Also have anyone noticed since the cluster fuck on VVD, all the journos including echo have been so quiet?
Echo now basically everyday just post literally the same thing over and over again i.e. "lfc have submitted 30M for Salah and are confident a deal will be conclude soon".
Hopefully LFC have learnt a lesson and properly conducting their business behind closed door.
Back on Salah, Roma's sporting director Monchi have publicly stated that they have received an offer from an English club but they are not budging. He even said that Roma are not a supermarket. And knowing his record as a sporting director, plus ours Michael Edwards is a Noobie , I do not dare to think of the results.
Looks like a tribunal is a certainty if LFC and CFC can't agree on a fee.
Just hope to God the tribunal fee isn't anywhere close to 10M.
It won't be. Burnley asked for 12M but only received 6.5M for Ings who at the time already had tons of senior appearances including numerous PL goals and even has an England cap. Solanke only made 1 senior appearance for Chelsea and didn't even feature for England's senior team. The fact that he won Player of the Tournament for U20 WC won't change a thing because status-wise he is way below Ings when we signed him. I suspect it will be 4-5M max.

unless fa take the current market inflation into consideration. 2 years ago van dijk probably worth 30m max
They are extremely reliable when it comes to Egyptians. They reported Elneny's transfer to Arsenal way ahead of everyone else. So I'm willing to bet the deal is pretty much done now. A deal at €45 million has been struck while €50 million was Roma's asking price, not the widely reported €40 million which makes our initial bid widely off the mark which could well be the reason for the long hold up.

Not trusting any source until the news come from the club itself.
Even if it's true, The FSGout agenda will not go away. 45mil pound, there's still 155mil to go.
