My issue with all this is this; are we targeting players because they are £7m or because we think they are the perfect fit for our team? I can see us drawing the line if Spurs had offered silly money but £8m? If we aren't going to enter into bidding wars then he can't be seen as so important to our plans so why the hell are we going for him in the first place. Fed up going for players just to fill our squad...either we get them & they add little or we lose out & look like the ugly bird at the dance.
Haha, we never wanted Cole either. 'Arry was all on his own with that one Yeah, it's hard to tell what's going on, as there's so much misinformation these days but it's always fun to speculate on these things during the club football drought. Well it's better than watching England, atleast. Given that you were competing with Swansea, I'd be surprised if you've offered Sigurdsson what you think he's worth as it's unlikely you'd have needed too. I guess it all now depends on how badly you wanted him in the first place and whether it's already too late. Even if you would have been willing up your offer, there's always the chance that you don't see him being worth getting into a bidding war over.
We are an impatient lot. We don't know what's been going on behind the scenes, so talk of "dragging our heels" is premature. If anything we may have been guilty of complacency, thinking the BR factor was enough to get him. If we lose him because of that, then we've learned a lesson, nothing more. He's a decent player but it's not like we've thrown away the chance of getting Messi for a bag of sweets.
According to lfc.TV forum which is where us paying members chat it is common knowledge that we have to sell first to buy. There is no big budget so get that out your head now.
There are people on there seldom wrong. I would think that's because they re based in Liverpool and have more reliable sources. Time will tell but judging from things so far they seem to be right.
