Not really double though, is it? Clyne is half if anything, Mane good value, Lala is getting to look like decent value.


And then Lovren :)

well.... it was marginal exaggeration.

clyne aint worth 24mil. he was running his contract down but we didn't get him cheap. IMO 12mil was all his money

Mane at 34.. again the year before that would have been double but he was value yes

Lallana at 25 was daylight robbery

Lambert at any fee was silly money

Lovren at 25 was prob 15mil too much.



Do you ever think.... what if?

Like poch and 8/9 players that left you... well... you could have been leicester
 
no you will know from the beginning of the transfer window that Jimmy didn't think much of Matip and said he had mistakes in him and that he wasn't the answer. He was hopeful and supportive but in his mind he wouldn't be the real deal.

That may have changed now (such as how opinions of Brenden have changed) but that was his initial feelings.

@Jimmy Squarefoot

Mito was always a fanboy. He's big and powerful. That is Fanboy Mitos requirements

I said Matip was a clear upgrade on Lovren and Skrtel - his last season was a season of two halves. He was brilliant for the first half but really poor for the second half.

But he's been better then I expected so far. Long may it continue.

Course we do!

But then we replace well. Alderweireld was 2 x Lovren. VVD is 4 x Lovren. Tadic/Lallana equal. Pelle at that stage one up on Lambert.

What we haven't done is replace Pelle really (Austin is good, but we need more quality up top). Mane/Redmond/Boufal - we shall see.

you did at that time for sure.

The issue you've had is koeman in yar 2 didn't do as well IMO. Alderweirld was a right bargain and then van dijk was a good risk. forester was a good buy for the managers you had. not great with feet but very very good.

I think you never replaced morgan either really. or wanyama.

I do think redmond is decent though.

Romeu is as good as Wanyama. Think Hojbjerg will get to Schneiderlin level from what we've seen.

You did say he'd be a upgrade on Lovern and Skrtel, that much is true. However, you also labelled him squad player and said we should still sign a first choice CB to partner Sakho.

Never mind though mate, I didn't want us to sign Coutinho or Studge.

With the January transfer window fast approaching, Coric has once again been linked with a move to England and this time, it has been claimed that Liverpool and Tottenham are preparing a move for the Croatian international who could be available for around £15 million.

Correct - let's hope his form continues. He's playing extremely well.
