we should be quite firm. absolutely no need to do anything else bar what our friends in other clubs like spurs or dortmund do which is say the price, say the deadline and then if neither are met the phone doesn't get answered at all. 200 is fair if a child who hardly ever played for man city is 45mil and nunes is 53 mil then a real world class "name" is simply 200mil minimum. this is their market inflation, they have to live with it.
Gravenberch is set and ready to sign. Not at training today, just need the green light from Bayern to head for medical. Intrigued see how he does. From some reports he’s a bit lazy defensively off the ball but then lots of stats and stuff from time at Ajax saying he covers a lot of ground. Never know what going to get from Dutch league but with vvd and gakpo can hopefully settle. Does seem a huge shift in our midfield from fab Hendo Gini who were all limited on ball but work horses. To a much more technical midfield now with szobo mac and gravenberch
it all depends on the energy levels. I never really rated Henderson at 6 as he wanted to run off anywhere he wanted anyway. Szoboszlai is a vast vast improvement imo as he develops over time. macallister v wijnaldum? we will see. I don't seem to rate macca half as highly as some do and klopp seems to. fabinho v endo is no contest. I can already see the lad is honest and will try hard but he is nowhere near. if they all work hard is has to improve over last season where the incumbents were ran out. I just don't feel it's balanced to get back in and win the ball back.
Its an absolute power monarchy where the government owns all the top clubs. They don't know the word "Fair".
£150m with Salah wanting to go (no loyalty payments) would be okay, just very **** timing. Not sure Klopp will be happy though
There's no big mystery. When you said above about the team composition being more attack focused, it reminded me that when Klopp was talking to Endo, he told him that we are a very offensive team. He's shown this by building from the front back.
