Sounds like Man City were wanting to sign him too which would explain the extortionate price. Bit of a bidding war has been going on perhaps. Trying to outbid Man City FFS!
Trouble is , all the other teams know about it as well now ...assuming we get most of it to re-invest anyway .
The guy is worth €20m tops, in the normal world that is, not the loopy twilight zone that football exists in now! Imagine what Darren Peacock would be worth if he were in today’s market!! On a side note, when are Liverpool changing their name to Liverhampton? Didn’t realise they were using the saints as a feeder club these days.
I can only imagine the details of the deal......€1.2b in cash, Sterling, De Bruyne and Aguero in exchange, a 35% stake in Etihad airlines and a lifetime of free haircuts at Toni&Guy!
Makes my eyes bleed this. Am I the only one hoping it’s a nightmare for him and he totally ****s it up week in week out.
Good signing. Ignoring the fee he is exactly what Liverpool need. I think him and Matip will make a good pairing. They still dropped a massive bollock not signing him and Pickford in the summer. Their keepers are still ****.
