Joe Allen, LFC midfielders and midfield combinations and now the Jordan Henderson thread

I dont think boyhood allegiances count for a whole lot, even if they big up their fanboy status in the hopes they get tapped up.

Fake Ronaldo was supposed to be a Liverpool fan; and Solsjkaer was even the secretary of some Liverpool fan club in Norway or something

When Joe Allen to Liverpool was mentioned other day heard Swansea would use fee paid for Jordan Henderson as measure for any potential deal.

Well thats that then.

By all accounts we paid 16 million for Henderson. Allen seems to be far higher rated by some in here than Henderson. Therefore 16 million would probably be a fair price. In fairness to Swansea, they can ask for whatever we want. If we really really want him then we should pay what they want, otherwise we should piss off.

I'm sure they'd want £100m for him, so should we pay it? Of course not. The problem with us in the past is we've given right into clubs demands, we need to play hard ball.

Do you seriously believe they'd ask for 100 million?
I've already said that if we want to sign him we'll probably have to be willing to pay over the odds. If we dont want him, or if we're not willing to pay over the odds, then its not an issue.

In any case, I was referring to the tweet you posted where it was stated that Swansea would be talking around the same money as henderson. I believe that was 16 million or so (not 100 million!!). Would that be a reasonable fee for Allen? I dont know enough about him yet. But it seems that a lot on here rate him highly.
 
You said we should be willing to pay whatever they wanted for him, so I used the £100m to emphasis the point, that whilst i'm sure thats how much they want (they'd want the largest figure possible) thats not the players true value, or his value for us, and we should only be negotiating based on how much we value the player, otherwise we'll keep getting shafted.
 
What would be the point of Jordan Henderson if we signed Allen? Don't they supposedly occupy the same role in midfield?

Allen, Gerrard and Henderson would play for two midfield positions with Henderson possibly providing cover for Lucas too, there will be games for all of them, although he would rightly be third choice.

I said if we want him, then we should pay what they want (or thereabouts). But when I said that Swansea can ask for what they want it was in reference to the tweet that you posted, thats why I quoted it. Therefore I was thinking that they want around the same as what we paid for Henderson. I.e 16 million quid
 
We're definately interested then

LIVERPOOL FC boss Brendan Rodgers has broken his silence on the speculation surrounding Swansea City star Joe Allen - and admitted he would want to make a move for the midfielder if he became available.
The former Swans boss has been heavily tipped to make a move to take 22-year-old Allen away from the Liberty Stadium - despite a 12 month player protection clause stopping him swooping for players at his ex-employers.

But although he confirmed his admiration for the Wales international, he said there was nothing further in terms of launching a bid.
"I have a great relationship with Swansea, but if there is a market for any of the players I would like to be in that market," Rodgers is quoted as saying on ESPN, having also confirmed his interest in Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey. "He (Allen) is a very talented player, which everyone knows, but there is nothing more at the moment. When players come to a club such as Liverpool it is never straightforward."
Rodgers and Swansea have a written agreement stating Liverpool cannot instigate a move for Swansea players for 12 months after he quit South Wales for Anfield in June.

But that has not stopped talk of a deal happening, with Swansea sources conceding a bid of around £15m for their prized asset could alter the situation.
New Swans boss Michael Laudrup last week admitted a significant offer could tempt the club into cashing in, despite the financial health of the club meaning they do not have to sell.
But the Dane did insist he wants Allen as part of his plans for next season, the youth team product with three years left to run on his current Swansea deal.

Car salesman & estate agents must fucking adore you.
 
Seceral car salesmen have tried to sell me cars that I wanted. They owned them so they named the price. I decided I didnt want it that badly so I moved to the next target.

Its called "piss or get off the pot"
