Looks like things are moving fairly quickly all round

If that happens that will be £100m spent before the transfer window even opens and at least £40m-£50m probably to be spent on a keeper as well. Assuming a new centre back is also required you will be at £200m very quickly. I just hope Klopp is  spending Barcelona's Couthinho money and not Real Madrid's Salah deposit!

with the likes of Ings, sturridge & clyne all likely to leave there will be a wee bit of cash to come back in as well I suppose

Anyone else miss the days when the best we could hope for in the transfer window was the likes of Joe Cole and Christian Poulsen...
No me neither!

[rory]

If (and hopefully when) we sign a decent keeper would you sell Mignolet or Karius (or both)?

Mignolet and Danny ward. Karius is still a decent keeper. He just made tragic errors. There's a good young lad too called Grabarra. He can be Wards replacement.

True, but how much would you get from the above? £15m each for Ings/Sturridge, possibly £10m for Clyne and teh same for 2 of the three keepers? I would say £50m-£60m for the lot would be a decent return even in todays market. You might get a bit more (i'm thinking if Ibe went for £15m...) but the problem is that other teams know Liverpool want to sell.

Yeah, you probably aren't far away with that, but just saying you could easily pull in 50-60m in players out.

Yeah you are right that it is a decent amount to offset. I'm just slightly concerned as to whether FSG would sanction potentially over £300m of transfer spend in a year (plus the loss of a £30m midfielder in Can for free) on the back of a £145m sale and what they get from the players you mention. This is how I got to the £300m so I am making some assumptions here. We are still being linked with the likes of Lemar/Werner as well which would be another £70m plus (however I dont see either of these happening if we sign Fekir and keep Salah)

VVD £75m
Keita £50m
Fabinho £40m
Fekir £60m
Keeper £50m
Centre BAck £40m

I hope I am wrong and FSG are investing the Champions League run money and next years guaranteed group stage cash but I am just slightly nervous on this.

Any chance lallana will go as well, and one of teh centre backs? matip, lovren or Klavan?

Zidane resigns as Real manager. Quit at the top eh?!

In other news everton are still looking a new manager. Coincidence? Methinks not...

I'd completely forgot about Matip! I think if another is signed one of Matip/Lovren will go. Klavan will probably stay as backup. Llallana is an interesting one. He was outstanding two years ago but barely featured this year  because of injury so its hard to know. I would keep him as i think he does offer something different. He is probably the most creative player and  closest to Couthino still at the club so could potentially do a job as a number 10. Whether its as a starter or as a squad player is debatable. From memory even when Couthino was there it was rare the "Fab Four" all started.

I wouldn't see why Clyne would go. He was a mainstay in the team the season before this and you'd have to think that one of Robertson or TAA will struggle in their second season. Gomez was meant to be an England regular up until his injury and he's just forgotten about too.
I'd be very surprised if Clyne went
