Transfer discussion thread

How will they meet FFP when spending so much money in the next 6 months. Must be funded on dirty Redsox money.

We've spent £17m in 2 years. We put our pennies away in the piggy bank for big deals!!

 

[FAITH]

FAITH why are you ruining football? £75m for CB ffs

luv is the winner today, the luv between player and manager.

Can't believe we got him ahead of Pep. Most of the City press were writing that a deal with City was done and this time round there was very little press about LFC signing him.

None of the City press were saying a deal was done.

ITK's were saying he was too expensive.

Thought there was no such thing as too expensive for City?

 

[RossFC]

Apparently Man City were only willing to pay 60mil max.

Tightarses

with vinny injured again there's no way we dont buy a cb.

75 mil for van dijk is...wow

 

[Gak Attack]

I think it's a ridiculous amount for a defender but at the same time don't give a **** given our need for upgrades there.

Any more than that and there'd be a few people lodging FFP complaints.

Lovren suddenly available

I think we will but I'd be happy if we stick with what we've got. Stones coming back soon, him and Otamendi are good enough imo.

Pep was talking about it at his boxing day press conference:

James Ducker of the telegraph was suggesting a deal was done with City. What is surprising for me is the total lack of press about LFC signing him this time round. Pretty much nothing until the transfer was announced.

£75m for VVD that’s absurd

It's 20m too much IMO.

Let's hope his defending at set pieces is better than that other £75m signing at Old Trafford

 

[moomba]

That was Pellegrino talking about VVD in that link, not Pep. Ducker has never been a reliable source for City news.

 

[FAITH]

You guys spent 200m on lugapoo and pog.
I'd take vvd over them

Well you’d hope seeing as our £75m isn’t actually a defender.

No-one with any brains believes that.

Lol ok

most of the stuff that came out said we were prepared to bid 60 mil but knew liverpool were right in for him too

he saw right through the phoney citeh grp project, credit to him.

 

[Hawkforce]

If Liverpool were going to spend that kind of money why on earth weren't they in for Davinson Sanchez?

Still, VVD would seem to be what they need so whatever it takes I guess...

 

[moomba]

One good think about WC's link is Pep saying if we do sign a CB it will be one for two, three, four years etc.

No JFE.

 

[citizen-erased]

A lot of money for a single defender.
Wonder if Liverpool will continue the spend to sure up other positions. Esp if Can leaves for Juve or Bayern.
