The Guardian reporting that Benfica have agreed the sale of Nunez for €80m plus add-on €20m to LFC.
1.) 11 Jun 2022 18:24:12
Yes Paul Joyce has just said we are 8M apart I’m valuations. So it is clearly not in anyway done deal. Seems to be dragging on now.
2.) 11 Jun 2022 18:33:40
Amazing how some only believe negative journalism.
3.) 11 Jun 2022 19:01:10
Dragging on? It’s almost as if a €100 million transfer isn’t as simple as popping down the shops for a loaf of bread.
4.) 11 Jun 2022 19:45:21
Why hasn’t it happened at the speed I deem fit? Surely I am the judge of how fast or slow a transfer of this size should be?
Stupid FSG, can’t believe they are doing it again, even though they haven’t ever got it wrong so far!
5.) 11 Jun 2022 20:06:27
They sure as hell get it wrong giving Rodgers funds for Balloteli.
6.) 11 Jun 2022 20:13:05
Obviously we have a price in mind and will not pay over the odds
This may drag on, hopefully we won't walk away but you never know.
7.) 11 Jun 2022 20:20:06
It’s a new guy doing the deals so who knows how it’ll work out.
8.) 11 Jun 2022 20:35:44
It’s a new guy?
It’s not a chippy. They’re pretty good at this.
And as to the above poster referencing Ballotelli, think you’ll find Rodgers was dead against signing Mario. You might be thinking to Benteke.
9.) 11 Jun 2022 19:51:22
In fairness I will always believe a report which suggests we are £Xm less than a team wants… So according to the report we are at £60m they want £68m and Ward is over there to close the deal. Interesting transfer, lots of potential, but no way the finished article, so a big price and gamble.
But then I thought Bobby was shocking when he arrived at a huge price for us at the time and that hasn’t been too bad.
10.) 11 Jun 2022 21:29:12
I was simply alluding to Julian ward doing business. He might be all about the slow negotiations. It could drag on for a while. We don’t know. We haven’t seen how he does business. Traditionally we haven’t been great at doing deals. Namely tapping up players before offering a low offer and generally making a bad name for ourselves. So it might drag on but if it’s a good deal for both clubs and before preseason- I’m happy.
11.) 11 Jun 2022 22:10:05
Balloteli was Rodgers's choice. I can't remember the biography I read it in. He was desperate for a striker and that's who he plumped for.
We've come a long way from those dark dismal days.
12.) 11 Jun 2022 22:29:18
There was no such thing as 'Rogers' choice since we buy - and bought by committee. A week before the transfer he told a press conference we were '100%' not interested in Ballotelli. A month after he was sacked, he said live on Sky Sports: ' I think with Mario they were maybe thinking here's a guy we can get in for £16m and sell for £50m'
Maybe it was Stephen Hendry's autobiography you were reading?
13.) 11 Jun 2022 22:41:34
Absolutely.
Rodgers was livid we signed Mario.
He did, however, go against advice and insist we signed Benteke, who was rubbish.
14.) 12 Jun 2022 09:49:54
FSG don’t scout or select the players. Transfers can take time, if you look back at ed002’s previous posts, you’ll see how complicated the processes can be.
24 Apr 2022 17:09:18
According to Will Unwin in the Observer, in an article about Thiago and Keita, Thiago is considering settling in the area when he retires. If he can keep fit we may be enjoying his skills for some years to come.
1.) 25 Apr 2022 12:34:31
Why would here choose over here rather than back in Barcelona? Just being honest guys but I know where I'd rather live and it's not even close!
2.) 25 Apr 2022 13:04:48
Ha, I don't believe that for a second.
{Ed001's Note - actually he loves it in Liverpool, he is always out and about round town with his missus and kids.}
3.) 25 Apr 2022 16:50:33
I don't live in Liverpool but am always blown away how nice the city is when coming for games (stayed over a couple times as well) .
Would 200% live there.
4.) 25 Apr 2022 17:52:02
Liverpool is a great City there’s only one thing that let's the city down. They normally wear blue and rhymes with hitters. If it weren’t for that lot Liverpool would be paradise on earth.
5.) 25 Apr 2022 20:43:18
My daughter goes to the same school as his kids and you see a lot of footballers stick around and it's good for the kids / family. Plus he does seem happy here. Lovely guy btw and one of the few approachable players.
6.) 26 Apr 2022 02:09:36
I think he lives in Formby doesn’t he Mike? I saw him there once anyway but he could have been visiting his mate Firmino who lives in a nice house near the beach.
7.) 26 Apr 2022 08:17:19
I can’t wait to come to the city I stay overnight every time I come to the match.
My daughter is at uni there she absolutely love the city and she does not drink so it’s not just because she is young and there is good night life.
I all ways find the people very friendly.
8.) 26 Apr 2022 09:59:30
Jan Molby still lives near me. I think he took a liking to the Tavern Club in New Brighton, which is why he stayed.
9.) 26 Apr 2022 10:59:09
Stoneage, I don't think he lives in Formby as the school is in Cheshire and he's there quite a lot. Seems to be mostly the Brazilians who live that way. Thiago is arguably Brazilian too ofc but he seems to have followed the majority of other players.
10.) 26 Apr 2022 19:10:59
I’ve seen some insta pictures of him at Mere Brow and the Pumpkin Farm n’r Burscough last year, I’m sitting there thinking I only live 2 miles away he’s been to more local attractions than me 🤣.
It’s a nice area around there to be fair and I guess as long as schools are good and you find a good home (Guessing Formby) then the 3 days of sunshine a year is just bonus 🤣.
11.) 26 Apr 2022 19:44:17
Babity Rabitty and Mftonjes, cos you don’t think Liverpool is a great spot to settle in for the long term doesn’t mean others think the same as as you do. Just saying.
30 Jun 2025 15:56:24
Zed I see that Villa are now contemplating selling their womens team to their owners. What say LFC sell Anfield to FSG for 1 billion pounds and in return LFc pay a peppercorn rent of say 10k a year. Problem solved. ?.
14 Jun 2025 18:30:21
Fat wallet it was known some time ago that Trent was learning Spanish. Hardly on the sly.
12 Feb 2025 16:01:59
Why would you not have any confidence in Hughes/ club not pulling it off. LFC are considered one of the best teams in Europe and a few days ago fans on here were worried about meeting Bournemouth a team Hughes was instrumental in assembling.
11 Jul 2022 22:00:01
Perhaps they watched the wrong Neco. ?.
03 Jan 2022 20:21:59
Is it just me but there seems to be so many experts on here regarding the finances of LFC and FSG. Not so long ago we bought VVD and AB for world record prices, who'd have thought and LFC are extending the Anfield Rd stand, which will have to be paid in stage payments. Not a sign of penury. Okay C.V. hit hard but no fan knows at this stage what the Nike deal is realising. Have the fans been buying kits for the family with their spare cash because they couldn't go to pubs etc.
VVVV some of your posts make me want to slit my throat, they are so depressing. You state as facts, that only a senior member of the organisation would know!

Diaz is twenty eight and when h8s contract expires will be thirty. At that age there is a great chance he will of lost some of his speed which is what he depends on to beat his man. Maybe the powers that be, do not believe that he has the acumen to adapt his play in the same way as Salah has.
{Ed077's Note - you make it sound like Diaz is a speed merchant, which he isn't.
06 Jul 2025 16:28:02
ASB, Like Diego, Diaz also recently got married so has probably been on his honeymoon. In view of the funeral being only just over 48 hours of the accident he could perhaps not be able to make it like Allison. How do you know what he has been up to to say he has been "dancing and having fun".
27 Jun 2025 15:39:02
But said dressing room camaraderie is why Tsimikas wants to stay. ?.
21 Jun 2025 18:01:26
Silly monkey then he is a virgin to boot! ?.
20 Jun 2025 15:26:14
What if Konate decides that he doesn't want a transfer as his right?
