I think there is just an element of people risking that dressing room spirit bring a new guy in. Then there's the risk rangers tinkers with what is working and fucus it up playing the guy. For a guy in Russia buying in Jan is actually better for the Russians. But don't expect him to be fit to go from day one.
Latest Tex rumour is we've caved in and are trying on the add ons route to get to their valuation. If we see a league title klopp will blow their chairman etc etc. .
I dont mind if we walk away tbh Asking price is a lot and their owner is stubborn (and filthy rich) We made a good offer, if it doesnt materialise then lets add that cash to the summers purse and carry on enjoying our roller coaster season (which it was always going to be anyways!)
Unless we're getting two new strikers in it would make zero sense letting one go when we have problems with Benteke being the only one consistently fit. Benteke is going nowhere in January.
We already have Benteskey, Studge, Origi, Ings and Balotelli on the books, can't see us signing two more without shifting one or two first.
Coming from SportBILD. The Meeting was apparently in December between Klopp and Andy Gross, Xhaka's agent. Xhaka's under contract until 2019; from 2017 there's a release clause of EUR 30 Million. Any deal before then, i.e. now or in the summer, would be negotiated as normal, i.e. could be much more than the EUR 30 Million. Other top Clubs in Europe are supposedly also interested. Gladnach's Manager, Max Eberl, has already said that Xhaka may leave in the summer. http://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/p...rstes-treffen-wegen-xhaka-44310726.sport.html
Transfermarkt.at are saying that, according to SportBild (no direct link), we've got EUR 200 Million to spend on Transfers! http://www.transfermarkt.at/bericht...sh-treffen-mit-xhaka-berater/view/news/224639 Next year is our year!
ok lets assume that is true, bet we would have to sell ballo, studge and benteke to fund half that figure. def be a book balancing exercise somewhere for sure, just which players would be sacrificed.
bild or a real report. bild is as bad as the bloody metro. I'd not mind playing the captial one cup final with teixteria and Xhaka in the 11.
76 Million quid (100 Million euro) for Balotelli, Sturridge and Benteke sounds a bit optimistic to be honest...
Dembele at Fulham, highly rated young striker. Contract up in 6 months and Spurs interred.... Saying could be available for 4-6m. Could be less if allowed to stay on loan rest of the season. Could be be a good signing, highly rated
OK throw in skrts allen Lucas as well. Still not there are we I give up, we have a lot of expensive ****e that's worth **** all to sell
No way I'd sell Studge, get a striker in and tell Studge he has to get fit and then fight for a place. If he ever get fit then at least he's playing for us not against. We also have to understand that we can't have a worldie in every position, the likes of Allen and Lucas are an important part of a squad.
