He's not worth it for 40 million imo and he's 28. You're better off paying another 20/30m for Keita if he is as what others are saying he is.
Little to no resale value agreed , however would do a job for 2-3 seasons whilst we get established again in top 4 minimum. If rumours true that lucas leaving, we have no established DM at the club. This guy has experience at the top level and the price reflects that . Just my opinion and actually surprised only united are in for him. The Keita guy id take of course but if matic is available its worth a look ...
not technically, if money has moved accounts they ARE on last years accounts so my point is if the next years accounts start july 1 it might make sense that city have lined up to do these first week or so to get them in the next season/years accounts.
A DM like matic is not going to shift shirts so its really down to utd to throw money at who mourinho wants with no thought to that issue. We need to spend our loot on guys who will sell a **** load of shirts so if offered a 28 year old for big money it'd be aubameyang who will sift loads of shirts AND extra letters on the back
I think you did too. the wording of the thing suggests to me you handed exactly what you wanted said to LFC and we just baout snuck in the "media reports" on the front and I quote: "Liverpool Football Club would like to put on record our regret over recent media speculation regarding Southampton Football Club and player transfers between the two clubs. We apologise to the owner, board of directors and fans of Southampton for any misunderstanding regarding Virgil van Dijk. We respect Southampton's position and can confirm we have ended any interest in the player." IMO the last two sentences were demanded verbatim from Southampton. the giveaway is the "owner" that is far too specific. I would however love to know what sort of "evidence" is held back to blackmail this grovelling apology and not given to force a transfer ban.
Leeds United have signed young midfielder Madger Gomes following his departure from Liverpool. The 20-year-old was released by Liverpool at the end of lastseason and has now signed a three-year deal with Leeds, as reported by the club.
I just got new info from the underground..... Klopp wants Van Dijk but he's been told by FSG (and edwards) its unrealistic. If you recall someone told rogers (according to rogers) Van dijk was "not for him" Stay tuned guys. the clubs not willing to go back and won't be backing the manger on it.
due to the **** up and apology. FSG are "men of their words" its actually an expansion of Matt hughes on the times this morning the spreadsheet was set to cost us about 50-60 mil cos we should have bought under rogers according to rogers but someone told them he was "not for them" (edwards) this however is FSG saying we said something and we are never bidding on him even if he is gods gift (and going to double in value)
transfers that have gone quiet Michael Keane Ryan Sessengnon andrew Robertson you can get them all for half of VVD. and we will cos nobody wants them it seems.
I dunno cos if there's an impasse at the transfer decision making level its not good. If klopp is being told he can't have VVD due to the wording of an apology then I HOPE saints forced that exact wording so we could see an expensive pay off happening in 6-12months
Who is calling the shots, Klopp, FSG and Edwards?.I think VVD is overpriced personally. We can look elsewhere.
