Im all for selling him this summer, as long as the money is right, they want him as the crowning jewel of project sportswash.

Fine, pay up then.

They have the cash, cold hard cash in truckloads.

I want minimal or no add ons.

250m cash up front

50m in add ons.

Lets see if they really want him or not eh.

Id throw 400m cash or **** off as a starting point and go from there

Even the Arabs aren’t stupid enough to pay that much…maybe 3 years ago but as a 31 year old, not a chance. That said, if LFC play the game well, they should entice them enough to part with some serious money…..so I agree that we should rinse them as much as possible.

Maybe they aint.

But the balls are all in our court and if they wanna play we gotta make them pay.

Like i said id start listening at 200m upfront minimum, then we can talk about add ons.
 
Yep, I was desperate for us to get Amrabat in the January window, and his agent was pushing him like mad. Think he was still 27 then too, but they were talking £40m then. Apparently the club (FSG?) wasn't interested at that age and the fact he was underwhelming in the Italian league (I dunno - I never watch it) , which is ironic as we ended up getting Endo at 30 <doh>, but that was because of the **** up with Lavia, which I still think we'll regret.

If you believe Twitter, after that debacle we asked again, but this time around United had already agreed terms with him, so fair enough - getting humiliated over Caicedo was bad enough - getting humiliated over Amrabat as well would have been a ****ing disaster. Still wish him luck though - he came over as an honest warrior in the WC, and with quite some passing range too. I assume United will continue with 4-2-3-1 with him alongside Casemiro. Makes sense. <ok>

Interesting statistical breakdown on him here from when lfc were linked.

Now have to assume the stats are correct. But if so he’s generally a decent passer of the ball but his tackling and defensive work isn’t anything special. Which is surprising as a DM you’d think he’d excel in ball winning as he’s built his whole reputation in this country on a decent WC performance mainly that tackle on Mbappe.

Poor chance created, good passer, mediocre ball winner.
conparison to fab, mediocre chance creater, average passer, good ball winner.
hendo - good chance creater, good passer, mediocre ball winner.
thiago - good chsnce creater, top passer & fantastic ball winner.

Happy Origi is back. Hope he scores a few goals against (just not against us) and gets a really good reception at Anfield.
A Great servant to us.

Never complained, never moaned or spat out his dummy just scored crucial goals when called upon.

Massive big div fan

Mason Greenwood on loan to Getafe. Reckon Luis Rubiales was first to welcome him to Spain <whistle>
