Can see us walking away from the deal now chelsea got involved. Unless Lavia/agent specifically stated wants to go lfc and no one else which can’t see it happening.

Wont get into war of fees and wages with other clubs so looks like he’s chelsea bound.

Yeah this is astounding tbh, no issues with bids and negotiations - I agree with not just iron fisting £50m for this kid.

BUT - you keep going back so obviously that is the plan, we want him. Why are we then drawing out the bids and allowing a media frenzy on it, and then the inevitable rival to get involved?

It’s just not what we do and it isn’t good enough

Not specific to your club, mine or any other but my take is.....
Do you really want him, if so make your own decision on maximum worth to you.
Make bid, selling club laughs and want's several million more than your valuation.
Walk away and find another target.

I know it sounds easy (and maybe a bit simple minded) but transfer fees are way out of control. If the selling club values the player far higher than you think he is worth then walk away and tell them you hope he does well for them next season.

Agree in the main, and I think that’s largely how we do operate, but we are in a situation we didn’t expect to be in atm

Let's hope the lad wants to play on Thursday nights in Khazastan and doesn't want the bright lights of London, just a three-hour train ride from his home in Belgium. :bandit:
 
I think there is an element of trying to save face by the club and keep up a rep for bargaining hard

Or alternatively- we aren’t actually that interested and are using it to basically not spend any money

we chased and tried but he was the only player we wanted and you know what klopp is like - will be the general gist
So we will go again next summer….

I truly think JH will cream himself if we lose out and he can say, as he did over Tchumanei last season, "Oh well, put the chequebook away for this season. But we're really, really looking at a marquee signing next season. We are you know", and the Echo will tell everyone we're after someone or other like they said we were about Bellingham. Rinse and ****ing repeat. :(

FSG are lucky because they know that the majority of the fanbase accept mediocrity who wont put any pressure on them.

Given they want 50m. Don't you think there's potential for Chelsea to get mind games in early for us ahead of Sunday?

I expect us to pay 50m now but I also wouldn't be surprised to see us not bother in case of a bidding war/wage demands

yes I know but the same level of hysteria wasn't there either. suso was on my watch list for sure as a genuine two footed player.

The backstories behind Bajcetic vs Suso and Pacheco (add Németh, and Lindfield to that list too, going back fuether) are interesting.

Bajcetic was never over hyped playing for the kids but stepped up to senior and was excellent. S, P, etc al all hyped out the wahoo as kids but never stepped up as seniors.

I'm always hesitant believing any new star kid will be any good.
