How dare Liverpool, one of the most dominant and financially shrewd teams in Europe over the past seven or so seasons, spend over £80million on a player for the first time in the club's history.
"I remember an incredible photo I have with my daughter, after winning the Champions League, placing a Barça flag on the pitch. I wish I could do the same with PSG. She won't be there physically, but she'll be there spiritually, and that's very important to me." - Luis Enrique
A truly monumental night. After years of pushing for it - blood, sweat, and tears - countless approaches tried, and more downs than ups, the wait is finally over.
Rio Ferdinand will no longer be involved in Champions League coverage.
That deal for Kelleher is decent. Back up keeper with a year left on his contract. Clubs knew he wanted to leave, hard to negotiate from a position of weakness.
Good luck to him.
Liverpool are playing hard ball because they know Wirtz wants to join. Bayer are playing hard ball because they know Wirtz wants to leave.
One team will cave slightly and the deal will get done. No need to overreact or worry. Patience.
Mbuemo to United is a shame. He’s a player that’s been consistent for some time, a player that deserves to be playing in Europe.
However United is still a ‘big club’ and a big name that players will always appreciate.
So we wanted Wirtz. But had Cherki in the background as a back up. Wirtz deal progressed and it meant City desperately swooped in for Cherki.
Tables are turning…
