks story.

Is that how we're categorizing Liverpool these days?

[Stottie]

Maybe wishful thinking, but I'd expect them to have a nuclear option of Miggy and/or Wilson to Saudi for just enough money as a fallback option of avoiding a points deduction.

 

fwiw, some reports have claimed Jordan Henderson didn't actually receive any of that huge salary he was offered in Saudi. He deferred it for tax, and then left before he started receiving it. Football in Saudi is like some Twilight Zone way beyond my comprehension.

Where was their real interest? 

[McCormick]

Saudi clubs won’t give us enough money for both players I reckon. PIF are seriously scaling back a lot of projects now.

Where did I say you said we should sell Bruno or Isak?

 

I'm stating the reality of what we're facing.

 

No doubt these rumblings emboldened Chelsea's cheeky enquiry for Isak.

The article literally says he wants to go to Everton. Why are you talking about Liverpool?

Saudi transfer window doesn’t open until 17th July

They won’t be allowed to give us enough money even if they wanted to.

[The Prophet]

Can see us accepting a less favourable offer from Everton.

[Matt1892]

Nothing wrong with going to Everton as a steppingstone to bigger things.

 

The wages will be better too.

[Bunk Moreland]

Lyon's transfer record is €25m apparently: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/olympique-lyon/transferrekorde/verein/1041

 

There is zero chance of them bidding £40m for anyone let alone a youth prospect.

Well I'm sure this will make all the Minteh fans happy. If true we could be screwed.

you love a dig at people that hold a different view to you  counted a few already to do. It’s almost like you consider it an afont to you that people don’t agree with you. Bizzare behaviour
