RBL sporting director reiterates that they are not selling
I mean, they've been all over the board (not seeling, 70m, 80m, not selling, etc.) - no reason to think its anything other than a negotiating tactic.
Read one report that we submitted a bid a few days ago - if it wasn't high enough I have no doubts suddenly they'll be telling the press "not selling".
I do think, if we don't get him next year, the big boys will swoop in for him when his lower release clause kicks in next year. Bayern or someone will take him. So I'd much rather overspend for him this year, if Klopp is that high on him.

Listening to Anfield Index (Gags Show podcast)
Gags gets some hate due to his voice, laugh, but when he has on some of these stats guys (under pressure show and sometimes his own show), there's usually a lot of good info.
On Karius last year -
He's coming back from a broken hand, which means the muscle/nerves in his hand take time to come back fully (which we didn't give him). Got 10 games - his average shot quality he faced was HARDER than anything Migs faced, and he saved more often than Migs did all season. His kicking was better. Higher up the pitch, which allowed us to play higher.
Yet he still got a lot of pressure/hate due to his performances.

£70 mn for a MF with one year's worth of experience in a top league and RBL are refusing to sell. £70 fricking mn!! Why have a fricking transfer window if clubs get their panties in a wad over doing business? The European transfer market has gotten ridiculous in the last few years. You're only seeing small fishes moving. No major transfers except at massive markups to the uber rich clubs. frick em, I hope we meet those mfers in the UCL and twat the living daylight out of them.
There was a time when Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Romario, Zidane et.al moved from one club to another without clubs getting all pissy about it. As long as they're not going to a direct rival and you're getting paid a fair amount.
It's all a direct result of multi-billionaire owners dumping insane money into the market. Clubs are no longer clubs. They are personal prestige projects.
