C'mon now guys, would anyone expect a player to take the same wages whilst playing with Swansea then Liverpool? Bizarre stuff

I wouldnt. Rodgers is hardly on the same wage he was at Swansea.

Interesting one.. Hadn't heard of him being linked with us before. Sounds like a lot for him though.

Big Knox · 05-07-2012 8:38pm

There's no way in Hell we have made an Opening offer of 17m for Callejon.

paddy kerins · 05-07-2012 8:50pm

I read that as 7 million and thought "not bad", then I saw it was 19 million :eek:

Knex* · 05-07-2012 8:51pm

I thought this year we weren't overpaying for players? Almost 20m Euro on Callejon? Christ.

It must be crap. Why would we pay €20 million for a backup player who only cost Madrid €5.5 million the previous season.

Last year was overpaying on British players, this year is overpaying on European players...at least it's progress.

Like others have said, I would be very surprised f that Callejon rumour is true, and I hope it's not. The fee mentioned is extortionate and I don't like him

Dickerty · 05-07-2012 10:07pm

Vid of the team training today, great to see Lucas, plus Wisdom looks like a MONSTER. Hope his skills keep up with his physique. He looks a lot like Distin...

Gbear · 05-07-2012 10:58pm

I think there should be a fairly high reduction for players signed from Madrid. They've got an overabundance of talent and I think alot of it will have to be shifted on the cheap.

Even if that wasn't the case, I think that €20m for Callejon is insane. He's a fairly good player but I'd be disappointed if we payed even half that for him.

Plus he's probably the worst for diving and feigning injury in La Liga and that's with some serious competition.

On Siggurdsson, if you have a player who's very important to a lower level club it's entirely reasonable for them to be payed less at a bigger club where their talents are far less significant when compared to the squad as a whole.

Siggurdson would've been worth less to Liverpool than he would've been to Swansea. I'm delighted we've stuck to our guns.

While the bulk of the signings last season weren't totally disastrous the fees were and we could've been challenging for the title with that sort of outlay even if it was mostly raised from sales.
With our income, we don't need to be utterly amazing in the transfer market to challenge for the top 4 again - we just need to be competent.

Only one real Madrid player I want and it ain't callejon

Really only one? Benzema, Pique, Ramos, Ozil, Higuain, Khedira, even Ronaldo? I assume you meant Xabi...

Yep, just him. Unlike Chelsea/utd/city/etc, we aren't greedy at Lfc.

Fixed your post there. Alonso would actually be a few spots down the list of players I'd take from Real.

Why are they letting Spearing that close to Lucas? Shouldn't even be allowed on the same side of the street.

I know its two years away but, I'm already looking forward to seeing Neymar at the 2014 World Cup. Really think he could set that tournament alight.

Hoki · 06-07-2012 5:00am

Like whats been previously said - i dont believe this 'bull' from Rodgers about knowing Sigs market value with regards wages, there was always going to be a sizeable difference in wage demands from Swansea to Liverpool. I think all the pool fans defending the clubs honour in terms of not backing down from their initial wage offering are embarrasingly naive. The guy showed how much of a talent he was in his 5 month stint at Swansea & im fairly confident we will rue the decision not to match the Spurs offer by Xmas.

I know folks want to say the club has learned from their mistakes of overpaying last season but once again that's so infuriatingly naive. Granted we overpaid last season, but, when a hugely talented player comes on the market at a fraction of the transfer fee paid for lesser players ( imo ) & on possibly smaller wages - well then thats a risk that should be taken, especially considering we will at least make our money back on our original investment should he not work out & we are forced to sell him a couple of years down the line.

06-07-2012 5:03am

If Rodgers genuinely wouldn't go a penny over what had been agreed at Swansea then it's a poor decision IMO. I doubt that's really what it was though.

While i agree with you for the most part, i have to add that if Rodgers didnt want him or willing to pay higher then its his decision. Not the club holding firm on wage demands etc etc. Nobody will know Sig better in the EPL. I suspect if Rodgers really wanted him at LFC, we would have matched the wage demands of Sig. If he was a top target we would have matched his wage demands. We can only guess really.

And this Santiago whatever his name is, picked up that and tweeted as his own.

I believe he is, but he also failed at Hoffenheim, and no other German club wanted to take a risk on him, either on loan last season or now. He still has a lot to do to prove himself at a higher level...

why bother start such rumors so? It proves no point and ultimately dilutes the value which twitter can offer in quick transfer of information it is so useful for. And then people come on here wasting their time debating "supposed transfers" which are nothing but a fabrication posted up on twitter by some bored individual.

On an different note, it was great to see Lucas Training in them photos.
