Debunking Hugo Ekitike's "poor finishing" 🧵 Thread.

Convenient how they show clips now Trent has left

Based on Liverpool's net + PSR position, and assuming profit for 24/25 (expected) then using the example of a £20m profit, plus allowable deductions and £105m PSR limit, LFC could still lose more than £200m in 25/26 and be PSR compliant after Isak, Wirtz, Kerkez, Frimpong and GM.

If nothing else, the fact Liverpool can drop £170million on new players, then still bid/spend a further £120m-plus, in a summer *after* winning the league - with no recent equity injections or any PSR shenanigans - should serve as huge vindication of how FSG have managed finances

Yeah, we aren’t winning the title this season.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire: "Liverpool are a super smart football club. "They're in an incredibly strong PSR position. Out of the traditional big six clubs, they've spent the least in this three-year cycle - only £325m - and that includes their signing of Wirtz."

It’s not savings, it’s been invested in other areas. Two Anfield redevelopments and a new state-of-the-art training complex. Now complete, Anfield’s bringing in more revenue and overall income is rising. Liverpool are in a fantastic position, very few clubs can compete.

€82 million 😬

Transfers for Elliott, Morton and Doak are ramping up, with expected income around £80–85m. We're essentially swapping the three for Wirtz. #LFC

Newcastle going from “not for sale” to a price tag is a game changer. £150m? If LFC sell Diaz, Nunez, Elliott, Morton, Doak, Tsimikas, Trent, Kelleher & Quansah for a expected ~£275m (mostly pure profit), LFC can afford £150m Isak, £40m Guehi + £80m Rodrygo 👀 #LFC #Isak

Isak joined Newcastle for 63M in 2022 from Real Sociedad having got 6 goals and 2 assists in 32 league games the season before he left. And it was worth it.

Liverpool have made an offer of £69m plus add-ons for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike 💰

🚨| Sky Sports News: BREAKING: Liverpool will pay a fixed fee of £69m for Hugo Ekitike.

Liverpool are spending a fixed fee of £240m on Frimpong, Kerkez, Wirtz and Ekitiké. Four great young players who are already performing at a high level and have massive potential. £60m each, an absolute bargain! #LFC #Ekitiké

Liverpool are currently contesting a behind-closed-doors friendly with Stoke City at the AXA. They lead 4-0 at half-time thanks to a Darwin Nunez hat-trick and Rio Ngumoha goal. Florian Wirtz is taking part.

Liverpool's 'summer of madness' is delighting its fans in equal proportion to upsetting rival supporters. Once the Ekitike deal is concluded, transfer fee outlay will hit £260m- with further expensive incomings expected. This thread explains how the club is financing it.

❌ Alexander Isak has NOT travelled with Newcastle to Singapore 🇸🇪 Striker still nursing minor thigh injury #nufc

Minor thigh injury that doesn't show on scans and still allows him to train individually but is serious enough to rule him out of their pre-season tour?

Whatever happens, this feels like a bit of payback for what Newcast.. sorry, I mean PIF, did back in 2023, when they waited all summer until just days before Newcastle hosted Liverpool to create turmoil in the LFC camp by bidding for Salah. Sit down, know your place. #Isak #LFC
