You are left with the abiding impression though - why do Liverpool always leave everything until the last second on Jan transfer day? Are they on some sort of retainer from Jim White to try and make the show more exciting?

Always? How many times has that happened compared with how many times it hasn't?

i wouldn't assume anything either way.

my understanding is that LFC are now in a position that we do not want to agree any fee with Fulham at all.

We want this to go to tribunal as the tribunal always favours the low ball bid. We can value him at 2mil and they can say 8 and the tribunal will say ok, 4mil.

As such any deal will be with him alone and this will then go to tribunal but this can only be done in JUNE

FIFA regulations state:

"A club intending to conclude a contract with a professional must inform the player’s current club in writing before entering into negotiations with him.
"A professional shall only be free to conclude a contract with another club if his contract with his present club has expired or is due to expire within six months.
"Any breach of this provision shall be subject to appropriate sanctions."


English leagues players agree a pre-contract with another English club:
The six-month rule when it comes to discussions regarding a future change of scenery relates to teams outside of the country in which the player plies their trade at that time.
Premier League players can, therefore, only enter into talks with interested parties outside of England – with the same regulations applying to those in Germany, Spain, Italy etc.
Any player looking to move from one English team to another as a free agent can only open talks after entering the final month of their previous contract – with that effectively delaying discussions until any given season has come to a close.
That is because domestic transfers are regulated by individual football associations, rather than world governing body FIFA.
The FA in England is eager to ensure that there is no conflict of interest between clubs working under its remit, with mid-season, inter-competition free agent agreements banned as a result.

Don’t agree on the fee. Fulham will say, we agreed a fee of £8m based on everything. Since then he’s had 6 more months of professional football, his value is now £16m to us.

That would be in very poor taste if they do that. The fee was agreed and would have gone ahead if not for an admin error, we sanctioned the Neco deal before the deadline and sold Harry Wilson but deferred the first instalment by a year so it helped the satisfy FFP requirements.

Im only saging that in reponse to Mito saging we’ll go to tribunal and low ball the offer and try get him for £4m.

That would also be bad taste.

Ideal world, both clubs agree the same fee and just get it done now. But if it went to tribunal and lfc tried to get him cheaper, you can’t blame Fulham for then trying to up the price.

It was a clerical error, so I expect it to happen in the summer at roughly the same agreement as was already made.
Unless either side starts to be awkward about it, in which case all future dealings would be jeopardised - which I don't see as being helpful to either.

they can say what they like when it goes to tribunal. they can produce whatever they'd like but that fee represents our compensation to get the deal done then with their permission.

the value thereafter is dependent on the "loss" they've suffered and that is complicated by the lad only being there since 2014.
 
also on the above.

this is down to LFC getting the player for less. why would we pay 8mil for a player out of contract.

the reason to do it was we would be the only ones speaking to him. now we have to go in june and talk to him at which point there could be 3 or 4 clubs in.

why pay 8 when you can pay 4?
