Also, whilst we are on this topic, I am not saying I am correct.

If you have more knowledge on this topic than I do, I will concede, I have no choice, as I am not as avid a fan of American sports as some others are.

Main thing really is the money in the US isn't it. Even with fewer fans overall the spending power is vastly different
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it ?

I am not aware of any of that, I am guessing that the Boston Red Sox are only big in the Boston area, unless they are supported nationally around the USA.

The entirety of New England really. Not exactly a small area.

According to the world wide web, the population of New England is just shy of 15M people, so I guess that is a large population base to promote a brand.

Premiership football teams are accessible to the whole world, so I would think that the potential is better for LFC against the Boston red Sox. Also there are 9 professional sports teams in that area, which are all competing for support.

Look, I do not know, I was just trying to think why Fenway sports group would priorities LFC over its other sports brands.

My instinct is, and will still be that there is a bigger potential for the LFC brand.

🚨 Florian Wirtz expected to arrive in UK later this week - current plan for medical Friday before completing transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool. Fee £100m guaranteed + up to £16m add-ons to #Bayer04. Proposed 5yr contract with #LFC

Sky are reporting this as well now, and we are one step closer to signing Kerkez as Bournemouth have just announced the signing of Truffert.

In that case we should withdraw our bid for Kerkez and go for this Truffert lad instead.

Do you reckon ?

This might be caption of Scotland stuff but..

I didn't realise that Trents brothers were Robbo's agent

They are also agents for Nat Phillips and deserve a knighthood for getting him on 60k a week.

Yeah there's rumours he's trying to sort out a contract termination for Robbo and a free transfer to Atletico

He is also Henderson's agent if I remember right

He's really not a fan of us getting transfer fees is he.

I'm fine with Robbo going and I suspect the club wouldn't ask a huge amount for him, but releasing him is taking the p*ss surely.

Kerkez deal imminent apparently

I assume Robbo leaving means we keep Tsimikas?

Nah time to sell Tsimikas and then maybe look at Hato who can cover CB too. If Robbo leaves.

Kerkez and his dad doing some interview in Hungary this evening where they basically confirm he’s moving to Liverpool.

Fixtures are released tomorrow lads, what's the odds of another away day opening game of the season ?

The last home game we had for the opening day was Norwich a few years back.

We always seem to be away, and to a promoted side.

I know nothing about Fofana at all but that looks like nonsense to me.

He’s tiny, has bang average numbers and we have Ngumoha.

I do wonder if we’re going to go a bit left field for a striker though.

Xavi Simons has told RB Leipzig that he wishes to leave this summer. Leipzig are determined to resist offers below €70m.

[@TheAthleticFC]



I like Simons a lot. My kind of player, but with us getting Wirtz I’d say it’s extremely unlikely. I’d swap him for Chuesa in a heartbeat though, but that’s obvious.

The rumour that got me really excited was Barcola. He’d be perfect for us, but I suspect Slot wants something more physical at 9

Sunderland away for us on opening day is the most predictable fixture.

Am I imaging that we always get a newly promoted team away in our first game? Kinda seems that way.

That’ll be a tough trip, crowd will be bonkers.

Yeah every year basically, seem to remember us playing Sunderland a few times on opening day before, and they newly promoted, it just seems so obvious.

We’ve had Leeds a few times too when they come up.
I think fixtures are out tomorrow.

Also expecting Chelsea v United on opening weekend. They like a big game on opening weekend but the previous years top 6 never play each other for some reason.

I’ve seen a set of leaked fixtures that says Brighton (a), then Forest (h) and Brentford (a)

Looks like Chelsea want him too?

Very talented dribbler.
