The College Dropout Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 21 minutes ago, KaKa said: Was really strange to discover that he only signed a 3.5 year deal. I think this is all a play to get an improved contract which is valid, coming off the season he had. Currently on £60,000 a week. Also tend to see players use interest from other clubs to justify a new contract too, which is fair enough. If when he returns contract talks are difficult, can see a scenario where he does move, because next summer he will then be in the last year of his deal. That 3.5 year deal makes no sense in hindsight. Surely you sign a promising player that needs to develop to a 4-6 year deal? Like the Isak deal.

SUPERTOON Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 As long as it’s true, that the club didn’t offer him out then I’m happy with whatever develops. I’d be gutted if he went don’t get me wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 There's no way we gave him 3.5 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Just now, STM said: There's no way we gave him 3.5 years. It doesnt make any sense. 3.5 + year option for us. Aye. If it was 3.5 surely we would be in contract negotiations already. Maybe it was smart FFP play. Have 3.5 year contract with an option for 1-2 more years. That front loads his amortisation costs. If we extend at the end of the 3.5 year period he would’ve amortised nearly all his fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 You'd like to think that Eddie or someone from the club rang him up before this all hit the press. Maybe explains why he fell off his bike while on a call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Will be 5.5 years. Nobody pays 45m for a 21 year old and gives them 3.5... not even 4.5. Would certainly like to get to the bottom of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 You don’t spend 45n on a 22 year old to give out 3.5 year deals it will be 4.5 at least with 5.5 being the most likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'd argue it's not a great time to join LFC even if it his club. I think he'll be here at least another year to see how it goes there post Klopp. Wishful thinking maybe but i'm trying to be an optimist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 55 minutes ago, KaKa said: Yeah, for some reason, I wouldn't be as concerned with him leaving as those two either. Regarding the fee, the issue is when his current contract runs out. All the info available is saying 2026. If that is true he needs a new contract pronto, otherwise by next summer, which would then be his final year, we would have to accept fees way under his value. He's a great player but he's not irreplaceable, Bruno and Isak are both very rare commodities, especially Isak who is potentially amongst the elite.

Yeah, hope we can keep him, as he's been exceptional, but it won't be the level of nightmare it would be finding replacements for Isak and Bruno.

Aye nothing will happen either don’t you worry. If we believe the reports they offered us 50m + Kellehar (who they value at 27m) so a package of 77m, our response was the offer wasn’t serious and this is when we were separate. TLDR Gordon is too expensive to buy for other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
