the issue is no fee can now be judged as we may be in a massive bloody money bubble that will burst or fees could double again I think we will feel there's resale value here it's up to his attitude now.
He was very good and is still very young. We have a very young midfield now, but mad we haven't signed a defender
disagree BM didn't rate him so were in no position to push up the price . Worryingly imo this looks like it was a deal we knew we could be done and when we couldn't get the players we actually wanted bought him to bulk out the squad /placate the fan base . I'd rather have got Pavard for £30m tbh or if it must be a midfielder why not Arambhat (sp)
We're entering desperation territory now. Anyone who signs tomorrow is not going to be good and is going to be overpriced. I'm sure it has happened... but when was the last time we signed someone decent on deadline day?
If anyone can get him there, Klopp can. Tbh, I don't see it being Gravenberch, AMC and Zobo as the midfield trio at any point. Think those three, plus Jones and Elliott will be battling it out for the two B2B spots. Endo and Bajcetic will fight for the DM position with AMC and to fill in occasionally too
it's not far off what Maddison went for and more than JWP did and they are PL proven plus . My point has nothing to do with his talent more the lack of interest in him from the selling club and i see no evidence of a bidding war .
let's look at this form the other side. foreign 1. alisson 2. Adrian 3. konate 4. matip 5. vvd 6. Robertson 7. tsimikas 8. endo 9. thiago 10. gravenberch 11. macallister 12. Szoboszlai 13. salah 14. diaz 15. jota 16. gakpo 17. nunez. home grown 1. kelleher 2. gomez 3. trent 4. jones uefa b listers 1. bajcetic 2. Elliott. Premier league b lister 1. doak we have some issues to resolve there. First as it now stands doak won't be playing in europa unless Adrian is not in squad. second we are looking very light on home grown now. third we now seem over loaded with young no 8s and for the left side as well. if we are going to buy a cb to replace matip in a year then imo they have to be hg.
For all the complaining about transfers, looks like Klopp has signed real GEMS Gravenberch Endo Mac Allister Szoboszlai Of course, pessimists... (mito) ...could also point out that we've signed SMEG
