Stifler Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) Didn’t Fabio admit that he released information so agents can start a bidding war, and help players in contract renewals? Edited July 30 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I missed that. Sounds rather dodgy reporting but who knows. Lots of things in football are dodgy to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 You only sell crown jewel players when you have to - basically when the player says I want to go and won’t stay as they are incredibly difficult to replace. Isak and Bruno etc might go at some point but the aim is to delay that moment Being better sellers is about moving on players once the best years are done or if they are not integral to the team. It’s not about flogging the best players at the first sign of cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myleftboot Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I don’t mind if we sell Gordon,as long as we sign a better player to replace him with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsays Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 If Gordon wants to leave and we get top dollar for him then fair enough. If he is happy to stay then we keep him - he is only going to get better. Him and Isak should be the players we should centre the team around going forward as they have age on their side and have a high ceiling. As others have said players who have already reached their peak are the ones we should be cashing in on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said players who have already reached their peak are the ones we should be cashing in on that rationale apply to Bruno as well? He's on the edge of that for me, I would miss him so so much, but is he going to improve much more? is he at his most sellable right now? would his sale allow a transformative ammount of purchases ala AV and Grealish etc? I don't wanna imagine a toon video on YT without his smile and laugh, but sometimes the team is bigger than the individual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I rate Barnes but selling Gordon would be a disaster. He's basically the perfect winger for how we play and only going to get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 God I'd be devastated if we sold Gordon, he's so effective and he's only had 1 full season for us, 10+ goals and assists Not only that but he has the intangibles, workrate, mentality, great injury record, ambition etc... All the things that are hard to account for when recruiting someone new Having said that, I think there are a lot more LW's on the market than right, but I'd wonder if we'd just persist with Barnes and have Willock /Joelinton as cover, if the worst did happen Lastly, I know Diaz didn't have the best season, but he is also class, and very good 1v1, better than Gordon imo but not the better player , surely if you're a Liverpool fan you'd rather give him another season under Slot before committing to a new player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Romano doesn't say anything there but maybe we'll have to offer Anthony a new contract soon if we want to be in a good position for negotiations in future windows. Think he was signed on an unusually short deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
