The latest paper waffle has us throwing our hat into the Chiesa bidding war.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic joins Al-Hilal for €40m

It's a shame he never made the move to a big team, would've been interesting to see how he got on.
Desperately badly would be my guess after a career soft pedaling in Italy followed by a peak years move to Saudi Arabia.
Like Veron but way way worse.
Good job The Reid’s no longer around.

RIP in pieces, Reid.Good job The Reid’s no longer around.
Sounding a lot like Henderson to Saudi might be on.
700k a week
Gerrard looking out for his mate
They're already scraping the barrel.
What fucking good is it having a legend of the game if you can't take advantage of it like this. Fucking gwan Stevie
Gerrard’s club taking Fabinho and Henderson off Liverpool’s books but we won’t hear anything about that as doesn’t suit the narrative.
Disgusting.
Brav, hold it together.
Imagine a cheeky Caicedo deal. My knob wouldn't get a moment's respite.
Please take Coutinho too Stevie.
I bet Calvert-Lewin never plays in the Saudi league.

Henderson at 33 and probably big wages is fair enough, even if the fee [£10m] isn't spectacular, but unless Fabinho has actually fully gone to shit and it wasn't some sort of burnout/unknown personal trauma/alliance of useless team mates making him look terrible last season then Liverpool shouldn't really be considering selling him.

What Everton are doing bunging us £15m for him I'll never know, but this would be great.
Also, I don't know if it was in this thread that Baz was worrying about the prospect, but 'Darwin' has taken the vacant 9 shirt at Liverpool. Should probably have had it as an incentive to whoever makes that position theirs this season, but this probably gets a few more shorts sold [and then sold again when he gets shifted on].
They’re obviously going to accept £40m for Fabinho. You paid that for him 4 years ago
It was indeed me, @niko_cee
Look at the state of that. He’s not fit to clean their studs.

Al Hilal in for Mitrovic apparently. Offered £25.5m and we said no straight away. Think it'd have to be double that to make us think about selling.
I can't see Mitrovic going. He'd have gone to a bigger club ages ago if it was about money. He has a cosy life at Fulham.
He apparently wants to go.
Well, hope he like sheep's brain then.
Typical Serbian dish.
Being open to the move is not the same as wanting to go. A lot of people would be open to a move when they have £500k a week waved in their face.
I can't see how we replace him so fingers crossed we just hold out and they don't offer silly money.
The Liverpool dressing room won't recover from losing both Milner & Henderson in the same summer.
Nah, I kind of agree but VVD, Salah and Ali will keep the favela cunts on a leash.
If they're throwing all of this money about they can do better with these offers. If be wanting a combined 80-100m for Henderson and Fabinho.
Manc is right. You don't want to be losing the two big dressing room leaders and especially not the club captain during a season of upheaval, without at least being compensated for it.
80-100 million. You what
That's like 4 Elangas or 1 Antony. Calm it.
I'd have thought we would be a cautionary tale for hoying all the leadership out of the dressing room. Pro footballers (especially those without great English) are basically child-robots.
Yeah I’d rather Thiago was the one on the way out than Henderson just from the leadership viewpoint.
You would assume Klopp thinks Fabinho is broken if he’s willing to let him leave.
Would have to be another two coming in to replace those two though surely?
Trent full into the holding 'number six' roll.
And sign a few more wide forwards.
The Everton fan at work was asking me about him, and I was racking my brains beyond 'when he came in he looked quite composed' (which to be fair he did). I'm not sure what his stand-out attributes are meant to be.
He's quick, be decent in a counter-attacking team I expect.
Jonny Evans to Everton?
I'm a twit
It would be a new and exciting path for Everton if they picked up some United fringe players.
It worked well enough for Hull and Sunderland.
Hopefully they end up on exactly the same path as Sunderland. They’ve been circling the drain like they were for a few years now.
So now they have his head turned, the Saudi club have backed off because they want to get Henderson in on the cheap/free.
I suspect the Fabinho one would happen with minimal fuss. If Lavia is as coveted as reported, then the ~£40m for Fabinho would essentially directly pay for him. Depends if Fabinho wants to go really.
It's a much easier sell for Henderson. He's 33, won everything at club level and has just seen the club buy two players for decent money in his position.
Fabinho is still 29 and I believe his issues last year were just him being fucking knackered. He might want to wait a few more years before taking the payday, but I suppose it depends how much they're offering him.
Honestly thought Fabinho was closer to 35. Christ, his fall off has been tremendous.
At least Henderson had a chance to show the world what his real moral character was. That's worth more than 700k per week.
I mean, it's not, but we can kid ourselves into pretending it is.
I presume he warned his mate 'Stevie G' of this as well, or perhaps just accepts that Stevie is not an ally.Jamie Carragher warns LGBTQ+ 'ally' Jordan Henderson he'll face 'criticism' if he moves to Saudi Arabia - where homosexuality is illegal - for £700,000-a-week
I did enjoy Ferdinand digging Carragher out for continually criticising the whole thing for weeks and then saying absolutely nothing when Gerrard moved.
And I'm not sure what these players are supposed to do other than take the money. Everybody in the establishment (FIFA, our FA, Sir Gareth etc.) said it was ok to go and play in a World Cup in the Middle East, but what, now it's suddenly not ok to play for a club side there?
Before releasing that statement he probably just got off the phone asking if Stevie would get him a job.
I'm a twit
Reminds me in ways of the LIV Golf situation. You might as well be one of the ones getting in and getting more money than you know what to do with, because eventually FIFA is just going to sanction it or have some kind of merger between the leagues.
As has been clear for ages, none of them give anywhere near as much of a shit about LGBTQ+ rights as they would like the general public to believe and Jordan Henderson won't be giving that a second thought in his decision either.
