Barrett saying we've bid 32M for Alex Teixeira...

[moron]

The length of time this has dragged on for is leading me to believe it wont happen, wouldn't be surprised if it was reported that Chelsea have upped their interest tonight.

That is the most likely outcome. I can feel the dark sith lord at work behind all of this.

 

[hmmmmm1]

strange to go in with such a low ball offer, with clause so high.


We have had similar experience after the kopo affair.

 

[FoxForceFive]

That is the most likely outcome. I can feel the dark sith lord at work behind all of this.

The most likely outcome would be us to buy him for 45m on the last day of the window. Him to tear his hamstring on his debut, then play shite all next season before we flog him to West Ham for 15m.

100%

it's getting done this.

When I begin to doubt, to waiver in my conviction, your percentages are a great source of solace to me.

 

[jexykrodic]

How do you know this is Klopp's pick? It's not clear to me that it is.
All I know is that all of our 30M+ quid buys have not been very good at football.

I'm thinking you might still be a doubter.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Time to raise it to 28 million + 1 pound.

Time to retire that joke?

Que ? Yeah right.

I've been a Liverpool supporter for 40+ years, Jexy. The last 25 of those can do that to a man.

Yep, myself also, too long to care really but I still do. I still think we're going to do something, one day, even though there's no real evidence for my optimism...

£40 million. Get stuffed.
Screw that fee. If we pay that, every club we approach will know our negotiating tactics are about as good our defence are with set pieces.
No thanks.

I think it is 40 million euros. I'd pay it.

 

[Hansern]

Not sure if true but there were some talk about we offering to pay in installments and Shaktar wanting the fee paid upfront.
Will be interesting to see if there is any development reported by the newspapers tonight

Is anyone else feeling the longer this thread gets the less I want this dude?

 

[doctor_mac]

Is anyone else feeling the longer this thread gets the less I want this dude?

Quite the reverse. I may have some sort of breakdown if we don't sign him. Indeed, I think there is a solid 64% chance of that.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Que ? Yeah right.

Okay, I get it. As @mark1975 correctly points out, there is only an 'n' of two. But which one of Christian Benteke and Andy Carroll is good at football? (At least, good enough to lead our line?)

I may also be a little prone to hyperbole - so sue me.

 

[moron]

Is anyone else feeling the longer this thread gets the less I want this dude?

I did not want him in the first place, but the thread convinced me that maybe this guy will be good - so I started wanting him, but now like you the longer this goes on the more I feel we will lose him because they are talking to some other cunt club in the background who have the means to buy him for the asking price. Sad but true. this is how I feel.

Also I feel like beggars can't be choosers - the lack of quality strikers around the world has got us to a stage where we are putting out 25m-30M for an uncapped player, playing in a very limited league of Europe. Shocking - that we cannot even look to find what we want elsewhere in Europe.

 

[Mystic]

Yep, he's basically Suarez's and Alonso's love child right now.

 

[carlv]

Surely they can't be miles off agreeing a fee. Before they even sit round a table let alone fly to America (If they actually did) you would think there is a realistic belief a deal can be done I can't believe that Ayre would waste his time this way

Those negotiating could be just wanting a free little holiday at Liverpool FC's expense. Can happen you know - probably true.

Nothing new, but Sky reporting deal is "some way" off.

Mods - Lock the thread.

 

[Mystic]

Tonight's news was my last hope to be honest, unfortunately nothing, I'll stay camped in here though, because you never know.

 

[rurikbird]

Once again, Willian was sold on the last day of January transfer window (after he basically forced the move through). That's probably what's going to happen, unless we walk away first.

 

[rampage]

I would rather see us stuff 50mil on Suarez than surrender to shaktar's demand.

The merchandise sales of Suarez would probably cover the transfer fee and wages.

Yes, Barca who paid 75m for him a year ago is going to sell him at a loss to us, while his record and performances have been better than when they bought him. Good move.

Haha! I don't know why you bothered replying mate!

Well that's a closer valuation than what shaktar valued alex texeira.

Flying to America costs less than a grand. Hardly surprising that it happened without anything concrete on the cards. Seems to me like its worth taking a punt on this to talk through a deal worth north of 50 million quid (when you factor in 5 years of wages etc.)
