Yeah, it depends who goes but if we lose Diaz, Nunez, Chiesa as well as Jota and add Eki, Isak and say Fofana, for example, it’s arguably stronger but not so if we only buy one forward. Wirtz allows rotation with Slob, Grav, jones and Maca so again, arguably stronger….LB is definitely better, RB we’ve replaced Trent - so CB is our big issue, assuming the forwards are bought. If we also lose Konate, we have a huge issue imo I guess we have to see what plays out - this could be a wonder window or it could prove to be ill-fated. FSG rarely get it wrong so we just gotta see
Indeed, but tbf, we're clean, I presume? If the compensation is less than Newcastle want for him - it surely will be? - any bank will facilitate a short-term loan for him to buy out his contract (€130m, at a wild guess?), knowing Liverpool would pay €140m, even €150m) and they could take €5m for a week's work, and the agent pockets the rest. We're sort of complicit in that, but not by much. I dunno.
Bayern to come back with a £60m+ bid this week. I expect that to be £60m with add-ons. Think if we can get £10m+ worth of add-ons then that would probably be a fair price.
They got it wrong in 2020 when they let Lvren go and thought they could get away with 3 CBs, one of them being the hugely injury-prone Matip (see the parallels?). I think because Fab had played a few good games at CB they could get away with it - but that turned out to be a fallacy as it gutted our midfield long-term as Fab ended up playing there for months until he himself got injured. We need 4 dedicated CB's, especially if we're keeping Joe for another season. Fabulous as this window is, the idea of Endo, Tsimikas, Gravy, and Robbo playing CB in the Prem and the CL is mortifying.
Be unbelievable, tbh, because apparently his transfer value (28 with 2 years left on his contract) is €50m.
how much was Wirtz , Diaz , Ekitike et al basically they make an educated guess nothing more nothing less on valuations . All that matters are the value the club who own the players registration put on him and the club who want his registration put on him .
Indeed. But what I'm saying, hypothetically, like, is how much compensation they'd be entitled to IF (and I'm not at all suggesting he should) enact the scenario outlined previously. That's all.
