Liverpool probably don't plan to sell the kid, unlike some, so I doubt the 25% will come in handy.

they will if they get the right offer...see torres.

 

True.  I guess we'll see.

 

Say if we did buy him back, does this clause still work?  We could effectively bid 1/4 over what we want to pay?

I reckon I almost qualify as an ITK.

 

Was at a Liverpool talk in yesterday with Dalglish and Hansen - Dalglish said that the deal for Carroll was agreed on Sunday night.  Apparently we then upped the price on Monday after we saw all the press on it and on Torres.  So Liverpool upped their price for Torres from Chelsea.

 

LFC's owner has already confirmed the deal was done 24 hours before Ashley 'accepted' Carrolls request and reluctantly accepted LFC's bid. LFC's owner knew the price Chelsea would need to pay for Torres would be £15m more than NUFC wanted for Carroll so they could balance the books with the £6m they made off the other centre forward  they sold (who's name escapes me) Carroll and the bloke from Holland for torres.

if as he says there, Henry was 'surprised to receive a bid of £50m on the monday morning from chelsea' it must mean that Chelsea knew the Carroll price was £35m on the sunday night. As he says himself, Chelsea were aware the price Liverpool were willing to sell Torres at was the price of Carroll + £15m. Therefore, to have that surprising bid on monday morning of £50m means the price was known on sunday night and there was no 'raising' of the price later on monday by us.

seems strange that they would say the price of carroll +15mill and not just name a figure in which case they could have got more.

"The negotiation for us was simply the difference in prices paid by Chelsea and to Newcastle," Henry said. "Those prices could have been £35m [from Chelsea for Torres] and £20m [to Newcastle for Carroll], 40 and 25 or 50 and 35. It was ultimately up to Newcastle how much this was all going to cost. They [Newcastle] made a hell of a deal. We felt the same way."

I don't Liverpool could of got much more imho for Torres. Likewise I don't we could of got anymore for AC.

Worst bargaining ever!

thats what seems strange, if we'd settled for 20million does that mean torres would have gone for 35mill ? i can't really buy that.

What i find strange is that the interview was cited as evidence the club accepted a price on sunday then upped it on monday when the interview implies that as impossible.

 

The alternative is that Chelsea made the bid of £50m independently on monday and Henry let a few people know this so that we could up our price to £35m. Which is ridiculous.

is it likely that chelsea really said to liverpool "whatever you pay for carroll we'll pay 15mill extra for torres" or more likely that the ball park figure for torres was known (i believe near guesses were in the british press that weekend) and we played on that to up the price ?
