Ed2 earlier today on Euro page you listed us along with arsenal inter and juve as keen on mendy but haven't really seen him mentioned on here. I thought city were nailed on for him? . Is he an option if Robertson can't be done as you suggested we would now turn to him.

Sessegnon, Tymon, Mendy, Robertson, Perreira were among the full backs LFC were looking at and had decided to go for Sessegnon but it didn't work out and they have decided to go for Robertson. Mendy was looked at but probably the price has put them off, and while I am in agreement with people who think LFC need to spend big to just keep up with the big guns, spending close to 50 million on Mendy is ridiculous and I am happy we are moving on from him.

Why is it "ridiculous"?
Shouldn't we be looking at players to take club to next level? If, say, Mendy, VVD and Lemar (maybe for a combined £150m) be deemed to be such players, why would it be "ridiculous" to spend such money on each of them?

I suppose you believe there's some "cheaper" option elsewhere.
Isn't this sort of mentality the reason why Liverpool has consistently failed to hit next level? Instead of of bringing in 1 or 2 true, game-changing players, we opt for 4 or 5 more cause they "economical".

Haven't we had a high turnover of such players? The so called safe, economical spends?

No doubt Mendy would significantly address and bolster an area of HUGE weakness. Even he if was the ONLY signing made. we'd be majorly improved.

Yet it would be "ridiculous" paying £50m of that what it takes to get him.
If club deems him worthy at £50m or whatever, why is it a problem for fans?

If the club could and indeed signed Mbappe (£110m), Laporte (£70m) and Mendy (£70m), some will actually STILL be moaning.
"Too much for one player". "Too much for a defender". Even if these are signings that transform the team and take us next level.
They'd rather buy "six decent" players for that money.

Unbelievable.

Way to go to bankrupt the club!

What is unbelievable is the suggestion of spending £250m in one transfer window. Liverpool will also not be buying six decent players at £41m each for that money either.

Liverpool simply will not be able to afford £250m in one window along with entering the wage bill into the realms of no return. We already have one of the highest wage bills in the league with our current squad.

This is not Football Manager.

"What is unbelievable is the suggestion of spending £250m in one transfer window. Liverpool will also not be buying six decent players at £41m each for that money either. "

Utter nonsense.
Where in that post do I suggest that Liverpool can/ cannot afford to spend 250m in one window?

Now lad. very slowly. read. and do so to UNDERSTAND. perhaps with a little less of the condescension.

I have no idea what Liverpool's plans are and what extent they willing to go or not go to follow thru with them. hence the "ifs" and "coulds" in my post. Hypothetical.

And frankly, you haven't the faintest clue either.
Liverpool may or may not pay £50m for 1 player this window.

Frankly, that was not the point.
The point was IF Liverpool deem Mendy worth £50m/ £70m and willing to pay, why would it be "ridiculous" to do so?

Because you "fans" say so? Because Max says so?

Liverpool likely won't spend £250m. just as it's highly unlikey-to-certain we won't be signing Mbappe, Mendy and Laporte.

Some of you live in a fantasy world. Or have we managed to land ourselves some 'oil money' in the hours I have been asleep?
I agree that we need to spend the big bucks to keep up with city, Chelsea and united but we just don't have that money available to us. Therefore, astute buys and, importantly, world class coaching, will be what we need to set us apart from the rest.

I'm slightly confused as to why everyone thinks Mendy is the solution we need he is being touted as being a very good player but has only has one decent season this year, and its not like Monaco don't leak goals they just outscore everyone usually thanks to there front line, He has only really come on this season but is he worth a 50 million pop? City can do that and then not care if he fails they can sell him on and buy the next fantasy signing, as a club Liverpool need to be signing players that are the right fit and have the right attitude for us I will back whoever comes through that door I do believe again next year the winner of the league will be a surprise again.

Why is everyone so hung up on the cost of a player. The club won't pay more than they can afford. Money invested into transfers is for the club to worry about not is fans. Let's just back who we sign regardless of their transfer fee.

It is ridiculous because they're not worth that much.

Exactly Jackored.

End of the day, our opinions here have zero significance. If clube says fine with Keita at. £50m. that'll be that.

Leave those who handle the money to worry about it and suppor.

Although I agree that the fees are ridiculous and completely way out of hand now that is the way the market seems to be going this summer at least anyway. Every player has their price and the only way that a player becomes 'worth' that amount is when the buying club and selling club agree on that price.

Can't we just let people have their opinions - it's what football is about. You can argue a point in contrast, but there is no need for the attacks guys!
