Sources in Liverpool state we've made a 500k bid, don't think it'll be enough but never know. http://kopthat.co.uk/2011/08/daniel...n-plessis-targeted-by-hull-and-leicester-city
Yeah - I saw that. The link to The Mail reveals nothing. Bear in mind, also, that The Mail is the parent of The Fail, so it's just feeding on the non-article in the latter. I agree with you though - I don't think £500k will pry Ayala loose from the Reds. Hopefully it's just an opening gambit (if not just a rumour!) and it's rumoured that Assem is prepared to fund cover.
One of the Vital members who is from (and lives) in Spain, says that he had a 'tweet' conversation with Ayala who said that the two clubs were trying to work something out. He (Ayala) will reply with more information tomorrow.
I think it's pretty obvious the two clubs are negotiating. And Ayala gets on with NP - at the end of the Derby game, they came off the pitch, talking together and arms around each other.
Had no idea Ayala was on twitter? Hope it is true, he's clearly a massive talent and would only strengthen the squad.
I think they've been confused by the daily mail article which combined us being after Ayala with Leicester being after Damien Plessis.
We wouldn't win a bidding war against them, NP would have to promise Ayala a starting position & TBH I wouldn't break up Chester & Hobbs.. But that article said Lesta were enquiring about Plessis not Ayala..
You never know what Liverpool will accept, if we give them a decent sell on clause you never know. He only has one year left on his contract, but i am surprised they are so willing to let him go, Liverpool's back line has look poor all pre-season and tbh it was non to clever at times last year either.
I actually thought that rosenior account was fake? Somebody was doing loads of fake accounts of people like bostock and Chester as the rosenior one popped up too so I assumed that was fake.
Exactly! its the best sort of dilemma to have as they are all too good and none of the 3 (Hobbs, Chester, Ayala) deserve a place on the bench. So where would Ayala fit?
liverpool arnt done in the transfer market yet, i think kenny will make a few bids for some defenders. latest news is he wants shawcross from stoke. ayala is so down the pecking order i think its obvious he's not wanted there. why would you let a player you have high hopes for run down his contract and leave the club ? in january he'll be free to speak to any club he likes, which is why i think they'll accept bids for him now and let him move on.
I think CI have got that article wrong, Leicester are not in for Ayala as far as I know, they're in for another of Liverpool's kids.
