Obvious how well they buy from looking at their squad but how ****ing good are their sales? They got 15m for Jordon Ibe, 19m for Solanke, now 25m for Brewster. Then ****ing billions from Coutinho.

He's been underrated for a long time. Missed a lot of games through injury and Spain didn't always pick him because he didn't play in Spain and their managers were clowns. When he got on the park he was probably the best CM in the world and in this season's CL it wasn't even close.

He was also bang average in the Championship last year.

Coutinho aside, there's an obvious reason why those guys get sold for so much.

true. They're basically running a pump-and-dump on young Brits.

Young English footballer comes up through the ranks at Liverpool, plays a game or two in a cup, a strongly pro-Liverpool media flaps about praising the player, they sell him to some bottom-half Premier League or Championship club for about 10 times what they're worth. Tale as old as time.

United were masters at doing this years ago.

Yeah, He was also exceptional after the restart and was banging them in for fun when Swansea went on that run to reach the playoffs.

I heard even if he goes he'll be loaned back to Brentford for a year.

Would be surprised if there is much in the Raya story. From what I understand, he's pretty highly rated, and he's of an age and ability level where moving somewhere to become an understudy doesn't make a huge amount of sense, even if it involves a move up a division. Imagine it's much more likely Arsenal will sign this young bloke from Dijon, who will also likely be much cheaper.

I mean they got £19m for Solanke and £15m for Ibe.

Nah I disagree. LIke Flibberty said he was better after the restart but he was really underwhelming in every game I saw him play, which was a surprisingly large amount this season. His positioning was especially poor. Will probably turn into a good player with time but just didn't seem like he'd improved at all since I'd last seen him in the u17 World Cup. Has an eye for goal, though.

Just looked her up, interesting job description "lingerie model", does that mean she can't model anything else?
I vaguely approve.

Some of these fees for foreign players seem very cheap, a sign Covid financial pressure hitting across europe?
