Liverpool FC - Talk /Gossip/Rumours 25/25

What's he worth a week?

Not 220K anyway. Probably 170K a week at most? Up until recent seasons he missed a good few games through injury so for that sort of money you need to be a top player and be available most weeks.

He does have some involvement because he fly to Boston with Hughes last summer for a meeting to get the authorization to complete the signing of Wirtz.

He's worth the 200k a week imo , What's it going to cost to buy a starting CB , another 50m at least and then wages as well. This is a shambles.

it’s been pretty obvious for many many months the players are not playing for the manager. Any amount of pages of bilge on here won’t change that fact

I think he is worth that under the circumstances. He would have been by far our most experienced CB at the club next summer when Virgil leaves. We are seasons away from challenging for anything now imo. Might as well just get used to mediocrity cos we have alot of it coming our way. 😒

I think it’s not an outlandish salary for an experienced starting centre half. As others have said it will cost more to replace him.

I thought at the time that Slot not doing the lap of honour with the players was a huge tell. I really think his days are numbered.

Is not head of football operationsl for FSG directly now? With Richard Hughes working directly for Liverpool? I'd imagine 95% of comings and goings at Liverpool is under Hughes watch.

The Konate situation is odd. He hasn't been great this season and does have a mistake in him most games but he's a very good player. He's also a big personality in the squad. While I don't think him leaving is directly attributed to Slot there's definitely a theme here. Throw in the rumours that Alisson was also looking to move earlier in the session and you've the majority of the title winning team gone. Something rotten in the state of anfield stuff again.

Assuming we lose chiesa, Jones and Elliot that's some serious churn at the club this summer. How much can we even spend to build the squad back up?

FSG are really putting all their eggs in the Slot basket it seems - the transfers this summer will tell a lot. To my mind we need a mature CB (with Leoni & jacques coming through) another FB (Bradley too injury prone and jury is out on frimpong) ideally one who can play both sides, an actual number 6, and at least one fast winger.

It's going to take a lot to put this squad right and let's hope Slot shows more tactical nuance next season that he has this season.

Konate has been very good over his broader pool career so Id want to keep as well.

If someone is offering 50% more than fair enough but hopefully we aren't penny pinching.

Id say it'll turn out to be more than he wants PSG ,Barca or Real.

I think whoever we buy won’t necessarily be a Slot focused purchase. I mean, if a new manager comes in we need wingers and a DM, if Slot stays we need wingers and a DM

I could see us going for Summerville, Minteh and Diomande. Those would be good for any manager

Leoni will cost 167K a week including signing fee for the next 4 years

We have no idea if he is any good

Jacquet will cost over 300K a week including signing fee

Konate will start for the favourites to win the world cup ahead of Jacquet this summer

Bonkers to say he is not worth 220K a week
