Syrette Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 We should go for Krancjar. With what? Brass buttons? Do you for a fact know how much money we've got at the moment, or how much we're likely to have after sales? I'm well aware that our net spend in the last two windows wasn't that much at all (despite being way over-paid for Milner), but I still think we'll spend a bit. We have to. We don't want to let any players go, and Kinnear and Ashley aren't stupid, so I hope if the likes of Given leave that any net spend issues aren't used against them.

Well even putting aside the money we'll be spending, the recent prices for Muntari (£12.7m) and Diarra (£20m) and the quotes for Defoe (anything from £15m to £24m according to the media) suggest they'd want silly, silly money for Kranjcar.

Muntari-Inter Milan....Diarra-Real Madrid. I think that is the reason for the outrageous prices that have been stuck on these players. I think the price of a player like Kranjcar depends heavily on whether or not the traditional big boys and Man City are interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but I'd counter that with the fact he'd almost certainly get better clubs after him than us, pushing the price up just the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure they'd hate the idea of selling to a rival club like us. But if no-one else came in, and they were willing to sell to raise funds, then I'd like to see what we could do. But it's never going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 how much did they sell him for again? £7.5m according to Soccerbase. It was £9m and Pompey still owe us about £7m of it (not to mention them owing us about £4m for Kaboul). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Ashley will like the sound of a free signing. We need cover right now, and if he could come for little cost, at least on the short term, I guess it's not terrible business.

I'm sure he supported them as well. "His father Ed, a former amateur goalkeeper in his native Northern Ireland, could not confirm last night whether Neill was about to live the dream, but he did reveal: "Lucas has been a dyed in the wool Liverpool fan since he was a kid. "His heroes were players like Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness and, of course, if this move comes off, it will be a dream come true for him. "But any decision he makes will be made purely on football grounds, not on sentiment. "He'd assess any situation on its merits whether it was Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Real Madrid. "It's all about Lucas going somewhere where he can continue to progress."
