Just waiting for the “Here we go”.

That’s all I’ve got. Barcola is there or there about now. Mbaye further but above 50% now. DM no clue. Ramsey has been good

While the ownership skipfire is burning it’s hopeful Barcola 1st and Mbaye 2nd will be done this week, Jones is shuffling to the door, Iraola has a DM in mind, Ramsey has impressed Andoni and fitness is the main priority for coaches. Nothing new hear but there you go.

I suppose you skipped over the “all b*****ds” comment. Same as when I protested against H&G, I hate that Standard Chartered are our sponsors and I hate the 1892 own part of our club but it’s the reality and this club is my religion, I won’t let the ownership dictate my relationship with it.

RedBird & Cardinale are neck deep in joint investments with Man City owners for over 25 years, who in turn are funded by oil and environmental destruction of the planet. Like the Mittal and Bezos businesses. All b*****ds. I am not saying anyone in this situation is good but there is a call coming from inside the house.

They stand next to Trump as much as Bezos Tbf

I understand why people are uncomfortable with Bezos being a billionaire, especially those who think wealth on that scale should be taxed much more heavily. What I find a bit strange is that FSG are often spoken about as the people who saved the club, when they're ultimately part of the same billionaire and millionaire class. FSG are a group of incredibly wealthy investors who have done very well out of the financial system and, as a result, move in the same circles as some of the most powerful, amoral and murderous people in the world. Regretfully, that's just the reality of modern football ownership. I don't particularly like that side of the game, but it doesn't change how I feel about Liverpool. Owners come and go, billionaires come and go, but the club means more than any of them. That's something they can never take away.

Araujo is a monster. Fit, fast and appears ready to go.

Sharp, progressive passing has been missing for large parts of pre-season and, if we're honest, much of last season too. Szoboszlai and Gravenberch have huge ceilings as No.8s, but neither is naturally a tempo-setting 6s, who constantly receives, scans and moves the ball quickly. That's why Wharton could be an attractive option. He could help close the gap between defence and midfield and improve Liverpool's build-up without taking either player out of the team. Liverpool don't need more midfielders. They need different midfielders.

Isn’t third kit being released today? I haven’t seen it anywhere.

90% whole deal but PSG haven’t moved on £££. Personal terms done and we have moved up to £135m all in but they want a different structure and more £££.

His name is Henry!!! (Bad movie joke, sorry). I don’t have X so I don’t know what the ITKs are saying but for godsake DO NOT embed a link.

I am led to believe we are going to flash our knickers at Barcola-alternatives because PSG aren’t really negotiating, they are stubborn on their valuation.

I’d rather MacAllister goes for a higher fee than Jones for €35m but I doubt love a scouser in our team.

It's an asset valuation strategy. If a company under the same ownership pays Liverpool above market rates for TV rights, that revenue increases Liverpool's reported earnings. Higher earnings can support a higher club valuation, making the owners' stake more valuable and potentially giving them better access to financing, investors, or refinancing opportunities. The value isn't created out of thin air, but it can be shifted within the ownership group toward the asset they most want to appreciate.

We could end up in world where each club negotiates the sale of their tv rights to willing buyers at a price the demand dictates. Liverpool and its worldwide appeal will be demanding the very highest of prices with Amazon being in “prime” position but I doubt Amazon will pay the same or even buy the rights to Coventry, Hull or Everton.

Heard this is the first step in full ownership (Friendly takeover in two years of all is well) and it’s not a profit based purchase from football but a segue into private tv rights and death knell of ffp/psr Consortium is the appearance of multi-investor ownership but make no mistake Bhatia is front while majority of money is Bezos.

Fitness gossip - all defenders bar Bradley will be fit by 30 August

Macca with his new hair. I wonder what the medical advice is?

I think I mentioned him 18 months or so ago (but Earl looks like he was on him first) and as for rep!? rep smep, I am just here for the sense of community and waffle.

Diomande is someone we watched closely last preseason and into the season. He’s a very Konate-like player which led us to move on because we thought Ibou was staying. It wouldn’t surprise me Barcola is 90% done. I’ve heard (same as before) £135m. £15-20m of that fee is add ons and the dispute is about how they are achieved.

Spence is available and is a Liverpool fan *pinch of salt. We want at least two wingers and one defender. If player leave that’s when we will replace. I don’t know where the Elliot stuff has come from.

He’s a competitive little f***er.

I have said it before that Vinícius won’t be moving but it’s a highlight of a bonkers market where proven is valued lower than potential.

FWIW Real want less for Vinícius jr than PSG want for Barcola. Very, very tentative Bruno enquiries made at £75m. Newcastle won’t deal with us and explains Gordon. Markets is in chaos.
