If he wants to play for us, he’ll push Southampton to get a deal sorted with us.
If he wants to go to Chelsea, good luck to the kid. He’ll have a new manager by Christmas and they’ll have bought someone else to play his position by the end of next summer whilst he’s sent out on loan to some middling club on the continent.
Reality is, it all seems very convenient. Chelsea want Brighton to do a deal for Caicedo. Southampton want to sort Lavia’s future out one way or another. Even the Guardian article is just an updated version of the piece they published the day before with a couple lines added.
Possibly. I do wonder though, if Klopp is taking more responsibility, whether that has an impact on making bigger bids as he may be hesitating on pulling the trigger - Jorg may not be independent enough to push him to do it.
At the start of the summer there was a collective ejaculating over Thuram and Kone…with a bit left for Gravenberch
The pages of that magazine are stuck together…
I very much doubt we are refusing to pay £50m because we only have £46m left in the war-chest. Transfers simply don’t work like that.
It might be that if we can find a better, yet more expensive player, at a club who will accept less money up front and a payment structure that is more acceptable, then it’s something we might be willing to do.
I’m not suggesting we dont have the money ,the opposite in fact.We have the money so if we don’t get this lad in we’ll move onto someone else on our list
And how many were we genuinely in for? Don’t even think Kessie got any link remotely plausible. Barella was a desire on here and I haven’t seen anything on Adams.
Considering we’ve had 60 players linked this summer in CM a whole load are bollocks.
If you want to unsettle a fan base and team before a big game you bid just below the asking price for a player the other team have painstakingly been working on.
