Kalidou Koulibaly

[nmc]

Looking at Liverpool's defending against Leeds I'm not too concerned with our own deficiencies

We don’t have Michael Oliver to paper over the cracks...

If weve walked away from kk maybe this has legs.

Maybe, fairly sure if we’ve changed target there’s a couple of alternatives, he could be one but think it would need his release to be active now, again thought it was next summer but could be wrong.

Its now time to say thanks but fuck off
I believe we have fucked about deliberately & now leave Napoli with nowhere to go & KK stays & we focus on other targets
Who that is not sure

Upercano & Aoure = 100m yes yes

If we could do business I would take the above with Torres & Ake + young guns Moreno from Juve & Couto from Brazil as a good Summer

You never know Alaba could be a suprise

 

[RayCTID]

Can you really be so sure? He said in an interview he was told to focus on a few positions. Laporte played LB a few games.

It won't be a fixed position. Ake isn't an attacking full back

I don't think we are signing Alaba (as much I want us to sign him) wages would be a problem

Surely my post (and anyone else's for that matter) implies that not breaching FFP is a given when buying any player. My figures quoted also don't lend to your idea that it would.

1. We don’t like going over a certain amount for any player. In the past we have bought players in and around 60 million mark. Maybe we can’t afford to spend more in order to meet the requirements of FFP and ensure the club is continuing to make a profit over the recording period. This is why we haggle and have lost out some players in the past. Maguire and van dyke comes to mind.

I have read on here that FFP is slightly relaxed now into a rolling 2 year period maybe that will allow us to spend more.

2. You stated that it shld not matter if we pay 90 million and I disagree as it seems so does the club or KK would have already signed.

The figures quoted are unrealistic post covid. No one know what impact covid will have on how much we can spend per season apart from those directly involved.

I could be wrong on my conclusion. Preswitch would be the one to get a more concrete answer on all things financial.

I am merely suggesting that maybe the reason we haggle is because we cannot afford to spend the money mentioned and still pass FFP.

Would love it if we have screwed over ADL after they way he did us over Jorginho

Bargaining chip

So you think he will be gutted to keep Koulibaly? Don't think so.

 

[RayCTID]

It would be ADL's fault if that did happen

How would we know?

 

[RayCTID]

How would we know?

By asking for too much money he stays at Napoli.

By asking for too much money he stays at Napoli.

If he's asking for €70m, that's pretty much bang on his market value.

 

[RayCTID]

He might be looking for more.

 

[itisrising]

He might be looking for more.

If he is then we should move on. But most reports suggest he'd accept an initial fee of 62.8m.

If you check my post, I actually said it should not matter to the average fan how much a player will cost, not the club. I also stated that any purchase by the club implies NO breach of FFP.

My point being, if a player is identified and purchased, I don't care how much he costs, as long as he's good enough. Let the club worry about the cost.

sack this off ... Too much money for a 29 yr old who arguably didnl't have his best season and ADL is a fooking nut job!

Abandon this ship

Been said a few times already but i dont understand why people are so concerned about an extra 10m or so, when we know this guy is as close as we can come to ensuring we're much more solid at the back for 2 or 3 years minimum.

Its not like we're giving away a secret we have money. Pay the fee, get him in, chances are we instantly improve.
