It wasn't just you mate. There was a little run of negative comments. For what it's worth I agree that you have to look at the bigger picture but this Thiago link (if it's real) would be a steal.
Aston Villa must fork out £20m to sign Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic, according to reports. Grujic, 24, has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Villa this summer having been deemed surplus to requirements at Anfield.
Harsh on him but right, you feel his window has passed with us really. I don't think he's ever going to be fit enough and capable of a substantial run in the squad/team so we'll never know what kind of player he could've been or what fuller contribution he could've made. At 27 he's also no spring chicken now; it's funny, you feel like he's a younger player because he has hardly played really. And 'The Ox' couldn't be a more inappropriate nickname for such a fragile player
TBF, if we're looking at getting £20m for Grujic then Thiago for £30m looks good business irrelevant of age
The Telegraph are saying Chelsea are very close to signing LB Chilwell from Leicester............for £50m
I'd say they were getting him cheap at £50m. I mean Maguire was £80m and he's ****. Anyone questioning Chelsea over their spending (of course not since FFP fell apart this summer). Utter nonsense that they've saved up since last summer and their ban, they spend £100m on two players over last season (thats the Hazard money gone) And this summer: Werner £50m Ziyech £40m (ish) Thats already £80-90m spent Chilwell £50m (or more) Havertz £80 or 90m plus another GK They'll be about £200m this summer, covid summer when revenues are down.
Jurgen Klopp on Chamberlain: "Oxlade's ability to receive between the lines & shoot from distance shows he can play a lot of games as a number 9 next season which gives us a new option" Thiago in, Origi out and The Ox considered a forward.
Leeds have kindly offered to buy Origi, provided we also loan them Brewster. We would have no options up front if we did that.
when Klopp ‘suggests’ something like that, you know it will happen. last year it was lallana playing as a deep lying midfielder...... remember? This is the major difference between us and the likes of City...we have to be creative because we can’t just go and buy who we want to.
