All these fees nowadays are mad, quite depressing really feels like we will never get to that level again
I'd happily stay out of that circus if it just meant a bit more success and a cup run out of this league. It's fun for kids to see the stars, but realistically who wants to see there club get battered every week?. My Luton fan mates are happy as they've never been in that league before, but even they know they have zero hope, itl be miserable by January.
Sunderland have agreed to take Chelsea striker Mason Burstow on loan. The 20 year-old is at Sunderland’s training ground.
Burstow was on the bench for Chelsea’s opening Premier League game of the season against Liverpool and was a used substitute in the next two league matches against West Ham and Luton Town.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino then started Burstow on Wednesday night against Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup. His signing is a coup for Sunderland, who agreed to sell centre-forward Ross Stewart to Southampton on Thursday for an initial £8million.
Liverpool have rejected a £150m bid from Saudis for Mo Salah
They are stupid for not accepting that, £150m for a 31 year old is insane money.
He is presumably one of, if not, the highest paid player on their books and they could probably get two up and coming stars for the money they pay him. It's not like they are short of alternatives with Gakpo, Diaz, Nunes and Jota even without a last minute/January purchase or have to worry about rotation to the same extent as those teams that are in the CL.

Selling Ross Stewart for £8m and replacing him with a 20 year old loan player won't go down well

He's also levels above those players though, Liverpool would really struggle without him at this moment in time
Maatsen to Burnley has seemingly collapsed because he wants to stay at Chelsea
That's a blow for Burnley surely given how well he did for them last year. Also pretty damning for Cucurella that Maatsen thinks he's higher up the pecking order

Possibly so but £150m (with a £116m profit for a 31 year old) buys Liverpool at least someone equally as good and a hell of a lot younger too. They are in a state of transition and are re-building at the moment - they won't beat City to the PL title (defence isn't good enough and the midfielders hardly know each other) and aren't in the CL so the one aim has to be to secure a CL place. Losing Salah doesn't, necessarily, prevent them from securing that given that the likes of United, Spurs and Chelsea all have their differing issues to resolve and United, along with Arsenal and Newcastle have the distraction of Tues/Wed football whereas the Thursday games Liverpool will be playing surely won't be taken as seriously?

If this had happened a month ago, they might have taken the money
Liverpool haven't dismissed it out of hand - Al-Itihad may go to £200m and are prepared to offer Salah up to £80m a year. Every player has his price be that the price of the selling club or the player himself. If Salah wants to go and isn't sold then Liverpool run the risk that his form will drop off as a result of him having his head turned so he's then not worth as much even in January.

Bit of a strange one as there's a lot of interest in JCH as well, wonder what Peterborough are up to
Easy to say, but bet Chelsea wish they'd bitten Bayern's hand off a few years ago now.
