Until we get a buyer for Aquifanny, this one's gonna drag and drag and draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag...

It's getting to the stage now where i don't think we'll sign Adam. Aquilani coming back, no Adam, and Meireles going will piss me no end.
I know i've had a bit of a whinge about our activity in the transfer market to date, but i'm just not impressed. It seems we're setting low prices on certain players and expecting them to come off when the reality is that's not going to happen.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that is bs.

Manu actually got rid of their scouts last year, now their policy is just buy Liverpool targets.

Dont think it matters tbh, he wants to join us.
If Oyston wasnt such a cunt this would be wrapped up imho.

I never understand this attitude. He's trying to do the best for his club,he doesnt have to do us any favours. Whether his strategy works or not we'll see but people said he was stupid not to sell in January for 8m because Adam would be worth nothing with only 12 months on his deal. And the figure being routinely quoted as Adam's value is still a minimum of 8m, with a bit of a bidding war anticipated. So far so good from his point of view.
And imho no midfielders will be signed until we shift Poulsen and Aquilani.

Well, the attitude comes from the stories about him moving the goalposts. Yes 8 mill is enough. Agreed? No, now it 9 + a player on loan etc etc etc.

Liverpool target Charlie Adam today spoke of the ongoing saga surrounding his future, declaring 'whatever happens will happen'.
The Blackpool midfielder has been at the centre of a very public tug-of-war between the Reds and the Championship newcomers since he was denied a move to Anfield in January.
Seasiders' owner Karl Oyston confirmed last month that discussions had taken place concerning the 25-year-old but no offers had been forthcoming, despite Aston Villa and Tottenham both reportedly threatening to hijack Kenny Dalglish's move for his compatriot.
Adam has urged all parties to exercise discretion as they decide his fate, ahead of his return to to Bloomfield Road on Monday, when he will report for pre-season training.
"I go back to Blackpool on Monday and that’s the way it is," he told the Blackpool Gazette.
"Everybody knows the situation the club have met with Liverpool.
"But that’s as far as it has gone.I had a conversation with the chairman, Karl Oyston, but that will remain private.
"It’s important that we keep everything in-house - whatever happens will happen."

Your worries would have greater basis had we nt already shown a wilingness to spend big money on mere potential, which you've lready mentioned.
f we don't get Adam, it won't be because of a lack of money. It will be because we cant shift our dross and because Kenny cant see a need for 12 midfielders.

Aren't those separate issues though? If the dross aren't good enough I can't see Kenny playing them, whereas he clearly would consider Adam for a first team place. I wonder whether the reason this deal is stalling is simply that we won't be dicked around in the market by spivs like Oyston any longer.

Think we did that few years ago with Alves but most people blamed Rick Parry

Seville's chairman was/is a slimy operator but I heard that that one actually was our fault and that Parry was indeed involved. The version I was told was that we had actually agreed the fee with Seville but that the board, including Parry, wouldn't pay the whole lot at once and pushed for an instalment deal instead, at which point Seville pulled the plug.
