Perfectly chilled over this too.
After previous darker periods, it’s so freaking great to be in the position now to just shrug shoulders when hearing such a story.

It is a clumsy attempt at annoying Liverpool by Bayern it looks like sour grapes over the Wirtz transfer.

They can have Nat Phillips. If they pay the asking price.

This is the same ill thought fucking nonsense we have every time one of our players is wanted.
Unrealistic shite…Started with Owen, who was out of contract. We got lucky with Ibe etcwhere we got unrealistic money…but by in large the nonsense spouted about value of our players is in the realms of schoolboy stuff.
Musiala is worth £150 million?
Gakpo would go for about £80 million…
Do the maths.
And before the “oh its a joke” shite comes out…its fucking annoying.
You post some shite lad, but this is off the scale.
@Sithbare
Are you keen for Gakpo to go?
Why value someone who produced his figures in a title season?
More abject fucking nonsense.

Completely agree. Why would we consider selling one of the mainstays of our title winning team?
And where on earth would we find a player who could match his output?
And, haven’t we got enough on our plate this summer?
It’s stupidity.

Think Saudi’s interest on Nunez will start cropping up soon. Al Hilal has offered United 100 million for Bruno and his wages are like 70 million a year!! They might want Nunez and Jota for their league. Not sure whether they will be interested to move there.
But if he is NOT integral, then you should consider a good offer if someone more integral is available and attainable.
Not saying it is, but those saying it is stupid to think about an offer for Gakpo really need to find out what Slot has in mind.
The guy played in nearly 50 games this year.
I think it’s fair to say Slot has him firmly in mind to be a pretty key member of this team next season. After Salah, van Dijk and Macca he’s probably about the most secure player in the squad.

Again, for me Gakpo is a very good player and I would not sell.
There is a sum of money somewhere on the scale that would make us consider it. Obviously the more integral the player, the higher the sum would have to be. At a guess, if Bayern offered 100M euros for Gakpo I would imagine that would prompt an internal conversation on our end.
In all likelihood Bayern won’t do that, and we will be quite happy with that, as Gakpo plays a lot and puts up good numbers for us. It looks to me like Bayern are acting like a spoilt child not used to getting their own way, so after missing out on Wirtz they have decided to try to unsettle Gakpo.
It probably won’t amount to anything.

Fair to say based on what? It hasn’t been the first time Slot uses a player extensively and then sold him. We don’t know how he wants the team to evolve.
No point looking up the 23/24 season since it was his last but the season before…
Just to look up a few:
Kökçü, Danilo, Dilrosun… all played 45+ games in 22/23 and were sold.
Sinisterra, Malacia, Senesi, Linssen all played close to 50 games the season before that and were sold.
It isn’t apples to apples because perhaps Feyenoord had more reasons to sell most of them…

I’m not sure it is comparable at all. We’re one of the richest clubs in the world and pay the players accordingly, and coming off probably our best financial year ever. Feyernoord, as successful as they are, are probably reliant on high turnover of players both to generate funds but also to attract players to join their club (in the knowledge that they won’t be denied a move on).

They made nearly 20 signings the summer Slot joined as well. The comparisons between the two situations are pretty meaningless.

Well he could have played Chiesa, Jota or Nunez in any of those games instead of Gakpo but didn’t. I’m surprised there’s any argument about him being a key member of the team Slot will be looking to have involved next season.
Yes, every player has a price. But let’s be honest, our price would be more than Bayern would pay and we’re planning on Gakpo being part of the team next season. Unless he kicks up a fuss, and after this season why would he, he’ll be here next season.

Yeah, Gakpo I expect wouldn’t want to go and Bayern wouldn’t cough enough to sell.
There are a fair few players we can sell before we have to cash in on the first team.
