General discussion / Re: The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread
« on: Today at 02:18:09 AM »Klopp doesn’t buy world class players like Mbappe, instead he transforms already good players into world class players. Mbappe would command a fee of €300m, Liverpool don’t need to spend anything like that on one player.
It’s somewhere between odd and galling to read nonsense like this. He paid world record transfer fees for a goalkeeper and a defender. So he will happily buy the “finished article” when the opportunity is presented.

Mbappe reportedly earns £375-400k a week at PSG, or roughly twice as much as the current highest earner at Liverpool.
Presuming he won’t move for anything less than a trivial pay cut, he would therefore have to utterly decimate the pay structures.
A problem for any club. But for Scouse, where every regular player apart from TAA and Lopez is aged 25+, and therefore in the market for a huge pay demand - the one that sets them up for life - on their next contract offer, this is either financial suicide, or else the destruction of the squad.
VVD and Allison were both world record transfer fees but does that mean they were world class?
Many a fan ridiculed the fee paid for VVD at the time and still to this day argue other players are better.
Allison has one good season at Roma, was his name bandied around as one of the best in the world at this time?
