One caveat that Edwards seems to have omitted is after Liverpool’s bid of £110m was rejected, they have received almost £50m from PIF-owned Al-Hilal for Nunez. This *could* bridge the valuation gap.
However, if we’re lacking in the striker department as the window closes, that could scupper things…

…I don’t recall him ever talking down another club like that nor talking us up as the pinnacle of footballing desirability (we’re clearly not after this summer 😬!).
Like you say, each to their own but I didn’t like it - and I wouldn’t if Eddie had said it, so it’s not a dig at Liverpool.

Yeah, thanks. Just wish Arne had chosen his words more wisely there because it had him sounding like the Manchester Reds (sorry) in terms of arrogance; dissing Feyenoord whilst claiming Liverpool are all that.
Nowt wrong with excellence and standards - Eddie talks about them all the time - but…

So did Michael Owen and Steve McManaman. Both moved to Real Madrid too.

No club above Liverpool? Except Real Madrid. Ask TAA. And Michael Owen. And also Steve McManaman 👍

I think he’ll be gone before the window closes but only for the maximum amount because a) they need him, b) they’ve been given £50m for Nunez by a PIF-owned club AFTER they bid £110m and c) he’s got a rotten unprofessional attitude and we don’t need that
Plus, he only goes if we have replacement(s)

I mean, you could sum this whole episode up as inept based on that.
Great that we’ve got him (TBC 🤞) but ridiculous it wasn’t done sooner so Eddie could familiarise him with our patterns of play etc.

As an aside, why didn’t we get this deal concluded earlier?! He’s been available all bloody summer, and at that price!
He could’ve had a full pre-season with us…

Has he been pictured officially in the shirt yet? If not, I’m not breaking out the champagne…
In the shirt pic or it’s not actually confirmed.

Did exactly that with one bellend who started off with a tirade about “blood money” then wanted to hurl abuse over me pointing out that they’d just accepted a pile of “blood money” for Nunez. I asked if they were giving that to charity. False equivalence, apparently…🤷♂️
Whopper! 🤣

Naturally had one Liverpool whopper say it was false equivalency to compare the two; our Saudi owner and them giving Liverpool excessive money for their cast-offs - which is something we cannot do (ASM).
Convenient, eh?

They’re banking on democrats not being as conniving and shameless as they are…
On this issue, they should match them and more.

Not putting in a transfer request conveniently means he won’t miss out on any wedge he’s contractually due.
He might do yet if he’s desperate enough…

Our Saudi overlords have just given them £50m for Nunez AFTER their initial £110m bid so anything less than the full whack is gross incompetence…

Just had one of them have a dig about wasting our “blood money” in reference to Isak potentially sitting on his arse and moping around this season… right after his club just banked a ton of “blood money” for Nunez.
Zero awareness…🤣

Or they 100% believe Trump’s numbers when he pulls out these boards in the Oval Office
It’s OK to be angry at your lot but believing a proven con man and liar, who’s happy to spin whatever lie you want to hear to get what he wants, is just delusional and dangerous
