Salah is the only crown jewel player in the top 6 + Chelsea last season that has been heavily linked. Fabinho, Henderson and all the Chelsea lot - the clubs were happy sellers. Big wages, good fee, not performing at that level - happy to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep we’ve also got the highest number of hometown players and gave the most minutes to domestic players of any team in the league - those sort of players unlikely to want to go to the gulf. If you look at players arguably still in their prime years who weren’t Muslim it’s only really Neves and Mitro. Both at teams unlikely to trouble silverware or CL and both sold for prices they’d not have got from another PL or Euro team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viana Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I also think Saudi - whether it’s a PIF club or not - can’t be bothered with the scrutiny. It was a fight to justify ASM for 23m, so how are you even trying to price Bruno or someone of his ilk? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Veiga guy from Spain has gone he's 21 (might have name and age wrong but there's a young Spanish lad that's gone). Was linked with big clubs, seems like none came in for him. But aye he's comparing us to Wolves and Fulham. But we are in the CL and have massive potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 It's funny because clubs would love it if we sold Bruno to Saudi for £40m. They wouldn't know what to do if we sold him to Saudi for £80-90m because that's actually fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how much did Liverpool sell Coutinhio for ? And the market has only went north since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to flog Bruno btw. Just pointing out the stupidity of his tweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was expecting him to be all pace with questionable end product, so far he's looked to deliver crosses rather than beat his man. Delivered a couple of nice balls so far.

ToonScotman Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Disappointing to see other clubs around us making some very nice moves and us just kind of letting these deals pass up by.

The Prophet Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Lenglet has never looked particularly impressive. I'm sure Emery can get a tune out if Jim though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
