If it’s this window that will not be a good sign to the rest of the players. in the summer, for sure an irreplaceable loss, but with Kieta and Goretska(or the like) coming in, I’d be looking to see what striker, keeper and other centre-back will be joining this now serious team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its looking far more assured with VVD in but a keeper this window is surely being looked at as well? You won't lose your star man until the summer anyhow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Could not have imagined a worse transfer from a Tottenham top four perspective. We'll just hope Man Utd and Mourinho continue their meltdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is Klopp’s value in loyalty, he’ll ride it out come what may in this season. He said himself that each player has a 12 month contract with him and he honours that as long as he gets the commitment in return. Come June 1st he is happy to get rid.

I still think United could slide a fair bit more though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see, Liverpool were the only one's who bid for him. Maybe the rumours about City going after him where to just bump up the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieH Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 i can't think of many transfers in recent memory where it hasn't seemed like the buyer is paying over the odds. i thought the same about john stones and he's become an excellent player.

Bredbury Blue Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 See Celtic will get 8m from the sell on deal (plus the 13m they sold him for). Southampton made 62m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not just City though is it Stevie. All the big clubs in the Prem get fleeced because everyone knows how much money there is in the Prem. At least Stones and Sterling are English, so we know there is an added premium for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored a number of goals for RBL in that fashion...parked buses don't like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Stevie, like most clubs we've bought some at a decent price and had to pay at a premium for other players.
