Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[SM]

Would I be pushing it if I can get it to 30mil? haha

Nah no way he'd go for 30m.

 

[jod23]

Go away little boy, the grown ups are having a rational conversation.

Go away? You followed me in here as you always do. Following me around. Trying to argue with me. It's cute.

How did you manage to get SM to back track so quickly? You're an SM whisperer.

Stay close, ill need you in future.

PSG to spend 45 million pounds got get Daniel Sturridge according to daily mail.

 

[Cruyff14]

The thing is, is that Benteke is actually a brilliant player, not worth 32.5 million but id say 20-25.

Im sure we will get around 25 for him in the summer so the hit wont be that large. He will leave and bang in goals for someone else. But it just doesnt work at Liverpool and under Klopp.

No idea if Chelsea would fork out 25 for him. West Ham surely wont.

If he is brilliant why isn't he worth his value, if not more?

He is worth his value. His value is 20-25m. We clearly overpaid for him. Everyone knows this. Liverpool at their transfer business best. Hopefully those days are done now Klopp has arrived.

 

[Cruyff14]

Surely if a player was brilliant though you would A) not want to sell him B) try to keep him at all costs C) play a system to suit his style.

Maybe he isn't so brilliant after all.....

Amazes me that in the same breath he's a brilliant player and a player Liverpool don't want.

 

[Cruyff14]

Liverpool and logic seemingly do not exist.

Brilliant was perhaps a strong word. He's a very good player though and in the right set up and team is very effective and will score goals.

That pretty obvious. But if you want to nitpick and waste my time. Well I cant be bothered with that.

So let's move on.

 

[Cruyff14]

I am simply replying to what you posted, which was that he was a "brilliant" player.

There is no nitpicking. It is exactly what you said.

 

[FAITH]

WH want benteke 20-25 seems fair

why would you need money back not like you're poor.
donations to smaller clubs like swansea is a good thing.

So you're saying Liverpool are poor?

The brilliant player is Sturridge. The system should centre around making him effective.

Makes you wonder what clubs are thinking bringing in players like Bony and Benteke when they are going to be square pegs in round holes.

As frustrating as it is having only 1 striker, we have a manager who isn't doing that. If the price or player style aren't right he doesnt waste money. Wasting money and failing to get results gets you sacked with Levy.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Liverpool will easily get 20 million for Benteke, his wages are a bigger worry.

Drives me nuts. Everyone was against bringing him in but Rodgers somehow thinks its a good idea and then seems genuinely shocked when it didn't work.

Im just so thankful Klopp is here now. We've been woeful in the transfer market for years and years. Ever since Rafa left really. Hopefully that period is over with now. I certainly have more faith in Klopp anyways.

Wonder if you'd look at Benteke, don't think he'd be out of place in your system?

 

[jod23]

Yeah Spurs. Buy Benteke. He's.... brilliant.

 

[Zidane98]

10m hahah .... oh you!

He probably thinks Alex Bruce is worth more.

Can't contracts include some kind of 12 month warranty these days

no swansea

Doubt it. We have Levy remember.

20-25m and 140k wages is a lot for a back up striker. We'll look elsewhere and probably find a suitable back up for far less. Benteke even if Liverpool paid some of his wages (say to make us pay 80k) would be nearly the highest paid at the club. Won't happen.

Fair enough. Was just a thought that occurred to me.
