jack j Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Back to the old why pay 35 million for such and such if you can spend an extra 15 million on such and such in my head I've also just accepted I've got nee idea what's happening so best off waiting and seeing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just now, gdm said: Yes I know. I’m not talking specifically about him tho. Him, hope, Douglas & Waugh have all said we have around £40m left and they’ll be targeting a loan. tbh personally I don’t have a fuckin clue what’s happening and happy to wait and see now. I do find it strange (unless I’ve missed) we haven’t bid any more than £40m for any one yet and let’s be honest £40m for Maddison or Barnes is strangely low Tbh, I don't think £40m is that low for Barnes but is a bit off for Maddison who I'd say is in the 50-60 bracket. We got Bruno who is an absolutely outstanding footballer for ~40. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 £100m get the two, man. Broja on loan to cover/push Wilson and we're looking class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes imo and obviously in Leicester’s opinion is easily worth more than £40m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Both Barnes and Maddison are worth £50m+ When the likes of Ben White are going for £50m you know you're going to have to pay more for English goalscorers/creators. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on contract length that’s left, plus state of the selling clubs finances, as well as if the player will agitate for a move. Sterling (and Jesus both) moved for less than £50m.

Rich Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If that story is true (a big "if") and the gap is down to €7M in terms of what we're offering and what they're asking, this deal will almost certainly get done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, 2024 for both. They're at the peak of what they'll be able to attract fee-wise right now, which is why I think both clubs are open to selling. It's only downhill from here unless they're confident they'd sign a new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 It’s obvious we are going to improve and sign two or three more players lets just watch and enjoy it unfold no matter who comes in - we have the right people in doing the right things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Aye, the amount of data and manpower we'll be putting to use to determine transfer valuations is way, way beyond most people's individual capacity to judge a fee and decide whether they're happy or sad with what we've offered or paid. I think it's a very different window to January and it's already abundantly clear that we won't do deals where the valuation of the club is way beyond the range we've come up with internally. That might change as we get deeper into it, of course, but it's going to be a fun ride watching it all unfold. At least two more signings for me, likely a third on loan, and towards £100M being spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear isn't the transfer fee, it's the ability to attract them to the club at the moment, particularly as we're (rightly) not going stupid on wages. If they're both serious about playing for England I think we'd be a good option for them though. Guaranteed game time and a real chance to prove how good they are. I'm very surprised that Barnes' Liverpool links haven't come up again. I swear Klopp was desperate to sign him 2 years ago?

The Prophet Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Let's dream for a minute. Harrison wide right, Maddison tucked in behind Wilson. You're looking at an extra 25-30 goals a season there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very surprised that Barnes' Liverpool links haven't come up again. I swear Klopp was desperate to sign him 2 years ago? LFC could get him tomorrow if they wanted, but they are known for waiting patiently and adding to their squad when a priority arises. They knew Mane would be leaving hence Diaz and they were also going to potentially lose Salah, hence Nunez. That and he will be their main man once he leaves or starts to regress. Their priority from a good LFC pal of mine is Bellingham next season, but they fear City smashing them out of the water with a bid prior to that or next season too. Klopp does like Barnes, but they have more pressing priorities, namely a successor to van Djik and Henderson. Edited August 1, 2022 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
