It was from Paul Joyce
I thought the discussion was a rather simplistic take, that if players arenāt so desirable for us any more, just show them the door, as though thatās all there is to it.
Itās not a big deal. We are just talking about both sides of the same issue.
Weāve no evidence of solid offers for said players, and weāve no evidence of any efforts on the part of the club to move them on.
Still, thinking about the likes of Keita and Ox, it is very likely they will not have a better gig than Liverpool in the remainder of their careers, so itās understandable if they chose to sit tight.

According to Google translate, Ā£50 million transfer to Liverpool and 5 year contract. Which all seems reasonable at todayās prices.

According to COG translate (Iāve got basic Spanish), the clubs want the deal completed before the transfer window opens next month, too.

I think you missed something out there.
A lot more reasonable than the Ā£70m plus that was being talked off yesterday but still seems a lot.
Iām still at a bit of a loss to work out what type of player he even is. Admittedly I donāt watch as much football as I once did but heās not really been a name Iāve heard much of until after the world cup.
Would love any more informed types to give a summary because I see someone who does most things well but doesnāt really stand out in any particular area. Heās obviously not a DM, heās not a Thiago type or a number 10. So what makes him worth upwards up Ā£50m?
I would feel we put one over Brighton if he comes at that price. Would have think he is in the 70-80 range.
He does a bit of everything and I think that is sometimes easy to interpret as a jack of all trades master of none situation, but I think with him its an illustration of how, at least on the ball, he really is strong in all areas. I think the only role in any of our midfield sets ups he wouldnāt fit into is the single pivot, but whereever he plays what he will bring is energy, intelligent movement, control of the ball and intelligent passing.
The biggest surprise about his career trajectory is not that heās going to a side like Liverpool so quickly after moving to Brighton, but a player who was already on the radar ended up at Brighton in the first place. I am very happy to see the strength of the links to us growing which is at least in part because I think he is the player who would bring a lot of the pieces together at Utd and would scare me to see him going there.

Pure speculation
