We’ll just get Jonathan David on a free. A left back from the academy and keep Ramsay as a backup.

Different story, IMO. Lavia isn’t viewed as ready to become our starter, which is the correct decision, while Kerkez is expected to be our starting left back. I think we could have gone harder for him than for Lavia.

We’ll probably be looking to bring in 5 new signings this summer, if Trent goes it could be 6.
Caoimhiin - Mamardashvili
Tsimikas - Kerkez/Robinson
Endo -???/
Gomez-???/Huijsen
Nunez-??? /Alvarez
Wait but spotrac told me he was only on 15p a month or something.

the rumours about his lower wage seem to pop up frequently…IF true…maybe thats harbouring some resentment and an unwillingness to sign an extention…
i understand from the players POV and if he was much more valued and larger sum would hve been offered earlier…
i get the ‘he signed the contract he should honour it blah blah blah’ angle…but if you are the 17th highest paid player at the club, and your contribution far outweighs that status…maybe he was hoping or asking for a bump before now…
would put into perspective constant rumours about Barca wanting him as maybe not barca driven?
Wouldn’t mind us getting someone younger if the contract negotiations do not work out.
The rumours come from an American sports website that has no sourcing for their stated salary, not just on him either but on any player.
They’re primarily baseball/american football and basketball sites who extended their coverage to football but have to guess at salaries as they are not publically reported, unlike in American sports.

L’Equipe:
Liverpool will go head-to-head with Manchester City for the signing of Eliesse Ben Seghir, who is valued by Monaco at €30m.

No this is not how it works.
You need to believe every single piece of bullshit as though it’s gospel, especially if it gets repeated more.
Sweeting was replying to me…i went to the trouble of using the word IF and then hypothesising the case…
dont think the sarcastic pile on after Sweetings well documented response is what the site requires

It’s not targeting you personally. It’s literally the overreaction to every single little “rumour” that comes out.
It’s ridiculous, and it’s quite clear that many of these, despite the popular imagination, are based on absolute nothing.

dunno.
i can 100% buy into a large multi national corporation (even if i love them) lowballing a 20 something kid on his value and running that contract as long as they can…
we can dismiss some gossip straight out of hand, i just thought the Luis Diaz situation had enough beleivability around it to at least discuss it in an hopefully mature manner
again…IF true…plays a major role in the conversation

You also believe in the free market, and Díaz had no shortage of suitors. So by that logic, how believable is it?
I’ve seen both Palmer and Kane rumours being peddled today. It’s going to be a rough summer for click bait.

I think the clickbait is increasingly AI driven. Someone puts a humorous Tweet about us getting Ian Rush out of retirement and “Liverpool linked to Welsh wonder striker” ends up on the 1500 different REACH titles.
It’s depressing. I can remember when the Echo and MEN were serious regional newspapers.

How long before @cynicaloldgit tells us it’s because of neoliberalism?
Because it is.
