How can they demand money from a deal that hasn't even been made yet? It could be Sanchez + Tello for Suarez straight swap for all they know. Once they know we have £60-80m sitting in the bank? Different story...
Yes. Everyone kows Chelsea/City get quoted more money for players than if Everton came in for them for example. My point (which Saint has also said below) is that everyone knows we'll have at least £60m to spend whether we enquire not of when the Suarez transfer finally goes through. It's hardly a secret that it's going to happen and how much for. Teams aren't going to think, hmm they haven't sold Suarez so have less money... let's charge them less now.
Not sure if this has been up already but Lovren looks like he's made his feelings pretty clear eh http://www.ftbpro.com/posts/dane.em...witter&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=feed
Saw it earlier billy, don't know how he can swing it in his favour to get his move though, as he said Saints stand to more than double what they paid for him but in the end its down to them if he stays or goes. One things for sure though he'll get merciless stick if he's forced to stay now that he said his heart is already at Liverpool.
Markovic a done deal for €25M according to Mariana Cabral, journalist Portuguese paper The Express.
I hope he's not been brought in as a goal scorer because his goal to game ratio is appalling Appreciate he's only 20 but for that kind of money I'd want more.
torres.... shearer..... in fact most young guys don't score a shed load but if they've the attributes and you take them on they can step up to be brilliant.... lets just same james rodriguez doesn't have a stellar record but he's going to go for huge money... then again.... he could be muck.... you can't say either way just judge the attributes as best you can. is the side he's playing in a top side... do they get lots and he doesn't. etc etc etc.
He's scored 21 goals in 124 appearances. Seriously, is this the best we can buy with £19.8m...? We already have Borini and Aspas to keep the bench warm
He is 20. Aspas is 26. A lot of those appearances would have been made as a teenager and very likely as a substitute.
An article I just read said Markovic is like Sterling but slightly taller. But that Sterling is slightly better. He plays left, right, playmaker or second striker.
I was referring to the price for someone that's not going to be a first team impact. It was also part piss take. Thought he was a versatile striker
