£18.7 million wages saved, kids out on loan which means loan fees and wages paid, A few seasons ago we were in 3 of the previous 5 Champions League Finals winning one. We won the League, we keep being told how many 'new' sponsors we have and record breaking kit deals. The stadium has been extended and a lot more revenue is coming in from concerts etc. We have the biggest TV deal in world football by being in the EPL, and also have an international MASSIVE fanbase buying merch and paying for LFCTV etc. Stop letting the paid for LFC media and 'independent' fan channels gaslight you into thinking we are skint! FSG, Compete or SELL, end of.
If our new manager wants him, it is the club's responsibility to get him in. You want to give the new manager all reason for success. Especially when you signed him after a legend like Klopp.
With united, arsenal and barca he pretty much made his decision there and then and said no considering he hasn't upto now is promising regardless if he is in the sociedad squad, the fact that sociedad are trying to persuade him to stay aswell and turn on the charm is promising they didnt do that for the other teams
If there's an offer for Salah, then ask him to sign an extension on the clubs terms. If he chooses not to, then take the money and wish him luck. No panic at all.
Those deals are three way deals. Salah has to agree to terms or he can play out his contract. Respect will go a long way here. I am not against selling Salah, but Liverpool could well afford to extend his contract a year or two and transition him to supersub role.
Taking money and unable to spend it, I rather us keep Salah. Use his capacity, try to make a deal with him and then maybe sign a replacement. That will be the smart way to move about that. Knee jerk reactions, especially when we are talking about our top player, isn't the best way to move about jt
i think if they said 100% no to agreeing a fee it would be a here we go, it seems like they’d be open to instalments of payment in some way that’s why it’s taking longer, it’s not like szoboszlai where we had to pay the release clause on the final day
Liverpool is a special club. I am happy with the way we recruit players. Having 5 transfers will not give us the premiership - Liverpool DNA only. I am excited to see Quansah and Elliott this season. YNWA
Alright Craig love the podcasts I've been watching for years when I watched for the first time I thought you were an Irish comedian and you were taking the Mick out of everything football but then I realised you were a big Liverpool fan and brilliant at what you do I always listen to your podcasts the next day in work
I Sometimes find Craig's takes on FSG are a little extreme (which is not to say that I'm an FSG apologist). That said his take on the current situation with regard to the potential Zubimendi transfer is spot on.
Just remember, if Zubimendi decides to stay, this has nothing to do with FSG as it’s not about the money. I guess we will know one way or another over the next day or two.
Do you remember Craig when we nearly lost our beloved captain Stevie G to Chelsea and Stevie G had agreed to sign for Chelsea until Ricky Parry made a very late night offensive and the news broke around 8.30am that Stevie G changed his mind this is what this deal feels like 😢 but could the outcome be the same? You are right Real Sociedad are doing the charm offensive just like we did for Stevie G and luckily he said. Yet I truly hope and pray we sign Zubimendi and this is all I have to say. He loves his club but has his hero Xavier Alonzo put a word in his ears about Liverpool? Well we will just have to wait and see. YNWA
He may be great... but having just seen a detailed stats breakdown for him and others in that position, and it's not overwhelming. Comes out on a par with Endo.
Then he should stay, is he the only DM. I don't know why people are giving themselves headache on this transfer. Caicedo and lavia rejected Liverpool and Liverpool still did well.
Just read official announcement on Empire of the Kop: Sociedad have confirmed that Zubimendi is leaving the club, and is joining Liverpool. So, that's a definite this afternoon, most have just been after 2 PM when the news broke.
Getting nervous about Zubimendi,atleast we willing to pay release clause,which I'm pleasantly surprised about with fsg being cheap. Come to our great club Zubimendi. Do it quick please,then left sided centre back please. YNWA
Should of just activated the release clause by paying it. 52m isn’t much considering we have spent sweet FA. All this paying in installments they just want money upfront Now we have left ourselves open for another team to come in. It’s over 24 hours should be discussing contract with him now
what's with the narrative that Zubimendi rejected Arsenal and United this summer? United had him on a shortlist of 6 midfielders and there hasn't been any reports that United have contacted him, his representitives or Sociedad. Arsenal were interested last summer. No approach this summer.
After the caicedo/ lavia drama last season I've got no confidence in this deal until I see zubimendi in a liverpool shirt I just hope we don't put all our eggs in one basket like we did last time
"we are an absolute joke, telling all the media outlets were gonna get zubimendi, & now he's staying at sociedad 😢 release clause means nothing, he's a homesick boy 😮
With the Zubimendi situation, tbh any club would try all they can to keep their star player. Pretty sure Lfc are also trying to sell the benefits of the move. Let the guy decide, if he moves, he moves, if not then he doesn't. It will be what it is.
Why have Liverpool not offered the money same reason as Caicedio I am following Liverpool 40 years and we never let deals drag on e.g Salah MacAllister Torres DOM deals are just announced would that be the same faith Craig you had last Season
Morten Huljmand of sporting is a better option. Combative chips in with goals. Suitable for the premier league. Zubimendi will be like Gerrard. Never to leave the club he grew up with.
Well I thought last year was worse, we lost our 2 transfer targets to Chelsea but it will be much worser if we lose zubimendi to a bloody powerpoint presentation
I think we should all just be quiet about this like the club would like to and let this be done the Liverpool way as always. All this speculation might be drawing unwanted attention.
Michael Edwards wouldn't of taken the job if he thought there was no monies to spend like cause at end of day hese gonna look pish at his job nah I believe in I like the way we do business in certain ways ways ❤
unfortunately there is, and it’s himself. boyhood basque socieded fan. rejected arsenal to stay not too long ago. sociedad are supposedly trying to convince him to stay again. not to mention if Liverpool activate the release clause it would have to be paid in 1 sum. not over the length of his contract and with our cheap owners the chances of that are small.
@@CE65789 cheap owners? Do you actually believe that? Why don’t you look at what actually happens rather rely on what you feel like happens? You’re opinion of FSG is based on fantasy. Entitled ignorance has never been the average Liverpool’s fans main character trait, that’s Arsenal and Man U fans, and it’s embarrassing so many of our fans giving the rest of us that perception.
@@Dude0000give over, i am looking at what happens, it’s august and we are the only team in the top 6 leagues with no signing 🤣. fsg are cheap, we sell to buy and rarely stray from that.
@@CE65789 e have a large squad with many young players. Why buy for the sake and end up like United or Chelsea? You’re too young to remember the Hodgson years, I hope.
This guy is getting lots of interest from big clubs and then cancelling them.. I think he loves the club he spent his childhood at!! What you waiting for ZUBEEEEEE? COME ON DOWN LAD!

I hope it gets done soon. It would be nice if our signing’s could have a little time with the squad before the season starts.

Membership?
Getting nervous mate tbh, I’ve got the Zubies 😬
"sorry mate the deal is off he's staying at sociedad, 😭
More of a BOOBIE HAHAHA
Craig I’m loving your positivity around the deal. We’re so scarred from last summer

Sociedad's desperation to keep Zubimendi illustrates how good of a player he is.
Not really they don’t wanna lose Zubimendi and Merino in the same window
@@eaganadams3314 Thanks for letting us know.
please come zubi 🙏🙏
Did you watch him play?
If our new manager wants him, it is the club's responsibility to get him in. You want to give the new manager all reason for success. Especially when you signed him after a legend like Klopp.
His current club is trying to save face with the fans so they can say we tried to keep him but he decided...... its just the game
With united, arsenal and barca he pretty much made his decision there and then and said no considering he hasn't upto now is promising regardless if he is in the sociedad squad, the fact that sociedad are trying to persuade him to stay aswell and turn on the charm is promising they didnt do that for the other teams

Who can replace salah at liverpool
Those deals are three way deals. Salah has to agree to terms or he can play out his contract. Respect will go a long way here. I am not against selling Salah, but Liverpool could well afford to extend his contract a year or two and transition him to supersub role.
I don't mind that, but replacing Salah this late in the window is irresponsible, and not possible. Losing Salah will be irresponsible.
Taking money and unable to spend it, I rather us keep Salah. Use his capacity, try to make a deal with him and then maybe sign a replacement. That will be the smart way to move about that. Knee jerk reactions, especially when we are talking about our top player, isn't the best way to move about jt

Totally agree with you Craig about fsg,they should have got us top number 6 last summer as well as a centre back. YNWA
I just hope our injury list doesn’t get out of hand and derail what could be a title challenge...YNWA ❤
Liverpool is a special club. I am happy with the way we recruit players. Having 5 transfers will not give us the premiership - Liverpool DNA only. I am excited to see Quansah and Elliott this season. YNWA
Call me a pessimist but I fear the deal won’t go through.
Pessimist😂
if we dont see the deal happen within 2 days i dont think we get him liverpool move very fast we dont play long when we identify someone
I don't blame you mate
Pessimist
The FSG effect
Day 49 of commenting "Wher- You know what you already know what I'm gonna say. 😂 Let's get this Zubamendi deal over the line!
Let’s hope we follow through with it I’m in for a day or two of major upset if we don’t 😅
i can’t believe it’s been almost 50 days, i remeber when it was day 1 and i thought oh it won’t last a week 😭😭
@@quandaledingleskibidi me too 😭
Where the money John 😭
Where is the money john
Alright Craig love the podcasts I've been watching for years when I watched for the first time I thought you were an Irish comedian and you were taking the Mick out of everything football but then I realised you were a big Liverpool fan and brilliant at what you do
I always listen to your podcasts the next day in work
I’m saying this now, we are not getting him, I can feel it. We shouldn’t have to convince hime to come
I still think within the next day it's a here we go

He plays in a far worse team than Endo
To be honest I am very nervous. I am hearing his club is doing everything to convince him to stay 😢
Which club wouldn’t
They have to look like they did everything
Why would they have to convince him to stay if he wants to.
Then he should stay, is he the only DM. I don't know why people are giving themselves headache on this transfer. Caicedo and lavia rejected Liverpool and Liverpool still did well.
I’m feeling really excited about the August purge for players Craig👍
I have hope, but Craig you know the pain we all suffered last summer! I’m just doubting everything
Just read official announcement on Empire of the Kop: Sociedad have confirmed that Zubimendi is leaving the club, and is joining Liverpool.

It's not going to happen liverpool ,done this twice last season with players
Yes they did but hopefully they get it done this time. I think 50/50 at the moment
We still need a CB. Where is our matip replacement?!
As long as he says yeah then it's a done deal!! Fingers and toes crossed HERE!!
Where have I heard this before lol. 😢❤❤
Hincapie next
Am not feeling it Craig mate am not feeling it. My search history of martin zubimendi is ridiculous.😅
I hope he comes and then more signings please
I have to say I am worried, zubamendi will stay
Why hasn't he said no to Liverpool straight away like arsenal. Ect. Must b something in it.
Real Sociedad has a policy where they play 90% of their team is local players through the youth system so he’s extremely important to them
Zubi zubi zubi Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya! YES
Really, like I said in the last video, I won’t believe what you say till he signs. The Bellingham saga springs to mind.
AS much as I hate to admit, I'm desperately waiting for this deal to get done. It's huge for us.
Should of just activated the release clause by paying it.
52m isn’t much considering we have spent sweet FA. All this paying in installments they just want money upfront
Now we have left ourselves open for another team to come in. It’s over 24 hours should be discussing contract with him now
Cant believe not made a single signing yet dont know what waiting for.
If he’s so close why is he playing with the team
Maybe, because he is still contracted to his club.
Really want it to prevail Craig but let’s keep our hopes up let’s be optimistic
I'm still not getting my hopes up. We've been in this situation before
what's with the narrative that Zubimendi rejected Arsenal and United this summer? United had him on a shortlist of 6 midfielders and there hasn't been any reports that United have contacted him, his representitives or Sociedad. Arsenal were interested last summer. No approach this summer.

"we are an absolute joke, telling all the media outlets were gonna get zubimendi, & now he's staying at sociedad 😢 release clause means nothing, he's a homesick boy 😮
Liverpool haven't told anybody anything and nothing has been decided either way so your whole comment is pathetic
Pls get Angelo Stiller instead abeg
Why do defensive midfielders have to make it so difficult all the time.
Get Argentinian Alan Varela.I'm sure he has a lot in common with Alexis MacAllister.
Zubimendi doesn't want to leave sociedad, simple as that, he'll not sign ....
With the Zubimendi situation, tbh any club would try all they can to keep their star player. Pretty sure Lfc are also trying to sell the benefits of the move. Let the guy decide, if he moves, he moves, if not then he doesn't. It will be what it is.
Did anybody from his camp like agents or anyone like that say he actually wants to leave???
He'll sign .
Why have Liverpool not offered the money same reason as Caicedio I am following Liverpool 40 years and we never let deals drag on e.g Salah MacAllister Torres DOM deals are just announced would that be the same faith Craig you had last Season
Any chance we go for Alphonso Davies?
We don't get anyone who we talk about. It's normally random
Give us a shout when he's actually signed the contract...
Just looking forward to signing a player 😂🤝
Hope Danns will play regularly under Slot
Any news on that Argentinian LB
As soon as a player gets strongly linked to FSG Liverpool, this channel goes into overdrive.
Yes he coming
Morten Huljmand of sporting is a better option. Combative chips in with goals. Suitable for the premier league. Zubimendi will be like Gerrard. Never to leave the club he grew up with.
Well I thought last year was worse, we lost our 2 transfer targets to Chelsea but it will be much worser if we lose zubimendi to a bloody powerpoint presentation
Cough it up john
It is every Spanish players dream of playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid.Enough said.
i dont feel anywhere near as positive about the outcome but their is certainly other options out there.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this one getting over the line.
Zubi zubi zubi
Why not just pay the release clause then we can negotiate & find out if he's actually interested, this saga may end badly 😢
I’m scared about Zubimendi ngl😢
Yh me too
I’ll still prefer Angelo Stiller imo
Totally understandable after last years mess with Caicedo, but I would say it’s not time to panic
Apparently he’s waiting on Barca. So will need convincing and if not he will stay and move to Barca next year - from a very credible source
Does anyone think that TAA could play salahs position? He could play on the left side too, so he can cut in on his right foot. Food for thought!?
Soon the chase will be for Varela
Until he walks out in a Liverpool shirt I don't believe any of this
Simple why have they not bid then Craig
Nope. We need this guy like crazy.
To me, it's just a strategy Real Sociedad is using to make LFC pay his complete release clause
I think we should all just be quiet about this like the club would like to and let this be done the Liverpool way as always. All this speculation might be drawing unwanted attention.
Cash in on salah
Craigo please bring back the career mode
I really don’t have enough time unfortunately my friend
@@AnfieldAgenda OK thanks for telling me
If Salah doesn't want to sign then he should be sold. Especially if there is interest in him.
