Have a feeling he will replace Firmino. Very similar player and I think Firmino only has a year left on his deal and I would expect him to run that out.Think they agreed a deal in January however the deal wasn't done in time before the deadline, so they agreed for them to buy him from 01 July.
Ironically I think the reported deal in January would've meant him going back to Fulham on loan, so overall it didn't affect either party that the deal didn't officially go through in January.
It does look like a very cheap fee looking at his potential.
Liverpool's transfer business over these last 5 years or so looks amazing. They genuinely get it right most of the time and rarely have to spend extortionate amounts (compared to others)
Yea agree. I think this could well be Firmino's final season at Liverpool. If they win the CL then it would be a very fitting way for him to depart. He's been instrumental in Liverpool's success these last few seasons. He's basically been the glue that's helped Salah/Mane fill their boots with goals/assists.Have a feeling he will replace Firmino.

Yeah if they get a bid for him then they could be tempted to sell with him only having a year leftYea agree. I think this could well be Firmino's final season at Liverpool.

Big season for Harvey Elliot next season. Either he pushes his way into consistent first team reckoning or he goes out on loan to a premiership club.Think they agreed a deal in January however the deal wasn't done in time before the deadline, so they agreed for them to buy him from 01 July.

Same for Curtis Jones.Big season for Harvey Elliot next season. Either he pushes his way into consistent first team reckoning or he goes out on loan to a premiership club.
I think if a bid came in for Jones they would sell. He's had a few seasons there now amongst the first team to push for a starting place and it isn't working out for him is it? Klopp still would rather play Milner and Henderson when Keita, Fabinho or Thiago aren't fit.Same for Curtis Jones.
Both have been on the fringes for a while now.
I do think Harvey Elliott looks very good whenever I've seen him and he was very unfortunate to suffer that horrible injury otherwise I think he'd have nearly cemented himself in that first 11 alongside Thiago & Fabinho by now.

That's not right. Liverpool have spent £550m since Klopp has arrived. An average of £92m per year. He joined early in the season after they had just spent £130m as well. You must be using net spend. That is giving Klopp the credit for selling another manager's purchases. He hasn't made a huge profit on any player he has brought in and subsequently sold (because they've still got most of them).Liverpool has spent on average around £32m per year since Klopp arrived, £225m in total, Man city have spent £606m in the same period.

Liverpool's spending is unbelievably low at today's prices.

I'm not sure why people assume Liverpool haven't spent big. They don't spend as much as City, Utd or Chelsea but they still spend big. £100m every year is hardly nothing. They have had very little that needs changing in recent years so haven't had to spend big. They have been very good in the transfer market because they buy players that fit their squad but they don't buy many that improve them. They have had a very settled side for 3 or 4 years now. Most purchases have reinforced their bench rather than gone straight into the 1st team.
You are right, that is their net spend.
