Fuck FFP - it's unenforceable. My main concern would be with being utterly ripped off by a guy who's insulted us in the past. Apart from Van Diyk i'm not aware of any centre half we've missed out on who would have improved us unless I've forgotten someone glaringly obvious ?agreed it is a lot of money. but at the end of the day we have missed out on multiple CB options because we were not prepared to pay for them
If we can afford it without breaking FFP - then we should do it
120 euro is pretty much dead on100m pounds.
I'd Offer £75m / €90m and see what happens.
Especially if Napoli go out of the CL tonight we might see KK try and force a move and ADL might decide he needs the money after all.
Just a minor point - I Want Liverpool to drop to Europa league...so that would require Napoli winning today :)
We could use a little LiVARpool kryptonite. I think this signing would send a clear message damn the price.Koulibaly is the Liverpool killer. Everytime they play Liverpool he makes Salah and Firmino his bitch. That alone should be worth something. Either way he's most likely the best CB in the world after VVD and probably even better than VVD at defending
Hopefully we make exceptions for the right player.. If not we are idiotsOur transfer strategy relies on us buying expensive, relatively young (usually under 25), established players with high growth potential. This is because we do not sell anyone of quality anywhere near their prime, therefore realising little to no value when they move on.
For that reason, it's a no to Koulibaly. A 28 year old doesn't have enough shelf life for us to throw big money at him. We're in need of tightening up our defence but we shouldn't be panicking and breaking our sttategy either.

It would be foolish IMO for the club to have the same transfer strategy when in the last 2 years of Pep's stay here than we did in his first and second seasons.
We are no longer building a team, we have a team. They shouldn't be looking for players to come in and develop under Pep over 4 years, we should be looking for the few finishing touches who can take us to the next level or replace outgoing experienced players (Kompany, Otamendi).
Fernandinho was 28 when we signed him. Are you seriously suggesting it wouldn't be worth signing a 28 year old Fernandinho if he was on the market this summer? Or Yaya?
Pep has form for this as well, At Bayern he brought in 32 year old Alonso and 28 year old Vidal to replace big players leaving (Kroos, Schweinsteiger). He bought 28 year old David Villa to replace Henry at Barcelona.
They can afford him now after Silver lake deal. If we manage to get him this January and you can quote me on that, him and Laporte together with Dinho back as DM we will win the Champions league.Exactly - if our club know they can afford the deal, just get it done.

I heard it had changed and now I've found this: 'As has been the case for a few seasons now, each of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 hopefuls is allowed to register a maximum of three new eligible players. Unlike previous seasons, however, it no longer matters if those players have already played in the competition for another club, or for another club still in the competition'.Am I missing something here? Seen a few posters saying similar, if he comes in January we will win the CL. Won't he be cup tied if he signs in January, or am I being Clarkied? It's too late/early in the morning for me to work it out.
Cheers pal. That's a big rule change. Good for us though if we do manage to persuade a decent CH to join us in the next few weeks.I heard it had changed and now I've found this: 'As has been the case for a few seasons now, each of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 hopefuls is allowed to register a maximum of three new eligible players.

This was on UEFA.com
Maguire was 85m so 100m for this guy sounds about right.100 million is ridiculous. Won't happen at that price.
